Hi,
I am currently renovating my first house (not living it it while I do it) One of the jobs is rewiring, as there is a lot of old aluminum cables, spurs from spurs, spurs from the 32A ring made in 1.5mm T&E, chock block buried in plaster, "interesting" cable routes, and an FCU in the bathroom, directly over the bath (well, where the bath was before I removed it anyway!) easily reachable when standing in the bath, and I am sure much more I have yet to find... The service head on the main cable is very old (1930's) a call to the DNO has confirmed this should be changed, and they will also change me to a PME supply, with a 100A fuse (Rather than the 60A one I have now). I have removed to old fuse box and am now left with a Henley block after the meter, connected to a 20A switch-fuse with 10mm tails. This used to supply the garage, I have removed this connection (aluminum) and connected a double socket to it, so I have some power. When they come to change the service head, and change me to PME, will they be happy with this temporary connection (Particularly the 10mm tails) or do I need to up rate them to 25mm (Which means I will need to go out and buy a new switch-fuse, as this one has small input terminals!) Thanks! Toby... |
