    I have a 3 phase supply at home, I have a single phase sub DB for most of my domestic supply (this was going to be essential power DB if I got a battery with a small back up) The solar PV goes directly in to the Sigenergy battery inverter (outside) and this feeds the house I also have the...

    UK Help with a serious scenario involving DNO abuses, EICR's - ECO4

    You could (depending on where you are) have an inspection carried out by the ECA (I am in SELECT and they do an 'inspection and request' which is paid for and can be used as court evidence) Be careful- is your landlord vindictive?

    Issues re import export meter

    That looks untidy If it were my home I would replace the consumer unit and ask for the cable head to be replaced (bottom right) When the new unit is installed it would free more space, you will have full RCD protection (through RCBO's). At the same time you could have the existing generation...

    Pv EICR code

    I have noticed this on recent new builds around here With Hager you can buy a bit of bus bar and a neutral bar / link and make the consumer unit configurable, this will allow a bidirectional RCBO such as ADC920G - 20A https://hager.com/uk/products/h/adc920r-rcbo-1m-1p-n-6ka-c-20a-30ma-a

    Replacing consumer unit

    I use Hager, decent quality and has the bonus of (based on past experience) the parts made now fit the consumer units from years ago Last year I was able to replace a cooker circuit on a 1990's Hager board and install a new RCBO to bring the circuit up to todays standards The light transformer...

    3 phase submain showers

    If you are the designer YOU tell them what can be done (using max demand guidance / site specific info) If they over rule you have THEM specify what they would like YOU to do and make them aware that they will take responsability for any failings in design I would walk away of someone told me...

    3 phase submain showers

    I would suggest a water cylinder (possibly unvented) and an immerser. You can get 3 phase immersers which are better for the supply, they will have a quick recovery time. If you design it well then the cylinders will do all the showers plus the wash hand basin water as well. This will make the...

    My supplier says my meter is installed illegally, how do I rectify this?

    Remove the back of the cupboard(s) and install a panel that mounts on magnetic catches that can be removed by a simply tug after removing the shelf
