New Build Install Advice

[AJT83]

Hi all,

Just quoting for some new build houses and need a bit of advice. The consumer units will be approx 8 metres from the cut out. What is the correct way of going about getting the tails to the board? I think its a case of a 25mm 2 core swa with a separate 16mm earth with a 100a double pole isolator next to the meter. Is this correct? Or do i need an 80a switched fuse instead of an isolator and or a 3 core swa instead of a 2 core?

Thanks.

what do you think ?

presumably you have already checked that either would comply with bs7671 but you still might want to check with the DNO to see what they are happy to protect with their fuse.

to long try 3mtrs ,fuse switch need for that 8mtrs .

What size DNO fuse?

Tell them consumer unit is in a daft place and get them to move it closer to the cutouts
