Hi guys, Just a quick one....Honest...
The picture attached is what a friend has been given for a shower CU.
I'm really being nosey, but could someone explain something here...
The Current set up already has tails to a black splitter box (cant remember what their technical term is), one set off to old CU and another set heading towards the new CU for shower. (potentially)
The shower is a 9.5kw mira, running on a 10mm cable.
The incoming meter tails don't seem quite 25mm (I could be wrong here tho) the new tails that are ready to be installed are 25mm Double insulated, so maybe the older ones are 25mm..
as you can see from the picture the setup is as follow...
RC263/030 63A RCBO??? (Is it)?
MC140B C40 MCB?
the rail these sit on is very flimsy, and I'm pretty sure isisn't buzz bar setup.
The Nuneutrals obs coconnections the cable to block is in place.
ImI'mot sure that the 10mm shower cable will fit into just one of the coconnectorsho, will this ahhaveo be split between two???
Also the live side of what I'm calling the RCBO seems to have a bridge bar to the MCB, I aassumethe shower feed live will cconnectto the top of the MCB, thus the ccircuitwill have RCBO pprotectionvia this link bar?
Again the Earth cconnectorlooks very small, and my friend has been told that a couple of 4mm earth links from main CU earth block to new CU earth block will be ok for this?
Sounds to me like he got a dodgy sparks in, but id like to make sure i know where I'm coming from before i put in my two peneth..
Look forward to the comments on this one...
