Hi All,
I am adding new sockets,switches and light fittings to a refitted industrial unit.The existing 3 phase board looks about 40 years old with catridge type fuses.Can I connect a new single phase board to this using one of the existing ways via a 63 amp cartridge fuse?.Also I can pick up the existing power radial feed,can I reuse this.The old lighting circuit was spurred off the power radial can this also be reused as a supply source.I have pointed out to my employer that it would be better to install a new ring and seperate lighting circuit,but for the sake of speed cost etc and ease of installation I have been told to connect to the original supplies.Your views please,Thanks.
