Does anyone understand the logic of 'mandating' 25mm meter tails when upgrading a CU, when the sizing of other cables are left to the electrician's discretion?
I'm again having to explain to a little old lady with not a lot of money that she's need new meter tails with with tiny 6-way board, for her tiny 2-bedroom flat.
Massively cooking range to feed? Nope! 10.8Kw Powershower? Nooooh!
When copper is becoming an increasingly rare resource shouldn't we be fitting what's needed?
My guess is that the IET are simply 10 years out of date, plus someone somewhere calculate the specification, then a sub committee adds 10% to that, and the main committee thinks - let's be in the safe side, and adds another 10%.
Craziness gone mad!!!
