Hi,
I re-wired my house in Oct 2014 and installed a Hager plastic split, dual RCD, 16 way consumer unit. I now want to convert the garage and planned on running a 6mm from a spare 40A MCB in the consumer unit to a metal clad 4 way consumer unit in the garage.
My questions are, will I then need to swap the 16 way split unit for a metal unit or will the 17th Edition Insulated board be OK to leave in? Also do I HAVE to mount the new metal 4 way board at around 1.35m in the converted garage or is this only a recommendation?
If I have to swap to consumer unit I may consider just extending the circuit that feeds the garage.
Thanks
