    Was helping a fiend to change some socket outlets, standard white to brushed steel in her kitchen. She only had the house re wired 2 years ago - got the part P paperwork. This is what we found behind one socket. WTF was the bloke thinking?? Also obviously doesn't bother with grommets. I also...

    Use of cpc as a live conductor - EICR Coding

    Fella's I'm just writing up an EICR from last month, one of the findings was a lighting circuit on the non RCD side of the board where the cpc was used as a strapper in 2 way light switching, Ive marked it as C2 for two reasons, one being that there is no longer a cpc in the cable and also that...

    CPC - Neutral Fault

    Hi Ive just changed a Consumer board and fitted a Wylex split load,5 Rcbo's one side and 4 Mcb's on the Rcd side. After connection of all conductors (all in correct terminals) it turns out one leg of my ring has a faulty Cpc, i've carried out an IR test and there's an issue with the neutrals &...

    Calculate the min size of cpc giving consideration to disconnection times and thermal

    Hi everyone, On the drawing it says the system's TN-C-S with declared Ze = 0,008 Ω and prospective fault current declared as 50kA When I calculate If = Uo / Zs = 230 / 0,716 = 321 A . With this value there's no way to match with 10A curve at fig. 3A6 (appendix 3) But if I calculate the...

    Hi guys. Correct me if I'm wrong your cpc and earthing conductor should be no less than half the size of your line conductor.

    Voltage on CPC from PV Array.

    Hi Guys I wonder if someone with more experience of PV might be able to give me some advise. Was called out today to a domestic building with a remote barn on which a 4kW PV array is sited. The Inverter is in the barn and a long (50m) 2.5mm twin and earth in pipe (historic) feed back to the...

    Final ring circuits with radial CPC

    Have justed looked at a job to replace the consumer unit and it appears that both the final ring circuits ( Kitchen and the rest of the Flat ) have Radial CPC's. The flat is wired in multicore Singles and Plastic Conduit , has anyone come across this type of design before. Both "ring circuits"...

    6mm integrated CPC of 16mm 6242Y used for main earth

    My adiabatic maths says that for a 16mm main conductor, assumed Ze of 0.2, 80A 88:3 CPD, k as 115.... the earth only needs to be 3.16mm therefore the 6mm in a 6242YH 16mm is more than sufficient. Anyone disagree?

    Insulation resistance testing with no cpc

    When doing a CU change and lights have no cpc. Every room has class 2 dimmers and lights. ceilings are like 20 foot tall. How would you guys go about Insulation testing? L&n to cpc ain't an option and removing all lights and bypassing dimmers is consequently going to take some time... What would...

    Extending cpc ?

    Is permissable to extend the earth conductor in t/e by soldering? I have a job where all the earths in a small extension have been cut off (lighting only) . Not really enough cable to get a through crimp on and rewire is out of the question.
