Always check an isolator does its job.

Here's the connection at the board, bigger lug

required.

Nice way to isolate the circuit ?, functional but could be lethal.

FFS.
Is this the Incomer?

westward10 · Apr 16, 2021

It's a submain to a portakabin.

Looks like it took MORE time and effort than it would to do it correctly.

Here's some from a job I looked at the other day.

I could get my fat digit in there, although I didn't try as didn't fancy touching the busbar!

300mm rule? I measured it and it was 275mm.

That cable is touching the hot water pipe to help keep it warm in winter......

Fortunately the client hadn't long since moved in, had no idea about electrics but knew a few things were wrong. So asked me to come and quote for some work and to rectify anything that was wrong. So this will all get sorted in the near future.

Had the same thing recently on some outside lighting supplies. Baffles me, so much effort goes into that, when a metal adaptable box could be used .

Not so much dodgy as amusing.

Is it a feature?

ruston · Apr 22, 2021

I like that. It is peaceful.
