    Wetpants Trashed My Van

    Wepants is 100% at fault here too. It was his fault for parking his van in an area that you would later be reversing your van. :D

    New old boy!

    Welcome to the forum Vintageleccy.:) This post from Lister 1987 provides a good answer to your question, "And then?" Although I passionately believe that SELECT's campaign for protection of title being given to Scottish electricians is a step in the direction and will go a long away to...

    Code for gas too close to CU

    I had the same issue arise during an EICR that I did 18 months ago. https://www.electriciansforums.net/threads/thank-you-mr-wetpants-you-inconsiderate-imbecile.136249 The gas engineer who carried-out the gas inspection on this job wouldn't pass the installation. He agreed with me that the...

    Wetpants Trashed My Van

    11 months after the event, I've finally received a satisfactory offer from Wetpants' insurers. It was hard work trying to get them to accept 100% liability, but I got there in the end. At first, they tried to palm me off with a 50/50 admission, but I was having none of it. Wetpants was 100% to...

    The big difference in the electric terminology and installation regulations and practice in each country!

    And your point is? :D

    EV Charger Installation - Cabling Query?

    None whatsoever. The DNO should already know about this install as electrical contractors are obliged to inform the DNO whenever EV chargers have been added to an existing installation. Sometimes notification needs to be given in advance of the install.

    EV Charger Installation - Cabling Query?

    Judging from the photos you have posted, I can't see anything wrong with this install. Tails are fine, correct type of RCD. Did the electrician give you an Electrical Installation Certificate in respect of the work? If so, what type of earthing system has the electrician listed on the...

    A Rather Obvious Forged EICR

    That was my conclusion too. There is insufficient capacity in the main board. All the ways have been used. One of the breakers has three conductors. Two supply the main area lighting and emergency lighting. The other supplies one of the shuttered doors of which there are five in total. Another...

    A Rather Obvious Forged EICR

    The person who did the work advertises himself as an electrician. However, I would advise him to quit the trade and seek alternative employment.

    A Rather Obvious Forged EICR

    There's a fire alarm panel, smoke alarms, call points and sounders present. I noticed that the panel is indicating a fault condition. However, no certificate other than a MEIWC has been issued. Whoever did the work submitted a MEIWC to cover the design, installation and commissioning! There is...

    A Rather Obvious Forged EICR

    You are correct. I'm informed that prior to a 16mm SWA being installed to supply a sub-board for the office area, one of those twin and earths was acting as the supply cable! Apparently whoever installed the sub-board connected all the final circuits, but for reasons best known to himself...

    These SWAs were wrapped together with plastic cable ties and left dangling.

    A Rather Obvious Forged EICR

    This is how the wiring looks when viewed from behind the board. All the cables have been taped together and left dangling.

    The only clip securing the tails and main earth is that solitary T&E clip.
