Eicr

[joehat]

Sub mains to 2 x outbuildings.

Is the only way for this to pass an eicr is for the cables to be dug up and redone, I am going to make safe and add rcds by main fuse??

No armour or protection??

Why? Because you don't like it being pointed out that an RCD won't help the situation?

Joe and Dave please keep it civil to avoid the thread derailing, if you don't feel you can get on well enough to engage in the same threads may I suggest you use the ignore feature and at least that way the thread can stay open, cheers lads.

How about you get lost, I asked politely not to comment on my posts any more, that's all my future posts

A bit unnecessary if you ask me. Dave is a very experienced sparky and if you discount his input as not being valid, you will not learn from him.

Learning from others is what you need and nobody knows everything!

Hum... I disagree with you. He's plain speaking - none of this PC clap trap!

Haha, you think I'm bad now? You should have met me before they got the medication right!

Good to see that you do have a sense of humour Dave.

Who's joking?

Surly as its my thread , if I ask for him not to comment further then that should be respected. I was not rude in. Asking him only when he ignored me just because he likes to be sarcastic ???

Matey. You need to grow thicker skin.

Maybe get someone who is experienced at carrying out EICRs to come and do a few with you, that way you will start to learn the process involved. You are there to report only, the install is not your problem. You're not there to do the customer any favours in terms of trying to achieve a 'Satisfactory' overall report. If something is wrong, which in this case it is. List it and code it in the EICR and then set out in your estimate for remedial works how you intend to rectify the issue and apportion a price to it. Simples. In this case I would get customer to contact a ground worker to lay some flexible 100mm ducting from A to B at a depth of not less than 700mm, make sure a draw rope is left in the duct, then you can quote for pulling in SWA (CSA determined via your cable calcs), terminating, testing etc etc. If they don't like the price then that's probably why it was bodged in the first place. Take your money for the EICR and walk away from the sorry situation. Don't become 2nd Lieutenant Bodge....
Also it may have been a good idea not to start stating who can and who cannot comment on your post. It is a forum after all, if you wanted specific answers to you query why not ask a couple of local sparks who you work with face to face, that would avoid all the nonsense stirred up on this thread?
