Travels in domestic land:
Changing a communal space consumer unit in this job: not much space to get a new consumer unit in. Modern units are larger than the tiny little Wylex unit with its BS3036 rewireables. Inevitably when you pop the cover there are multiple circuits stuffed into single fuses, meaning extra space. So, a simple CU change? Nope.
First job was move the door entry gear up besides the old switch fuses. Then I want to introduce separate isolator so the communal board can be isolated without going into the DNO’s service head, which I had to do on this occasion. Managed to use a 50mm bush and cut down coupler to bolt the switch isolator to the CU enclosure. Then rewired with new tails throughout, stabbed the circuits in and switched it back on. Will be returning to test. Took bloody ages but a good result 👍
