    Lighting circuit with no CPC, fail???

    Hi Guys, Just been to do a Condition report on a 30 year old installation. Both lighting circuits are wired in twin stranded steel cable with no CPC. The insulation test is good, but with the lack of CPC, and brass accessories, would you consider this as 'Satisfactory'. No RCD on lighting...

    Lighting with no CPC and installing new CU (Domestic)

    I have the ESC’s guide to replacing a CU where the lighting circuits have no CPC, and this says the initial approach should be to persuade the customer to upgrade the circuit to provide CPCs. If that fails, the guide then includes a risk assessment table (at the back), where it is allowed to...

    Lighting circuit with no cpc

    If on a EICR you were to come across lighting with no cpcs. Is this acceptable. Presumably if it's all plastic ad class II products and fittings then maybe it could be but I'm think really it will need cpcs to be run with it. Even at light switch withe tak backbones as in the event of a fault...

    PME install, no CPC

    Hi guys, I've been called to look at a flat in north London. The flat is in a converted piano factory. Looking at the CU, perhaps installed in the 70's or 80's, it has a CPC. All good. Under the CU is a termination box of some description. The tails come up, through metal conduit, into...

    CU change in house with no CPC on the lighting circuit

    OK, not trying to be contencious but I'm after opinions about the following: Customer selling house, lighting circuits do not have CPC's, and they have 3 class 1 light fittings. They will willingly change the fittings for class II. Would you change the CU for a RCD type and label up the CU...

    Lighting with no CPC

    I have carried out a PIR on a domestic property which has an old Wylex rewirable fuses and there is no cpc to the lighting circuits which I have recommended improvement. The question is if they just want the DB upgrading is it possible to leave the lighting with a note on the EIC? All wiring is PVC.

    Minor Works Cert - No CPC

    I've just installed a couple of additional 12v down lights and changed extractor fan in a bathroom. The lighting circuit is one with no CPC. How would you complete a MEW? Obviously tests are limited in this case, but where would you use LIM, X, - etc in the relevant boxes? thanks.

    RFC - no CPC continuity!

    Hi, I have just tested a RFC and the CPC was broken (no continuity). Tested all the socket on that circuits and R1+R2 was OK but I could't open a socket to check, as it was hidden (burried) behind a door frame and it must be a double socket with only one of its switches staring at me. To reach...
