What is electrical equipment and what is an electrical installation?

[ericmark]

“electrical installation” means fixed electrical cables or fixed electrical equipment located on the consumer's side of the electricity supply meter;
“electrical equipment” means those electrical fixtures, fittings and appliances that are not electrical installations;

How can it be a fixture and not a fixture at the same time?

How can it be a fixture and not a fixture at the same time?

And hence the reason we have had so many discussions about the boundaries for EICR and PAT or whatever the current fashionable terms are.

We don't have endless discussions about such things, do we?

Who says it can be ?

Sctually I would prefer to discuss a Ring Final Circuit or a Radial Final Circuit being a "Final Circuit" but being the source of another radial (or ring) final or non-final ciruit because of the placement of a circuit protective divice?

Example a Circuit from a consumer unit containing points of utilisation such as sockets but also connected to FCUs with a 3 to 13A fuse for say a lighting circuits or small power circuits

Is it perhaps so hot that you can't apply your thought processes to more pressing questions ?
