test & inspection meter -tail codes

[fixit4u]

i have been away from test/ inspection for a while and have got 3 months work on student properties ready for the new year.

I am enquiring about the meter tails, most of the propties will prob be 16mm tails and 10mm earthing so on the forms would i be correct by putting this a code 3 ,

will have a read up before next week so should be ok with the other codes but just unsure over the tails business

thanx for any replies folks

im not sure if i am right but if the main cut out fuse is 100amp i would put it down as c2 and and if its an 80 amp i dont see what would be wrong with it

You could code it C3 but unless the supply is 100A and/ or TNCS then it is very likely to be fine.
If there is no sign of damage in a long term installation then it could be noted on the cert but not coded.

Difficult to know unless you pull the fuse. As far as I have been informed what is marked on the fuse holder aint always what it is.

if its marked as 80 then you have to take it as that and if it turns out later that its a 100 then its DNO problem as they install it and its their equipment
