[QUOTE="apprentice87, post: 392797, member: 13534"] Err, no, you are not allowed to use the Cutout fuse to protect your installation, it is there purely to protect the service cable from overload. Anymore than three meters tail length, and you WILL need overcurrent protection.. To quote Eon; "The customer’s consumer unit must be located so that the conductors from the electricity cut-out are no longer than 3m in order to comply with BS7671 regulations. If the unit exceeds this requirement, then suitable switch fused protection must be installed. This protective device must still be installed within the 3m limit" john.. [/QUOTE]
