In other words this RCD may fail to operate when other electronic items are plugged in which leak DC in to the mains. Regulation...

    EICR Code for two circuits on one cable.

    Hi, Currently undertaking an EICR on a factory, we have came across an 4 core SWA and 4 Core SY which have been split in the DB to serve two separate circuits. The SWA has the Brown on a 10A MCB and the Grey is on a 16A. So clearly they have shared earths and shared neutrals, similar scenario...

    Color code for wiring

    We have UL 508A for US and C22.2 No. 286 and No.14 code books for Canada. I have seen TEW, THHN wires etc., being used for wiring inside the panel.

    Views on a code if inspecting

    I’m in a venue (U.K.) at the moment which leaves a lot to be desired in pretty much all aspects but in the process of glancing around I spotted this, below. It’s definitely a C2 but I’m curious as to how people would judge that little bit of connector strip as a potential C1. Genuine...

    What code does this deserve?;.

    I am only asking for YOUR opinion as to what code should be given in an EICR which sees a dry wall fixing box being used for joints behind a commercial dishwasher where it has been left lying loose on the tiled kitchen floor. I am thinking that it should be fixed up on the wall and inside a...

However, the CPC from another switch the other side of the...
