Re: CBus wiring and consumer unit

["Frank Mc Alinden" <fmcalind@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Martin
Not sure on the UK regs...
But i am currently help fit off an installation here in
Melbourne and the mains go to the meter box (with built in consumer unit)
on
an external wall and submains 16mm2 have be run in to the node 0 where
subboard (consumer units is installed along with all the cbus stuff....
Could the same be done in your install...put a small consumer unit in the
utility room and run submains to your node 0 consumer unit.....
