Hi. I hope you are all well and keeping busy in these strange times. I look after a ladies house who has had to move back abroad and now needs to let the property out and so she has had an EICR done which has come back with saying it needs a total rewire for few grand. 


What I want to know is can I ask info on here about the codes he has put and if reasonable.


I don't won't to upset anyone by second guessing another trades persons work but I would like an idea if this is right or not?


Thanks you


Regards Lee

    Max permitted Zs column isn't right. Max Zs for a 30 A BS 3036 fuse is 1.04 Ω (Table 41.2).

    That's 'cos they've decided that 5s disconnection times are appropriate for all the final circuits ?


    It's complete nonsense (he said politely).


       - Andy.




    The entry for the maximum Zs is generated automatically after you enter the disconnection time, type and rating of the fuse or circuit breaker.


    As I said above if you correctly complete the schedule of inspections the observations are entered ready for you to edit with references.


    Use the software properly and you end up with a report in which everything tallies up and makes sense, unlike this one.
