Shaver Socket

[m4tty]

If a spur was taken from upstairs ring mains to fcu (3a) for a shaver socket in bathroom (upstairs ring on rcd side in cu) What tests need to be done

Thanks

As you're modifying an existing circuit rather than installing a new one a Minor Works Certificate should cover it so you need to prove CPC continuity, do your IR tests, prove polarity, carry out earth loop impedance test & test the RCD.

It may not be required by the certificate but you should satisfy yourself that the installation is earthed & bonded correctly.

MWC as no new circuit, though as it's in a bathroom ist notifiable!

bondings nee to be up to scratch.

test what is asks for on the cert...r1+r2, IR, RCD etc

With the IR test you only need to test from the fcu to shaver socket (new cable) or from the cu to shaver socket?

also can the rcd test be carried out at any socket outlet using the plug adapter for MFT1552

Thanks

yes, as long as it is operating the RCD that the supply you are working on.
