Hi Folks,
I'm currently doing a full re-wire to the Mother-in-Law's bungalow which she has just bought. The bungalow was built around 1960's so needs a complete over-haul with both electrics and other building works.
The earthing system is TT.
Currently, the supply meter is indoors in the same cupboard with the Old Consumer Unit. The supply meter is being re-located to a flush mounted external meter box.
Due to the meter being re-located outdoors the distance between the Meter and the new Consumer Unit is now aroung 7 Metres. My question is - what will be the best practice to protect the the cables supplying the consumer unit? Should I install a Switched Fused as in in link below to protect the cables from overload or is both a Time Delay 100mA RCD (as per second link) and Switch Fuse required?
100A Mains Switched Fused c/w 80A & 100A fuses
100 Amp 100mA Time Delayed RCD 2 Pole - Wylex
Much Appreciated for your help Guy's.
