How do I record Siemens Box No. 22465A on installation Cert.

[Dave1982]

I will be installing a new Ring main for a kitchen install and have come across a cut-out that is totally new to me.
Has anyone seen one of these..and how do I record its details on my Certificate.

add 1 zillion dollars for shipping frm US.

For a Ring Main he'd need at least something as big as that, and how big is this kitchen that needs a ring main fitting?
Must be huge.

Or, the part number could be wrong, and it is actually a ring final circuit that is going in?

Apologies. I refer to the main cable supply protection entering a domestic property. This houses the main fuse from which the supply tails then enter the meter. Have no photo yet but will get one.

If you are referring to the supply protective device, then for a domestic supply, it is usually, but not always, a BS1361. Could be a type IIb, but unless it is marked on the casing, then you either ring up the DNO, ask them if they know (unlikely), or put down N/A or unknown.

You will be installing a 'ring final circuit', not a 'ring main'.
Google it, and see what the difference is.

I've installed a few 630A split ring mains. They weren't in a ruddy kitchen.

Go to SpecSavers first, then go and have another look.

 

[Dave1982]

Ok guys thanks for correction. Serves me right for going on Plumbers forum last night.

 

[Octopus]

Have you got another picture with more of the stuff around showing?

 

[guest119]

On the red phase?
Rewirable fuse?

[Knobhead]

Most likely 60A rewirable going on the size. Wouldn't be surpised if it isn't a fused neutral. Thats an old DC head.

Get the DNO involved.

As Tony said above, inform the DNO to inform them that it is an old metal cut-out which requires changing (at their cost).

 

[Dave1982]

Thanks very much guys will do that asap.

[GLENNSPARK]
