    IR method 2

    Hi guys, What plug in equipment, if any would show a dead short when doing an ir test? I have the line and neutral connected together and testing between that and the earth bar. The circuit was energised and working fine on arrival (doing an eicr) so it cant be an actual dead short or the mcb...

    Eicr code - db is dirty

    A pic of the entire db so you can all get the full picture. The cables at the top have been crushed by the board cover, no major damage yet, but its only a matter of time. The top and bottom entry holes have no form of gromit, the main switch is upside down, getting to the neutral and earth...

    Eicr code - db is dirty

    You are right, ive noted it as a c3 as the db was suitable for the environment untill is was damaged allowing grime to get in, though i think i may change it to a c2 otherwise they wont bother fixing it

    Eicr code - db is dirty

    I did check, and it was definatly live, i have now disconnected it from the dp isolator. Volt sticks are good for indication, but i wouldnt bet my life on them Cheers, Tim

    Eicr code - db is dirty

    Ill agree with the concensus that im being pedantic, ill include it in the code for the broken door hinge. Cheers guys, Tim On a side note, look what i found above the sink. Code 1 i think. (I will fix this on site obviously) And no dissing the voltage detector, they have their uses...

    Eicr code - db is dirty

    Hi guys, Im doing an eicr on an events building, the db is in the main kitchen, however dirt and grime havegot into the db. Would you code it? Im thinking c3 as there is no sign of danger but improvements could be made. Or am i being too picky. The cause of the grime getting in is the fact...

    Submain with no isolation

    I could not find a reg that said if the submain run is less than 3m it does not need OCP. So that is definatly going in the report with a recommendation to upgrade the db isolator to an OCPD as you said. A picture through the gap, unless im very mush mistaken, these are not 315a bs88's...

    Submain with no isolation

    Untill i can open the isolator i cant confirm 100% if or what OCPD is protecting the busbar. Im hoping i can get in at the weekend to check, from what little i can see though there are just 1" by 1/4" links, so only an isolator. The previous periodic says that there are 315a bs88 fuses in the...

    Submain with no isolation

    I hope you can see the picture. 2 of the 3 armoured cables on the right feed the DBs mentioned the 3rd feeds an isolator for a seperate db in the cupboard. The main isolator at the bottom is only an isolator, no fuses as far as i can see, i cant fully open it though. Tim

    Submain with no isolation

    I cant fully open the isolator without turning off the entire building, from what i can see by undoing the screws and peering in to the 315a main isolator they are only links, no fuses. Ill go take a pic of the intake layout.
