    DICR - Split load boards in HMOs

    How would you code for circuits not protected by RCD in HMOs, the circuits being, lighting, water heaters and storage heating? I'm thinking code 3, my main concern is the switch drops having no protection, just wondered if others agree.

    csa of wylex rcd live and neutral link cables

    Due to a burnt out 80a rcd on a wylex split board consumer unit, the consumer unit now only has one 80a rcd which all circuits (mcbs) are wired to, so a new 80a rcd has been bought to reinstate the split board. The issue is that the original live and neutral cables that linked the mcbs together...

    Split load RCD woes

    The usual C.U. change problem. All circuits working except one (Ostensibly a ring circuit, once upon a time. It 'end-to-end's at the board) which seems to have a neutral to earth fault. I was methodical so I don't believe any neutral conductors were misplaced, but even putting the two...

    EICR & Split consumer unit

    Where do we stand with an EICR and a split consumer unit. Obviously some circuits do not have RCD protection. Is this a code 3 as nothing is being added to the circuits.

    Dual RCD Split board with unprotected circuit with N wired into Main Switch

    Hello all. A friend of mine is looking to buy a house and got me to have a cursory look at the electrics for him. One thing seemed a little peculiar but i'm not sure whether or not it'd be deemed unsafe when he gets the EICR certificate done. The Consumer Unit is a fairly recent looking BG Dual...
