upgrade meter tails, or downgrade main incoming fuse??

[SLSpark]

the main fuse may be 80-100amp i would upgrade the tails to 25mm the fuse is nothing to do with you but as you are upgrading the system why not upgrade the main tails as its fairly cheap to do so £10 max material , disconnecting them from old board anyway .
i always upgrade to 25mm tails and 16mm earth incoming

So do you always cut the seals on the meter then?

 

[SLSpark]

consumers isolation switch is 30cm max from main fuse murdoch.

if there isnt a isolation point the electricity supplier will gladly fit this for £85 allowing the electrician to carry our his work without cutting seals or pulling fuse.

i could easily re seal using my sealing plyers and SP seals as i am authorised contractor

And all your customers are happy to pay this?

all my customers appreciate my good quality work,knowledge and professionalism so my advice is golden to them its not much of a hassle to have this done actually can benifit in future , they are there for a reason thats why every new build will have L in and out of switch and nuetral in & out

I wonder what it will do to the copper prices if/when everyone has tails (and cables ?) 50% larger than necessary.

 

[SLSpark]

:s every new property has this as standard so copper prices are not the issue , the guys asked for advice put in 25mm and allow for growth of the electrical system

Interestingly most products being bought now can be "greener" so when will the time come when we have to rip out 25mm tails and go around fitting 60A fuses!


LOL

For someone with only 52 post and no thanks I think you need to adapt your approach if you're to remain on this forum. Step over the line and the mods will throw you off.
