Hi, I am going to be visiting a friend of a friends house shortly to replace there CU (old fuse wire type) with a new CU.
My question is shall I replae it now with what will be the 17th edition style (all circuits basically connected to RCD) or is it still acceptable to replace with a normal split load, even tho the 17th will be coming into force this year. JUst thinking for future re-wiring, as guess if it is still on fuse wire then they will need to be fully re-wired soon.
Also, is there any suggestions, documentation on which circuit will go on what for the 17th edition style. Obviously trying to keep lighting circuits, power circuits of rooms next to one another on seperate sides. this way if one trips off you can still get light - power into the other room
Many Thanks
