Dean,
Many thanks for your response.
I have know been told by the Electrical wholesaler I use that if I use a
100A MCB Isolator I don't need the armoured cable and that I can use
standard cables?
Also am I allowed to place the MCB in a lockable enclosure such that
someone
without authorization cannot switch my power off?
Many thanks in advance for your reply
Paul

Yes you are correct with all that you say, except for one BIG thing...
You will need to supply and install a 100amp MCB isolator or switch fuse
isolator at the meter position to protect the armoured cable, as you will
be
creating a submain installation.
The electricity board's fuse will protect just the meter tails that will
still be there.
Dean.
