[QUOTE="Manator, post: 419718, member: 9561"] [USER=8133]@Phoenix[/USER] Overall that is not a bad assumption, I just wished I had a better camera on my phone. The C2 that I wanted people to spot was the immersion heater, I have seen people miss this on many EICR reports. The 4293 if you noticed was a 63A 0.1A so its a 100mA RCD which is a current operated earth leakage RCD. The insulation on the lighting was not disturbed at the light fittings but I concurred that the insulation had indeed broken down at all the light fittings due to 55 years of heat. Any light fittings changed would or could make the cable useless for future use. The socket circuit failed the max Zs for the breaker and as it is a 100mA RCD could not be trusted to operate within any time if in contact with any person. As I say it is not a test, just a useful exercise. My main issues were with the reduced cpc of the cable, I am trying to find out if this was normal as in just after the war was the cpc reduced to save money? I am not sure but would like to find out. I am going back to the property and will take my verniers with me on the next visit to double check. [/QUOTE]
