immersion on a non dedicated radial

[Geoffsd]

What is the definition of a 'lighting circuit'?

If it was a woman, then they had a very deep voice. In terms of the C3 I'm going with its because these days it would be bad design.

Like I said, I'm only repeating what Napit said to say that it is ok, but bad design and that if he were doing an EICR on the same property, then he would code it C3.

All I wanted to know is how many people would ever design a circuit like this and was I wrong to not be happy with the circuit.

If you don't believe that any Regulations have been contravened then you cannot apply any code. BS 7671 makes this perfectly clear.

You could argue that the immersion should be on its own circuit.

Not sure a C3 is correct - there are countless houses wired this way, and older ones have 1 RFC including the immersion. Are you going to C3 them all??

A comment on the EICR is the way to go

I wasn't expressing an opinion on this. I was simply pointing out that the OP stated that no Regulations were contravened but that he intended to code it, which is clearly impermissible.

NO I am not coding it! Napit said they would code it a C3, after I rang them up to see if older versions of the regs allowed it. I have said I don't like the design, but left it as it is.

I was just looking for a consensus as I would never put an Immersion on a shared circuit, and was always told it should be dedicated.

On a new install - yes.

With respect does whether previous Editions permitted it affect the safety of it now?
