NICEIC consumer unit labels

Former Community Member

Hi


I am looking to add some labels similar to the NICEC one bellow prior to my Napit assessment and I am unsure what value is expected in the box for maximum disconnect time.

Does any one know if it should be Circuit breaker disconnect time, *1 or *5 time for the RCD?


Also for the box for type of wiring I assume they are looking for T+E, SGL, SWA etc.


Thanks


Alan

    Thanks all for the comments and advice


    Just to confirm the bit you are showing does say maximum disconnect time.

    Looks like you agree with my first thought of stating 0.4 S for a TN system in my case. Also looking carefully it's asking for number of seconds rather than mS, therefore also implying this is whats required.


    The codes for type of wiring are interesting, in my training I haven't seen this so far. As the form doesn't have a key for the codes and this is just an NICEIC thing rather than a standard I think it will just cause confusion.

    I am just going to squeeze in T+E or SGL for singles or leave it blank as it's fairly obvious anyway.
