[QUOTE="RobSoanes, post: 558553, member: 38193"] I’ve just moved into a new house and the consumer unit is more than 3m from the incoming supply so the builders electrician has put in an 80A fuse then run 16mm to the consumer unit. All good so far but they’ve used 16mm T&E which only has a 6mm earth. Also no sign of any bonding to either gas or water - I notice only about ten percent of the houses here have gas bonding ( the gas cabinets are at the front of the house so the green & yellow is obvious ). If there needs to be a fix to this, I’d rather not have my ceilings destroyed to run a 10mm earth so could the fused switch be replaced with an RCD unit ? Thanks all [COLOR=rgb(147, 101, 184)]Moved from Electrician Talk Forum[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
