Talk:Changing a consumer unit

John, you could use Template:Under-construction instead of rolling your own (if it says what you want) - like so:

Oh yes, that will do nicely... (just copied the one I had from a previous article).

Do we have a list of templates available for use (or is that the only one)?

More needed

Still a fair bit of work to do. NT 05:37, 27 January 2008 (GMT)

Yup, got distracted by Christmas etc and have not had chance to come back to it (well that and I forgot about it!)

Reasons to change section

Good to see it all written.

One point I picked up on, from a quick scan it looks like the reasons to change section is a mixture of comparisons between new and old CU, and fuse vs mcb. I think it would be debateable to assume that old CUs always have fuses, or that new ones always use MCBs. In the case of new units, yes mcbs are the fashion, but there are valid reasons for using fuses too, primarily on lighting circuits, and they're still available from wholesalers because people are still fitting them.

And of course changing fuse to mcb and changing CU are 2 different things, the former can be done without the latter etc. Must run. NT 12:23, 27 March 2008 (GMT)
