- Looking at page 4 of formatting linkwhat do R/S and C/S indicate?
- Boiler isolator: Also on that diagram, the boiler has two switched lives (so it can run DHW at a higher flow temp). So I can't provide a normal boiler isolation switch. All I can think of doing is to put the heating FCU by the boiler (I'd rather put it in the airing cupboard, but I suspect Mr Boiler will complain) and make it a lockable one. This is a pain, because it would be much easier for me to simply run a 5 core from the airing cupboard to the boiler, than to additionally run a t+e (or two, if I want to put it on its own circuit rather than spur it off the kitchen). But I can't think of any other possibilities.
- Running a submain to an outbuilding. The guy who will be signing off the work for the BCO wants me to TT it because there's a water pipe. I'd rather export the TN-S earth the grand distance of 1 metre, and do it in 3 core 10mm, but if he wants it TT-ed, I suppose he's going to get it. Does let me use 6mm 2-core, at least (the submain has a switch fuse at 60A, and 6mm is good for 62 - it's XLPE before you shout). I need to use a metal CU at the outbuilding, because it's essentially residential. So how do I terminate SWA but not bring the earth in? Looks like I could use a 20mm gland, and then a Wiska 25mm to 20mm reducer, but there must be a more general solution than that? Could use a terminal box outside, and then T&E through the wall - but I'm hoisted on my own petard, because Wiska boxes stop at 57A, and I'm fused at 60A.
- Rant. When I've finished all this, I shall write up all the horrible things that were done to the wiring in this house. 70m of external cable done in 2.5mm T&E buried a couple of inches under the grass. That sort of thing.
