[QUOTE="DaveS79, post: 508420, member: 28820"] Hi all I realise I'm probably going to get shot down for this but still intrigued to know how others manage similar situations. On job today. Job was to change old Wylex CU and issue satisfactory EICR. Checked previous sparks report prior. No major issues with installation. One of the jobs to do was split an over populated lighting MCB which had 4 circuits in 🙄. So split them, sussed out what lights they was serving. Just about got my r1+r2's on two of them, but third one serving big stupid wall lights right above desk where tenant working and dismantling and refitting them to get readings could take easy an hour. I'm back there the weekend so if no choice then no choice. Also one of the 6 amp circuits I couldn't verify for the life of me what it was serving, so again no reading could be taken. I realise on EICR's can put limitations on testing unverified circuits or circuits that require extensive dismantling but my understanding is you can't stipulate this on EIC's? Cheers [/QUOTE]
