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?

    . . . As the IR figures were really low (0.42mohms), do I quote not to get the job, quote to get the job and hope the IR is good after all or quite and include extra for the extra remedial work and if not needed, don’t charge? . . . 




    The whole idea of the pre-tests is so that you can give your customer a reasonably accurate quote. Whether or not you choose to ignore / believe the figures you have is a business decision by you. What is your contingency for example if you do just a board change, then are unable to get the rcds to stay closed, so your customer is without light and / or power?
