Ryefield board

sponge23 · Apr 5, 2020

Hoping to install (if things get back to normalish) a Ryefield board on a job soon. Haven’t installed one before, according to the drawing from UKPN, the meters will be after the ryefield board - will the suppliers do their own tails into the ryefield board or will I have to supply that? Seems a bit of a grey area..

The DNO will give you a head and then that is it. Once the installation is complete then you can apply the the meters. All the Ryfield Board and sub-mains must be carried out by the electrical contractor.

You’ve got to put all the gear in, all they do is connect the tails hanging out to their head and install the individual meters.

The dno will request an isolator before the ryefield aswell, also there will be a pme link inside the ryefield (factory fitted ) this needs to be removed if there is to be pme at the head.

Thanks all. So in answer to my original question, I need to put in the tails from the ryefield board...

Not the best picture, its installed in a dark basement with other scruffy services but anyway heres one I'm working on. The small enclosure above the Ryfield houses a SPD. Which is fused from the Ryfield unit. I'm going to add an indicator light to the passive relay on the SPD before its finished..
