I've just put in a 10 way BG board into my house in preparation for my Part P competent person assessment.
After using all 10 ways I have run out of space on earth terminals, because as you all know to comply with wirring regs the two ring circuits will take up four connections.
I phoned BG tec support and was told that they don't offer an earth bar extension kit and apparently I was the first person to ask for one!! ( find that hard to beileve).
I don't want to fit an external earth bar just for the ring main and wire a 16mm cable back into the DB as it will look S**t.
I can free up the 2 of the 3 E terminals by a separate earth block in the meter cupboard and earth the SWA armour at the garage end.
This will then stuff up the earth numbering which again is another no no under the regs.
Has anyone any other Ideas???
Appart from changing the DB to a 13 or 16 way.
Will a extension kit from another manufacture fit??,
Cheers
