Nice to see some pics in progress, I'm looking on my phone so quite small pics but in pic 2 doing ZE what is your earth lead connected to? It looks like you haven't disconnected the main earth it looks like your testing all the flats earths? Could be wrong though small pics on phone, you look like that guy who won triple jump at the Olympics ( but slightly bigger :love:)

For some reason i always pictured you as a thin wiry guy... lol!! I bet most picture me similar to your build, and probably bald too. How mistaken they would all be!! lol!!

Nice job Glenn, though it would have been better to have kept the bared conductor of the terminated cables to a minimum on the Neutral bar!!

if your on about the 25mm neutrals....they come like that with pre-formed ends...i think the strands are resistance welded together...or brazed or something....and i agree with you on em...their too long.....

But a ZE not a ZDB
Click to expand...
right:
the pic shows me carrying out a Ze to the property....i do this before any board change to confirm there is actually a proper earthing to the property...
now, this being flats after i had confirmed there was a good earth to the building i then got a Zdb at the board before replacing it...
the PFC i put down was the one i got when confirming the Ze in the pic....its going to be higher than the one i get at the board isn`t it...so as far as i`m concerned its covered...
hope this clears up any confusion.
Glenn.

I think onions is trying to say your are carrying out a zdb in your photo in your photo it shows all earthing cables to your earthing block, to carry out a true ze there should only be your main earth connected but you know that right lol nice neat job by the way good to see there are still some guys in the trade that take pride in there work :)
