I am going through the process of ripping out some old, extending, and installing new circuits in a flat.
Building control were informed and have accepted my competance, subject to payment and them checking my work etc.
I am coming towards the end of my testing and wanted to ask a couple of questions if anyone can help me please.
Continuity, Insulation, Polarity done
1. Ze measured at CU at 0.14 - From the forms it seems acceptable simply to add the r1+r2 to this to get the Zs - and therefore I assume there is NO requirement to actually conduct the Zs test from a far end of any of the circuits - is that right?
2. I have completed the RCD testing from the furthest socket on the ring for one side of the CU and from the furthest socket on a radial which sits on the other side of the RCD. I don't believe there is any requirement for RCD testing using the other circuits. Is that right.
3. I think I can have a fair crack at completing the forms, given the test I have conducted, which seem to be the Electrical Installation Certificate and the Schedule of Test Results - Are these the correct forms to complete?
I plan to give building control a call for a visit and a sign off, so would like to have everything they need bfore they arrive.
Thank you.
