Pir

[Edd]

A phone call from one of our sparks doing a PIR on an empty property, he says theres a PV system here, what do I need to test as part of the PIR!
I wasnt sure, its somthing ive thought about but never got around to looking at. So my question for all you lovely people is on a normal PIR that has a PV system, what should we be looking at and testing and does the PV system have any seprate test cert needed??
Thanks

I'd expect most electricians would test and inspect the AC side to the isolator and add the DC side to any limitations though as you know, these should be agreed with the client prior.

Agree with that!

Thanks guys, yer i think ile tell him to test the ac side and note it on the limitations..

one thing to look for is that the PV system is on its own MCB or own RCBO and not on a RCD side with other circuits
