Scenario:
In an old house, the main fuse board is next to the supply intake, which feeds sockets, cooker, immersion.
For the lighting, there is a separate sub-board in the centre of the house, fed by a 2.5mm T&E distribution circuit from the main board.
This 4-way sub-board is antique, cast iron with porcelain fuses, above a ground floor door - and has to go prior to renovation work.
The lighting is singles in metal conduit, with the conduit used as the CPC, but is in very nice condition, no need to replace any of it.
Intent is to run the 4 circuits in T&E individually back to the main board (which is being replaced by a modern CU).
There's not a lot of room in the ceiling void.
Question:
Ideally I'd like to cut off the conduits in the ceiling void, and connect the T&E to each circuit.
Any suggestions for the best way to do this, nicely terminating the conduits/singles, and all maintenance free and meeting regs?
