Electrical Myth busting!

[pencilpusher]

First of all, Happy New Year to everyone...................

Now, having had a thread attract a scaremongerer this week about the "myth" of extending a PME suppy to an outbuilding, I am very interested to hear about electrical myths others have heard of and would like to share. (This is a serious thread to collate myths about electrical can and cannot do's - no other myths are welcome!) Maybe we could compile a list of the top ten electrical myths at the end.

I will start then - You cannot export (extend) a TNCS supply to an outbuilding ..........or else!

Over to you.......................

That's logical, and is why you don't install the ccu at the top of the stairwell

Ah so that's the reason!

Why would you fit a CCU on the first floor?

Precisely, I didn't !

But for any fool that thinks its a good idea to stick it up at the top of the stairwell. Would need to be able to walk on stilts, or water..

Having said that I often see DBs in domestic properties fed from overhead TT systems having their intake on the first floor...
But that wasn't the gist...was it?
