I have been asked to do a consumer unit change on a park home, 2x30amp 1x15amp 1x5amp, the supply form the meter is only 6mm, I am aware there are different regs in regards to theses installation. 6mm seems undersized, Is this acceptable?
 
Most sites Iv worked on restrict the supplies to the homes to 32amp incoming so 6mm is fine if that is correct ?
 
from what i have seen ( older sites), each home is supplied with a 6mm SWA, protected at source by a 40A MCB or fuse.

as has been said...you need to know what they are being given top end....
use your In of OPD top end as a giude...
 
you can apply diversity as well to finals...
dont forget the In of OPD on subs is dependant on Max. demand (with diversity)
OPDs protect the cable...
