Hi All,
This is a new one on me but I have been asked to fit a consumer unit upstairs in a house and the tails will need to run just over 6 meters to the location where the meter is. Its a TN-C-S supply. Its going to be a split tails job with the new consumer unit supplying dedicated server and network equipment.
I remember a few years back it was a requirement to fit an isoaltor with intergral fuse (usally 80a hrc) to protect the tails if anything went wrong. I have not heard anything since and regually go to installs and see 4 meter tails that dont have an isoaltor with intergral fuse and this is in new house installs where the TN-C-S supply comes in at the side of a garage and goes accross the garage roof into the house, where the garage is joined to the house.
Nothing in the 16th edition about this.
Any one know if I can run tails this lenght without an isolator or do I need to find an isolator.
The cables will be mechnically protected using capping in the wall chase up into the floor upstairs then accross with corercley placed holes drilled in the joists. Then it comes up in some large ducting to a low down consumer unit in dedicated location for the network equipment. The cable will be fully protected against accidental cuts etc.
