Hi all,
I recently carried out an EICR on a two up two down terrace. The cut out out has a sticker on it saying 80 amp. The main switch of the consumer unit is rated at 63 amp.
Cleared all the C2 faults but stuck with this.
No - I didn't break the seals to check!
I did, however, phone the DNO, who offered to 'pay a complimentary visit to check the condition of the service head', but I get the impression that they may not change the fuse to 60amp (not their fault consumer unit switch is 63amp).
It's all a bit daft. The load on the house is tiny. No electric shower, no electric oven - just lights and sockets.
Seems stupid to uprate the main switch - and there is no isolator either....
See what happens when they visit - but I just wanted to close this job out.
I suspect others have had similar situations - I wonder how this is going to pan out?
