    Fuseboard relocation....re-test required?

    The difference in quote costs isn't an issue, as I know i've pretty much got the job(if I want it), but i'm just after a realistic answer as to weather or not i NEED to test the whole installation as the customer wants a very detailed quote eg. work involved and exact costs. I have spoken to the...

    Fuseboard relocation....re-test required?

    Correct spinlondon!!! Just need to know if I should test whole installation again? Can't see the point personally as I havn't actually touched the "installation", it is all still as it was 1 month ago when EIC issued. Only change on cert would be "location of Consumer Unit".

    Fuseboard relocation....re-test required?

    Ok guys, to answer a few questions....main tails are buried >50 mm in partition wall, 100A DP isolator in meter cabinet, ALL cables including tails dropping down partition. Also I am not replacing CU, just moving it and NOT altering any circuits as length will be exactly same simply re routing...

    Unable to find earth rod when doing EICR

    Fair enough a tick box for confirmation of continuity. But can you confirm continuity without disconnecting and doing an R2 to prove its not broken? If I can't see it to remove it, then I can't confirm, therefore I give it a code FI. Or am I being too harsh?

    Unable to find earth rod when doing EICR

    Personally I would FI any bonding incoming gas/water pipes if connection not visible/accessible to be able to remove and get an R2 to confirm. Otherwise what's to say the 10mm from board is connected to the pipe at all? and that your reading on the pipe isn't just a parallel path that hasn't...

    Unable to find earth rod when doing EICR

    This is true Essex, but we can normally check what's on the end of the cable right?

    Unable to find earth rod when doing EICR

    Would have to agree with wirepuller's comments. Could be anything on the end of that earth cable.....or nothing!

    Fuseboard relocation....re-test required?

    Hi telectrix, My thoughts exactly, but are you saying issue new cert giving basic details and leaving rest blank, or just test for own peace of mind, no cert?

    Testing a new garage suppy

    I would issue new cert containing 2 boards. The first cert...all original circuits marked as "not tested (or whatever your dropdown list contains) and new circuit as "sub-Main to Garage" with results as applicable. 2nd cert containing all garage circuit details/results.

    Garage/Workshop Supply

    Suppose it comes down to cost. 10mm would obviously give a greater supply (up to 60A depending on factors) but does he need that much? 6mm would be cheaper, easier to work with and would still give over 40A supply. As for board/circuits, in that situation I would go for radials with individual...

    What EICR code for plastic trunking in escape routes?

    Thanks guys. Think I will take Ians advice and C2 the 'bulky' concentrations and C3 the odd little ones. Then if Landlord agrees (and pays) I will secure the worst with stainless ties and bases inside the trunking as Adam suggests. Cheers!

    What EICR code for plastic trunking in escape routes?

    No cables are exposed as all are contained within trunking throughout the installation. So you guys are saying I give it a C3 ? Im assuming that just applies to the escape routes (stairwells/corridoors etc) as per 521.11.201 and no coding for trunking across ceilings in all rooms.

    New trainee. Is 4 month training realistic to get qualified?

    I've been in this game for 24 years, not much i havn't covered yet new systems and regs coming out all the time! Even IF you could get a piece of paper saying your an electrician, sorry to sat it but you wouldn't be an ELECTRICIAN for years.

    What EICR code for plastic trunking in escape routes?

    Hi to all. I'm new and this is my first post. I'm doing an EICR on a 3 story building split into multiple offices to let. One thing I noticed is t+e cables in plastic trunking almost throughout (switch/socket drops, across ceilings to lights etc). Would this be a code 2 or 3? Also would same...
