I am doing a new build and want to locate the suppliers cut-out and meter in the garage but have the consumer unit in the house. The distance from the Meter to the Consumer Unit (CU) is about 15M.
What I want to do is install a breaker on my side of the meter in the garage and run an armoured cable underground to the house and consumer unit. Is this permissible.
There is no indication in the On-site Guide although it does show the possibility of a main switch between the meter and the CU. I have also heard that there is a limit of 5M on 'tails' but again the On-site Guide does not mention this.
Thanks, Brian
