When I've completed the modifications to the electrics as follows: Split Kitchen off onto it's own ring main + additional sockets Additional sockets on rest of house ring main Seperate feed for CH boiler Install Elect cooker point Interconnected mains powered smoke detectors Update equi-potential bonding New consumer unit.
So now I have all the new wiring connected to a consumer unit that has no power to it. Existing wiring (lighting and ring main) connected to old consumer unit with circa 10mm tails connected into Meter.
Can someone tell me the preferred way in which to manage the change over ? Need old tails dropping out of Meter and new tails from new consumer unit connecting to Meter Need to have main Earth connection from Consumer unit coonecting to incomming cable sheath. Do I just the Elect supplier to send a man and what paper work will they expect before responding (if any) or what paper work (if any) will the man require.
Should I move the circuits from the old consumer unit to the new before whoever comes to move the tails ? What other pre-requisites do I need to have completed.
thanks in advance Andy
