Hi guys
Completed an EICR yesterday. One of the Sockets Radials had no CPC so R1+R2 plus Zs could not be not be completed. Does anyone know the Regulation supporting this Code 1/2?
I can see 411.3.1.1 but this relates to Lighting. If anyone could assist Id appreciate it, I know its a fault but...
A pull-cord shower switch is located in Zone 2 of a bathroom, including the ceiling base containing the electrical connections. With a little effort it may be possible to get spray from the shower onto the base.
I assume this is a C2, but wondered if anyone here might give it a C3, based on it...

Good afternoon - we're considering adding an additional breaker to our "main service panel" which is where the meter is located. That panel has 6 slots (I guess 12) with 5 double breakers currently. One breaker is 90 amps which feeds our interior panel which has lights, cook top, A/C condensing...
Last year we purchased a home that was built in the late 1990s It has one outbuilding, sort of a barn/shed about 160 feet from the house (and probably closer to 280' from the utility connection on the far side of the home), which has a breaker box in it supplying three 20A circuits (lights on...

second : Roof above bathroom has terrible leaks . Lights spark and buzz etc when raining .Video evidence shown to tester . tester says it not a C1 or C2 as its not...
Recently visited a new build to do a very minor job and spotted a few dodgy looking items so Client asked me to do an EICR.
Following items I found were;
Upstairs and downstairs smoke detectors mains fed but not interlinked, on separate circuits.
downlights open backed and clearly not fire...
Morning All
Qualified electrician, usually stay away from alarms but my friends parents have issues.
Texacom Vertas panel, not worked for over 3 years (since they had the front door changed.
Located the cable and linked out to see if this overcame the issue, it did.
Problem now is that the...
Hi I am carrying out an EICR. I have a garage mini sub DB supplied via 2 x 2.5mm T&E equivalent 5.0mm protected at main DB by a 32A mcb.
I know this is bad practice to install unless using bigger SWA to achieve required csa's in awkward spaces to terminiate.
My question is what code is this? Im...
Hello guys n gals,
Did n EICR other week in a flat where the shower circuit was 40A mcb with RCD protection, 6mm cable. Only about 10M run.
The 8.5kw shower had been replaced by the tenant for a 10.5kw one (old one was still in the cupboard is how I know).
Unusually, the installation supply...
External lighting accessible to the public with no RCD protection
Its a car park for block of flats, lots of 3 foot bollards dotted about
Torn between a C3 or C2
Hi,
I moved into a property 2 years ago with this alarm installed. I know the master code.
A few weeks ago I started getting battery warnings, and then constant panel beeping. At the time I looked for the engineer code in case a reset was needed after self-replacement of the batteries, but...
We have UL 508A for US and C22.2 No. 286 and No.14 code books for Canada. I have seen TEW, THHN wires etc., being used for wiring inside the panel. We have 480V 3 phase and other derived single phase voltages from transformer like 208/120 and 24VDC. We have been using Black TEW for all high AC...
I’m in a venue (U.K.) at the moment which leaves a lot to be desired in pretty much all aspects but in the process of glancing around I spotted this, below. It’s definitely a C2 but I’m curious as to how people would judge that little bit of connector strip as a potential C1. Genuine...
I am only asking for YOUR opinion as to what code should be given in an EICR which sees a dry wall fixing box being used for joints behind a commercial dishwasher where it has been left lying loose on the tiled kitchen floor. I am thinking that it should be fixed up on the wall and inside a...
Hi guys.
Can someone explain what is this? Where are the CPCs connected? I think the black cable connected to the MET have something to do with it.How would you code that?
Did a eicr on a upstairs flat, there is 1 main bonding cable from the consumer unit, the gas pipe comes from the gas meter outside and up the wall and straight through the loft to the other side of the flat and down to the boiler. the gas bonding goes out the db and up to the loft then across...
Hi all . A question for all . With amendment 2 soon live how do we code. The issue of TYPE AC RCCB’s & RCD’s etc these should now be fitted as TYPE A . With suppliers still offering type AC as standard . Should we all fit type A now ?
