are those rated to 1kV?
Based on purely what you have said in the op - no.
Have you found a Reg to state that no live parts can be under the cover of a DB that is secured by screws?
How do you carry out EICR's if this DB is worrying you?
In the process of doing an EICR for a rental property (probably an HMO).
Really old CCU that has exposed live parts once the lid is removed and so would need to be super careful testing as there is no other isolation except the 100A tagged fuse.
Don’t feel comfortable doing any further tests because of the safety nature (am I a wimp).
But it occurred to me that surely this should definately be a new board upgrade job if it’s in a HMO property?
Thoughts??
Do you wear womens clothes and run frantically when a lorry drives over speed bumps?
HAHAHA, I am so glad I am not the only sarcastic buffoon on this site PMSL
The fire officer may have something to say if it is an HMO, however he is likely to say that the cu must be in a fireproof enclosure as a minimum and may not say that you need an ammendment 3 board.
Isn't the point of a cu to house live parts? As long as a tool is required to access I can't see more than a C3. Maybe able to C2 the incoming tail if it has been 'trimmed' as it looks like in the photo
Fire Officers don't inspect HMO's. Some councils may differ but mine require HMO's to have a risk assessment. The assessor will not inspect CU, they will look at EICR to ensure it is satisfactory.
HMO's must have EICR every 5 years, typical Private rentals it's recommended but not mandatory. Although there is a government consultation to make all private rentals have mandatory EICR every 5 years.
