[QUOTE="DaveS79, post: 497751, member: 28820"] Hi All Still early days for me with going it alone and trying to do best to do all works in compliance with regs or don't do it at all. So would rather eat humble pie with lack or knowledge in some areas. Have been asked to potentially change this consumer unit. Got a few details on it and want to be clear on what I need to adhere to. This board is placed in a cellar in residential property and may be used by residents frequently. My main concern is consumer tails have no support at present. I would change these, would it also be a requirement to place these in trunking or is clipping to wall sufficient. As consumer talis less than 3 metres i dont see need for fused isolator switch. I would also clip and support main earthing conductor. The small board on left was added to accommodate shower I will do away with this and take in to new one. It's a 60 Amp TNS supply. I will use 16mm tails and 16mm earthing conductor and use 10mm for both gas and water bonding. The cables will be taken into top of consumer unit with use of compression glands and will clip and support these as best I can. Be interested to know others thoughts and if I'm not seeing anything else that needs considering. Cheers [ATTACH]10699._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
