there isn't a FA system at the moment ,i wonder where the F/A system feed from .and looking at 16mm tails feeding all that lot .
It looks like they are at the moment, all of that mess is fed from the T&E in the bottom right of the picture
Lands supply amd meter .It looks like they are at the moment, all of that mess is fed from the T&E in the bottom right of the picture
Reselling and making a profit ??Be interesting to know how the electric is being charged if tenants have card meters and it all runs through the Landlords meters.
Reselling and making a profit ??
Each flat will have its own consumer unit covering 3/4 circuits, there not large flats, more like studio flats, there will be a means of isolation in each flat via the flats cu , just wondering the best method of providing isolation at the main board, does there need to be individual isolation there to as it is now, each flat will be on its own MCB at the main board. Also at the landlords main board there will be the F/A and two landlords circuits for communal hallways. The card meters in the flats are sub meters, the landlord sells the cards to the tenants .All of the flats could be fed from a single DB, however it should not be an MCB distribution board. For any hope of discrimination each flat needs to be fed via a fuse or possibly an MCCB.
With that in mind it will almost certainly be cheaper to install a switched fuse for each flat supply.
Then there is also the future convenience of operation to be considered, it will be far better to have seperate switchgear for each flat to allow any future work to be done without disturbing other flats.
The size of the supply for each flat needs to be calculated and the cable size calculated.
If you have been a trainee but aren't now then that implies you are now, and fairly recently, fully qualified so you should have the knowledge to carry out cable calculations far better than just guessing at 6/10 maybe.
