Refusing Upgrade.

Zoomup

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?

    My first car was a Morris Minor (1956 vintage). The guy I bought it from thought I would just use it locally on the private mine roads where I worked in South Africa. I drove it all the way from Namaqualand to Cape Town and back (~800 miles). Had I known only one brake cylinder was operational and the hand brake not useable on hill more than about 1:40 I may have reconsidered such a journey.?. I was young and inexperienced but soon learnt a lot about car mechanics, grinding valve seats etc. I did too good a job on the engine ( brakes cyclinder seals all replaced by then) and managed to shear the crankshaft going 70mph. Fortunately no harm done to me and my next car was a year old ex rental Mazda 323 which managed superbly on 1000s of kilometres of rutted dirt roads of Southern Africa. Older and hopefully wiser now although my MTB riding might suggest otherwise. Cheers Andy
