Adding new circuit to old cu

[Kmorgan]

Hi all,

Been watching and reading post's for a while now. I have a question.

When adding a new circuit to a 16th cu with one rcd what labels would You put on the cu. at the moment it has only old colours and rcd but that's it. There is no name of previous installer. Do I put my details on the cu and pir date?

Many thanks for the advice.

Hello K morgan...

welcome to the forumbulator world of posting.....

Guinness

I am going to assume...

1/ you are self employed..

2/ the work HAS or IS going to be notified to LABC...

(new circuits notifiable)

3/ You are a member of either Napt/Elecsa/Nic/Bsi etc....

If all three of the above are true...

I am bit confused as to why you don't know what labels to apply??? :_|

Personally Me as a sole trader ...

I want people to see my name & ring me..

So one of my business contact name stickers ends up on every one the jobs I do some work at!!!

If I have no idea if or when the last PIR was done..

I whack me PIR sticker on with "Unknown" in the last inspection date..

and "ASAP" in the next inspection date.

p.s.

There is NO such thing as a 16th ed CU ..

Or a 17th ed CU....

what do you call a multiple RCD/RCBO CU supplying a TT installation that was installed under 16th edition?

a 17th ed CU cuz it has more than one RCD? ...

NO WE DON'T!!

You can install a job compliant with 17th ed with only one RCD if you cables meet certain criteria!

I recon I could wire a house under the 17th with no RCD's in the board and still comply with the 17th depending on some of the details.

We`ve been there before........................

And back to the O/P - What labels are you thinking should be there,, but aren`t????

I think what the op is trying to say is should they put a PIR sticker on a board when just adding a single circuit.

And the answer is yes, although I really think there should be a better sticker made up when modifying an installation. I usually write down the cert ref on mine, and circuit number affected. But really there should be a better way of doing this, as I doubt in industrial applications where circuits are altered on a daily basis that there are 365 stickers on the db a year.
