Doing EICR on a HMO, DB feeds a Consumer Unit in each room. The feeds to each consumer unit seem to be SWA however the armour is not visible/accessible at either the consumer unit or the DB - it seems to have been cut out behind the DB which is inaccessible.
The cable is buried in the walls and...
Obviously at least a C3, but is it a C2?
Front door opens into tiny hallway, not much more than 1m square with the stairs going straight up virtually in line with front door, approx. 300mm offset to right.
Above you as you enter is a 16th edition insulated CU, tight against the ceiling and...
3ph TT supply into hotel. 300ma time delay rcd protecting a square d qox board. No 30ma RCD protection to any circuits including electric showers. Their is signs of supp bonding in some bathrooms. Thoughts on codes for circuits. Normally pme I would of said c3 for sockets not 30ma RCD...
How would you code the following?
No RCD protection. I coded c2
Not amendment 3 compliant. I coded C3
Meter tails 16mm. I coded C3
Tested the installation and the test results were all compliant with BS7671.
Coding for a 100mA RCD covering lighting circuit on a TT system in a domestic environment?
(Sockets on a 30mA, Ze of less then 50 ohms) (test data left in office along with books, just mulling it over during dinner)
How would you code a cooker isolator switch mounted within the cooker space, I.e directly above the hobs?
It's a metal faceplate mounted flush on metal splash back.
Thought I'd start a general thread on this as I'm currently making my way through this and have some questions (Except I'm reading AMD3 version). Anyhow, it makes pretty clear in the book that EICRs should be carried out with regards to the latest version of the regs. Fair enough. Then it goes...
Morning fellas,
Just a quick question if you don't mind,
Doing a EICR and came across what looks like 6mm tails from the meter to the rcd,
iv never seen tails thats small before,
the dno fuse is 60a and its a tt system.
What code would you use please,
Many thanks :)
I would like you guys to give me some input on what to code this picture as, I was thinking C3.
Also, I'm not sure whether the main earthing conductor and main protective bonding is 6mm or 10mm. They were both the same. Forgot the caliper today... I'm erring on the side that it might be 6mm...
Evening all,
Could someone advise if there is a regulation/guidance note that defines colour coding of underground ducting / containment for electrical services, I assume the 'accepted' colours of yellow -gas, blue - water and black - electrical are standardised but I could not see where this...
Hi guys,
Doing a periodic on a cabin which is to be used for buisness use.
Its a new install and the one thing i have seen which im not sure weather it warrants a code or
not is they have a chandelair type fitting where the bracket is screwed to the beam,
Meaning due to the size of the...
Evening.
I am unsure whether to code this a C2 or a C3. I wouldn't normally code a crack in the meter casing as a C2, but this is a big hole right where the cut out is? Plus I'm particularly poorly at the moment with a horrible bug and have become very indecisive! :nonod:
Cheers chaps.
Hi guys,
Recently doing a EICR in a commercial high street store. In the store area were they a false celing, they is cable drops down the wall and behind shelving. You only see maybe 200mm of the cable as the shelving is high near the ceiling. the cables are twin and earth and FP200, not...
Hi Lads
ive classed this as a C2 and there is also no RCD protection? Was told I'm being harsh but I don't think so. Also how would you choose to rectify it?
Thanks
Hello every one not been for a while so my apologies.
To my question I have rows of switch start fluro's all wired in T&E. The cable runs through the fitting bast the ballast with no heat protection, so am I right in saying it would be a code C3
Sorry if this is in the wrong section - tried to find a download place but couldn't (and may have already been posted).
Was looking for guidance on coding for reports and stumbled on this link with some useful guides:
Best Practice Guides | Electrical Safety First
Like I say, people probably...
Doing a test the other day and found a couple of metal light switches no earth to faceplate just to back box but both lugs were fixed.
What code do you reckon I'm saying 3 but it's a 2 minute job anyway to rectify. Can't recall seeing it before though
Cheers
