I am going to replace two existing old "fuse box" consumer units (in the garage) with a new MK Sentry 12-way split load unit.
One of the existing fuse boxes is about 15 inches below the ceiling - but the other is about 3 inches below the ceiling and separated laterally from the other box by about 18 inches.
There is no slack in cables coming from the ceiling void.
The problem: I can fit the new CU close to the ceiling - distance governed by shortest cable going in to ceiling void - but it is going to be a bugger to work on.
Could I mount some sort of covered terminal blocks next to the ceiling (cables then going from terminal blocks straight in to ceiling void) with the terminal block(s) fed from CU.
I can see it will be a neat solution and easy to work on if it is permissible.
Any suggestions?
