    Dual board with no earth on final circuits

    :D:D:D If I end up changing the board I will remove all the metal switches and replace with Plastic while he’s not looking. Like I say though, for arguments sake, the rcd will still protect against this? Only problem being I can’t really test the theory out without an earth?

    Lovely stuff! So as long as I make a note of it on the doc and the ---- pile of other stuff I’m sure to find, my --- is covered?

    Dual board with no earth on final circuits

    Up stairs lighting maybe wouldn’t be too much of an issue but downstairs means floorboards up and they won’t have it

    Dual board with no earth on final circuits

    So In terms of the functionality of the rcds, you can’t see this being an issue? I would assume that if any exposed/extraneous conductive parts do become live and someone touches them and creates a fault path, that the rcd will pick up on this imbalance regardless?

    :D:D I told my father this before he went ahead and put all new metal switches on the whole of downstairs because they “look nicer”. Head + brick wall!

    Anyone got any ideas on why there would be 3 phase going into a 3 bed house?

    I’ve been telling them this for over 10 years to no avail. They don’t want the mess which is understandable. They are both in their 60s so I can’t see them ever having it done.

    My parents have lived there for nearly 40 years so I’d say your guess could be pretty spot on

    Dual board with no earth on final circuits

    Thanks for the advice big spark but I wasn’t looking into changing a fuseboard I was round my parents house for dinner and my dad threw it on me while I was there. I decided I’d have a VERY QUICK look while I was there and do some more digging when I have the time.

    :D:D I’ll take some when I’m next there and get them over to you and yes maybe I should go for a job in boris cabinet ( not literally )

    And if I remember correctly I changed a couple of lights over for them years ago and there was no earth at the ceiling rose either

    Thanks Matt. Maybe I should have done a bit more digging before posting. I was clearly feeling lazy

    One thing I did notice is there were 3 supply cables coming in but why would this be in a 3 bedroom house? A little over the top don’t you think?

    Dual board with no earth on final circuits

    Appreciate the speedy replies. I’ve not done any in depth research as yet, I just had a quick check of a 2 light switches while I was round there this evening having dinner. I will have to have a more in depth look now. Just thought I’d get some opinions on it before I did. I didn’t look for...

    Dual board with no earth on final circuits

    Hi guys. Need to change the fuseboard at my parents house but none of their final circuits have a cpc run to them. Obviously have an earth on the main incoming so I can get a 16mm earthing conductor up to my new 18th edition metallic consumer unit but they don’t want a rewire so none of the...

    NICEIC Certification Scheme Tips for my first niceic inspection

    Has anyone got any recommendations on a decent yet not too expensive proving unit and voltage indicator?

    NICEIC Certification Scheme Tips for my first niceic inspection

    Thanks. I’ll get myself a new voltage detector and proving unit then. What with all the new 18th edition books I’ve bought, the 18th edition course I’ve booked and the niceic subscription and initial assessment costs, this is proving to be a rather costly experience. I hope it’s worth it
