I visited a customer that has a holiday chalet and has owned it for about 13 years. The electric shower had previously been connected prior to the meter. A smart meter installer noticed this and disconnected the shower circuit. I have not heard if any legal action will be taken against the chalet owner. I reconnedted the shower circuit today, it is 30mA protected in a “garage unit.”
The main consumer unit is an old Crabtree C50 type with a separate upstream Crabtree L60 500mA current operated earth leakage circuit breaker which still works fine. The earthing arrangement is TT.
The owner did not allow me to renew the E.L.C.B. with a 30mA R.C.D.
A short sighted view I feel. After renewing the tails and installing Henley blocks will I be liable for any future problems?
