Find out where r2 has gone open and repair it.

No i mean what C2 observations does that go under in the schedule of inspections
thanks

There is no specific observation for ring circuit continuity.

You could maybe use "connections soundly made..." Under. 5.17.

Reg. 643.2.1 applies.

I'd FI it if i wasn't going to take a look there and then.

It's not the result of an inspection but of testing so the Schedule of Inspections isn't relevant to the observation.

On Napit's paper form you can list it in section 8:


Yes, I'd C2 it.

Ah ok. Have you got:
5.5 Adequacy of cables for current-carrying capacity with regard for the type and nature of installation (Section 523)

As effectively you have two undersized radials hanging off a B32.

The fault has been identified as warranting a C2.
No further investigation required.
Future fault finding with a view to correcting a fault is not the same thing as FI.

Valid point, and i see where you're coming from. ?

I was also reminded of this yesterday, focussing on coding the fault not the fix seems to make it clearer in my befuddled brain...
(In my case high Zs on lighting circuit at every point)
