testing new and old db

[bobbyr]

Hi Again Guys,

I've just wired a garage unit and have fed It from a 32A MCB from the main cu in the house, so its a new circuit. I have tested the new unit and all is fine. The question I have is.. Do I have to test all circuits in the original cu as well and record results on the same test schedule as the garage one?

There are no records/certs/charts for the original cu.

Thank you all in advance

Just make sure you label your new circuit!

I have

Yes.

As for the Chint - is that a spelling mistake as I think they are shint!

One tip for you when filling out the EIC for the "existing" CU, where the CU has existing circuits put "used" against these circuits, fill out the full details for your new circuit, and use "spare" for any remaining circuits.

Then on the sheet for your new CU in the garage fill out the cert for your new circuits, then "spare" for any unused.

Hope this helps.

What if you regularly add odd circuits to large DB's, say, 16way, 3 phase. Don't think I'd be doing circuit details and test results with fifty 'used' and 'spare' lines...:biggrin:

Most of is doing that kind of thing use software to fill in certs, so you can just fill in your new circuit details then fill in one of the others a used and copy that to all the blanks.

Precisely.

Select "all results" when copying, remove previous line(s), add new details, job done.

First line of schedule of test results lists the sub main

The second the circuits on the garage DB
