    Urgent Advice please

    OK so I've just come to a property to do an EICR... walking around I have found 4/5 C1s with regards to access to live cables... broken sockets and switches etc... there are kids in the house. We have an agreement with the landlords/lady's of the agency we are doing these tests for that we ring...

    Remote location Consumer unit

    Seems like everyone is in the same boat as me... not 100% sure lol I'm going to advise him to move the consimer unit up to the flat that way at least it can be accessed by the occupant. See what happens because this is obviously the more expensive option but the better one in my opinion...

    Remote location Consumer unit

    Again what annoys me on here is that people don't read all the replies what I said was that the 25mm was an example ffs i haven't done anything yet what I said was IF they were 25mm IF that means they have a reason to be that size and would of been calculated as such so theoretically without...

    Remote location Consumer unit

    Yea see thats what I thought... it has to have the isolation, but doesn't say it has to be accessible... its just adequate accessibility at the unit not getting to the unit... but surely if you can't access it then you can't isolate so does it class as isolation if you can't physically do it ...

    Remote location Consumer unit

    Seriously... i have said numerous times i haven't seen it... 25mm was an example not job specific. I've not calculated anything yet 1596142576 That was what I thought but according to niceic its acceptable to be inaccessible... surely if this is the case its just very bad practice

    Remote location Consumer unit

    As I said at least 3 times before I haven't calculated anything yet.. i was under the impression that if it has been calculated previously to 25mm for example (I haven't seen the actual size of tails yet) then the chances are it would need increasing in size and a protective device within the 3m...

    Remote location Consumer unit

    Not calculated yet but the tails to the consumer unit will have to be bigger as they will have to run about 10m or so to the consumer unit 25mm if its 3m or less.... so 35mm was just a guess for now 1595976658 Sorry maybe it wasn't clear I mean the tails from the meter to the consumer unit will...

    Remote location Consumer unit

    I have recently been to a property and for love nor money couldnt find the consumer unit in the 1 bed flat. I eventually found out that it is in the cellar below the shop next door. Now my question is about the location of said unit. I have looked into it briefly and there doesn't seem to be...

    So 1 last question all be it a stupid 1 to you guys... do the rcbo boards need any RCD protection?? Are they classed as RCD in themselves?? I really know naff all about rcbos sorry
  11. NellyManjaro

    Need some advice and to introduce myself

    Yes but they said I can move the unit up meaning I can get a split board anyway so it will fit in if I move the unit... what I want to know is given the choice what would other people use... I've never considered rcbos because last time I looked I was looking at around 100 extra for about 4/5...

    Need some advice and to introduce myself

    They are open to moving the unit up a bit to allow more space as long as it's boxed in which it will be. I mentioned the rcbo board and was honest saying I've never fitted them before but alot of people won't fit anything else but alot of people don't fit them etc either or is up to regs etc...

    Need some advice and to introduce myself

    If I can change the location of the CU say if the customer is fine with taller boxing... is it better to get say an 8 way dual RCD or the rcbo boards?? Never actually used the rcbos before

    Have a major problem

    The only thing that is correct is that it takes like 0.5A to kill someone might even be less but it's like that figure... very low... needless to say we have rule someone out of this.... why on earth (get it hahahaha) did the customer touch the wall!!! It's their fault!!! They shouldn't just got...

    Have a major problem

    So what he is saying that your dad and brother are liable because he is putting the blame fully on you and taking no responsibility himself... it was plastered a month ago... irrelevant... if tbe install was done correctly and you could get a shock from the wall then it should of shown up in...

    Have a major problem

    I'll say again that you shouldn't of touched the capping... wasn't your job but like someone else pointed out... you would of rang him and said it's fallen off and 99.9% chance he would either say just put it back on or you would of offered and he'd say yea None of what you have told us makes...

    Have a major problem

    In my opinion is a bit of both... you shouldn't of touched it... wasn't your job to do it... BUT that being said... if I'm not mistaken... if the wall was live that means that under an IR test surely there would of been a very low reading between earth and live... if the current can travel that...
