Hi all, my dad originally has a wall ac unit with a dedicated 10 amp plug wired to meterbox his house is 45 years old with old ceramic push in fuses AC i think was installed approx 40 years ago.
He just had a new Mits split system installed and the electrician has just extended original cable from what my dad has told me to supply the new unit.my questions are.
1) is it legal to extend a 40 year old cable?
2) Is this regarded as a new install and does it require a RCD/ breaker.
I dont understand why someone would put so much faith in a 40 year old cable when doing such an install.
Thanks Dean
