    Refitting an extraction fan

    Elementary, my dear Westward. I don't suppose we'll ever know.

    Is a fused double pole isolator classed as a consumer unit.

    Well a 63a switch fuse is an assembly for the control and distribution of electrical energy PM, it also incorperates a manual means of double pole isolation on the incoming circuit and an assembly of one fuse. Happy to be shown that I'm wrong but that's my take.

    Refitting an extraction fan

    That never ran on after it was switched off, also doesn't look that old. Have you replaced that one recently?

    Is a fused double pole isolator classed as a consumer unit.

    I think you did right Pete, I've just looked up consumer in definitions (never thought I'd ever have to do that) and it says 'one or more fuses, circuit-breakers etc etc' So it's a consumer unit. Regarding responsibility, I put the certificate number, in this case a MWC number on the part p...

    Is a fused double pole isolator classed as a consumer unit.

    Sorry, you just said isolator in your op. I suppose you could argue that as it changes the characteristics of the circuit it should be notified. If in doubt just notify it a consumer unit change, if wrong your only crime is miss describing the works. But at least you’ve notified it and covered...

    Is a fused double pole isolator classed as a consumer unit.

    I don't think it needs notifying Pete. Just a minor works certificate for the client.

    Refitting an extraction fan

    I'm guesing that's the new fan, as Brian asked, do you have a picture of the old one?

    Refitting an extraction fan

    If as you say, the old fan ran after the lights were switched off, then it was because of one of several reasons. Also I'm taking at face value you saying the earth conductor was tucked away and not used. 1/ You have a permenant feed and the fan was a humidistat type. 2/ You have a permanent...

    The new Landlords' EICR requirements. The law says that everything must now be to 18th Edition!

    I don't think it says that UKPN, just that the property must have a valid EICR. Not read the exact reg, just the various interpretations of it.

    Davesparks

    If he's like me he's probably ----ed off with the amount of advertising on this site now. I've had a look again after a week away only to find it even worse than before, it's hard to differentiate between posts and adverts now.

    Best Consumer Unit set up for TT system

    Don't undersell youeself PC. Just my opinion, but I don't see the need for the upfront RCD nowdays with all circuits being protected by rcbos. Not sure what it's protecting. I'd just fit a main switch.

    Eicr code for spurs within bathroom zone 2 but inside cabinet

    You take the shower screen into account, ie, if it's a 600 screen then zone 2 starts at the end of the screen and wouldn't touch the cupboard. If I've understood what you are saying.

    EIC to local council out of date??

    I suggest that you read the part p document. One of the following three procedures must be used. So, is the electrician registered with a scheme? Or did he use a registered third party Or did he inform building control? If you are an electrician, it’s up to you to know the building regs and...

    This is totally on you I'm afraid Sparky, it's your responsibility to notify building control within 28 days of completion.

    Can Plug Sockets for Dishwasher and Washing Machine be Placed in Under-sink Cupboard?

    I've been using IP66 sockets below sinks for a while now. I'm happy with that.

    Rewire... Is a kitchen fan needed?

    Is the window being replaced? If there is an existing extract fan you will need to have one. So either a new window fan or another such as a cooker hood with the same rate of extraction at least.

    When did sockets require RCD protection?

    My take on this is, if it's a first floor flat or higher it would not have required rcd protection at the time. A ground floor flat would have required rcd protection to all sockets. This is how I worked at the time; any ground floor socket was capable of supplying an item that will be used outside.

    EICR For Landlords

    Hi Phil As far as I am aware the EICR does not need to be undertaken by a registered company or person. If you are qualified and competant then you will be okay.
