Assume a scenario where everything else in a domestic property is satisfactory but with the following exceptions -
Consumer unit is plastic but not in an escape route.
Consumer unit is MK 16th ed split load, with single RCD protection on one side but with the mcbs replaced by RCBOs for all circuits on the other side.
No surge protection present, and all other devices function correctly.
Tails are 16mm but there a 60A fuse in the cut out - verified during a meter change recently.
So, what, if any coding should be applied? I am at a complete loss to fail it in any respect.
A plastic consumer unit, C3. No big deal if it is undamaged. There must still be millions in use. We do not seem to have heard of many, or any, plastic consumer unit fires recently. I wonder why?
