Hi, was looking for some advice please,
I have just been at a flat where the supply enters on the downstairs stairwell and this is where cut out and meter are sited,along with a redundant storage heaters consumers unit which I will remove. Also here is a 60amp switch fuse which supplies the domestic consumers unit for the lights and sockets etc. all this seems fine to me as the switch fuse is supplied by 16mm tails however the supply cable from here up to the consumers unit upstairs is wired in a what looks like 16mm 3 core swa cable but isn't swa and has stranded earth and neutral cores.phase is definitely 16mm tho. Wondered if this is acceptable ? It looks like what i wiuld describe as a scottish power ir dno supplier type cable.
The run is approx 15m inside a wall and in loft space. No rcd protection currently. The cable terminates into Henley blocks at the consumers unit end then tails to the board.
Advice appreciated.
