I have no reason to believe a sparky went in there, all a sparky
did was fit an electric shower, switching off the master switch
on the fusebox inside the house would have sufficed.
Well the sparks would need to see what sort of supply it was if
he
was going to fill in an electrical installation certificate for
the shower.
What information could he possibly get from the meter box that
would be applicable to installing a shower? Everything he needs
to connect to is in the consumer unit, and labelled for him.
Let's see.
Type of supply (ie earthing arrangements),
The earth will be available in the consumer unit. He connects to
that, not in the meter box.
number and type of live conductors,
You can see in the consumer unit what is available. In this case,
one 100A 240V conductor.
details of protective device.
Which is in the consumer unit.
Wrong, wrong and wrong.
Have a look at an electrical installation certificate.
Haven't got one, you tell me, you're the electrician. There is no
reason to need anything other than access to earth, live, neutral, see
what breakers are there or fit one, and check the amperage is
sufficient.
I have already told you. You need info from the cutout. The CU info
means
**** all to your question
This house has a 3 phase cutout. Until we sufffered a loss of supply in
the road last summer I assumed we had a 3 phase supply. It turned out we
only had 2 phases incoming. No idea why.
Can you get two phase equipment?
That isn't the reason for a 2 phase supply. That is done
because there isn't enough current on a single phase
supply, usually because electrical heating is used there.
That would be rather uneven. Maybe, like my Dad, someone wanted more
juice.
Yes, that is the usual reason.
