EICR Code for no main earth

[wozz]

Im the first person (if i can) to jump all over over zealous coding but id be putting a C1 for this regardless of needing more faults or anything, if my house had no MEC id being strolling to the garage to get some 16mm to fit one straight away without considering anything else and my coding would reflect this.

Then you'd be wrong. You'd devalue the meaning of a real C1.

This is black and white coding. Anything other than a C2 would be ridiculous and potentially invalidate a report.

You're not one of these 'C1 no RCD protection in bathrooms' types are you?

 

[wozz]

hahaha, now now play nice i havnt started questioning your abilities have I.

black and white? whos black and white?

can you explain how I can code something different to you can invalidate the report?

I believe the MEC should be installed as a matter upmost urgency end of, i feel a C1 best describes this. you can disagree with that all you want.

 

[GMES]

It's a C2 all day everyday no if's no but's you cant change the codes to suit your own personal thoughts, otherwise it would be chaos out there, oh hang on a minute it already is

ITS NOT A BLOODY 1...is it.

a 1 is immediately dangerous...is it not

so no main earthing is not immediately dangerous...is it.....(such as exposed live parts)

but under fault conditions?....

and dangerous under fault conditions is a 2...is it not?

think thats cleared this one up...

course it is

that at #31 & #35 Wozz just twaddle...i`m afraid.

 

[GLENNSPARK]

never ceases to amaze me the amount of folk out there that can`t get their heads around the coding system for what are open and shut cases....

i bet their ECRs are full of 1s n 2s for stuff that they have no business failing....

lol....lol..

 

[ipf]

What..........if it's under fault condition, ie enhancing other C1's ? Just thinking ! Short to earth..no earth!!

 

[wozz]

i did think this forum was grown up for a while. same old same old.

I saw an eicr that gave a C2 for t&e cables that were in a chase with no capping/conduit, claiming 'no mechanical protection'. Wtf is the sheath dimlo ?!?!

They must have gone a bit deep into that report......taking the plaster off to check

 

[Eddiesparks]

Haha no. It was rough, chased out brickwork, no filling. But clipped.

Rough but fine basically

yeah well they probably had it in their minds that pvc/metal channels are `mechanical protection`...lol

this is typical Electrical Trainee stuff is this....i know caus i`v heard folk who i know are Electrical Trainee spouting it in the wholesalers...lol..
