    How do I certify when there are no rcds to test

    If the CCU is unable to take RCBo's, you could always put a couple in an enclosure next to the board, I'm sure that wouldn't break the bank too much and still quicker and cheaper than a complete board change

    Quality new install

    Also notice the neutrals of the RFC in separate terminals, no blue sleeving to the grey conductor used as a neutral or brown sleeving to the black but most worrying is the 3 32A CBs feeding 2.5mm cables

    Circuit Advice

    They look like training boards and I am sure you will be given full details on these when you start your course. What type of course are you starting on?

    NAPIT Certification Scheme napit code 2/3

    I would also agree C3 as recommended by IET GN3

    Advice and information

    I can't work out how the removal of light fittings has lead to so much cable hanging about like that. They look as if they had never been fixed

    Building control / works certificate

    " EICR courses" should only be offered to practising electricians

    Building control / works certificate

    That's not the fault of C&G, more the companies that deliver the courses who falsely promise. There is actually a declaration for students to sign that they will not be electricians when they finish but improvers/mates

    Building control / works certificate

    I wonder why he is still using 17th Edition EICR. On a side note, to NAPIT, as a tutor I am forever trying to get students to use correct terminology and then I see "main earthing conductor" and "figure of 8 test" on this document.

    External Lighting Circuit

    Agree with above, as all the circuits are effectively controlled via one MCB I assume the loading is not very high, so do you actually need a contactor? p.s love those space invader light fittings, very retro

    AM2 a few revision questions

    You must also measure each line to neutral, double the highest of the readings

    Clarification on the Regs...

    Not entirely true, you may have a RFC with NO sockets at all and only fused spurs, such as one feeding kitchen appliances

    Not sure if this is installation work

    Any work , temporary or permanent must comply with the latest regulations. By the sounds of things you know what you are installing probably does not comply

    Why does AFDD protection need to be per circuit?

    RCD's are also at the "origin of the circuit" I don't take that as necessarily individual to each circuit. It may be more to do with the operation of the device itself, but cannot see why split load AFDD's would not work

    AFDD, Building Regs and Insurance

    Although I think you could argue that arc faults, and the damage caused from them, are likely to be the fault of the installer, so it may end up on your head

    Old and New three phase board wiring

    yes you can, if you look at K2.2 of the blue OSG it gives advice on labelling the conductors
