Super deal meter

[carlsreef]

Sorry. Being a thick head. Got a super deal meter that was running a cu and seperate cu to storage heaters. main cu is fed from a 60amp main switch via the usual 100a main fuse to the meter and from the switch via 10mm cable. The load to the main cu is just in after diversity. Its a big old 5 bed house with one ring for sockets and one for lights so i have decided to not add any more load to the existing circuit and add a new cu as they are planning on adding an electric shower, higher rated cooker etc. Question is can i use the tails supplied for the storage heaters to run my new cu or should i henly block the main cu tails to it to save confusion on different tarriffs or tell them to ring elec co. and get them to change meter after i,ve done it anyway.

Cheers

Hi
I used to install these along with either water heating or storage heating , the tails you are talking about are off peak , there are 2 sets of off peak usually , ie the usual L-N input , then the N-L output ( general supply ) then the 2 Off peaks , usually 10mm2 feeds the Off peak Imm heater, then usually 25mm2 to the far right would be the storage heater supply , If you want to replace the genaral supply consumer unit you would not be connecting to the off peak , Obviously you would have to Henley/ splitter block the genaral supply output , not the off peak , unless you want to change the off peak unit!!
