Hi all,
I recently did some work at a property that had no main earthing conductor, however the installation was using the water pipes as the main earth path, so i immediately installed an earth rod, converting the system to TT.
The consumer unit is an old rewirable with the shed circuit rammed in with the shower circuit, pretty dodgy really, should I advise the client to change the consumer unit to a split board RCD and test all circuits, or would a 100ma main switch be sufficient with this install, if so, would I need to test only the main RCD on completion? Is a certificate required for the installation of the main RCD?
I appreciate all your suggestions
Thanks
