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.

    well downgrading the VOELCB to an in-line isolator is cheap but electrically OK, if the RCD function is provided elsewhere. The reverse polarity is unforgivable however, and really dangerous especially as the RCBOs are single pole breaking any L-E fault (black to CPC in this case) has the full company fuse to offer.

    Now dare we ask about the electrode impedance ?


    also it looks like the blue and brown side is the meter, not the CU, I presume there is more crossing over out of shot ?
