Moving a CU

If I’m asked to move a CU and it’s not to currents regs, am I correct in thinking I need to change the CU?

  • I assume it is plastic? If so then it might be wise unless the old one is nearly new. How far are you moving it, is it an inch to two or some distance? Remember the limitations on tails length, and extending all the circuits need to be done properly, you will need a fair-sized box so that future work is not difficult. An EICR before you start would be wise, and it is worth thinking about surge protection, but probably not AFDDs. All circuits when you have finished should meet the 18th Amdt. 1.
