Got sent to a house today to remove a supply to a shed down the bottom of the garden...maybe 20m away from board. Went out the 32a breaker in 6mm t and e jointed under a floorboard to 2.5mm armoured,down a wall to the outside and then under the garden. Entered the shed through a drilled hole and the earth into the banjo is just wedged into the hole.
4 double sockets lighting circuit and not sure what the 16a inside was for. But there was a pond powered off it whether that was the plugged in or the 16a.
As you can imagine she wasnt best pleased when we told her we were disconnecting it and it had to go.

Oh dear, that's an ugly one.
More than once I've been called to quote on extending from installations like that. Funny thing, after politely explaining what's needed they don't invite me back.

Who sent you to disconnect the supply?

Still doesn't explain why this is being disconnected....

Aside the obvious of being RAF we did not install that circuit and when we came to do the test on that property we told them they couldn't have it as we didnt install it and could not take responsibility for it

Who fitted the main house CU ? That looks RAF too.

Horrible ! I reckon that was a dual RCD board and some cretin has robbed an RCD out of it and put everything through one.
