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

    One thought is that I am quite glad I do not get involved in domestic wiring professionally these days.

    Certainly the second installation is dog rough, but the question was about the inspections, and we do not really see what I would consider a by the book inspection.  

    Much as it is fun to plug in socket testers and not be sure what fault you are dealing with, there are better ways. ~I hope there is more some more technical stuff being done in addition to that recorded on video, and I rather hope some of that was for the camera, as the operation appears a bit gung-ho.

    Equally I agree with comments that at least some parts of that one would be easier to recommend to redo than to sort out.

     

    Edit

    The first one looks clean. Most of his observations are reasonable. There may not really be a need to change the CU, but it may be an easy thing to recommend. Not sure I'd even contemplate lifting the bonding at the PME head for a test,   but I suppose there are cases where it makes sense.  I may differ on  how serious the bathroom light is, but I am not there and cannot see it.

    Mike.
