[QUOTE="DiddyFA, post: 470770, member: 21516"] The existing flat cuand existing shop cu are right next to each other in another room 15 meters away from the new db and incomer ect. I was wondering if i could take a 4 core from main new db to feed exisiting shop cu and exisitng flat cu....like i said this is obviously what was once a shop with an upstairs which has been converted..so the situated flats db right next to shops db....at back of shop...new stuff is going in at the front of shop.....thats's what i was going on about when i said could i then split the 4 core cable to feed both cu's ? Both cu's will be on the same phase......In my head, I think I "should" run two separate 3 core armoured 1 for each board. ....Was just wondering if you "could do this and split it somehow in old db cupboard. The other question was just about metering arrangements...will ukpower just reconnect the existing meters and install a 3 phase meter on the same day ? Like i said just nosey as I REALLY AM NOT DOING THIS...I have done every skill involved in the job...i have done fuse rooms ect so have experience in doing this type of stuff but have never designed it for myself. Also have seen uk power networks in action before and the slightest thing they don't like or not ready they are off like whippets lol. [/QUOTE]
