Today's board change

uksparks · Oct 6, 2014

Hi,

This morning's job, in and out in 4 and a half hours. Vast improvement. Feel free to rip it apart and tell me I'm a fool and I've made a bodge of it and don't know what I'm doing.

[ElectriciansForums.net] Today's board change

I did actually heat shrink the end of that line conductor and disconnect the relevant earth and neutral and shrink them the same, it was for a shower circuit thats not connect in the loft, they also got labelled accordingly.

You may say why the cable ties, I saw one of you do it the other week on here, Trev i think or GMES maybe? Looked nice.

Ok I know MCB 8 is on when it doesn't need to be, I did switch it off.

Bit rough, only teasing very nice

Do you use the brother machine for the labels? If so what settings mate?

yes I do, a Brother P-Touch 7600

I use 12mm black on clear tape, 12pt font I think.

I also put my details on the big labels, I have a presaved image that I did on the computer loaded on to the label machine I just press a button and it turns one out on 18mm tape, black on clear.

Ahhh that Hager rubbish :tounge_smile::tounge_smile:

uksparks · Oct 6, 2014

I used to use MK, so come on, Hager is better than that, what would you use?

Always prefer it with the small tie wraps makes it a neater job. It's a bugger when you're the next one at the board trying not to disturb it!

Pete999 · Oct 6, 2014

Tie wraps look nice but I would never use them, at least not leave them in after completion. think it looks naff

Looks neat UK, IMO omit the cable ties.All those cables need some air.:stooge_curly:

telectrix · Oct 6, 2014

cable ties look neat, but derate the cables.

Nothing wrong with the job, it looks fine to me, one critism, as your a pub member wheres the beer? it is your round.

HappyHippyDad · Oct 6, 2014

Because of the use of the ties I hope you derated the CCC because of the bunched conductors?

Only kidding UK.. Very neat, and regardless of popular thought I quite like all those labels on it, looks professional.

I generally use Wylex boards as I like the little extra depth, I'd be interested to know what your preference with the Hagar is UK?
