Just a thought

[graham123]

I have come across a few Eicr certs recently where when the supply to the Db comes straight from the service cutout people have put "REC" am I missing somthing here? Can't seem to work out what that stands for and I have seen it numerours times. I normally put cutout or service supply etc

Hi

I thought they put this were a REC isolator is present?

I could be wrong

It’s shorthand for Regional Electricity Company. It’s what we used to call the D.N.O. in the olden days.

Yep, where please. Can't think which box you would put that in. But it is Friday afternoon though!

 

[telectrix]

the box that says "supplied from"?

This is the NAPIT eicr form I use:



So dunno know where I would put dno or rec....

Now now Kam, take the tablets that the nurse gives you and do what the orderly says.

Kamikaze is only 23 years old by the way! :rofl:

The box on the sotr where you fill in where the DB is supplied from. Either the origin or the DB& circuit number of the submain feeding it

Do you mean here:



Because that's if it's a sub board. Maybe I am missing something....or slightly different forms..

Yes, that's the one, the bit about only filling it in if it is not at the origin doesn't appear on most forms.

Ok.

Thanks Dave.

I think I would be inclined to put 'main intake' possibly... Or maybe 'its bloody obvious' !!

Funny enough, this thread got me thinking about the olden days. We never had any need to write REC in any of the origin boxes of the test sheets. If we did a board change or anything that involved removing the bullet. We would simply go ahead and do it, then ring one of the engineers at the REC and give them the lowdown of what was occurring and within a couple of hours one of their lad would pop round and refit the seals. Then the whole country went to the dogs and Ikea started providing the water, Severn Trent provided the telephones, British Telecom provided the gas and D. W. Cockyearn provided advice on equipotential bonding etc…etc. It was then that I got addicted to the IDGAF pills! :wink_smile:

You are wise beyond your years young man!!

'Origin' is arguably the correct term for it. 'REC' suggests that the person filling it in is well and truly stuck in the past and hasn't kept up to date or possibly doesn't understand how to fill the paperwork in.

A name’s a name (See Shakespeare). What matters not is what you call it but whether you understand it. As long as you understand the object, it doesn’t matter what you call it.



On a side note! It always seemed odd to me to request information that can only be obtained by breaking the law. Do any of my learned friends know of anyone prosecuted for cutting the seal on the main cut-out fuse to obtain the information requested on the paperwork?
