Evening chaps & chapesses!
Just thought I would throw this one out to bounce around a bit....
replacing a faulty damaged accessory or bit of cable is a Like-4-Like replacment... even if a part p special notifiable location....
How much of a circuit could be replaced before it is no longer classed as Like-4-Like??? ?:|
e.g. did a cooker circuit today background as follows:-
Customer had CU replaced within past 18months...
needs other circuits replaced but widowed and can't afford all work in one go.
Everything on the cooker circuit after the existing MCB onward needed replacing...
Cable, (old rubber TRS!: O)
45A isolator (inc 13A socket),
Connector plate.
very short run...
from under stairs under wooden floor up into kitchen other side of wall..
PVC trunking up wall, (all cable routes surface. No cables buried in walls)
I guessed its was no more than 4.5 metres...
but R1+R2 = 0.04. 6.0mmT&E calcs to 3.8m.. (SHORT RUN!!!!) :^O
SO....
Can this be classed as like for like...
is it notifiable or not...
would you do MWC or EIC????
my gut feeling is stick a MWC.. but notify it as well... couple of quid wont break the bank!
seam's more cost to waste a full EIC?? ?:| ? :|
