Installed a double insulated in-line fan on friday, came to tests & no cpc continuity. Checked & tested back at spur & nothing there, Checked at nearest light fitting & still no joy. Its obvious there has been a lot of work at the property with a number of downlights on the lighting circuit...
OK....
Have a lighting system with no CPC and have just updated the CU to a 17th edition slit, dual RCD board. When testing the lighting circuit, all I have done is test the Insulation Line / Neutral and polarity, and left Xs on the R1+R2, Zs and Live / Earth Insulation. Is there any way to...
Hi all. I am sure this is not the first time you have seen this issue posed in the forum :D
Just a quickie for you all......I am changing the CU in my flat from old 3036 fuse board to a 17th edition split dual RCD board. I will be doing a full rewire in about 6 months but just don't have the...

Hi guys, just after some advice, what do you do when you come up to a property with no cpc in the lighting circuit?
Do you run a sep cpc back to board? or can you run it from say the ring?
Just after some advice!?
Thanks for your time.

Hi,
I've been helping out a plumber mate of mine with the moving and changing of a few fittings in bathroom. One of which is a metal mirror light. However the bathroom lighting circuit doesn't have a earth.
They don't want the added cost of running back to the board, so was wondering...
If a customer would like some minor changes to an old lighting circuit with no CPC, then obviously you should start by recommending that the circuit be rewired. If the customer doesn't want this then, as I understand it, you are still allowed by the regs to work on the circuit as long as that...
