Blanks missing from CU in 2 senarios

[Deleted member 26818]

1 - C2
2 - C1
3 - C3 if all plastic, C2 if any metal.

Sorry, should have mentioned the CSA of the conductors for the lights on the stairs is 2.5mm2.
Obviously 3 was a C2 as the face plate was live.

During the course of my testing I de-energised and re-energised the circuits a few times.
Though I did remove the C1 first.

What lights where fitted?
Regulation 559.5.1.204 states that B15,B22,E14 and E27 lampholders shall be protected by an OCPD of a maximum rating of 16 amps

Halogen wall lights, with the lamps that look like big flash light bulbs.
Not bayonet or Edison screw.

Like said by another. This just goes to show how ambiguous coding can be. I beleave there is a coding course available or will be available from the NICEIC. this should at least give all NICEIC Members the chance to sing from the same song sheet . But then the problem arises when another organisation holds there own coding and this has variables from NIC.
Anyway sorry for starting this debate. All's good with the CU's now as all blanks were fitted today. As this was the first test I think the missing blanks were an after thought that was forgotten about by the original installers. Obviously they overlooked it in there original certs.

Been a fun debate.
