I realise coding for EICR's can be quite judgemental and theres quite a few discussions on them but I was hoping for a bit of reassurance/advice with the following (I have not yet written the report):
1. I feel this would be a C2, my reasoning is that its a great big hole with live conductors visible?
2. C2 as live parts visible on 230V side of transformer and just taped up:
3. Broken part on MCB.. C2? I feel less certain about this one. The MCB functions.
4. Main Bonding disconnected to gas.. C2.. All gas pipes tested for continuity to MET and all had continuity.
5. Main bonding not found for incoming water although water pipes showing continuity to MET. Only 1 bonding conductor in MET (10mm). The only 10mm in the house I could find was the one in the second picture bonding this random pipe in the house and then disappearing into the wall. Really not sure what to code this? The main bonding should be within 600mm and its easily accessible to do this, however the incoming pipe is plastic, but then immediately copper once in the property.
6. The consumer unit is absolutely packed and coated with dirt/plaster dust and I can hear it in the RCD and MCB mechanisms as I switch them (all functional though... for now!) Also getting poor IR results on L-E when conductors are all connected and MCB closed (0.08MΩ). When MCB's open (individually)this increases to over 10MΩ for all circuits, so perhaps plaster/grime etc making connection from busbar to E? 'Further investigation and/or consumer unit change C3 (maybe C2)
Sorry for this lengthy one, I've done a handful of EICR's and have felt confident with the coding so far but not so much with this one!!
