Would you use an old CU to extend cables. Discussion ThreadWould you use an old CU to extend cables. Electrical Advice
I recently inspected a job in a 1960s-era apartment building. Three of the properties have old Wylex rewireable consumer units (CUs) with Pyro wiring.
To minimize damage to the 50-year-old Pyro, which passed testing, I propose the following approach:
1. Utilize the old CU as a junction box.
2. Remove the internal components and install a DIN rail.
3. Extend the cables using DIN rail connectors.
4. Construct a wooden support in front for the new consumer unit.
I welcome your thoughts and suggestions.
