Sub Board?? How shall I go about it?

[Moaz]

Im starting fresh electrical work on a new build. The mains is coming on the ground floor, from there I need to wire 3 more CU. What's the best way to go about it? So altogether there'll be a CU on each floor. Ground floor, first, second and third. 4 CU's altogether. What do you guys reckon?

What type of building is this, and what kind & number of circuits? House? Offices? Something else? Bit difficult to comment without more information.

I reckon you are not a qualified electrician and that you should not be starting any electrical work!

 

[buzzlightyear]

Worst time to ask a serious question, here on a Friday night. Especially as all the chaps are off to bed to get up early to see the Royal Wedding, bless 'em.

It's a house. 10 Bedroom house. I'd say there's around 10 circuits on each CU

Well you will need a cable pulling into each new DB won’t you. It’s hardly difficult to work that out was it if you knew what you was doing.

So I'm not clear what you are asking?

Re-reading the original post, it seems you've already decided there will be one CU per floor, and you want to know how to supply each CU from the intake?

Or is this still open, e.g. you could instead put everything in one plant room where the supply enters the building?

40 circuits in a house - a bit OTT if you ask me

Your decision, or somebody else?
