Amendment 3. Non combustible CU

Am I the only one confused as to why the CU is meant to be metal but the switchgear is all still plastic?! I mean what's the point??!!

Well like our wonderful electrical trade, there is plenty Electrical Trainee's in the gate automation trade! My ex work colleague was a welder come gate 'engineer', would attempt to do it all himself, was funny when I used to try and explain how relays and gate control systems worked, couldn't even grasp a normally open or closed contact, used to look right through me then have a laugh with the other welders that I was talking Swahili :stuart:

Yip but numptys who can sell sand to the Arabs will always prosper, liquidate a few companies in the process but still manage to get good work in, a good website and friendly manner go a long way........

There is sparks round my way who is exactly the same. I've worked with him on a few sites when we both just come out of our time and TBF I wouldn't let him put a plug top on lol. But now has 3 brand new vans on the road, a few house and an AMG merc. He always did have the gift of the gab...

Yeah this is it Lee, just a natural at pulling the wool over unsuspecting customers, don't get me wrong he does produce some nice gates, but nothing is certified or doesn't follow any safety standards etc, the only other guy he had doing electrical work, was an alarm installer who didn't want to touch any low voltage stuff! Crazy but still got a lovely house and the vans to show!
