he`s here..Where's the man with the well know saying ...... "you can't educate pork"!
NO!
Read the definitions of C1 and C2 in the books.
It's written in plain English, 'Immediate' and 'Potentially'.
Haha...I'm always calm!
Say there were raised voltages on Exposed parts, one might expect reports of people getting slight shocks.
Then, obviously, an Electrician would be called in to investigate. Still not an Immediate Danger though.
But in the general case, an install in good condition with a missing Earth, is potentially dangerous in the event of a Line to Exposed part fault, hence....C2.
I would consider the lack of an earthing conductor to the MET to be immediately dangerous and hence a C1 (notwithstanding the fact that a fault would have to be present).
Can you get a shock from it all else being well with the installation?
No?
Then it's not immediately dangerous is it!!!

well it aint goin to be a 2..and a pass..is it...lol..C2 and unsatisfactory for continued use IMO
well it aint goin to be a 2..and a pass..is it...lol..
I can't knock you there because at the end of the day it's the inspector who decides what he thinks the code should be and he alone on his engineering assessment codes it, no-one else!. However all guidance on the matter to help the inspector decide points towards it being a C2 ....

You're right!
That's it! From now on, no 30mA RCD for additional protection gets a C1 from me!

I can't help playing devils advocate on this one.Can you get a shock from it all else being well with the installation?
No?

dont tell me you`v come to your senses D...lol...You're right!

no your quite right..Steady on, thats not given you carte blanche to do what you want!
no your quite right..
he needs to attend a course to do that..
about 5 weeks i think...
well definately a bolt on then..Nah!!! you both need to do your 14th edition to bring you in line.:tongue3:
