Hi Everyone
Looking for you knowledgeable people to help me out with question about the routing of sub-mains.
UKPowerNetworks are soon to install a new 3-phase supply to an external meter box. This will supply two separately owned maisonettes (shared Freehold) - one on ground floor and the other directly above from switched fuses with SWA to the individual CU's.
Whilst the electrician is on holiday the builders are ready to run the SWA through the ground floor void to the new CU location and around the external walls to the upstairs maisonette ready for connection (under ground is not an option).
Having seen the size of the SWA cable and the number of 90 degree turns to be negotiated for the upstairs maisonette it will be really difficult as well as unsightly.
By far the easiest solution would be to run both sub-mains through the ground floor void and run one cable straight up an internal wall to the upstairs maisonette.
As owner of the downstairs maisonette I am happy for this to go ahead and whilst not ideal are there any regulations preventing this from happening?
Thanks in advance
Martin
