[QUOTE="AJS87, post: 522120, member: 34371"] Carrying out an EICR on a farm and just after some advice regarding my codes. This is only the supply to the barns. House has a separate supply. TT arrangement with an electrode, although tbh the steelwork will be acting as the earth. 100mA upfront and 30mA protecting relevant circuits. All Zs readings are within for the RCDs and very good for a TT. This was inspected 3 years ago. Photos 1-3 C3 - Switchgear and trunking system has signs of corrosion from the external influences. C3 - Poor workmanship has been carried out to the Earthing / bonding connection. (Ze reading 22 Ohms) C3 - 6mm conductors looped from adjacent MCB are protected by 63A MCB, however unlikely to be overloaded due to C20 MCB. I have some queries regarding Photos 4-5 D.B. has asbestos flash guards - C3? C2 - Users are presented with live parts upon fuses tripping. C2 - Single OCPD does not isolate all 3 phases. How do I verify the sizes of the fuse wires? Breaking capacity etc? Any help would be appreciated…….although I’m sure there’ll be plenty of criticism too! ✌🏻 [/QUOTE]
