Am confused by the two 'types' of EICR - i.e. for either single or multiple distribution boards
Section N is confusing me the most - the 'single' version asks about supply details but the 'multiple' one doesn't :thinking:
Am I right in thinking that you use the 'single' form(s) for the first...

How much electrical work is involved in one of these installations?
The only reason I ask is because a job has been mentioned in this field and I'd like to find out more about the work involved as an "Installer"

Hi Everyone,
We are a Solar PV wholesaler in the Midlands and a lot of our customers are asking us whether they need Building control approval for all their Solar PV installations. This seems to be a bit of a grey area and some installers seem to do it and others don't.

Hi folks,
It’s obvious that wrong voltage setting on the meter, not removing sensitive equipment or not disconnecting loads will give wrong IR reading or fry up the equipment. During IR testing the cables are pressure tested with certain voltage & current to see if they leak...

Just as a matter for friendly discussion, I think most of the sparks on here know which B or C type breaker etc to use for a particular application, but do we give any thought to the possible different types of RCD's there may be and their applications ? Setting aside time delay which is common...

I have a question regarding the Feed-in tariff:
We have looked at a potential project in an industrial estate on a total of five roofs with an overall capacity of 124 kWp.
If the project is treated as one installation, the FiT would be 29.3 p.
If each roof gets its own meter, is it possible...

G59/2 by the Energy Networks Association states that in order to be eligible for the FiT MCS installers must be used for installations with a capacity of less than 50 kWp.
Does that mean that for installations > 50 kWp MCS installers must not be used at all?
G59/2 says that accreditation...
