Hi,
I am in the process of buying a new house (new build), and of course checked out the electrical supply.
The gas and water both have what looks like a 6mm bond on a supply clearly marked PME. I would expect that the gas and water are both plastic to the point of entry.
I have also noticed that the consumer unit has a mixture of type B and type C MCBs.
Kitchen ring = 32A C
Down sockets 1 = 20A B
Down sockets 2 = 20A C
First sockets = 20A B
Down lights = C10
Up lights = C10
All RCBOs.
I know there is nothing inherently wrong with type C in domestic, as long as the ZS is within limits, but I haven’t seen this done before.
Any suggestions or feedback?
Obviously I haven’t been able to strip the system back and see how it’s been installed, quality etc, but the water/gas bond has thrown me a bit. The vendor said it’s been signed off by a contractor. The install does look very tidy.
Thank you.
