EVANS ALL ELECTRICAL: HERE WE HAVE POSSIBLY THE WORST INSTALLATION KNOWN TO MAN. UNFORTUNATELY, WE HAD THE (MIS)FORTUNE OF CARRYING OUT THE EICR.
When carrying out an EICR it never fails to amaze me the level of poor workmanship, and the disregard for fundamental electrical safety.
In this case the images provided were extensive but, due to space, we can only review a small selection of them here. We may revisit some of the others at a later date.
Often the observations we encounter during an EICR would be subject to non-compliances which would give rise to danger, although the majority are items which haven’t been correctly installed in the first place.
The image on the right has a protective bonding conductor that hasn’t be correctly terminated, supported or provided with a safety label. The conductor is resting on the incoming water service pipe.
The image on the left reveals an earth electrode connection which has not been provided with protection against mechanical damage or external influences.
