Recommended checks before CU change

Former Community Member
Former Community Member
As most of you know I’ve only been qualified for just over a year and I’ve got a quote to do for a cu upgrade.


I know I’m nowhere experienced enough to do EICR’s yet, but what would you guys recommend I check/test before doing the cu upgrade and should I do these checks/tests at the quote stage?

    There is a reason for not working with things open and the power on if you can avoid it - why was the exposed tail live? Or, why was the live tail exposed? Please take care, we'd like you to be able to write posts on here  at the end of the job as well as the beginning!


    I have been known to fashion some  temporary insulation in places where touchable live copper looked too risky. Even a bit of chopped up water bottle (clean and dry) cable tied or taped over  something  can reduce the risk of tools falling on a live bus, or a stray back of hand touching something until it can be re-instated properly.
