To those following this thread....
I'm having a mare already. Slight disagreement between myself and the old boy caretaker about what i'm coding the EICR. (he used to be a spark back in the 80's i think, and has done some of the maintenance before he got too old)
Ill not divulge straight away, but simply ask you guys to convince me im not going soft.
Taking the cafe as an example. What would you code, remembering all the large metallic appliances. Kitchen staff, but members of the general public in the seating area in the vicinity of sockets and heaters.
Old circuits are still on BS88 fuses.
Every light on the same fuse.
The 3 phase oven on 3 separate fuses. (although only single phase loads. Loss of one phase isn't going to cause massive problems)
The other distribution boards are much the same.... old bs88's in some places... fuse wire in others.
Some "upgraded" to circuit breakers, but there are very few RCD's across the whole site.... even in the modernised areas.
I don't want to come across as touting for work, but at what point do you have to say, look, this is unacceptable these days.... especially with public being able to access parts of it.
