Switch Panel upgrade

[atm84]

If an fuses for existing spare switched fuse unit within a switch panel is now obsolete (GEC Alsthom) then is it going to be a case of upgrading the whole panel if I want to add a new circuit?

That could turn a £500 job into about a £10k job.

I suspect I could get the parts off eBay but they probably aren't back by manufacturers warranty any more and don't want to install something that isn't legit.

Thanks. I'm fitting a 200 amp. Is there any stipulation as to where that can go?

It can go wherever you have a space. Ideally though if no 250A switches are present or are envisaged for any future installation, at the first bay on the bus riser....

As E54 said, anwhere it will fit.
