Discuss Is a fused double pole isolator classed as a consumer unit. in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
You may be right and probably are, but I’ve notified it now. As was said earlier the worst I’ve done is miss describe works. Cheersit's an alteration to a circuit. MWC is all that's needed.
Hi, it looks like you are trying to register it as "notifiable work". if you have just replaced a switch fuse don't feel that it comes under notifiable work. If anything I would do a minor works certificate to cover yourselfI’ve just replaced a faulty 63A double pole isolator supplying a feed to a consumer unit several meters away to a flat.
ive come to do the notification on the niceic web page and there is no appropriate category to tick other than
circuit addition or alteration in a special locatiom
install a replacement consumer unit
partial rewire
rewire of all circiuits
install one or more new circuits
new build
unless I call the isolator a consumer unit ( which it isn’t) I don’t have a category.
thanks in advance.
I would have called nic but there shut now And I wanted to get this finished tonight. Any thoughts.
Nice one. That clarifies things nicely. I was starting to thing I’d made a mistake and a call to nic tomorrow to correct things. But if that’s the definition. Brill.I think you did right Pete, I've just looked up consumer in definitions (never thought I'd ever have to do that) and it says 'one or more fuses, circuit-breakers etc etc' So it's a consumer unit.
Regarding responsibility, I put the certificate number, in this case a MWC number on the part p notification and the notification ref number on the certificate. The certificate has more detail on the scope of the work covered.
I'm going to have to disagree with this. Here is the full definition:I think you did right Pete, I've just looked up consumer in definitions (never thought I'd ever have to do that) and it says 'one or more fuses, circuit-breakers etc etc' So it's a consumer unit.
Well a 63a switch fuse is an assembly for the control and distribution of electrical energy PM, it also incorperates a manual means of double pole isolation on the incoming circuit and an assembly of one fuse.I'm going to have to disagree with this. Here is the full definition:
Consumer unit (may also be known as a consumer control unit or electricity control unit).
A particular type of distribution board comprising a type-tested co-ordinated assembly for the control and distribution of electrical energy, principally in domestic premises, incorporating manual means of double-pole isolation on the incoming circuit(s) AND an assembly of one or more fuses, circuit-breakers, residual current operated devices or signalling and other devices proven during the type-test of the assembly as suitable for such use.
No, you're not wrong, I am. My bad. RTFQ!Well a 63a switch fuse is an assembly for the control and distribution of electrical energy PM, it also incorperates a manual means of double pole isolation on the incoming circuit and an assembly of one fuse.
Happy to be shown that I'm wrong but that's my take.
