My own rewire cu advice

[peterb2428]

Hi,

New property time for new consumer see attached pics as need some advice. This might be a bit long winded but here goes. three cu's first one contains main switch and the following 30+30+5+15+15amps connected to standard black meter as seen in pic at top, then from the supply another off peak meter is fed and also a radio switch for the off peak - this feeds another 2 cu's via henley blocks containing a 4 unit 15+15+15+15amps and a 2 unit 15+15amps,

All are metal clad and the main unit has a seperate RCD switch after the meter,

Advice i need is as the meter goes to the rcd and the tails are short i was looking at putting in a 100A DP Supply Isolato rthen connecting to cu but i am unsure whether to put two boards back one for house one for all the 6 radials or whether to try and incorporate all into 1?

Advice please guys.

First thing I would do is rectify the inadequate earthing arrangement.

What inadequate earthing arrangement?

The B.S.951 earth clamp on the lead sheath of the suppliers cable.

Not touching that's one for the DNO (if you can get them to understand)

No alteration or addition shall be made to an installation unless the earthing and bonding arrangements are satisfactory. Therefore it is your problem.

Whilst it is not your problem directly, it is your responsibility to inform the DNO and hopefully get them to rectify it.

Yes thanks but it's one for the DNO as said earlier.

from your questions i wouldnt have said you are an electrician, thats why i suggested you employ one, not sure how thats sarcastic as its my honest opinion

from the nature of your questions and the simplicity of the answers i am surprised you are asking at all

Go away

I agree with Flukey, lots of qualified 'electricians' recently asking some basic questions, however I do not feel this should turn into insult trading.

Your right but not all questions can be about quantum physics or sinewave constitution

Sorry sometimes it's just banding about ideas even if they are basic.

After all you never know even basic stuff can sometimes throw up things that you didn't know - it's how we all learn.

Anyone new to the industry reading this thread im sure will avoid asking questions.

Remember theres never a stupid question only stupid answers

albeit 50mm not being 5cm?

Am I missing something here because surely peterb2428 can replace that incoming RCD with this Wylex 100A DP Supply Isolator . No need to get the DNO involved.

On another note, I asked a guy who was replacing analogue meters for digital ones if he would report me for cutting the main switch or meter and he said providing he could see there was work been done, ie replacement tails, new ccu he'd re-tag them and not report it.

true lenny, but it works both ways.
long term forum members that offer opinions only to have sarcastic remarks thrown back will stop offering their opinions
