Hi everyone,
Just purchased a new place and have already stripped out all the rooms as plan a complete renovation.
Whilst everything is bare I wanted to ensure nothing seems amiss with the electrical side of things. Previous owner had the house re wired a few years ago and the sparky even left a floor plan of how everything is hooked up.....she didn’t have a receipt or proof of work so just want to make sure everything sounds ok.
So the CU is a metal cased 10way Crabtree unit with Iso switch and has been fitted completely with rcbo’s, so most things are on their own circuit.
So.
32a RCBO for downstairs sockets set in a radial circuit with 2.5mm T+E cable.
32a RCBO for upstairs sockets set in a radial circuit with 2.5mm T+E cable.
6a RCBO for downstairs lighting, loop in/out setup on 1.5mm T+E cable
6a RCBO for upstairs lighting, loop in/out setup on 1.5mm T+E cable.
6a RCBO for combi boiler in 1.5mm T+E cable, which goes to a 3a fuse switch in wall which then goes to boiler.
32a RCBO for cooker in 6mm T+E cable wired into a double pole iso switch before cooker. Cooker rated max at 16kw
20a RCBO for fridge on 2.5mm T+E cable
I’m no electrician just writing what I have in front of me, the house is quite small so cable runs aren’t that long and from what the previous owner told me all wiring has been fitted with plenty of air and not through any insulation etc
So at a glance does that seem to be ok, I’d rather get some opinions before i start fitting walls/floors as you may see something that should be re looked at.
Thanks for your time.
