    testing code for ferrous consumer unit

    Hi davesparks, Thanks for your reply which backed up my thoughts.Although I did opt for improvement recommended to bring the installation to comply with the regulations. The consumer unit has been this way for about 15 years so I could not see how the lead electrician thought this was...

    testing code for ferrous consumer unit

    Hi we did a report today and the tails to the mk metal metal consumer unit were through two separate 20mm knockouts. We are now arguing if this should be C2 or C3. Also the main earth entered through the back of the unit. Any thoughts on this ?.

Also there is no point in testing pyro until both ends are terminated, after terminating, do ir test,if slightly low wait 24...

    Periodic Rewirable Board

    I agree with bigbreakfast, bearing in mind you are testing to the 17th edition, this does not preclude installations to a previous edition which would not be to current standards although under the standard it was installed is still fit for purpose.
