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.

are of particular interest, ignore any comments I may have left, I want your comments.

 

Kind regards

David

    411.3.3 mandates RCD protection for all sockets in dwellings (> 32 A is hardly domestic) and mobile equipment for use outdoors. Mobile equipment includes things on wheels (e.g. pressure washer, lawnmower) and well as portable equipment - anything which may be carried, not just hedge trimmers.

    The mobile equipment does not necessarily need to be connected by plug and socket.

    It could have said that all sockets in outbuildings must be RCD protected, but it doesn't. One might apply C3 for paragraphs (i) and (ii), but 2 x C3 ≠ C2.

    So I don't see why the position of a standard BS 1363 affects the code. I am not afraid of my sockets at home, so I shall stick with C3.
