FAILED Commercial EICR | ØY39

This is what happens when engineers are let loose on industrial electrical work. To complicate things even more, the previous EICR carried out here wasn't worth the paper it was written on! So we've been drafted in to put things right and to make sure this high performance test facility has an electrical system that's in full working order.

[@user-vm7io3sg4x]

The contactor is save, its IP20 you are not able to touch any live part without tools. In most countries water and gas pipes are no longer grounded because most of the pipes are plastic.Everything is protected by differential switches, even bathrooms .Normally 30mA types. (in reality 22mA under 5ms). Fuses are there to protect the installation and differential switches are there to protect people. In europe the whole main head room would be a c1 because there is insufficient room to stay clear of potenial live parts.

[@leemarshall178]

Really good video Cory. Well done. Really surprised at the bad labeling and how many c2 faults there were in a Rolls Royce factory though.

[@weirdguybr]

It feels like either someone did the job with a 'I will label and document this later' and never got to it; or someone doing things in a way that only them can fix it, thus ensuring "job safety".

[@markrainford1219]

I'm more surprised that they've employed a youtuber sparky to do an EICR. Or external contractors at all.

[@leemarshall178]

@markrainford1219 just because he does youtube and he's a small business does that mean he's not competent and qualified to do commercial EICR - No. And with how many major faults he found and noted shows he's more bothered about people's safety and is outlined in Corey's videos

[@devonfuse]

The terminals on the contactor, even though you can see them, they are IP2X. However, IP2X is fine inside an enclosure, not exposed like that, so get a cover on them or put it inside and enclosure. Code 2.

[@ail9483]

With the 1.5 on a 20A C, it looks like tri-rated so depending on the manufacturer could be good for 21A, however most of the light blue ferrules I've come across have been for 0.75mm Tri-rated.

[@olly7673]

The colour of the ferrule depends on the country of origin of the ferrules i.e is it to the German standard or the French one. Tri rated cables just means that it has passed 3 different standards, BS, UL and CSA so whatever BS7671 gives as values for 1.5mm2 is what should be taken in the UK, dependant on grouping, installation method etc or at least that would be my argument

Would have been interesting to measure the voltage between the earth bar from the long lead and the water pipe in that bog.

[@persona250]

Or better still an insulation resistance test will tell you if it is an extraneous conductive part .

[@_chrisr_]

Whether C20 mcb is suitable for 1.5mm T+E is dependent on installation method - if clipped direct then ok otherwise not. With regard to the exposed copper or single insulation being acceptable or not, this depends on whether it is inside a suitable enclosure or not.

[@micgent]

Making some assumptions here but...That Dyno Test Panel, the inside of the panel door with the exposed brass Ammeter studs, should they not be protected by rubber boots or a sheet of perspex?

So you're telling me an factory uses a lathe. Shocker. Not surprising really considering they probably need to fabricate parts, and it's quicker to do it in house. Also, Jester rhymes with Chester.

[@mirfmat]

@corymac we are up to 90 DBs. Some of them have asbestos in, so we can't touch them close to 250 circuits. we can't turn any of the main switches off due to the being over 60 years old and they are not sure if they will switch back on.

1.5mm Cables not suitable for current carrying capacity of 20 amp breaker. Would melt before the breaker tripped if under excessive load. C2 Circuits can always be extended, especially in a place like that with engineers about.

For the water, did you test if it’s an extraneous conductive part. Before coding?

Those terminals on the contactor satisfy IP2x requirements per australian standards but the dodgy cut into a cheap plastic din mount box is slack, should be in a locked / tool access only enclosure. I'd change it on principle though being that it's a piece of CHINT... also it's got leccy tape wrapped around the side of it? Smick as hell, they obviously already know it's not compliant.

[@JackDaLadd]
