the CU has cable entry holes, these should not be > a certain sizeover and above the cables. . i.e. top is 1mm clearance. sides and bottom are finger size. if not too excessive, some filler would suffice to seal. a picture would helpPlease help, just had a domestic EICR undertaken, a C2 issue: Consumer Unit does not meet minimum I.P rating, what does this mean and how do I check this out? how expensive to rectify? thanks!
Yes apologies for that, what does this mean: Circuit forms a Figure of 8 Rather than a complete RFC - is that a C2? He's put FI but in his text msg to me he says that it is a C2, confusedFrom the pic it is impossible to say the extent of the issue.
really appreciate the replay; what does this mean: Circuit forms a Figure of 8 Rather than a complete RFC - do you come across this a lot?FI means further investigation. this leads to an unsatisfactory report, same as a C2, but in a different way.
as regards the CU IP rating. there are several methods costing very little. a piece of plastic could be cut to fit and glued over the offending hole/s. blue tak, filler.anything that would stop penetration of the enclosure to the relevant rating.basically one does not want a customer to be able to poke a finger in and come into contact with live parts.
