Old imperial conduit/new board

[ryan24]

Thanks. how would this leave me with adding a shower circuit?

No, anyway Who ever wired that 4 way up,good practice was to always fit the biggest circuit close to the dp switch.

I know there isn't, I just wondered why there was a post that said there was! Daz

For not much outlay just get a board and RCBOs in there. Not many circuits so shouldn't be too dear. Daz

Or a dual RCD 6 way british general board, <£50 at Electricfix, give you a way for the shower and a spare way.

That Wylex 3036 CU looks Brand New!! lol!!

Where's the earthing conductor? I can see the tails and the bonding into the MET....

 

[Engineer54]

So do you think the board could be changed and incorporate an RCD and still use the conduit as the cpc?

In a word ...Yes!! Providing it's continuous and tests out favorably. Check out the Zs values for each circuit that you have now...

Is it?

You’re concentrating all the circuits that are liable to get warm in to one area. By interspersing high and low loads you get better heat dissipation.
