    Ethics around EICR

    This is all conjecture, you may well be right, but I don't believe that a contractor is considered an employee for this sort of thing. If I contracted you for some research and the secrecy of it was it important to me then I would certainly put that into a contract, so that if you gave it to...

    Ethics around EICR

    This is an interesting point Julie, personally I think it comes down to copyright, ie, you commission me to undertake an electrical inspection of a property, obviously I’m contractually bound to issue a copy of the report to you, but who owns the copyright? My take would be that unless it was...

    Ethics around EICR

    I was answering a hypothetical question Brian, again I was not addressing any particular situation.

    Ethics around EICR

    Not sure about that James, if you found a C1 and did not inform the tenant, by way of an electrical danger notification, or temporary repair and informing the tenant, and then someone was hurt, I think you may well find yourself in court.

    Ethics around EICR

    I was replying to this question Loz 'what's the correct course of action if you're doing an EICR for a non occupier i.e landlord/buyer and you fjnd C1s and C2s? Are you under any moral (or legal) obligation to tell the current occupants ?' He mentions landlord. It's not a comment on his...

    Mains water earthing

    You should get this looked at by an electrician asap Theo. It won't be static of the taps and could be dangerous.You can't tell from the photos whether it needs bonding and I'm not sure what the earth cable is doing there. As I say you need an electrician.

    Ethics around EICR

    Your contract is with whoever commissioned you to undertake the report. However any C1 should be made safe before leaving the property and I would definitely bring any temporary repair to the attention of tennent.

    Dangerous Video Youtube won't remove: Join electrical cables the pretty way

    As others have said, nothing wrong with this method, I too was taught this method 40 years ago. compared to choc box connectors it's far superior, but a lot more time consuming. Also, YouTube is global, so you will see working practices from around the world, I don't think it's for YouTube to...

    EICR Coding query

    You need to forget the fact that it's a board, you have a circuit (the supply to the board) without a cpc. Therefore ADS is not being met. The Zs is too high and there is no earth fault protection. Code 2. None of the final circuit from the board will have acceptable Zs or disconnection times...

    Multifunctional Testers - Which one have you got and how long has it lasted?

    I don't know why the price is so high other than demand, they do seem to sell well, but they are good for the job. I'm sure there's a market there to exploit.

    Multifunctional Testers - Which one have you got and how long has it lasted?

    I looked at that, very similar if not the same only in black. Strangely though on Ebay the Di-Log was £ 68 compared to £ 45 for the Fluke.

    Multifunctional Testers - Which one have you got and how long has it lasted?

    I'll second that Mike, after owning a martindale ET4500 for 2 years, not liking the soft case but liking the tester I ordered a Fluke case for it. I paid over £40 just for the case but I'm glad I did now. I have no idea why other manufacturers don't do something similar.

    UK DIY. Hi Is a 2.5mm T+E cable ok for kitchen appliances ?

    Then on the face of it that's fine for the supply to the hob isolator. Most 13a appliances come already flexed, so I'm assuming that's the case here and the flex goes to the isolator. Or are you saying this is 2.5 T&E also. Whatever, no need for 4mm, and it has nothing to do with part p.

    Don't know about RCBOs pc, but Contactum do a 3A, C curve MCB.

    Thought you might appreciate this!

    I agree Mike, I already use 3a mcbs if possible (it nearly always is) to get around my perennial argument with my assessor regarding protection for fans.

    Why is a too high zs reading on a circuit okay if it’s protected by an Rcd?

    As above. Simply put, you shouldn't just use an rcd to cover up a high Zs, it's normally needed for a high Ze, normally a TT circuit. If you have a good Ze but not getting acceptable disconnection time, this will need investigating and rectifying.

    Thought you might appreciate this!

    Domestic installations in T&E I only ever use 1mm now, with LED lights there should be no need for anything else. Of course, normal design constraints will apply.
