UK asked to do work alone that you dont feel competent enough for ? worried about losing my job

[Stevetheaviato]

So recently i have been given a lot of changes to the work im used to, quick example = im ok with single phase boards but i am not competent or confident enough in three phase. My boss is a very angry guy..... should i just go for it or should i refuse until i have training ?

cheers

The OP appears to be a Qualified Electrical Engineer...….
I'm just an Electrician.

Just saying.

Love all the answers , some people really wouldn't make good managers with there answers lol , I was a project manager before I decided to take a career change and try a bit of install instead... the whole point was me feeling abit unconfident in solving a problem if one occured , I did the job today and it all went well , took me 6hrs and with a test , it was the fact that it have 3 other 3phase dis boards next to it and 3 isolator switches and with ---- loads of messy cables , I was not confident this morning , but now I am sure of myself.... thanks for the comments

Glad it all went okay. It can be a bit daunting compared to a consumer unit, needs a bit more planning and maybe different parts etc... But the heart of it is just circuits so well done.

Nice! Except that discoloured blank ruins the whole thing.

Is that an RCBO in an RCD protected way?

 

[Mike Johnson]

It is an old photo and the blank has been changed.

The RCBO is separately connected, it was just a convenient place to put it, there are four more RCBO's to go into the board to cover the machines in the shower room when I finish the floor that is.

French manuals are easier to translate than German ones!

I’ve worked on German and Italian equipment and just know what the symbols mean and you can wire it up
