PIR Report

Sorry forgot to say the PIR is approx 3 years old.

Further update.
The customer had another PIR done earlier this month (5/5/09) even more interesting figures.

Still the same DB, the kitchen and bathroom had been refurbished about a year ago. I think the latest tester walked around with a wander lead, I found no earth on 1st floor lighting (on investigation it was a open connection on one of the loop-in roses).
The first PIR was carried out by a NAPIT registered electrician, the second PIR by a NIC DI..........

Those IR readings are clearly made up. From all the meters i've used it would either be >299 or >999 so he doesn't mean that!!!!

Actually my Fluke 1650 series displays >500 ohms on 500V test. As do all flukes of this series

The second PIR they used a Fluke 1651, I have no info what tester was used on the first PIR. The property is a small one bedroom cottage style place.

The second test is just as bad as the first. Missing ring readings, incorrect cable sizes, no 5x test etc. Appaling

BS EN type 1
Don't think the 5s disconnection figures are correct either.
Not sure on those max efli figures for the given MCB type.
Why the differing RCD times too?

 

[vera121]

The MCB's are BS 3871 Type 1. The cables sizes for lighting and smoke alarms are 1mm/1mm not 1.5mm

 

[securespark]

no 5x test

BS7671:2008 does not require a 5x test for a 100mA RCD.

Am I doing things the slow way? Why has he done R2 but not R1 + R2? I would do R1+R2 as the easiest method. Do some people prefer to use a flying test leed and trail it all round the house?

I stand corrected hacman. Never used Fluke only Megger, Robin & Martindale.

Still his report is worth jack as is the second example
