We've got someone coming to do an EICR tomorrow. After having a different electrician out last week who pointed out a load of failures, I have some questions about the EICR.
- We have a 4Kw solar installation which is wired into the consumer unit via a 32amp MCB. The previous electrician said that's not allowed and it should be on its own RCD. Is this correct? We have a SolarEdge inverter, which I believe has an integrated RCD.
- We have an old metal consumer unit (1970's property) which is unsightly. It's enclosed in an MDF cupboard to make things look nice. As the box is made from wood, would that be marked on the report, or are we best to simply remove it?
