    R1,R2,Rn versus r1,r2,rn continuity readings on EICR.

    Looking at the EICR form. GENERIC SCHEDULE OF TEST RESULTS Looking for clarification on R1,R2,Rn versus r1,r2,rn continuity values. I have reached the some conclusions. Do r1,r2 and rn only apply to ring circuits and R1,R2 and Rn (not on form) to radial? It just looks like that might be the...

    EICR testing and inspection

    Before anyone asks I am a qualified spark.. been off the tools for years and getting back into it.. In regards to EICR’s it’s been a while.. Acceptable to add R1 R2 to Ze for ZS or do you all test all 3 anyway? I know it’s not acceptable to ZS and take off ZE to get R1 R2..

    What codes for this EICR?

    I just have a question about the RCCB seen in the picture below. It is a 63A RCCB protecting the 32A shower circuit, 32A cooker circuit and 2 x 32A socket circuits. My concern is that the rated current of the RCCB is being exceeded. Even with diversity applied it is >63A. I realise we see...

    Can an EICR be unsatisfactory with only C3 codes?

    I recently had and EICR done and received an 'unsatisfactory' report due to not all circuits being RCD protected on the consumer unit. The consumer unit was installed in 2007 and complied with all wiring regulations at the time (image attached). Does it need to be upgraded? I have attached the...

No previous reports, no...
