Videos of EICRs on Youtube

David Stone

I am interested in comments from anyone on the youtube videos, there are several purporting to show EICR procedures. As most know I am currently researching this, and am collecting data.

Kind regards

    Colin, you are suggesting that this is potentially dangerous. Why? If you are reasonably risk-averse you will use an RCD plug, if not why do you care? I assume you are going for idiot-proof protection, but most of us do not need this. If you have no knowledge of RCD protection, what is your reason to want it? It is fairly easy not to run over the cable with the lawnmower, but I have a petrol one! It has not exploded to date, despite having covered many hundreds of hectares. In fact, I have many tools which in idiot's hands could do me harm, but so far none has succeeded. Is life fundamentally safe? NO!

    Dave - you seem to be making this somewhat personal - Andy SparkingChip is just following industry standard guidance which says “Absence of RCD protection for portable or mobile equipment that may reasonably be expected to be used outdoors” is a C2.  You may or may not not like the guidance, but don't shoot the messenger as it were.

       - Andy.
