looks good

those isolators from TLC are just the job.

lol, only thing is..I didnt think the electricity companies normally like people breaking the seals on their main incomers?.. because break the seal on it, and whats to say somebody hasnt tried bypassing the meter?

Not only do they not like it, it is in fact unlawful and is subject to a Stg £1,000 fine.

There was no seal present, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

So I made these out of scale photoshopped pics.

Heh, my photoshop skills are not that great. You see joins? Strange.

How many ways is that consumer unit you got?

RCBO's at less than £20 (warm feeling about that !)

 

[AndyPRK]

what extra circuits are you fitting then ?

 

[sparkwright]

So the old brown fuse box will be removed eventually?

What's the use of the isco block and the isolator?

Surely once the new board is fitted you should never need to add any more consumer units.

Don't the DNO take a dim view of people fitting stuff on their back boards?

 

[sparkwright]

Where you have connected the 4 tails into that isco/henley etc block;
You should have connected the lives into the top section;
and the neutrals in the bottom section, imo.

The top section is recessed back, so reducing the chance of ever touching the lives and getting a shock.

not accusing of photoshop, I can see the back board has been cut down...

whats the toggle bit on the meter for? its pointing left in the first pic, but right in the rest??
