There will always be a situation that the last spare way will be used.
Its all the radial circuits going in these days clogging up all the capacity. ?
It's a new build.....they should check the schedule, EIC or, at least, the labelling, to get some info. If nothing , contact the providers for details.IS the OP sure that some of the MCBs are not empty ? In the past I have left unused MCBs in the actual board. Especially when I used to do new builds rather than have dozens of MCBs kicking about the van I used to leave them sited in the actual board.
I'm not aware of a reg although that's not to say there isn't one. As for guidlines there could well be but you probably couldn't go back to the builder with it. Still pretty poor when designing a new build it wouldn't even have cost much, if anything extra.Isn't there a reg (or at least a written guideline somewhere) giving a guidance of spare capacity for a consumer unit?
Exactly, unless you hit the max size for a given range the cost difference in the bigger box itself is trivial.Still pretty poor when designing a new build it wouldn't even have cost much, if anything extra.
The requirement was 12% spare wasn't it?
