Code for a concentric cable on domestic EICR ?

aligarjon

Hi guys.  How would you code a Concentric cable feeding a detached domestic garage.  Cable is i believe a short run under a tarmac drive although i can't find the house connection ( probably behind kitchen cupboards ). There is plenty wrong with how it has been connected but specifically the use of the cable. I was thinking a C3 as i don't think it's dangerous as unlikely to be damaged in the ground because of the tarmac.  Any thoughts please.  

Thanks Gary

    So obviously the way it is terminated is terrible. The cable is under ground below tarmac so won't be dug by accident unless they redo the drive. Probably only under ground a meter or so. So potentially it could be reused without digging drive up ?

    I agree it is dog rough - at the very least there should be an enclosure around that RCD the exposed live is a C1. But if N and E can be kept separate then it could be remade neatly in a proper containment,  and re-used. It may then score a C3 on someone else's radar but we already know its not quite what we would do if we had a clean sheet installation.
