    RCD testing

    Hello all. Can anyone inform me on what the latest guidance on the frequency of RCD testing is? I test my RCD's annually and record the x1/2, x1 and x5 trip and 0-180degrees annually, and replace failures. I also carry out a functional test whilst I'm doing this, and then a further functional...

    Amending EICR report from unsatisfactory to satisfactory

    That's interesting. So in your opinion, the previous NICEIC testers were incorrect in re-issuing the cert as SATISFACTORY?

    Amending EICR report from unsatisfactory to satisfactory

    So I've recently had an EICR for my building. Came back with about 20 odd C2 remedials and a few F1's which resulted in UNSATISFACTORY being written on the report which you'd expect. Completed all the remedials and the QS has come back and passed them all off, but will not put SATISFACTORY on...

    EICR FI faults holding up Satisfactory certificate.

    Just had an EICR, and the tester won't provide a satisfactory certificate until FI faults are corrected. These mainly consist of locating circuits that they didn't test. On the last EICR that took place at my site (17th edition) I recall the rectification of C1 and C2 faults being sufficient...

    Schneider CCT15720 Time Clock Wiring

    I can see this is quite an old post but I'm looking after a building and I have one of these units controlling my external lights and its working in reverse, ie- when you set the time for the lights to be on, they're off. Any ideas?

    Intermittent tripping MCB

    Went to look at the job and on the very last socket I opened up, the socket was indeed tripping from a leak. The cause of this was a heating pipe which I think must be weeping from an elbow. This validated the intermittent faults as the heating was only put on every now and again this causing...

    Intermittent tripping MCB

    Thanks for all your responses. My father in law has had an electrician out three times and he's been unable to solve it. I'm also a qualified Electrician and was just looking to pick some brains, so I'm sure I'll be able to resolve the issue. I'll keep you posted.

    Intermittent tripping MCB

    This is the downstairs ring that feeds the sitting and dining room; no Fridges, Kettles or Washing machines supplied. Mike, No. The MCB has been tripping for about 3 months but up until yesterday it hadn't tripped for 3 weeks with all the accessories/appliances connected.

    Intermittent tripping MCB

    I’ve a fuseboard as pictured, which has been nuisance tripping on the downstairs ring final circuit. It started off with 32a breaker tripping which is RCD protected, and now it’s tripping the Main RCD switch. This is a relative's property and he’s already had an electrician in, who’s ran a...

    Emergency Lighting query

    Thanks for your response everyone, you've been a great help. The site had a periodic inspection and passed without and defects. Previous to that it has passed rigorous inspection by independent certifiers. Thanks though.
