help with an electrical installation certificate.

[poolsharkuk]

hi again guys,

I have 2 or 3 questions about the EIC.


Firstly, the “supply protectivedevice characteristics”,


its an old ceramic style rewireablefuse I cannot see any BS-EN numbers on, and I have no way of knowingthe rating, I rang the electricity company and they have no record ofit either, lol
what can I put in the box?


Secondly,
ive installed 2 new circuits (bothradials) on the original 12 way board, a double socket on one, and a13a spur on the other, at the moment nothing is plugged in the socketand nothing is connected to the spur, (there for future use) underthe section “particulars of installation referred to in thiscertificate” ....maximum demand load...! what do I put in there. DoI have to work out the maximum demand of EVERYTHING that is being fedfrom this DB even thou I didnt install it.


Lastly,
the socket and spur are in a hallway ofa commercial premisis do I still have to tick the main protectivebonding conductors and connection verified boxes, if not what can Iput down?


Thanks again guys I hope I havent askedto much of you,

Hi,

can an anyone enlighten us and tell us where the x 0.43 figure comes from please? Thank you.

Tel did not qoute 0.43 he qouted 0.4. The 3 is the third reply.

Thank you.

 

[telectrix]

the 0.4 is just a rule of thumb diversity approximation. .

If that is a cast iron service head with rewireable (3036) fuses, get in touch with the DNO and request a replacement head. Those old heads have been deemed by the powers that be, as dangerous for both householders and DNO workers/contractors. This is a free service BTW. Many of these cast iron heads have been in service well in excess of 65 years. The DNO's have were instructed a good while ago to replace all such heads by Sept 2011, but there are still plenty of them around...
