Panel board that I have almost finished

One of 28 DB' s

One of the 6 fire panels finished

One massive warehouse

Was this in Rugeley by any chance?

Very tidy. First class job.

Some minor points (I'd be failing if I didn't think of something):
Lump of crud sitting on top of main switch.
Slight tilt on breakers, particularly towards the RH end.
No space for additional circuits.

Yep well spotted, i assure you it's not there now lol.

I just get given the materials to do the job. I hate MK boards personally.

Tidy job. Hate it when the MCBs are slightly twisted from heaving up on the bus bar.

No matter how hard you try you can't help the tilt with the mcb's on these boards when getting a good purchase on the busbar.....the boards are a pile of turd IMHO. Pukka job though, nice and neat with no exposed conductors.

It being an mk consumer is the only thing I can pick up on that photo , very wel done mate

 

[GMES]

Cracking job Simon.

Boiler install I've just done. One boiler for HW one for CH.

 

[Richard Burns]

Looking good, (except for the stat cabling), what is the back box to the left?
A neat installation.

 

[jase]

back box to the left is for a Rako lightswitch, this is in the garage of a large house

Consumer unit upgrade I did sub contracting recently. Materials were provided. Took me an hour to straighten my back out after that one. The cupboard was an awkward squeeze to say the least with gas pipes in the way as well.

Excelent job looks really neat and tidy the worst cables are the factory fitted ones! a work of art seems a shame to put the cover on.

 

[Lagentium]

It's the dis board changes that I struggle with most to get neat, the cables are never always long enough! Some properly neat work on here lads, it nice to see people taking pride in their work!

Thanks

i just find a lot of its in the planning. I tend to take the internals out and find the best method of entry for cables. Then I connect up the cpcs and neutrals (after testing of course). Then I put the internals back in connect in the meter tails and then finally the lines.

 

[uksparks]

Depending on how many circuits there are, how much time I have and what mood I'm in, I take more time I suppose you could say? I never leave a board a mess and they always look very presentable, however, some end up looking better than others.

I tend to leave a bit of length in the cables which doesn't always help, I can get a normal split board a lot neater than an RCBO board, just because of the space constraints.

Some good pictures on here though.

 

[OldeSparky]

see you have the MK lean

 

[Aurai]

Sorry it is sideways, this was an effort to bring the previous CCU from ceiling height to more accessible height using Wago Din Rail box

 

[DPG]

Err. No, it's me - I'm missing something. Daz

 

[Darkwood]

If the terminals are rated then not a problem, just a bit dog rough at the sake of replacing the back board IMHO.

Edit - I assume there are some blanks for the backboard cutouts but still would have looked more professional with a clean piece of board.

 

[Dave OCD]

Frankly that isn't the neatest ! I'd have used a backboard without all the big holes between A and B as well, is the din rail box metal ?

In agreement bit rough that back board.

Does the do rail box need to be metal, as it's not a CU ?

I see your thinking but why would it need to be?

 

[Aurai]

Was never going to be sure what to do, so covered all base with inspection holes. They do have lids in the finished article. The Wago box is not metal, and decided it was not switch gear. Was curious on that point. Cheers
