[QUOTE="Bart V, post: 330912, member: 22953"] Thanks for the responses. ProDave - As you can no doubt imagine the course is limited in what it teaches you about real world situations. Beyond standard colours and British Standards you don't get much in the way of old wiring systems and how to deal with them S or customers. You get directions on how to pass the exams first and foremost. Though to be fair to the tutors I've had they do try to give as much practical advice in the short time they get with you as they can, but the main bulk of the course is so you pass the exam, whether you understand how you have done it or not. I've made a real effort to try to understand everything I have done so far, but got stumped on this because I haven't really geared myself up for this aspect of it, thinking this is the sort of stuff that comes with experience. Going back to the question, with the spec provided they do elaborate. I didn't want to type it all out here as the post would have been even longer. Basically it is an old consumer unit with rewireable fuses that are to be replaced with type B BS EN 60898 fuses and the extension will be fed from 2 free ways in the existing consumer unit. There is no mention of earth bonding. [/QUOTE]
