Hi All
Wanted some advice being a newbie on this forum as well as a newish electricain.
Recently did a loft conversion and installed a 17th edition 10way consumer unit in the loft. Ran armoured cable from the fuse box in the loft to the main meter on the ground floor where the original fuse box is installed.
I’ve also upgraded the main ground floor fusebox to the 17th edition 15 way.
My question is, what’s the best process in connecting the loft fuse box to the mains:
Do I disconnect the main tail coming in to the ground floor fuse box, put this into a 100amp junction box and split the two fuse boxes this way.
Or do I connect the loft fuse box into the ground floor fuse box, only downside to this is when the fuse trips, will knock out ALL components in the loft.
Help/ Guidance is defiantly required.
Thanks
