Hi Guys,
Came across this today in what seems like a newly refurbished bathroom. As you can see from the picture (hopefully) is that the boiler is less than 600mm from the edge of the shower enclosure. Not sure what the IP rating of the boiler is but the adjacent switched connection unit &...
6mm singles from 100a TP 60947-2 in a main panel to an adcent enclosure to a 16a 60898-D Tp, then 6mm leaving this to air con units. Would you code 2 the 6mm singles from the 100a 60947-2? As exceeds current carrying capacity?. Or because the 6mm singles are less than 3 metres to the enclosure...
Hi doing an eicr on a tt system, plastic board, bonding ok! It is a split 16th edition board with 80amp 100m/amp main switch which has the lighting, smokes and boiler on. On the other side is a 63amp 30m/amp rcd protecting sockets, cooker and shower. The Ra is 28 ohms.
anyway my interpretation...
Undertaking an eicr on a small commercial unit, tpn 100a 1361 main fuses to tpn dist board, 16mm tails
i have only read the side of the fuse carriers not actually pulled the fuses to confirm
i have clamp metered the supply at a roughly peak time in the premises and had <30A across any one...
Just doing a EICR report
On the upstairs lighting circuit for some reason they have taken two 1mm t&e up both cables are fine for IR and r1 + r2 both on a the same 6 amp mcb
I cant see it 2 be dangerous does this need a code ?
Which code would be considered appropriate for a ring circuit protected by a 30A rewireable fuse wired in 4 core 1.5mm2 MICC cable installed to method C. Circuit consists of 12 double sockets serving a large chapel area in a church dating to approx 60 years. I have put a code 2 for...
While carrying out a periodic inspection and test, I have a socket circuit where after power is removed for a while, then restored, the B16 MCB trips fairly reliably. There are quite a number of office-type appliances connected that are always switched on (PCs, printer, shredder, surge...
Flats landlord area 2way consumer unit supplying landlords lighting and 1x hallway socket (max likely demand of about 10a)

What would you consider reasonable coding for dado trunking in a medium sized office space with no high integrity earth connections on the ring circuits supplying the IT equiptment, there are about 6-8 desk spaces per ring circuit with pc monitor tower printer in each desk unit
Im wavering on a...
Hi guys,
Im doing an eicr on an events building, the db is in the main kitchen, however dirt and grime havegot into the db.
Would you code it?
Im thinking c3 as there is no sign of danger but improvements could be made. Or am i being too picky.
The cause of the grime getting in is the fact...
Hi all,
Just done a EICR and have found on one of the 3 phase DB's that most of the neutrals and cpcs on one side of the DB are all mixed up and not in correct terminals. To rectify needs a few hours to strip it all back and re terminate due to how messy it has become over the years with add...
Another real doozy from the ‘experts’ on Vo****um:
Note that since the PIRs were replaced by EICRs, there is no longer a Code 3 (sic).
If an assessor (sic) is showing signs of wear and tear then the inspecting engineer would need to use his engineering judgment in determining what action would...
Hi guys, i did a EICR on a property which i found to have no gas bonding or water bonding? I listed this as a C2 but is this over the top considering it has been fine for 25+ years and there are plenty of properties around which are still in this condition?
Also backboxes were no existing and...
Hi just carried out an EICR prior to a consumer unit change. The customer has a wet room with a normal baton type accessorie. The ceiling height is more than 2.25 mtrs but the shower head is less than 1.2 meters from the light in a straight line. There is no rcd at the minute but will be once...
Industrial workshop, 40amp mcb in DB, non armoured rubber cable connected in comes out of steel tray and runs across the floor against wall, then behind some fork truck racking and has a 32a RCD outlet box laying on floor loose to connect the welder to.
Which code?
hi guys.What code would you give to 6mm cooker cable running through a bedroom clipped to the skirting board.i think it could quite easily get knocked so a c2.
your thoughts please.
Regards Daz.
In the process of a domestic EICR. RFC, i'm getting L-L (0.11) N-N (0.11) cpc-cpc (0.48) had to take off all socket fronts anyway as i did not like what i saw on a couple of random selected s/o & i've tightend up any loose cpc terminals i can find. I'm guessing that there could be a JB with a...
