OP
wozz
i did think this forum was grown up for a while. same old same old.
Discuss EICR Code for no main earth in the Electrical Wiring, Theories and Regulations area at ElectriciansForums.net
I saw an eicr that gave a C2 for t&e cables that were in a chase with no capping/conduit, claiming 'no mechanical protection'. Wtf is the sheath dimlo ?!?!
yeah well they probably had it in their minds that pvc/metal channels are `mechanical protection`...lolHaha no. It was rough, chased out brickwork, no filling. But clipped.
Rough but fine basically
If the installation with no earthing conductor also contained a circuit with high protective conductor currents would that warrant a C1?

he`s here..Where's the man with the well know saying ...... "you can't educate pork"!
NO!
Read the definitions of C1 and C2 in the books.
It's written in plain English, 'Immediate' and 'Potentially'.
Haha...I'm always calm!
Say there were raised voltages on Exposed parts, one might expect reports of people getting slight shocks.
Then, obviously, an Electrician would be called in to investigate. Still not an Immediate Danger though.
But in the general case, an install in good condition with a missing Earth, is potentially dangerous in the event of a Line to Exposed part fault, hence....C2.
I would consider the lack of an earthing conductor to the MET to be immediately dangerous and hence a C1 (notwithstanding the fact that a fault would have to be present).
Can you get a shock from it all else being well with the installation?
No?
Then it's not immediately dangerous is it!!!
