Cascading Consumer Units.
I need an additional circuit, but the CU is full. Is it permissible to
move a circuit to a new CU and use the freed-up fuse to feed the new CU? (Yes I know I need about Part P) |

(Yes I know I need about Part P) Would be a better option in most cases to split the supply via a Henley block to feed both CUs directly, or replace the existing CU with a larger one if space permits. Just my off-the-cuff opinion! This is better, but the OP's suggestion is also allowed. Would suggest using a BS1361 cartridge fuse on the way which feeds the second CU, as it will offer better discrimination than daisy-chaining MCB's, where you'll likely find they both trip on short circuit faults. -- Andrew Gabriel |
