[QUOTE="Wols1991, post: 464843, member: 30226"] Evening guys, I was hopping for some advice..... I am needing to fit a new Consumer unit (which will host an RCCB and 32amp MCB for an electric car charge point) - preferably in the existing meter cupboard..... I am thinking of using a Henley block. Splitting the meter tails into either two single pole Henley Blocks (one for L & one for N) or just a double pole (one row for L the other row for N) Q1. Should I split the existing meter tails? Q2. Single pole or double pole Henley Block? If i don't split the meter tails, how can I go about it? Do I take the meter tails from the meter and install into the Henley Blocks then two new meter tails back into the meter, joined into the same Henley Blocks? Q3. In regards to the earth, I'm thinking of fitting a 4 way earth block, again, should I split the existing earth into the block and add another earth from the block to the new Consumer unit. Or should I just remove the earth from the fuse and install into a block and then add another earth from the block back into the fuse? Please find image below.
