    3 Phase Install

    If it's not been designed and just guest. Then you need to check the voltage drop on the cable . You will need various information to work this out including, max demand ,method of installation and length of run

    Zack values

    As above . 60947-3 are just switches so do not protect from fault current. You need to know the manufacturer and make of the 60947-2 mccbs . Then go on the manufacturers web site . Where some have tables showing you the max Zs and other tech data

    EICR coding twin and earth tails/riser

    EICR coding twin and earth tails/riser

    You ask or look at this installation certificate. If you do not have that information then I agree you have to use you own judgment .

    EICR coding twin and earth tails/riser

    Ok my reasoning is this. If the electrical installation was installed after a regulation that was brought in as an improvement to safety, that regulation was not adhered to and I feel the regulation does prevent a potential danger then I would code 2 it. So my coding is based more to do with a...

    Code 3 for cables buried less than 50mm in the wall . But if was design to the 17th addition or newer then I would and have given this observation a code 2

    Anyone still use round JBs ?

    I think they where round to help with design. You would turn the lid to select how many entry holes you required. I did have to use one the other day as the wholesaler did not have any hager Ashley MF in stock but plenty of the 30 amp ones

    EIC and EICR issues

    That's the problem with all electrical reports and certs, they are not easy for the layman to understand .all they know it has to say satisfactory on it. We could do with an official document in plain English that explains what paper work required for these scenarios. Then we can pass this to...

    EIC and EICR issues
