Discuss 50 year old installation. in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
well the fella has conducted an ECR.....Looks like an installation that the owner has resisted advice to upgrade over the years, as it works ok.
It won't be the 1st time a sparks condemns it.
so i have to ask:
any recent work done..?
and if so any paperwork (previous EICs)?
Comment from the customer "it works ok why do I need to change it?"and if so any comments on the existing installation?...lol...
He brought the property mid 60's and. was a little disappointed not to find a 3 piece mk double mounted on a wooden or Bakelite board lolthe only thing i could see that had changed was the light switches and sockets
There are some hand written stickers on the switch gear what other paperwork do you need??"Comment from the customer "it works ok why do I need to change it
well if this is the case then they fail on that as well dont they....wonder if the OP picked that up in his report?So, what was the final outcome of this EICR??
Surely a lot of that older cast iron stuff and some of the more recent sheet steel stuff, isn't supplying anything, and has been just left in place? Either that or this house or whatever, is a hell of a size!! lol!! Looks like they were making full use of the knockouts in those cast sw/fuses, phase through one and the neutral through the other. ...lol!! I take it, this is a 2 phase + neutral and not a 3 phase supply?
So, where abouts in Thurrock is this property located?? I used to know of a lot of 2 phase + N supplies in North Ockendon and Stifford areas, but i'm pretty sure they were all converted to standard single phase PME systems...
