No earth in lighting circuit what next?

[Elliott96]

Im sure this has probably been asked before in this forum but ive just upgraded a fuseboard today and found no earth in the lighting (two core). Obviously the next thing to do would be to tell the customer either rewire or change everything on that circuit to class 2 fittings and accessories, but in this case the customer didnt want to go ahead with either.... what should i do? Cutting the circuit out would be abit extreme?

All in all I think op you have just been very unfortunate with this customer....I’ve never had one yet that when the dangers of no cpc were explained didn’t opt for class 2 fittings...

Well its Monday morning. Hope Elliott got some sleep over the weekend, after some put the heebie-jeebies into him.

Made the weekend fly.

His house was probably raided in the early hours and the police forensic team have been searching for the screwdriver he used to tighten the the lighting cable in the new C/U as evidence at his old Bailey trial.

What needs to happen is what applies in Ireland. It is a criminal offence for an unregistered person to work on any electrical equipment. Any instances found are required to be notified by the electrician to the local Council who will investigate and prosecute in almost every case.

That's the way it should be here too.
