Hi,
Scenario:
Electric meter and fuse box (no consumer unit) in Flat 1 basement. We own Flat 2 (on the first floor) and have no access to Flat 1.
Our proposed solution: We would like to install a modern consumer unit off the meter and have that located in the communal area of the flats. Electrical wire from consumer unit straight up the wall and into Flat 2.
Question: What is the maximum permitted distance between meter and consumer unit?
We understand it is up to the local suppliers but this feels unsatisfactory.
I hope you can help.
Helen
