A couple of photos of your consumer unit and incoming supply would help people to give you correct advice.
It's by no means certain, or even possible, that there is anything wrong with your electrics, given what you have said.This is a bit different, the electrics obviously work ok, everything is earthed.
Yes - but, as I said, unless you have seen inside your CU and seen that only one cable goes to the MCB, you can't know whether it is a ring or radial circuit. If it were a ring and had multiple unfused spurs from spurs (which may be what you were describing), it could be potentially 'dangerous', and certainly contrary to current regulations.From the replies and the research I've done since it would have been unnecessary anyway. This radial circuit type at first thought just didn't seem safe or proper, turns out it is. And that is essentially the question I asked.
That's obviously true, and could be said of any electrical installation, but can only be (and, as you say, not completely) addressed by having the electrical installation fully inspected and tested.But as a general note I would caution against assuming that working OK equates to being OK.
and plenty of experience setting up low voltage circuits for machinery and equipment but nothing to do with mains electricity and I've never touched it before either.
But low voltage is not necessarily "mains".But "mains" is low voltage.
would you have said "But buses are passenger vehicles"?... plenty of experience driving passenger vehicles but nothing to do with buses
Or are you only defective when it comes to your electrical obsessions?
Was that directed at me?Rude!
These are all assumptions and speculation, I find it hard to believe this can be established without. (1) looking inside the distribution box/CU and (2) doing some dead tests.
What evidence do you have of a recent rewire? I am insure if this is a recent purchase and proof of any historical electrical work has been given to you via documentation.
Was that directed at me?
If so.
Just stating the facts as I see it, no intention to come across as impolite.
The presence of a new meter is totally unrelated to the condition of the installation.Although, the electric meter looks to be brand new so whoever fitted that must have been happy with what he found.
