I'm new to domestic electrical work and need some advise please.
currently maintainenace engineer in a factory, doing this semi professionally.
1. Line and neutral from overhead wiring comes into house, live connects to CU via suppliers fuse and meter, neutral connects to connector block, on then onto meter , then CU. 16mm earth comes off connector and then connects to CU earthing strip. No RCD protection in CU. I think supply is PME but as it was overhead wires assumed TT. Went into cottage and found no 100mA rcd or rcd protection in CU. Am I right with PME?
2. CU is a Doepke, are there mcb's available for this CU? Have recommended the fitting of rcd to protect cottage sockets. Owner wants supply to garage , told him its notifiable and contact me when approved.
3 CU is in downstairs toilet with shower fitted, not within arms reach of shower. Is this ok, can't find anything in regs book.
Your input will be greatfully received, thanks in anticipation.
