Good day my friend...you have to change your consumer unit?
I can do it for you, and very cheap too

Just practising for my next sojourn to Spain in April...
can't wait, this weather here is doing my head in.

You're after a free working holiday ain't you?

Well I'd hoped this was a helpful forum but instead I see you're just the usual bunch of internet trolls. Well done, anyone can be brave when they hide behind a keyboard.
I'll be going ahead with the job anyway, you could have helped and maybe given me some pointers from your obviously vast array of knowledge but no, you had to be smart arses so I'll just do what I usually do and work it out for myself. I haven't blown anything up yet so maybe it'll go okay, maybe not, either way I know you couldn't give a ----.
Cheers...

It appears dal is rating us all dumb because we don't have a clue and he does... or is it the other way around

Just a dumb rating for a dumb answer. The couple that at least tried to be a bit helpful were rated accordingly.

I know and thank you, I really appreciate your help.

Lol. When it catches fire invite us all round for a BBQ

Let us know how you get on.. I'm curious as to what cable (e.g. SWA) is best, according to the Spanish regs and if a switches isolator is required.

Was thinking about an apt response to Dal's obvious "I know what I'm doing , they don't post" but thought "don't add fuel to the fire" but you nailed it right on.
People think Electrics are easy, whereas we all know it's not as black and white as Mr and Mrs Public think it is. Dal obviously thinks he knows best and was coming to us for advice he didn't expect, well Dal that's how it is, you have peeded off so many Forum members with your holier than thou attitude and got what you deserved, so go on report me, dumb me, I don't give one.

I will, the distance from the meter array for all the apartments to my CU is further than the distance from the lower CU to the upper CU so I'm going to ask at the local suppliers if the same cable will be suitable, I'll ask about the isolator but plan to put one in anyway just not sure whether to position it downstairs (preferable so I can cut off upstairs easily) or whether it has to be adjacent to the upper CU.

I'll let you know! Cheers!

Well it’s not rocket science is it?
Or is it?

I'm not reporting anyone, I don't care enough about your posts to take the time. As for "holier than thou attitude", well I think you have that arse about face.

Estupido!
Oh well, I've been called worse...and frankly I thought you got some good advice Dal. There is no reason to call us trolls hiding behind a keyboard. I suggested you get an electrician in because I actually do have some experience of Spanish electrics and their often weird ways...that doesn't make me dumb, it makes me concerned/friendly/helpful as are the others you have dumbed...maybe the humour just didn't get through to you.
I hope you achieve your aim with ease, and your connections work well and safely.

In the UK, if the tails are longer than 3 meters then a fused isolator has to be fitted, close to the meter..

If you didn’t care ,why did you dumb us then

Yes there are isolators directly above the meters (RCCB/RCD?), there are supplier's fuses before the meters (screw in ceramic types). In Spain the isolators must be accessible from outside the dwelling in all cases I believe.

Don't go there Mate
