Outdoor lighting circuit (domestic) without 30mA RCD additional protection, what code would you give it?
I'm leaning toward C2 as (A) outside lights have a habit of filling up with water, and (B) anyone touching it may be in contact with the bare ground.
What are your thoughts?
Hi, just undertaking an EICR on a factory and have came across, some perished shrouds inside of an old main frame board, i can not seem to find a regulation relating to this if there is one, also the boards have a wooden top panel where the cables enter before glanding off on the internal gland...
Hi. To get a satisfactory EICR does every single socket need to be easily accessible eg if socket for a fridge or washing machine is behind on the wall, so you cant reach and need to pull machine forward away from wall to access the plug, is that unsatisfactory? ie C2

My megger 1741 has come up with the code seen in the video clip.
I was doing a Ze. I disconnected the main earth from the earth bar in the CU when testing.
I believe that it means it would not let me carry out the test as the 'touch voltage' would be too great, but I don't know what the Ut bit...

Hi all
Doing an EICR on a basement flat, downlights throughout. Need work as all are connector block and taped, however none of them are fire rated.
I referred to the codebreaker book and it states it could justify a C2 (doesn't specify a flat, just the ground floor)
What is the general...
Good Day;
I am installing an external portable 4KW, 30A generator to my small mountain cabin. I have accounted for an external generator hook point, external 30A fused disconnect leading to the internal 12-way Square-D power distribution board. An external 4ft copper ground rod provides the...
Hi all
I am taking the Niceic Pat course on Monday 3rd August, unless it's cancelled due to the current pandemic I am awaiting an answer.
As it may be postponed I'm loathe to buy new copy of the the 4th edition with the 5th edition being released shortly. Does anyone have a copy they no...
Doing one more of the flood of EICR today on a rented property before a tenant change, but ran into a slightly interesting case so would appreciate other people's views.
About 6.5 years ago I partially rewired the small kitchen at this property - and since the main fuseboard was a skeleton...
Hi just wondering what code you would give for hard wired smoke alarms with removable batteries, I always thought this would be code 3 but I got told recently that it’s a c2. Would be grateful if someone could clear this up for me also would the code be the same for out of date smokes? Thanks in...
Went to a converted Victorian house which is now 7 flats to do a job last week in a flat and while I was there I was asked by another lease holder to look at the hallway lighting, intercom, smokes etc that was all off for the previous two weeks. Turns out the whole lot is on a board with an rcd...
I'm after some advice. We've just had a new Neff induction hob fitted. Only one side is working. 3 areas have an error code 5 13 on it. I've spoken to Neff and they say the error codes relate to an installation error and won't help but the electrician is adamant it's a faulty hob. They've used...

Hi all
The subject says it all - there's a lot of outside exposed clipped t&e out there with all the attendant physical protection and UV issues.
Question is - should it have a fault code on a report? I guess it would be a C3 at most, but should it feature at all?
Cheers
In have just tried to perform a RCD test on a split load domestic board, the meter didn't trip the RCD on with of the RCD's, at either a point in the property or at the board, the Ze is good, the meter display showed the voltage in large on the bottom reading, then in the small display above...
Hi guys hope you’re doing ok with all this going on. Anyway recently I was doing an EICR for a family member and to my amazement came across 5 upstairs sockets that were connected to the upstairs lighting circuit. The properties wiring looked quite on the older side but there was a new amendment...
Where can I find the MPAN on a "Radio Telemeter Series K" meter? Unlike the older meters, this just has a serial number and stores code on it.
I have no way of getting past energy bills but doubt if that would help as the meter has been changed.
ENA requires a 21 digit MPAN. The serial number...
