I thought I took a photo earlier but seemingly not.
Someone's fitted a joint box to move a consumer unit. It's a refreshingly neat job. Din rail, wagos DIN connectors for final circuits etc. It's even fully labelled up.
One thing is a first for me. Inside the enclosure, an Anderson 2 pin plug and socket has been used to extend the 10 sq mm T+E supply (it's a sub-main) to a new section of 10 mm^2 T+E. (The CPC is sleeved and choc-blocked.) The connecter is screwed through the box to the wall.
They look like this:
These Anderson plugs and sockets are more normally used in automotive circles for 12/24v DC battery charger / jump lead connections etc.
I've seen them on forklift chargers too. I've never seen them used for 230c AC before.
Online it's saying this connector is rated for 600v and 50 amps.
So I'm not instantly coming up with reasons this is against any regs. It provides basic protection, seems to be rated accordingly, and does the job as well as crimps and sleeving. .
Any other thoughts? Apart from sending the installer some beer money for pure ingenuity, that is!
