This might confuse a DIYer...either the label is on upside down, or the cables are reversed on the tray...
It works though, now!
I apologise for the state of the ferrules, they were re-done once I had the unit running.

I've seen this with cheap lights bought from Amazon, one of which stated on its product page that blue was line and brown was neutral. That one was handed to the guy that bought it, with clear instructions about what he could do with it.

Indeed, @nicebutdim
I had an accessory recently where the wiring instructions were written step-by-step, and there were illustrations too...problem was that they conflicted. OK for me to sort out what was what, but anyone following the diagram would end up with a blown timeclock. I contacted the manufacturers, they thanked me for being in touch, and said they would review things...
Aye, right...as we say in Scotland.

Bathroom light was wired directly into the shower isolator. Neutral burnt out and insulation shot on shower circuit. 40 year old board with no RCD protection, so that’s added to the quote too.

Installing some outside sockets today and notice that their EV charge point was fed with ordinary SWA. It piqued my curiosity as I also do EV charge points and know they have to have active load management. Along with OCPD & RCD protection, though some are now starting to come with both 6mA DC & 30mA protection built in. The charge point installed has neither OCPD or 30mA protection built in. Just 6mA DC.

As there was no seperate cable for the CT clamp and they weren’t using EV ultra/Hyper Connect I quizzed the owner on where the supply for the charge point was.

Now there are a number of plethora of ‘issues’ here.

But I have circled the supply to the EV charge point. The main cutout rating is also only 60A.

Funny enough they didn’t have a certificate for it and I’m betting the DNO haven’t been informed.

Customer tried to get hold of installer whilst I was there but the no. was switched off. So I’ve left him with all the details of how it should be done. So he can quiz the installer. He asked if I could rectify it all which I said of course. But he should approach the installer first as they should rectify it FoC.

I don't know what I'd have done in your situation. As that's only a 60947-3 isolator the meter tails are effectively extended all the way to the EVCP....!

There’s pyro in there as well!
Easily damaged with the pot and seals protruding in like that.

Whole house was originally wired in Pyro. The T&E as later circuits. Given him a huge price for updating the board and he's accepted!
