Code 3 for usign Sheath of MICC as CPC

[JameZZZ]

So not much experience with MICC then?

None, except doign one pot at college on C+G 2330 about 12 years ago.

Another example why Periodics should only be carried out by competent experienced people.

You have a copy of the EICR which will contain the details of the person who carried it out, have you contacted them to enquire why they have coded it as such?

 

[netblindpaul]

Toilet paper EICR, no requirement to change anything, no code unless incorrectly terminated.
Just ignore the idiot who did the EICR, they are incompetent.

I would be asking the client to confirm from the originator of the Report a Regulation number to confirm the statement.

That's the point I was just about to make.

Would be nice to know if he went down this route and any response, if any were given.

The " electrician" that coded the MICC is a dipstick, your customer who wants all the cable replaced is also a dipstick, never in my working life have I heard such a load of old BS. Get hold of Mr Muppet the sparks who coded the MICC and ask him politely in front of the Chap who paid good money for the duff EICR to explain his reasoning, guarantee you he will make a complete fool of himself, he ought to be ashamed of himself, sell his tools, stop paying whatever scam he belongs to, and take up Plumbing. Sorry one more thing are there any Zs readings for these "non-earthed" circuits?

He has C3 coded it as the copper sheath is used as the cpc, the only explanation that I can think of is corrosion to the sheath due to the environment but thats why you have the PVC over sheath.

I can think of one more reason: he is a clown.

Reading back over #9 where the OP says the client is a Local Authority, makes me wonder what sort of technical people they employ, someone must have realised that the Guy doing the testing has made a monumental cockup, in coding the install as he had.

it's a local authority, Pete. anyone sees it , they'll pass it on to another desk for fear of being branded racist/sexist/or tried for sexual harrasment/discrimination.

Not my problem so I'll pass it on syndrome then?

It's not one of the jobs Pete was at when he was an apprentice and was sent to polish the MICC's must have polished to enthusiastically and has reduced the CSA of the sheath. Tin hat on.
