[QUOTE="JodieS, post: 552484, member: 37689"] Hi everyone I got the spare keys to the neighbour's flat and tested everything last night, turning on one fuse switch at a time then checking whether the associated CUs were energised or not with a no-contact tester. As expected, "my" off-peak fuse switch only energises the neighbour's off-peak CU, and vice-versa. The peak circuits are all correct. So either the fuse switches are labelled the wrong way around, or the black concentric cables that run between the switches and the CUs have been crossed over. I think probably the latter, as if the switches were labelled incorrectly then from right to left they would go 13, 14, [B]16, 15,[/B] 17, 18 (i.e. out of sequence) which would be odd, plus the peak switches below them are correct. My electrician has said he's not technically allowed to swap the black cables over without involving the metering companies. What do you guys think? [/QUOTE]
