Recent thread brought up C3 cables in wall of less than 50mm from surface without rcd or additional mechanical protection on a eicr.
I would also C3 this however how do people feel about this if the walls were metal partions on the studs and not wood?
Would you then be more swayed to a C2 incase...
As it says - what code should I be giving to a metal CU where the cables come straight in through the knockouts without any form of protection. Meter tails and main earth enter through different apertures 'n all.
Hi All
What code would you give for an old Wylex Consumer Unit with a wooden backing, located in the escape route of a communal area?
I was leaning towards a C2 but don't know if I'm being too harsh?
Thanks
hi all, done a eicr recently and found the following and would like thoughts on the codes? Thinking code 2 but bit harsh to fail the installation on these points esp as its been like it for 30 ish years and no problems or atleast that's what the owner will say!!

Would the defect being no...

3 core Swa feeding ip rated plastic sockets outdoors.
He 3rd core of the Swa has been used as a cpc but the armour is not connected to earth; but has been made off with metal banjos. Would this warrant a C2 or C3? I'm assuming as the armour isn't extraneous a C3? ?
Thoughts please ...

I'm doing a EICR on a caravan site. Came across 5 circuits each supplying about 13 16A socket outlets. All are protected by 63 A mcbs and all wired in 6mm twin armoured cable buried underground. The cable rating for the cable is 46A with the ref installed etc.
Im undecided if I should code 3...

Anyone got any tips for getting hold of spare parts? A customer of mine requires new kids for 4 boxes as part of their tenancy agreement with a landlord. If I can't source the lids I'll have to replace the whole thing and they've been concreted in!! Any help would be massively appreciated, Ebay...
I'm writing up an EICR. On one of the lighting circuits the potential load is theoretically about 1300W on a 5A BS3871 breaker. In reality, the arrangement has been in place for at least 8 years there are no signs of thermal damage, it is difficult to find lamps these days that would max out all...
