I am not Part P etc qualified, but are using the upgrade of my CCU as a "case" I have all the necessary equipment Megger 1552 etc.
There will be departures, due to the age of the house (1963), all of the upstairs lighting has no cpc and some of the downstairs has no cpc. The rest is fine. It's not technically feasible and financially to run a cpc to these light points etc, (due to the construction of the house - it would mean removing roofs and or ceiling boards at a cost of say £3000 to make good.....) The testing organisation state that it's OK as long as I correctly fill in the revalent test/certification forms etc etc and disclose these departures , I do not intend to sell this property for at least 20 years....
Is this correct or will I have regulatory "issues" the max load (without diversity is 130 Amps and are putting in a 100 A RCD/RCBO split unit and the current CU is 60 Amps, wire fuseable, so no leakage protection at all and "running the CU at up to 80 Amps very easily)
