The new condition report is attached to an earlier posting by me on this thread
the list certainly is different from the Electrical Safety council Periodic Inspection Reporting Best Practice Guide.PIR Recomendation codes sheet worth printing out and sticking in your T&I kit
If you undertake a PIR in a domestic property and identify a shower circuit does not have a 30mA RCD on it but is cross bonded what code would you give this?
What code would you give an installation with old circuit breakers rated to 3000A and PFC is 3400?????
depends on the suppliers protective device
The PDF that Steve has sourced is the ESC version 2a - and is the same version as on their website. It blabbers on about sockets likely to be powering outdoor equipment. I wish the ESC ( or a another ) would issue a more recent version that addresses the issues TODAY. For Example is the lack of an RCD on the lighting circuit a Code 1 , Code 2 , Code 3 or Code 4. Please help ...
That's why I'm asking the question - It is not my opinion that counts - it is the Regs opinion - I can have a personal opinion but when that opinion has a huge financial impact - it is not appropriate to have a personal opinion - the opinion has to be a universal opinion - hence my addition to this thread.
So your comment about questioning my knowledge is not appropriate - I just need a little guidance as to what others consider appropriate Codes for Lighting circuits without RCD protection. Maybe the penny hasn't dropped with me - but it is obviously a Code 4 issue, but was just wondering whether it should be any higher.
Thanks WirePuller - You say that 'plenty of lighting circuits do not require RCD protection' - I think the opposite - I can't think of many older installations that would meet the criteria of not requiring an RCD. Plently unearthed conduiting or cables plastered straight into the walls less than 50mm. Therefore most would require an RCD ie Code 2. Hence my original post ...
