400v 3P Disboard Distance from Belfast sink

Former Community Member
Former Community Member

Hello all,

Just had a sprinkler valve set incorrectly installed too far to the right on site that prevents a sink being installed to the right of the sprinkler valveset. As such, the solution would be to install the sink to the left of the valveset but this now puts the sink within the proximity of a 400v 3P disboard. Does anyone know the minimum distance that is required to be between the two? We are considering installing a partition to ensure safety however I would like to know what the regulations actually require. Any assistance would be appreciated as i predominantly have a mechanical background. Thanks in advance!

    I drove up to North Wales and did a job, when I got home I wrote a letter with recommendations for improvements one of which was to do something about the consumer unit in the kitchen cupboard next to the sink which had obviously been water damaged at different times. A few weeks later I had a phone call from an electrician who lives up there because he had gone to look at the installation and was reading my letter, we talked through the recommendations I had made and why, then he told me he was also an Electrical Lecturer at a local college in North Wales.

    Consumer units and distribution boards definitely are not  water resistant, as we can both tell you.
