VRF Equipment fed off local Lighting Circuits

Eddie Currents
What are your thoughts with VRF Equipment being fed off local Lighting circuits – For me not good practice and strongly oppose this but i cannot find a Clause anywhere in the new Regulations. Has anyone ever come across this before or am i being too pedantic ? The VRF Units will have local isolation but for me its still a problem as you will lose your Lighting if you need to switch off at the Breaker for any reason like switching for Mechanical Maintenance.

    Ah! Every day I am visually risk assessing absolutely dreadful electrical installation work.


    Some years ago I walked out of a job and lost two days pay to work In a bungalow, because the customer had another guy who was moonlighting from a major electrical company who had installed lights and a new shower in such a dangerous condition that I refused to finish the work I was doing and simply walked away announcing that I was not going to be involved with taking any assumed responsibility due to being there at the same time.


    It sounds to me that the isolation of single items of equipment is the least of your worries, the installation just needs shutting down, even to do something as simple as changing a light fitting, because you have recorded  safety issues.
