Hello all. I completed a re-wire a few weeks back in an empty house but was unable to carry out the live testing as the supply was disconnected. So I left my tails hanging out of the fuseboard waiting for some juice. The service head was in the basement and the meter (fed by a piro originally) was at the top of the basement stairs - approx 7m away. My customer had contacted N Power to come round and fire it up, so they came round and installed a new meter and an isolator right next to the service head (about 6" of cable!) instead of the orogonal position, which now leaves me to run 7m of tails up the stairs. even though I replaced the CCU in the same position. Sods. Anyhoo, I now have to choose. Do I run an armoured up the stairs (the run is loaded with concrete pillars and obstacles) or do I run 25mm dbl insulated tails in trunking? I have never used a switch fuse before and wonder whether this would be appropriate here? Can someone show me what they look like? Any advise would be gratefully received.

In 17th def's, CONSUMER UNIT is still the listed term, followed by CCU or ECU. So there!!
cheers to 333rocky333. The only person who responded with a sensible and useful answer.
Incidentally, I have C&G parts 1,2, 2381, & 2391. But I guess I lack experience in some areas. After all I only know what I know....
I'll leave the rest of you to get back to your pedantic forum life, which seems to be a substitute for a social life looking at the amount of posts you have all made.

Chill out, it was only a little harmless fun!

Here is a picture of a switch fuse.
Oh boo hoo.
You didn't get the answer you wanted, so you slag off the very people you came to for help.
The simple fact is that you do not have the relevant experience to safely do the job you propose, so members of this forum will not advise you how to put you unwitting client in danger.
I hope you will leave us to get on with our pedantic forum by never coming back again.
