Connecting Multiple Bemco/Ryefield Boards

GHEC
Ok I have a new build project where one Bemco/Ryefield board is not large enough to cover all apartments. 


I will need to install 3 to cover the number of outgoing ways required.


My questions is this. Given that there is one incoming bulk supply, what options are there to split it between the three? I know Lucy do an MSDB with a vertical busbar. Would the DNO accept daisy chaining these together? Or should we use a busbar chamber and tap-off to each board?


Any advice would be gratefully received.

    Not in UKPN land since they disowned the un-metered network inside the building.


    No metering before the panel board, or on smaller installations a Ryfield board. Just done a design for a small block of flats. Supply head to main isolator to Ryfield to supply 6 flats. and a landlords DB. No meter before Ryfield.


    Bigger installs say to 5 blocks of flats supply from transformer to panel board with MCCBs. MCCBs un-metered supply to Ryfields in each block via underground cabling. One supply for tenant's supplies then a separate  supply for landlords metered in each block. Separate primary metered supply to LSS MCCB panel in different location.
