Hi everyone

I've recently come across a Rcd unswitched fused spur, acting as DB at the origin, which only feeds a small communal lighting circuit, my opinion this still right but not always ideal

 

[Richard Burns]

It has an RCD and a fuse so long as the CPD is suitable for the supply and the load then there is no problem.

Something fishy about that FCU installation!! It looks like a MC face plate has been chopped about, and fitted behind the plastic FCU face plate!! Or are my eyes playing tricks with me?? lol!!

Agree with Richard.

Trivial point i know, and please correct me if im being dumb - but whats with the recommended test date 3months later? It's not a construction site is it...

 

[sparkymalarky]

Maybe the previous inspector is confusing the quarterly test button functional test as an EICR...long shot lol

I know what it is, and why they have done it. But would still love to see what sort of chopping out has taken place to that back blank (assumed) face plate!! Wiring wise, it looks as if it's also going to be pretty crowded in that back box too!! lol!!

There isnt a 'back blank face plate' !!...the FCU is fitted straight onto the back box!!......it just happens to be a box designed for MK plates only.
