EICR : Is this a code 2 or not?

[suffolkspark]

All sounds good then, no code and no remedial work needed

 

[Pete999]

Tabulated values (table 4D2A) are 16.5A for ref method B and 19.5A for ref method C
Minimum permitted cable size for a power circuit is 1.5mm

So assuming there are no de-rating factors to be applied then I don’t see any reason to record it as an observation on an EICR.

I had someone try to code a similar circuit I had installed a little while ago, 16A RCBO feeding a twin socket via 2 metres of 1.5mm SWA clipped direct. Thankfully the customer was on the ball and produced the installation certificate and suggested they phone me if they needed clarification, so the numpty gave up on that one.

Not sure but does FP 200 fall under this category??

It does Pete BS7671 states using Table 4D2A.

Somewhere down the line someone will think why have they fitted a fcu to the circuit.

Well Prysmian say to use that table and have it reproduced in the data sheet for FP200, so I’d say it’s a pretty safe bet.

Right OK
