I've not got tables to hand but check your earth loop impedance
against disconnection times for the 40A mcb

The sub-main earth loop impedance (20m of 10mm2 and 20m of 16mm2)
should be about 60mOhm (37mOhm + 23mOhm) so about 0.4 ohms total
(TN-C-S) - about 600A fault current. A type C MCB needs 10x rated
current, so 500A for a 50A MCB. Unless I've boobed it should be OK.


I think I must be missing something here... where does the 20m of
10mm^2 come into this?
Sadly, it was me that was missing something - I'd forgotten about the
extg CPC being in parallel with the new single. I must be getting old.

Ah, ok, sorry I though I had missed and extra cable somewhere rather
than being the extra CPC/Bonding conduction for the submain
