Hi,
I want to know if there is a maximum distance that a consumer unit can be installed away from the meter (the property is on the Isle of Wight).
The property has an existing fuse type consumer unit (with only 3 fuse ways) in the integral garage. I want to put a new consumer unit inside the property itself but this means that the meter will be approx 5 meters from the consumer unit.
Is it acceptable to join the existing and new meter tails (from the new consumer unit) using a 100Amp Henley block, or is it best to run new tails from the new consumer unit and get the local electricity company to connect them up?
