Hi all,
I am extending the house cables to fit a new con unit about 50cm away from original fuse box, 10-way including 2 showers, max cable size 6mm.
Whats the best way of doing it? I thought of using wago connectors, correctly rated and housing it all in original fuse box housing, minus fuses etc. It is in a very awkward place under a kitchen unit but accessible. I'm fitting new con unit on t'other side of unit wall which is the end of the run.
Cheers..
 
adaptable box, with din rail. fit line or wago din rail connectors. don't use the earth type connectors or testing will be a right pain. think a post by nicblake from ages ago has a pic of one he did.

You probably have the answers you need above, so I just want to ask......your location states Essex but your text stinks of Yorkshire!lol
Are you from the best part of England????
