[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 16854, member: 250"] In our little 'real world bonding thread' the point about the old wylex CU with a wooden back was mentioned.... { have a read of this thread if you haven't already look at it... [URL="http://www.talk.electricianforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1377"]http://www.talk.electricianforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1377[/URL] } So as there seemed to be a bit of interest from those guys interested in 2391 I&T.... Lets have another look at the CU... does this comply OR not? what observations could be made about this fusebox? Try & justify with appropriate regs or guidance notes? [URL="http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll306/SPECIALLOCATION/CUBOND.jpg"]Here's the CU picture again[/URL] A few facts need to know.. 4 circuits.. 1 x 5amp radial lighting u/s 1.0mm 1 x 5amp radial lighting d/s 1.0mm 1 x 30amp ring sockets u/s & d/s 2.5mm 1 x 30amp radial old cooker (now 3 sockets & FCU in kitchen) 6.0mm NO electric shower OR electric over/hob/cooker. [*edit*] NO immersion Heater [*edit*] Total load should not be any problem with this 4-way CU e.g. simple diversity calc 100% biggest circuit 40% remaining circuits 30 + (40x0.4)= approx 46amps. All fuses are semi-enclosed BS3036 re-wireable. from previous thread we know 6.0mm main bond to Gas & Water 16mm incoming tails 6mm incomming from MET to CU earth bar. PME earth arrangement (TNCS). well there you go.. [B]Discuss?....[/B] ?:| (my money's on the VET getting it all spot on!! ; \ ;) :o :^O:^O:^ O) [/QUOTE]
