400v 3P Disboard Distance from Belfast sink

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!

    Here’s the little beauty in North Wales, I assume it got wet and the right hand RCD failed, so someone replaced the Wylex RCD with the Contactum RCD, then that failed and everything was moved onto the left hand RCD away from the drips.

    Recommendation being replace the kitchen work top and refurbish the consumer unit with new devices or relocate and replace the consumer unit.

    There is definitely not a second digit to the IP rating code.
