[QUOTE="WhitleyElectrical08, post: 132852, member: 9565"] Hi all, I am currently wiring a new build electrical dwelling consisting of standard domestic circuits ie......up/down ring mains up/down lighting etc.... the issue is the architect is adamant the consumer unit has to be in the store cupboard which is approx 12 metres away from the external metering box outside! Which there fore creates a new sub-main so to be compliant with bs7671 does this need to be rcd protected.....does this need to be time delayed type. Its just a grey area i have never dealt with before and i am going to speak to napits tech support line tomorrow, but i was just wondering if any of you guys have dealt with this before? Cheers James [/QUOTE]
