" we had to snip the main 100A FUSE security tab to get it out. "
No, you did not, the last owners of the house must have done it!!

Now we are getting more information! When you say you recently changed the board, I am assuming that you carried out all the necessary testing ie. loop impedance, R1+R2, Ze, Insulation, RCD times etc of each circuit as you went? How experienced are you as this is not normally a recommended DIY job and can you be sure you have carried it out correctly? A faulty meter is less likely than a fault introduced fitting a new CU without proper testing.

Don't know about anyone else on here but I can think of hundreds of ways of introducing a fault when changing a CU if done badly!!ban-all-sheds said:But introducing a fault simply by changing a CU? How so?
Surely you do mean the tops of the MCB's dazzler??dazzlerpalmer said:It is a split board. All the lives (reds) are going into the bottoms of the MCBs, the neutrals (blacks) are in the appropriate N blocks.

Hundreds! Blimey...Don't know about anyone else on here but I can think of hundreds of ways of introducing a fault when changing a CU if done badly!!ban-all-sheds said:But introducing a fault simply by changing a CU? How so?
Unless this is his board:Possibly...

OK - come on then - let's have your list of hundreds of faults that you could introduce downstream of a CU by simply replacing a CU.BJS_Spark said:Surely the point is you only need to introduce one minor fault to create a dangerous installation, which on a job like changing a CU is more likely to effect the installation as a whole.
