Hi,
Hoping someone can help. I've just bought a property that is very old and has not been lived in for a while. I'm planning on doing it up and moving into there. The problem I have is that the whole of the re-wiring needs doing to the property, however, the electrcial system is on the old fuse wire system. The electric meter looks old (the old clock system) and below it its connected to what looks like a single fuse (black rectangular thing). The way the system is set up is that from the ground comes the main electric wires, these connect into a black rectangular thing that looks like a fuse. These then connect into the meter and then go off into the wire fuses. Can anyone tell me how do I change this over onto a new CU? i.e. is the black rectanguar thing the main fuse? do I just get the wires than out of that and put into a CU?
I would really appreciate help on this.
Thanks
