two consumer units

[mcm]

hi all

asked to change two boards the other day to new 17th boards. the two boards was running from the same supply i.e single phase with 100amp main fuse. has anyone else seen this before and is it acceptable.

Why wouldn't it be OK?

 

[telectrix]

could you not combine the 2 into 1 larger board. ? 1 board is not for off peak, is it?

Yes it's fine I have changed a few, one one set up I had to make a board and a half day rate and the other half off peak tarrif, just meant buggering about cutting busbars and fitting an extra main switch, but I used a couple of 15 usable ways Wylex's with flexi internal conductors so I could shove stuff around

If you want a single point of isolation the fit a 100A isolator before the boards.
