There are some people in this forum that are jumping on the wrong bandwagon here. Maybe you should all take a deep breath and actually read the OP properly and if unsure ask me questions.
Rather than reply to every post individually I will update here.
Firstly yes I am a fully qualified, and registered with CPS, electrician. However, although qualified I lack experience as have only been fully qualified etc since Feb.
I am fully aware there are a no. of issues and I have coded them already on the certificate.
Eg,
SWA not terminated (it is glanded at the other end)
Single insulation exposed
Cables not supported
Undersized cable in relation to the OCPD (the cutout which is the query I had)
The covers for the connectors are actually just balancing (which you can't tell from the pic)
There is no earth sleeving/tape on the black insulated conductor
When I do the certificates I like to ensure I give the client as much accurate information as possible.
I was asking specifically about the size of the SWA and the fact there is no OCPD. I even stated in the OP that I had coded it as a C2. Maybe I should have been clearer but what I was getting at was my C2 code correct or did anyone think it warranted a C1?
The client mentioned it has been fine for the last 8yrs or so and I said they had been lucky then as there is nothing to stop that cable pulling 80a when it's designed at most to pull 47a if it were clipped direct.
I am acutely aware that my qualifications don't trump experience. I knew it was wrong, I had already coded it as such. What I wanted to ensure was that I was giving the client accurate information.
The one thing I will ALWAYS do if I am unsure is ask, hence my post here, even if it opens me up for potential ridicule. I'd rather be thought a fool and learn by asking a question, than keep quiet and get it wrong.
Peace, out!!
