no problem, just curious when zone 3 was scrapped now!

Dave - it is in the text mate, not the diagram:

must be quite an old product/ out dated manual: mentioning zone 3 (when was zone 3 scrapped?) and most things bathroom related now mention RCD supply

hi. does it still trip with both un-plugged? you may have a few devices on the rcd side of the board which are leaking a small amount and the oven / fridge freezer are the tipping point taking the rcd out. as said, the only way is to unplug all appliances (easier said than done) and plug them...

yes, my bad. for some reason i thought building control were involved

I have come across a length of 2.5 from the board to the opposite of the end of the house with 2 junction boxes in the middle "spidering" off for sockets. Not best practice by any means, although on a 16a breaker and technically a radial.

As BAS has pointed out, its about £1.50 for a registered electrician to notify via his provider.

it depends on the whatever your local council charge. i have heard prices from £175 - £400 plus. I think the higher the price the less likely they actually want to get involved with it. Edit: sorry i assumed this was for building control involvement- please ignore

the wiring regulations have stated that buried wiring must be protected by RCD long before July. Sounds like you have an RCD protecting one side of the board, although the lighting is on the other side. Can you upload a photo of the board? Edit: just remembered you have had sockets moved/added...

shame they didn't advise that before doing the work! Have they given you the option to change the MCB for an RCBO?

Hi. I don't get it. Are you saying once the electrician had completed all the lighting and kitchen work he informed you require a new consumer unit?!

Agreed.

BAS - i take your point, although i was just trying to make a point that in cases where the manufacturer asks for their (crap!) stuff to be protected by something other than the protection at the origin of the circuit: an FCU will achieve this. First things comes to mind is bathroom extractor fans.

hi. as robin has already pointed out, there appears to be interconnection of circuits which is going to need a sparks with test gear to sort out. its going to be a matter of disconnecting circuits at the board and then splitting the circuit (or at least what is to believed to be on them) until...

RIP Westie

hi. pedantic but.... if the lighting circuit was on 10 amp protection and the manufacturer of the cabinet requires, say 3, (admittedly the OP hasn't stated that they do) then an FCU would be an ideal way to achieve their requirements.

indeed!

BAS - i was really referring to modern, stud walls.

just caught up with this thread in its entirety and slightly on topic... this <50mm from the surface reg is very unlikely to be met when you think about it. if its >50mm on one side, its going to be <50mm on the other side of the wall considering most (albeit, not all) walls are no more than...
