I have now rewired the house and have brought all the tested cables to the position of the old consumer unit.
the earth is entering the property via an armoured cable (not sure if this is relevant at this stage).
I have via general opinion set the unit up as split load with the kitchen ring and cooker point mcbs on the isolater part. The other circuits are then via the 30ma rcd in the ratio of 8 rcd and 2 switched.
obviously the tails come in and go to the line in of the switch. do I duplicate with the rcd ie run a tail from the line in of the 100amp switch to the line in of the rcd or does this (the rcd) get its line in from the load side of the 100amp switch?
obviously to be safe my friend will bring a megger and do the "real testing" I wanted to get as much as I could done prior to his arrival.
regards in advance
