Replacing a CU is notifiable. And how do you know the existing unit was right?Wasn't aware that you need to notify the local authorities if you are replacing exsisting units with exsisting wiring....
The manufacturers, quite correctly, work on the basis that if you don't know how to do it without being told then you shouldn't be doing it.No wiring diagram came with ther unit.
What size cables are you using?So is this the right way to wire this unit?
The Building Regulations draw no such distinction - the concept of "like for like" is not mentioned.Wasn't aware that you need to notify the local authorities if you are replacing exsisting units with exsisting wiring....
If it is a like for like change.
Schedule 2B explicitly makes replacing CUs notifiable.So if your new CU is the same as the old one no need to notify.
No wiring diagram came with ther unit.
