Like you said, button push stopping is easier said than done lol! She will understand soon but guess the adventurer in her is too much to control. Oh and the room in question doesnt have a door :lol: and that would pose me yet another problem which i am not going to go down!! I will do the...

hmm so 4 sockets could be enough as i will be using either surge protected extensions or rcd sockets (or even both) thanks for the heads up guys So just as a side note use 13a rated fcu spur with upto 4 sockets , and you cant use a cu from a spur correct?

Could i use a higher rated fcu from a single socket point?

Sorry i dont have a digicamera, there is room for what you say but itd be rather a tight fit, would be awkward (and dangerous) to fit as the spare space is right below the meter where the tails enter, not my idea of a fun installation :?

plugwash, i had been looking at those, but unfortunately the new cu cant be located any close than 4 metres :(

LOL NO!!, no such fishy cannibis plants or a secret porn ring, it is PC's i use for work, the hardware is sensitive inside, my daughter has a knack of pressing power buttons and the like quickly in sucsession, i just want to isolate them all, as i had this box handy i thought it might do! Few...

The main CU is isolated from the meter with the 100a breaker/switch so i dont have to remove the fuse. If i swicth the breaker off i am able to access the tails from the breaker to the consumer unit with no tingling sensations :shock: . So the main unit it isolatable from the meter without...

Yes i do have the permission :) its family who own the building, but he rather the new wiring was not messed with, whence the dilemma. The equipment in the room is sensitive and i do not wish anyone (including my children :twisted: ) messing with whats in there. When its not in use i want to...

Unfortunately i only have 1 lighting circuit so that is out of the question. Nor can i see any other circuits that i can combine. It was recently rewired and new consumer unit by the landlord, id rather not mess with the current configuration if possible. Nice idea though!

That was my original plan, but i need to isolate the new room independantly of the rest of the house. Having the extra consumer unit gives me a cheap way of acheiving this, its just HOW to do it best is the problem. Thanks for the feedback anyway!

Probably a daft question but here goes! I have a split load consumer unit already in place which is totally full with no spare slots. I need to create a new ring main for range of sockets in a new room with no electrical supply. I have a seperate 2 way consumer unit with a 32a mcb and the...
