Making two properites into one

Rob Bain
Afternoon all,

An MOD client wishes to form one large property from two semi-detached properties, keeping both consumer units. I have looked through the latest BS 7671 for any glaring regs that are going to stop this from happening, and can only see the separation distance regulation that must be applied. Obviously am trying to persuade them that it would be better to have only one source of  supply into the property and hence only one consumer unit. Has anybody else come across this in their line of work and if so how did they get over it to maintain compliance with BS7671?


thanks in advance.

    Going on from the post by OMS, I did some reading up some years ago about two supply’s into what is effectively one installation and have it in mind that if a neutral current is likely to flow through the 16 mm linking the two main earth terminals in the two consumer units the ends should be over-sleeved in blue to indicate the presence of a neutral current in earth conductor.
