Old shower circuit removed on consumer unit today. I isolated the Cu at the main switch and triple checked for deadness. Checked with a voltage approved tester. Removed the old MCB and associated wiring.
However it has come to my attention that the (32amp) ring main has 4 wires coming out of it. I am quite concerned, it should be only two right; only if someone has spurred a socket from it however this is not the case.
There are only 2 MCB's in this CU
1) 32 amp for the entire ring for the house
2) 6 amp lighting circuit.
The ring is covering the entire house and out of the four wires; three are going upstairs and one is going under the floorboards (two rooms) (first floor).
Could it have been DIY dave who installed this CU. Its a old 3871 type.
Thank you.
