[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 14981, member: 250"] Hello Anderson... because of the length of the post I am going to split it up into more manageable chunks... (I was going to say.. are you sure you are competent to do this.. but just had a quick look at some of your previous posts.. & I understand you are recently qualified looking toward working for yourself but still doing old job ?? ) Any way GENERAL RULE NO 1. ALL work should comply with the wiring regulations current at the time that the work is carried out. So your CU change should comply with the current 17th edition.. when changing a CU you are altering every circuit, (cuz different overload protection) so 'IMHO' ALL circuits should now comply with 17th. Just as a side note:- What you call a conventional 10-way split load board.. 'could' be 17th compliant IF all of the non RCD circuits were wired in earthed metal conduit & supply NO circuits to bathrooms or outside. The CU wholesalers call 17th are normally FULLY RCD protected on all circuits. Personally I would fit a fully RCD protected CU, High integrity job probably? [/QUOTE]
