What a C2 for having plastic blank plates?

The material has nothing to do with it. It is the fact that a live bus bar can be accessed without the use of a tool.

Fair comment.

 

[telectrix]

i think the argument is more that the plastic blanks can be removed without use of a tool, thus compromising the IP integrity of the CU.

oops, beaten to it by the fake tan boy. .

Must admit I never fit clip in blanks, if not using Hager or Memshield modular blanks I cost in fitting mcbs to the spare ways. There are the odd plastic blanks like the old Memera 21 which are twist fit and cannot be removed.

These somewhat dubious CU blanks have been around for years ........ so I simply can't agree with the coding of these

Personally I like the Wylex ones that can't be removed unless the cover is removed.

Keep going on about pendants and there will be an amendment to 18th edition - We'll have to start fitting something needing a screwdriver to get the rose cover off and some special lampholder that has contacts you cant touch.

BC and ES lamps will end up being banned

 

[westward10]

Things like that are an exclusion in the Regs.

 

[littlespark]

I suppose pendants are under the category "placed out of reach".... at least for your average 5 foot tall grandma.

An exclusion in the regs just now, but imagine the sales for the manufacturers if it became a regulation.

 

[westward10]

You would have difficulty using placed out of reach in a domestic scenario.
