    spd in meter box?

    Client needs an SPD fitting but no room in c/u or adjacent. Best bet looks like a parallel connection into the tail blocks in the meter cabinet with an adjacent 'standalone unit' ie with overcurrent protection. Anybody done this? Any reason I shouldn't? Is it ok to use board PEN connection...

    What is this box to the left of my electrical meter?

    Hi all, Very much a novice when it comes to electrics. Anyway, we're getting an EV chargepoint installed, but before we do, I was wondering what exactly is the small box to the left of the electric meter in this picture?

    EV chargers installed direct to meter box - is it really wrong?

    On another forum for general EV chat this question comes up all the time. It's very common to install a charger taking the supply direct from the meter box via a secondary box and suitable protection installed within the meter box.

    Gas meter 'vs' SWA cable proximity

    Hi Guys Would I be correct in thinking an electric cable can be as close as 25mm to a gas meter ? (not that I'd ever be that close out of choice) Or is it the 150mm reg as with proximity to consumer units, sockets, accessories... Had a quick scan in my on-site guide but not so clear - been a...
