    Niceic cert filling in on software programme

    Because I write the circuits underneath, then if there’s another rcd the other circuits are written under that one, Just how I do it, by no means am I suggesting that it’s the be all and end all of doing it, as long as the information is recorded.

    Niceic cert filling in on software programme

    I do record each circuit on each line but above I record the rccb, it’s rating, it’s I delta N etc then the circuits it protects underneath with its circuit number. One rcd, one trip time measurement, it’s just the way I do it, I used to do it that way before. If they are rcbos then there’s an...

    Niceic cert filling in on software programme

    I write the rccb in the circuit column if it’s a split load board, 61008, it’s current rating etc then I record only one rcd trip time measurement,I do not repeat the measurement to correspond to each circuit, for the column that covers 60898 devices I put N/A as it’s an mcb and not an rcbo.

    For when it askes for the BSEN number and if you have a combination of an AFDD and RCBO then write them both in the box 62606/61009

    EICR Code for metal light switches with earth to backbox

    I’d be more concerned with the exposed conductive parts exposed by removing the switch personally.

    EICR Code for metal light switches with earth to backbox

    All earth wires must be terminated to the back box. An example that not all MF’s instructions are the be all and end all. Pick shows the cpc from the cable not directly to the switch. This does however highlight that a fly lead is required

    Rcd is a generic term for a family of devices, rccb, rcbo etc.

    EICR Code for metal light switches with earth to backbox

    Class 1 exposed conductive parts require earthing, if it’s earthed In situ then it’s no code. best practice is to earth the plate directly however i dont see the issue if it’s earthed full stop by one way or another. The regulations will not tell you how to earth it other than it requires earthing.

    EICR Code for metal light switches with earth to backbox

    So you would also C3 sockets that don’t have a fly lead earthing the back box? If switches are loosened off then exposed conductive parts are the main issue, you can’t cover stupidity, in its normal service the switches are fixed back and earthed, no code

    EICR Code for metal light switches with earth to backbox

    If the switch was earthed through the back box and the R2 readings where low then I wouldn’t code them at all. I don’t code metal 3 phase DB covers that are earthed through the fixing screws after all.

    They already do, the current certificates allow for any boards, you just have to fill the information In correctly.

    Any sub boards within the installation and not at the origin would be the Zs of the distribution circuit (S).

    RCD/RCBO in an office refurbishment

    For clarity to the OP, to omit rcd protection to socket outlets in non domestic installations then a risk assessment is required as per bs7671 to which you are designed, installing and certifying to, the option to label a socket for specific use was removed in the 18th edition due to abuse of...

    EIC and EICR issues

    The EIC in this case relates to the CU change, nothing more so it cannot replace an EICR which covers the fixed installation unless otherwise stated on the extent of the installation covered by this report. A new build should have had initial verification before being put into service so should...

    What code? No RCD, outside lights

    It would be a C3 for me based on the lack of additional protection alone. The IP rating is a separate issue entirely.

    Testing and Inspection Over Current Protection

    For 3036 fuses you apply the correction factor 0.725. for example a cable Protected by a 15 amp 3036 fuse would need to carry 20 amps , if overload protection was required. @pc1966 explains it nicely.

    Eicr no CPC on lighting circuit

    Remember the rcd is for additional protection, the fact that is plastic or metal has no bearing, it is a requirement for domestic installations so should always be highlighted as a code, now if it’s metal and has no fault protection to it for ADS then it’s a C2, this would be a C2 even if an...

    Eicr no CPC on lighting circuit

    Circuits supplying luminaries in domestic installations require additional protection by an rcd, it’s irrelevant if the fitting is a pendant or not. It’s a C3 regardless of class of luminaries.
