Agree Steps, however it is one way of proving competance?

I usually put 1666 ohms (for a 30mA RCD). My assesor is quite happy with this. If I record the tabulated value and then record the actual reading obtained, Easycert usually flags it up. So in my opinion it is acceptable to record the 1666 ohms value. GS

Thanks Side. I will be installing a few systems in the next few months (from engineers drawings) So basically I don't actually have to measure the lux levels? GS

Just looking through some of the Tysoft certs earlier. Emergency lighting cert. Where it asks for the instrument number of the meter used to measure the lux levels. It states "Where verification requirement V8 is carried out by measurement, details of instruments MUST be recorded" What other...

Evening all. I am planning on installing a Rafiki Twinflex fire alarm system. 2 Zone panel, few smokes/MCP's etc. Due to the nature of the building I was interested in knowing whether it would be possible to install a couple of wireless MCP's. As far as I am aware Rafiki don't make any...

Does anybody know if Easycert's latest version includes the "electrical installation condition report"? GS

Do the instructions mention a 3A fused spur? The fan wont use much more than a standard 100W lamp. Dont think i'd bother with the fused spur. GS

The Fused spur will have to be accessible. Butt it up to the ceiling? GS

Welcome to the forum! Installation resistance or insulation resistance? What about RCD trip times, Earth loop impedance & PFC?

Something else to concider. You will obviously have more than 1 board. What type of sub main will you be running to each board? I'd assume it would have to be armored cable as RCD protection on the sub main could leave a floor without lights or power should a fault occur. Unless of course the...

Evening all When I first installed Tysoft Easycert a while back it gave me the option of what type of cert i wanted. Bog standard, NIC over print, Red NIC cert etc. At the time I chose the standard blue cert. Does anybody know how I can change this to a Red NIC cert without having to re...

As far as the bonding goes, I would agree with ADS' post (no 15). But I assume this is not the route you have decided to take Side? You said that the boiler is on the ground floor? What is above the boiler? as in on the 1st floor? Cheers. GS

What are the main changes anyway? Not had a chance to to have a good look! GS

I already have mate. Recieved an email from them saying "Sorry where really struggling to find a price" So thats the last I'll hear about that. I'm going to try another couple today. Thanks. Don't think they do Polycarb FCU's do they? Its for a school Side, half the place already has polycarb...

Evening all. I am after some impact resistant sockets, switches FCU's etc. I have had a look around and found the Clipsal polycarbonate range would be suitible. Does anybody know where stocks the Clipsal range? Or can anybody recomend any polycarbonate accessories? Cheers GS

Interesting posts. Thanks for all the replies & opinions. So maybe its best to install 10mm main protective bonding conductors to all services entering the property regardless of whether they're plastic or not. That way everybody's happy. The only time it may become a bit of an issue is...

Sorry, I mean the service entering the property is plastic. Therefore not concidered to be an extraneous conductive Part

This is what I thaught. Seems like everybody has different opintions/views on the subject. If you have a plastic feeder pipe and you are only bonding the internal metal work to ensure it is at 0 potential then would you still bond it 600mm from where it enters the peoperty? Would there be any...

I have recently carried out maintenance work on some new build properties. Plastic water supply and plastic gas supply entering property. Pipework from water stop tap and gas valve is in copper. On all the properties there is a 10mm earth conductor from the MET to the water supply and the gas...

Is your inbox full? PM'd you a couple of times but dont think it has sent as the message does not appear in the "sent" folder? GS
