Hello,
I need to arrange for a new consumer unit to be installed in a rented house. this will be installed by an electrician but my question is does it need to be a normal split unit with a single RCD or a full 17th edition box?
As the unit is to be fitted to comply with a council instruction and all that they have asked for is a box with RCD and MCB's I am hoping to use a Wylex split box that I already have....
The question really boils down to is 17th edition applicable to replacement consumer units as well as new installations?
Thanks for any advice - Gary
