How much to charge for an EICR

[Octopus]

I guess by cutting corners and prolific use of "LIM" and doing the paperwork in the evening

corrected that for you.

Wow! How can 3 get done in a day?

By not being very thorough. Our house had a fault on the ring, it's had two inspections since it was installed (the affected ring was tested apparently) and deemed to be satisfactory because Zs was OK, despite other tests indicating an issue.

When I changed the CU as a result of a fault, I spotted the issue straight away, r2 was way over what I expected to see given r1 and rn. Turned out to be a loose earth connection in one socket that had never been touched since the day it was installed. Took the socket off the wall and the CPCs practically fell out of the terminal.

I thought that a high resistance reading was ok if you have an RCD somewhere , usually as a main switch? Up to a few hundred ohms?

Is zs another name foe resistance ?

What does the z stand for?

A high zs should be checked by confirming R1 + R2

I've just been reading a certain members comments on other threads and have concluded that I am not going to bite any more. Troll was mentioned by another member. I think your right.

I'm sorry you are unwilling to furnish me with the answers to my questions, I thought that the function of this site was to pass on relevant information. Still don't know what a troll is.
