[QUOTE="M107, post: 44347, member: 28"] Not if you are using the rcbo at the supply end. Leave it where it is would be my option, if customer isnt wanting to pay out more for the job, remember you'll need to test & rectify any faults on all circuits if you shift the cu. Where is the meter in relation to the cu? you might be able to fit a small enclosure in the meter cab (not supposed to but I've never had any come back) & split the tails. Yes you are supposed to get the DNO out to remove the seal & cutout (if it's not one of them new AMPEY meters with the nice iso switch), but like most things it'll cost........so I just ring the DNO say I'm removing the seal due to safety upgrade of the cu, they say fine note is made on customers details held by dDNO that a reseal is required at next visit. By the way I'd put 2 core 10mm swa in, use the armour as the cpc, & terminate into an insulated enclosure at the shed, then TT the shed. [/QUOTE]
