Napit EICR Codebreakers

Product Information

If the inspector is removing the front cover and has caused the misalignment, I’d be concerned that the devices and CU were still live as both the main switch and circuit breaker are indicating the ‘on’ position. They may well be isolated elsewhere, which we can’t tell from this picture. Safe isolation is of paramount importance and can’t be stressed enough. Our goal is to provide one stop place for electricians and electrical contractors, but we are happy to help other clients too.

For a different circumstance, it may be that the inspector wishes to choose different observation wordings or a different code, this is a real-world requirement and inspectors always have this option, however it detracts from the level playing field approach that NAPIT is striving to achieve.If the devices themselves were accessible to isolate and reset, there were no signs of mechanical damage, IP infringements, or thermal damage; I would see this as a C3. There is no potential threat to life in this scenario, however, there is room for improvement. It enables the competent electrician to deal with installations (up to 100 A, 3-phase) providing essential information in a convenient, easy-to-use format.

Electrical Heating, Ventilation & Control (303) Apply Electrical Heating, Ventilation & Control filter The Codebreakers guide is the only one of its kind on the market and was crowned Top Product of the Year by Professional Electrician Magazine in 2018. The book features hundreds of EICR observations and their corresponding codes as well as detailed sample forms, information specific to the frequency of inspections and tests and information directly tailored for the social housing sector. The 18th Edition is a major update to this title and contains extensive changes to many areas of BS 7671. Smart infrastructure integration - updated to cover installation considerations that are becoming increasingly complicated as EV charging needs to be compatible and integrated with a range of other systems and installations The threat from vermin damage of any kind is always a problem, which can be exasperated for installations in either rural locations or where access for vermin is unavoidable. In circumstances such as these,where damage can be expected, careful choice of the wiring system to limit or deter vermin should always be determined. Where damage has been found, especially in extreme cases such as this one, the potential for fire can be high, as well as increasing danger due to access to live parts. The use of metal/plastic conduit systems, trunking and armoured cables are all useful in protecting against vermin, but not always practicable, especially in domestic scenarios. After repairs are carried out, the installation of AFDDs could disconnect the circuit before any future damage could initiate a fire risk. AFDDs, however, won’t remove the vermin, so a call to a reputable pest controller would also be a good idea for the client.

JUSTIN NEEDHAM: This one would have given Mr Rat a toothache! Thoughts of the new regulations for AFDDS spring to mind. It is essential to all those concerned with the design, installation and maintenance of electric wiring in buildings. As I said earlier, if the board is in this state before removal of the front cover, then the potential damage and misalignment could give access to live parts, which is a C1, especially if someone were to try and switch off or reset the circuit breaker. The IET Wiring Regulations is the national standard to which all domestic and industrial wiring must conform. Q Can I ask NAPIT for advice on observation and coding issues if they are not covered by Codebreakers?
