A guy from the electricity board called at my house to move / remove meters and take out old storage heater /economy 7 stuff.
I had previously got an electrician to install a new consumer unit (its a hager) with loads of free bays cos i am extending into the loft and rewiring etc.
Anyway the electricity board man moved all he had to move and said I needed earth trips installed and that i could fit these into the hager consumer unit as i had plenty of free bays. He said that unless I undertook to either do this or get them fitted pronto he would 'close me down' by which he meant he would state the electrics dont come up to scratch .
I am handy enough with electrics and dont mind tackling jobs that I understand .Will someone tell me exactly what i need and how to fit them,I have fitted - installed -new circuits before, lighting and ring mains and of course installed back to consumer unit.and obviously take great care and want to pay particular attention to my safety both during installation and general day to day household use of the power supply.
These earth trip things cant be all that difficult to install ,I just need a bit of guindance.
Thanks to the people who took time to answer my previous post on earth cross bonding
