Discuss Consumer board location next to a garage door in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
ideal I was just a bit concerned with the distance with possible water when door is opened. Thanks for the reply ?there's nothing in the regs. to say. however, i'd make sure that the CU was accessible with the door open. sometimes with an up and over door, you can't get at the CU when door is open.
Hi - this is a genuine concern and it’s up to the responsible person to ensure the installation design and then the materials selected are in sympathy. If the Consumer Unit is just the standard item then it must not be exposed to moisture. If that means a metre setback from the door or 3 metres it’s up to the detail of the site. That’s why there’s often no specific distances except in some Special Locations.ideal I was just a bit concerned with the distance with possible water when door is opened. Thanks for the reply ?
