    Routing of meter tails

    Yeah im not saying its by any means fool proof, i just feel theres more chance of striking more than just the one conductor when using a T&E

    Routing of meter tails

    I just feel it would have been a better installation method than using 25mm2 tails. Earlier in the thread it was asked what would be gained from using T&E over the tails, so im just trying to provide some reason for it. Whilst there may not be any relevance to it s far as the regs are concerned...

    Routing of meter tails

    Because? i absolutely agree. So would a T&E not offer a better chance than the installed ‘ tails ‘. Just trying to justify why T&E might have been better than the tails.

    Routing of meter tails

    I get that, but i wouldnt also rely on the current set up to perform like that either, although more chance with a T&E. Can i ask why a SWA seems to be a preferred method?

    Routing of meter tails

    Fully agree and as mentioned if it wasnt an install previously started by another electrician i trust i would not have taken the job. I guess im more concerned because of the cable wouldnt you have more chance of hitting multiple conductors in a T&E, say with a nail or screw and in turn...

    Routing of meter tails

    Fully agree and as mentioned if it wasnt an install previously started by another electrician i trust i would not have taken the job. I guess im more concerned about the use of the double insulated meter tails. Althought they are ran together and at a suitable depth ( 50mm from floor and ceiling...

    Routing of meter tails

    sorry for the late reply, yes this is a concern. It is a TN system NOT TT so as pointed out earlier in the thread RCD protection not required.

    Routing of meter tails

    Thanks for the comments guys, would it be Fair point raised and if it was sombody who i didnt know from adam then i would be very reluctant to do so. However i have worked with the electrician who has carried out the work so far and am more than comfortable picking it up from him. As things...

    Routing of meter tails

    Maybe there isnt. I may be looking for one because its not how i would have done it myself. On the surface it all seems ok. Its just the length of those tails and more the fact that they run through the joists like they do

    Routing of meter tails

    Would have been another option prior to ceilings being boarded and skimmed although maybe difficult to run a SWA through the joists.

Majority of the first fix has been completed including the repositioning of the DB. The original DB was situated inside the...

    RCBO neutral/earh leads

    it may just have to be to house the leads as there isnt a great deal of room in the DB for me, its a hager board. Need to be mindful of leaving enough room to terminate the outgoing circuits

    RCBO neutral/earh leads

    what do you guys do with yours? Currently on a job fitting a 24 way TP&N distribution board where all final circuits are going to be protected by RCBO's. I want the board to look as neat as possible but as you can imagine the number of circuits that i have ( 56 in total ) means the neutral and...
