EICR Code help

[stu75]

Just tested a bungalow and fond the power is all supplied by one radial 2.5mm circuit rated at 32A on a fuse not MCB. Was thinking C2, there are only 15 points in the on the circuit and most re not used. will be carrying out a full rewire in a couple of weeks any way. If I reduce the fuse size to 20A con I get away with a C3?

If its a 2.5mm cable and the MCB is rated at 20A why would you code it at all?

The point of an EICR is to report the findings of the day - nothing more, nothing less. (EDIT: Unless you find a C1 you can fix on the spot IMHO)

2.5mm cable and a 30A BS 3036 is a C2 IMHO

what he said ^^^^^.

I was gonna say the same too

Also, has the rewire come about as a result of the EICR ?

But a code 2 would be a fail so change the breaker or recommend upgrading the wiring

What exactly would it "fail"

 

[gnselectricals]

I assume fail meaning unsatisfactory result however if that's the only fault found then it seems like a 'pass' to me

sorry diiib what i ment was any code 1 or 2 is unsatisfactory
