Discuss Fitting new consumer board - no part p? in the Electricians' Talk area at ElectriciansForums.net
So you say thatHi guys my friends ask me to replace his consumer board Ive been qualified for a year or so have my nvq level 3
Then you say you're going to rely on the bang test.There's no one living in it at the moment so power can stay off if there is a fault
So what are you going to do when the RCDs are tripping?
if its notifiable work, you'll have to be with a competent person scheme, if your just changing accessories like for like then not, consumer is notifiable...
Not strictly true.
Take them out and stick a double pole switch in of course :biggrin:So what are you going to do when the RCDs are tripping?
Rollox, don't lie, we are not like you, we actually have intelligence.Lol cheers for the replys think ill buy meself a tester before to give it a check then take it from there
Hi all
before part P came in what did you do on a CU change we did the same as every body else 16th edition install all circuits turn it on if RCD holds the system was fine.
Only difference now is part P & don't get me wrong I am all for it as long at it policed properly which it's not. I still know people who do cash installs who do a couple of test mainly LE Ne M ohms & earth tests & F... All else. It still goes on.

Wind Up or moron?
I can assure you that before part p was introduced the vast majority of electricians worth their salt did exactly the same as they're doing now.Hi all

I would agree with you 30 odd years ago, and I won't say why just yet (privatisation is the clue).Hi all

I'm interested to know what "pre-checks" you undertake (rather than a full test), prior to replacing the board - Ze, Polarity, IR each circuit, check main bonding etc?
Agreed. I just wondered what others do as I do a quick I&T before I commence the work, but I know others "gamble" on it being all okay.
Just out of interest what is meant by "global L + N to Earth"? Are you merely meaning you only do L + N to E 250v IR rather than also doing L to N on each circuit?
Suitable tests to give you an indication that you don't have any pre-existing faults or a shared neutral situation between up and down stairs lighting circuits. Failure to do pre-testing can lead to a whole lot of problems on a CU change with RCD's tripping etc.
And typically just as you were thinking of or looking forward to going home too... lol!!
just send an email. tell it to keep it's head.
Calm down, it is only a rugby match :biggrin:crack on m8 every tom dick or harry is having a go anyway ,Part **** is a joke.
we,ve all see the thousands of prosecutions for failing to notify building control.
every year i wonder why i bother paying for this shambles
At least they made an effort. I've seen a few times an RCD in the board just bypassed because 'they' didn't know what to do!Or even worse, I've seen the RCD installed but unresponsive, some nugget had actually cracked it in half along the seam of the casing and bodged a piece of 16mm cable to bridge the top and bottom. And TAPED it together.
