Default Garage supply and new meter?

On Sun, 14 Mar 2004 18:38:47 +0000, in uk.d-i-y T i m
strung together this:

I found the dimensions / spec for the current range of MK Sentry units
..

That looks the same size / format for my old blanking module?


Possibly compatible with something, I've got 2 big boxes full of MCB's
etc... so I can usually find something to fit. Failing that, take one
of the old MCB's round a few wholesalers and check what they've got
and what will fit. Most importantly is the 'internal dimensions'. By
that the din rail slot in relation to the front of the MCB and the
alignment of the busbar connection.


So, I think you were suggesting previously I fit one of these ..

Only because of the mention of a 100mA RCD in your original post. Now
I know what earth you've got, you don't need it.

Can't check the busbar though.

61.70 +vat though! (I could fit that later though couldn't I)

Instead of the incommer on my main CU then just stick a garage (RCD)
CU or std switched CU with MCB's (lights) and 30mA RCBo's (power) in
the garage.

You've lost me there.

Can I confirm .. the SWA to the garage HAS to be protected by a RCD or
not?

Not.
