Before And After

Had a call out to do a full inspection and a Fuseboard upgrade.

2way Wylex Fuseboard and a 4 way Wylex Fuseboard, controlled by a 60amp isolator with trip switch.

Reasons for upgrade;

• Supply conductors 16mm (changed to 25mm)

• Main Earthing Conductor 10mm (changed to 16mm)

• Gas and Water Earth Bonds 6mm (changed to 6mm)

• No RCD protection (dual RCD split consumer unit installed)

• Over loaded boards, each fuse had too many circuits running from it ( 15way Consumer unit installed)

• No room for expansion on old board (15way consumer unit installed to allow for new circuits in the future.

• In correct fuse ratings. Some circuits where protected by the wrong size fuse and therefore were not protected adequately. (correct rated fuses installed)

• Fuseboard not fire rated and under wooden stair case/escape route(metal clad consumer unit installed)

• Fuseboard not labelled, no circuit identification throughout. (all circuits separated and identified)

Consumer unit cchangd, Supply conductos uupgradd, Earthing Bonds corrected and FULL inspection.

Minor changes such as metal fittings and switches removed.

Completed Fuseboard. Labelled and spare ways left for future works.
