Hi,
I need some advice re fitting a second consumer unit.
I have just built a new extension, kitchen & bedroom with en-suite. My intention is to install a new 8-way consumer unit to supply the neccessary circuits. My current set up is meter to 63A RCD then tails to the consumer unit. Where should I connect my cable for the new consumer unit, the new consumer unit will be about 8m cable run from the first & meter. I cannot connect to the in terminals of the consumer unit as there is no room. Is it acceptable to connect to the out terminals of the RCD, what cable should I use, I thought 10mm T&E with the earth to the main PME terminal block? or do I have to use tails and a seperate earth cable?
Thanks
