    Yet Another Dodgy EICR

    A prospective customer has contacted me via a recommendation received from a mutual contact and asked me to provide a quotation for remedial works that have arisen from an EICR that was recently undertaken at a three-bedroom property he rents out. In his initial e-mail, he said that the letting...

    63p + VAT Per item

    The only time I ever do portable appliance testing is during EICRs for private lets. I include the cost of testing up to six appliances within the overall cost of the EICR. If there are more than six appliances to be tested, then it's £3 per appliance. I find PA testing incredibly tedious and...

    Have I got a poor EICR?

    Could you possibly upload a copy of the EICR with your own personal details and those of the contractor redacted please? This will help us better scrutinise the report and spot any irregularities and/or inconsistencies.

    The day I was undercut by a wetpants for an EICR job was the day that I realised just how far down the pan our industry has gone. This joker considered himself to be an electrician solely on the basis of him having completed a two-day BS 7671 course and having passed the open-book exam. I kid...

    EV Charger Installation - Cabling Query?

    Regulation 722.411.4.1 unequivocally and unambiguously states that: "a PME earthing facility shall not be used as the means of earthing for the protective conductor contact of a charging point located outdoors OR that might reasonably be expected to be used to charge a vehicle located outdoors...

    EV Charger Installation - Cabling Query?

    These are not my suggestions, they are what I was taught on the City & Guilds course in EV charging that I did. I dare say that anyone else who has completed the course would have been taught the same. If these 'suggestions' amuse you, why not e-mail Bill Allan of NAPIT and laugh loudly at him...

    EV Charger Installation - Cabling Query?

    No. The whole installation remains T-N-CS apart from the EV charging circuit. As the rod is connected to the EV charger only that one dedicated circuit becomes TT.

    Correct!

    EV Charger Installation - Cabling Query?

    No! The rod is connected to the EV charger!! The CPC of the T&E would be insulated and parked at the charger end of the circuit, but connected to the MET at the supply side of the circuit. It's no different from the arrangement that would be used if you were installing a consumer unit in a...

    EV Charger Installation - Cabling Query?

    I've recently quoted for two jobs and in both instances none of the other people who quoted mentioned anything to the client about the possibility of an earth rod(s) having to be installed. I asked each client for details of the EV charging unit that was to be installed. All of the units listed...
