help with types on cert

[electro]

say i have a rcd

on the cert would u put the rcd at top

then mcb number below it with circuits im testing ?

cheers

You have an RCD.

Beyond that, I'm stumped.

 

[m4tty]

Thats how i was taught to do it James on the Cert

RCD1

Lights Up

Sockets Down

Cooker

RCD2

ETC

It will be easier for others to give the correct advice if you give as much detail as possible on your post James.

The cert what type would help?

such as (a) Minor works. MWC, (B) Periodic PIR, © Installation EIC

lets assume it is option © the EIC...

is it a scheme providers certificate or the model forms from BS7671?

lets assume its the model form EIC starting at page 332 of Big Red?

what page of the form are we talking about?

lets assume schedule of test results page as per pg 341 of Big red!

IF all of my above assumptions are correct then I would use 1 line per each way in the fusebox (CU).

e.g.

If your fuse box is a 12-way board going:-

RCD, MCB, MCB, MCB, MCB, RCD, MCB, MCB, MCB, MCB

I would write my Cert with

line 1 & 2 RCD#1

line 3 MCB#1 and circuit results.

line 4 MCB#2 and circuit results.

line 5 MCB#3 and circuit results.

line 6 MCB#4 and circuit results.

line 7 & 8 RCD#2

line 9 MCB#5 and circuit results.

line 10 MCB#6 and circuit results.

line 11 MCB#7 and circuit results.

line 12 MCB#8 and circuit results.

p.s.

I would be using the NICEIC model of form which have more lines and 90% of the time you can match like for like a 'line of cert' with a 'way in the CU' without the need for continuation sheets.

makes it easy to read and match u with CU later, (such as on assessments! )

was that what you were asking? :| ?:|

yes thank u that wat i ment eg

rcd1 bsen number

socket mcb number

light mcb number ?

 

[bulmer]

Specs,

Whats a 'use box' when its at home?

 

[kme]

OOOOOH.

Now, I wouldn`t.

AFAIAC, the schedule is of "circuits". The RCD, by & of itself, is NOT a circuit. Therefore, I do NOT take up lines of the schedule, writing out anything about the RCD. The box for "RCD operating current" shows if there is an RCD covering the breaker or not.

My opinion, for what its worth......

Not following you there. The RCD is noted in spaces where there is an RCD. You don't fill in results for the RCD in the circuit details for the actual RCD as it isn't a circuit.

What testing have you done so far, both training and in the real world?

i normally use a line on cert for RCD unles there isnt enough room. all other info boxes are crossed out except trip times

that will be a fuse box that is "use'd regularly"

think its in definitions somewhere?

or just me fingers to slow for me brain!

I always put a line in for each RCD (if there is room on the cert).
