RCBO Neutral Leads bunched with Main Neutral in Main switch - C3 or C2?

[LeeBurns1979]

Hi all,

Engineer carried out EICR and marked the above as a C2, I agree, the smaller cables could come loose easily as the terminal is mainly clamping the 16mm tail. Client said C3....

So these conductors are bunched along with the supply neutral at the main terminal and not the neutral bar, does the board have a main switch.

Hi, a previous engineer has I assume carried out a test and the 1st two circuits, Fridge and Smoke Alarms, they have decided to put these two on RCBO's. The board only has two Neutral bars for the two RCD's (this is a dual RCD board) they have terminated the neutral leads in with the 16mm Tail incomer in the main switch?

Since when does the Client decide?

Ah I get it now. What has been done is incorrect, the consumer unit has been altered beyond the manufacturers instructions and the main switch no longer fully isolates the neutral conductors.

Since they have letters after their name lol

Having letters after someone's name shouldn't influence your decision on a saftey issue!
Or before for that matter as in Sir or Lord!

Totally agree, however Lord and Sir would come before someones name, lol
I'm happy its a C2.

Isn't that what I said - second line 'Or Before ....'
