The other day, i was installing a new circuit from an old 3ph DB, and i was working for an agency, subbing me out to a company who install specialist equipment (wont mention what because dont want repercussions).
We were running SWA out of the board on tray to the items of equipment.
when i saw the old board, there were no blanks fiitted, even though they were needed. The supply is TNS, but the main earth from that was only 10mm. No lid on the trunking containing the cores of the paper insulated cores from the supply. This is in a wooden cupboard, in a car park, accessible to the public.
When i mentioned that we sort it out, the company sparks i was working with, said not to worry, cos we will test our circuits ect, and the rest of the installation is not our prob.
Ive now finished there, but what would be the correct course of action, if i ever come up against that again?
would i report it to the client, and then refuse to issue a cert? Would i issue acert for our new circuit, but note the limitations of the inspection?
