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.

    There has been a bit of thread drift here, but concerning risk assessment ...


    My first thought concerning the chocblock was that perhaps copper had been left showing (which would not have been competent under any circumstances), but then it occurred to me that if the suspension wire had been bent back into a loop, its tail could enter the tunnel around a screw. Of course the provision of an enclosure would have avoided the issue altogether.


    Similarly, in respect of the plumber, there can be no excuse for fitting a JB without a lid, but it could have been due to a distraction rather than intentional sloppiness. (Don't buy a car built on a Friday!)


    My point is may a risk assessment assume that previous work has been done competently, or should it assume the worst?
