Hi
I had been busy doing a new kitchen in my house, 1930.
During the work, I add a new fusespur spur from a downstair ring main for a washing machine, checking the rest of cables to lighting, ringmain etc, discover that some of cables are from 1970, some from 1985, and got a old 6 way rewireable fuse board with a sep. RCB 30MA trip on meter tails to board. I have a electric cooker and it connect to a cooker/socket switch which also connect to a fan unit via a 3amp fusespur in 2.5mm T+E. The cable for cooker to fuseboard is 10mm T+E cable. Is this correct?
Also I have a 9kw mira sport I fitted 2 years ago, The cable run from fuseboard protected by 45a trip to pull cord switch to shower and within 9 metres long, no problem. Now I would like to use a imm. heater, but no spare fuse.
So is it time to rewire 3 beds house? At the moment, I replaced all rewireable fuse with trippers as a temp.
How many fuse way do I need? I have to have a spilt load unit.
Hope this help.
