    EICR : Is this a code 2 or not?

    Yeh I agree I just think whoever carried out the EICR seen the 1.5mm and thought straight away it’s protective device is over rated with not even giving consideration to type of cable being used. I also agree the RCBO is there to protect the cable and nothing else, appliances have their own fuse...

    EICR : Is this a code 2 or not?

    That’s exactly my thought process, another option I was considering was to change socket to a spur to make it a fixed appliance so no chance of anything else being plugged in.

    EICR : Is this a code 2 or not?

    Yep, single socket. This was my thinking. Although not a fixed appliance and one could say that an extension lead could be plugged in causing over load, but where the socket is located fixed behind a big heavy grease trap unit which is in turn fixed to stainless catering equipment the chances of...

    EICR : Is this a code 2 or not?

    This is a EICR that has already been carried out by another contractor and we get the remedial works following the test. I have now installed a fused spur next to the board to protect the cable, but I was almost certain that fp could carry the current rating of the protective device feeding it...

    Safety shut off valve for boiler??

    It's not a fcu feeding it, it's a old memshield metal clad isolator with old bs3036 rewireable fuse as the protective device.

    Safety shut off valve for boiler??

    It might well be that it needs a emergency stop installed thinking about it! a inspection was carried out and picked up on the points listed in my first post. I am more than likely swaying towards the emergency stop although there is a isolator 0.5meters away from the boiler. Was just seeing...
