Minor works certs in factories

[The Dentist]

If i am tapping off a canalis 40A busbar with a single phase 10A fused spur, does this require a minor works cert?

There are various tap-offs which supply computers etc, so its a bit inconvenient to switch off to do full testing of the busbar IR and R1/R2 measures etc

What is the 'standard' procedure fior this thype of addition?

hi,

whenever i work on a circuit where i work (factory, industrial) be it a new circuit or work on an existing one i do a minor works certificate or an electrical installation cert (whichever is appropriatte).

just because its not a domestic situation i dont believe it makes inspecting and testing the work ive done any less important. plus it shows you are doing things right and it covers your a*se to some extent.

I'd ask that one here http://www.theiet.org/forums/forum/

The tap off box from the busbar trunking is in effect your DB so any testing should be made from that point.

If it is a new circuit shouldn't you be using an EIC?

Ask them what their procedure is, one place I work have their own inspector and did not want my cert, (I did one anyway)

I figured as much, and saved me a lot of hassle trying to get the whole thing isolated for testing

Thanks
