[QUOTE="BarMoo, post: 249325, member: 175089"] Given the number of UPS's you already have, you might as well just hook them up [B]before [/B]the consumer unit, LOL. The easiest ropeiest method is to simply remove the lighting circuit cable from the breaker/fuse (the cable after the fuse) and leave it hanging there. Then connect the UPS MAINS IN to the vacant terminals on that fuse. Then feed the UPS MAINS OUT back to the existing (now dangling) lighting cable - using copious amounts of sellotape if necessary. If your Insurance Company pay a visit, just tell them you have a high-powered door-bell transformer and hope your house don't burn down.:-rofl2 :-rofl2 The only expense? - roll of sellotape, fake doorbell pusher, some old flat grey cable stuff. .
