EICR code for an ELCB.

A TT installation with an ELCB in the tails upfront of a metal consumer unit with a main switch and single pole 30 mA RCBOs for each individual circuit.


How would you code it for an EICR?


Take your time having a proper look at it before announcing your decision.

  • Presuming that the ELCB works, then in my view it is debateable if this merits "requires improvement" or the lesser "not compliant with current regulations"


    However I think that there is a more serious issue, looks like reversed polarity from the small area of inner blue insulation on the tail connected to the side of the ELCB that is connected to the red meter tail. If this IS what it looks like, then that in my view is "immediately dangerous"

    If the polarity is in fact correct but simply the wrong colour cable has been used, then it would be good practice to mark the cables with tape that corresponds to the actual function.
