I have been advised to ask on this NewsGroup so here goes.
Been having an argument with a friend just lately over consumer units, or rather the placing fuses, yes I know modern day it's circuit breakers but principal is the same, within.
I was always told that next to the main switch, you start with the lower current, lighting circuits (6A) building to the larger Shower/Cooker circuits (32A) being farthest away. This is so that if the lights went out, you would be able to find lighting fuse in the dark.
Friends says higher current first next to switch.
Is there a rule for this or is it just personal preference.
