rcd protection

[davesparks]

Are you an electrician?

OCPD is overcurrent protective device. Also known as a fuse or circuit breaker.

So if I have read this right you have a 16mm SWA connected directly to the meter, then jointed to a bit of 16mm T&E which then continues to the CU??

You have broken many regulations if this is the case!
There cannot be more than 3mtrs of conductor between the meter and the first bit of switchgear whether that is the CU or a switchfuse to feed a submain.

The cpc in T&E is not big enough for a main bond so is undersized to feed the CU

What have you fitted the SWA gland to at the meter end and how have you earthed the armour?

what i meant was due to old consumer unit being moved due to new kitchen.

I ran 16mm pvc from mains income cupboard outside through wall which came out in 2 zones, it went up wall 50 mm deep in capping vertically behind cooker hood run.

Then it was about a metre then into loft across then down trunking to new board the 16mm was in zone with skt outlet to plug in hood which would be behind the vertical vent cover.

The people doing the kitchen knew it was there agreed to use grease filters, and not vent outside as vent would be higher than the skt for hood, they after id gone dug out ring main for hood, along with 16mm cut a 2 brick hole for vent, leaving no where for cables to go.

They then cut mains thinking it was cooker cable, with the intention of reconnecting themselves when it went bang, i got blame so as to try to help, i had no choice to but to go in swa outside upto loft height then back in and swapped back to 16mm pvc they now are saying this is wrong i believe I've done it correctly as it was in first place

Its still written by a 7 year old!

Just imagine being a customer and getting a quote from this dude!!! Combo of txt speak, bad grammar, and no punctuation. Seriously how would you ever get any work if this is the quality of your communication? it's a riddle within an enigma.....or a google translation from Swahili!!!

Would you like to edit your post, adding punctuation? paragraphs? and make it readable?

Agree, hard to read and understand
