    Career Advice For Electrician to Designer

    Yep, not cheap at about £4k. I'm not sure how uni's can charge so much for a distance learning course. However the alternative is taking a day off every week.

    Code on eicr? help resolve an arguement

    Of course I understand the concerns raised however I'd of C3'd the socket outlets and perhaps an attached written letter strongly recommending the duty holder to improve the circuit. The school may have strict pat test routine or policy's on no minors using the sockets. Additionally, similarly...

    I took one for the team

    Unfortunately this is an all too common occurrence overseas. Usually kept quiet and brushed under the carpet by hotel owners and local media! Congratulations you've lived to tell the tale and you've done all you can by making the owner act on it.

    Do socket outlets in a Pub need to be RCD/RCBO protected!

    I'd agree with your QS and manager. On an ecir, C3 for non rcd protected sockets. Recommend improvement to the duty holder of the premise. They may already have a safe system to manage any risk if any, it's down to the duty holder to decide. C2 for non rcd protected sockets mounted externally...

    No RCD on entire installation

    Fair point. Thinking of options to keep cost at a minimum for client and maintain compliance. Utilise the other spare way in the cu, use 2 pole rcbo generally they're the same shape as an mcb? Bottom line is, an rcd is required unless a written risk assessment is provided.

    No RCD on entire installation

    I'd be looking to install rcbo's on the worked on circuits. Why do you say there is no room for this? Generally rcbo is only about 20mm longer than a mcb. Other than that, instruct the client to provide a specific written risk assessment for the omission of rcd/rcbo on socket outlets circuits...
