Hi all,
I'm hoping some of the electricty regs gurus can help with advice on meter tails.
Shortly I will be beginning an extension which forces a move of electricity meter. I have all of the info about getting the meter moved and where it can be located, but I cannot find any information about the meter tails. What I need to know is the maximum length allowed and what is / isn't acceptable for the routing of them.
My ideal position of the meter is not accepatable due to water pipes on the other side of the wall within 30cms of the meter so I have to go to plan B. Is it acceptable to run the tails vertically through the cavity into the ceiling void, horizontally for approximately 2 meters and then out of the ceiling void into the consumer unit?
Regards,
