Assessment and dodgy cut-out

[mst]

Hi all,

I have a new consumer unit to fit ,however im not sure how it would fair due to haveing one of the old types of cut-out where the neutral and phase is fused also the tails are the old 10-16mm cloth coverd stuff.

Know what i mean? Maybe i could get a picy on here.

Im getting a good Ze reading which is on a T-N-S system.

Do any of you think the NIC main assessment might count it as a "defrement" because of the cut-out? I know its nothing to do with my side of things and that i can write it on the ticket but for me to get the board round to change it can take them months to get there bum in gear.

Note the exsisting wireing is about 10 years old and has been nicely done.

Your views please?

I think it is unlikely for them to pull you up on that.

As you say the Ze is good, so no problem there.
As you know your installation starts at the load side of the meter, so all your side of things is fine.

If you are worried put in an application to the DNO for cutout upgarde / supply of a PME terminal, and show this to the NICEIC chap if he does pull you up on the cutout.



We have our inspection on Friday Fingers crossed!
