    Park Homes - Caravan or Building

    Thats what I thought yet the whole supply set up to the unit is as if it were a caravan. A small enclosure on a pole before the home with an RCD covering the whole installation, and only a 6mm 32A supply to it as well. No good for the electrica hob and double oven they wanted!!!!!!!!

    Click mode sockets

    Ive had problems with all of the Click range mainly the Switched FCU's. Had no power to extractor hoods or whatever and turned out that whilst it was supposed to be double pole it wasnt switching the neutral on, just the line.

    MK garage consumer unit tripping out

    You have installed a new circuit - certification should be produced AND building control notified. Just because you a know a little and might "get away with it" doesn't justify you are breaking the law. The fact you havent done any tests could also mean the installation is dangerous - just cause...
