same as you would normally use. or you can get dual tarrif CU's if you want to keep everything in one unit

As regards to bondongs etc, is it ok to have all bondings on normal cu then link MET together?

Many thanks

Oh and are storage heaters ok with B type mcb's?

 

[Andy™]

yes and yes. MET's must be linked or you risk different earth potnetials

Depends what you have!

What is there now? I have ecomemy 7 and 2 seperate consumer units (so the night storage heaters come on only at night). What you need depends on what you already have!

Andy said in the 2nd post that dual tariff CU's are available. The board has to conform to the 17th ed reguards RCDs etc so split load is 1 option, RCBOs another.

My storage heaters are on their own DB with 5 20A breakers.
