Hi to all. I'm new and this is my first post.
I'm doing an EICR on a 3 story building split into multiple offices to let.
One thing I noticed is t+e cables in plastic trunking almost throughout (switch/socket drops, across ceilings to lights etc).
Would this be a code 2 or 3? Also would same...

PIR done on domestic.
32a ring final circuit with RCD protection. R1 slightly high, most likely due to poor connection (0.92ohms)
R2 ( 0.54).
Does this need coding?
Zs is .53 so no non compliance there, but ob there is a clear fault on the R1.
Doing an EICR on a commercial kitchen. 415v isolator located behind wash sink basin. Evidence of water spray over the years. How would you code this? Thanks
Hi all, carried out an EICR recently on a caravan. System is a TT with 4293 100ma main switch then into a 3036 board. All wiring tested ok with just a few damaged accessories to change. RCD tested ok but its not time delay. Should I be recommending additional 30ma RCD protection for circuits (in...
Please go easy as I’m sure it’s a simple mistake.
Anyway my MFT Megger turned up today and when I switch it to Loop L-PE or L-N it comes up on the display as Err with 3 dash’s underneath.
Just wondered why this is.
Thanks.
Evening all.
I have just finised an EICR on a new extension. The previous electrician cannot be contacted.

Argument at work!
on an EICR its common to find a 9.5kW shower wired in 6.0mm T/E with a 40 amp MCB.
obviously a code 2 unless short run and clipped direct?
Our argument is whether to down rate MCB to a 32amp or rewire the circuit in 10mm?
I say ok to down rate the MCB as
cable is 32amp IEE say...
Recent EICR at a special needs care site found a built in double oven (4.2kw) connected to a 4.0mm ring final on a 30a C50 mcb. Two other double sockets on the ring for general use and an FCU for a fridge. Interested in what code people might apply to that, no need to consider RCD or anything...
Being doing a domestic bathroom refurb', lighting, altering shower circuit (have a Megger 1730 MFT).
History, property has no RCD protection, but as it was a Hager CU, had contemplating using RCBO's (TN-C-S supply). Before doing any work, I decided to clamp the meter tails, as the property has...
