Eicr

[The apprentice]

Doing an eicr within a mechanical work shop coding on this guys what’s your views? Copper showing of tails c1 single insulated tails not mechanically protected ?

 

[timhoward]

First impression, without thinking too long about it...
C2 for the single insulated tails, seems to apply to other henley blocks too
Another C1 if it's possible to actually touch that copper, otherwise C2

(IMHO quicker to fix the exposed copper tail than code it if client is willing.)

As above would take 5 minutes to re-terminate , if the job allows for reactive remedies

 

[timhoward]

I always try and get permission to fix small quick things. Rarely is this refused!
My pet hate is seeing "Missing 2 Colours sticker" or "Missing RCD Test Label" on a report, I want to scream "just slap one on!"

Get this a lot mate with stickers etc, due to this being in full production it’s a bit harder to just shut stuff down so arranged with clients for a sat morning shut down quick fix

Bit concerning the poor IP ratings on the Henley blocks.

Yeah, think I’d want to see from directly above to be sure, they sometimes have tunnels and another hole.

Looking at the henley block in the foreground of the picture is the bottom corner damaged or has it become brittle due to the material aging

Yep good shout. This is fast becoming "replace Henley blocks"

Heads up for the OP, don't mount new ones on the wall neatly touching each other, you won't get the covers on afterwards!
Never done that, honest ?

They are service terminal blocks?

[westward10]

They aren't even made by Henley.

Well that’s what I’ve always bn told they are

It's like the old Hoover thing.

It is a brand name as @DPG says with Hoover. In technical reports I like to see correct terminology and they are service terminal/connector blocks.

I agree really, it's just quicker to type Henley in the school playground forum.
