Today, Tuesday, we had our local professional electrician come around to upgrade our main Electricity Supply Board, first to install a fused cut-off switch immediately after the meter. The original installation ten years ago, the people who came, didn’t install a cut-off switch so we were left without the ability to shut off the Main supply to connect to house to the supply. For the last few years the house connection was routed via plug connected to the existing RCD Consumer Unit. So with the switch installed the wiring to the house was insulation tested and connected directly to the main supply.
So, our connection to our main house is now properly integrated into the main body of the Control Board and we can now look forward to installing our Solar Panels and Batteries, plus also our various water pumps and stair-lift motors without accidentally tripping the RCD for rest of the household.

He said that he can come back if we need him again, plus also, he would be willing to do further tests and inspections and issue a certificate for us to present to the Council building control inspectors.
