Hi guys.
Fuseboard looks fine, but all neutrals are connected at one point outside the fuseboard. That way both rcds trip on fault on any of the circuirs.How would yiu code that?
P.s. also no glanding and cables rubbing on the sharp edges of CU?
Thanks

I am surprised that they dont trip whenever anything is used, let alone a fault.

Some unqualified 'electrician' have just installed the board a week ago without certificate, and the landlord asks for EICR, so he can rent the property. The flat is still completely empty.

There's no way that was done by an electrician of any kind.
I'd bet the landlord did it themselves.
