Bugging my happiness

[mogga]

I do commercial PIRs most of the working week with a few remedials thrown in Iv found a few things that are common practice that just BUG the keech oot of me

1 twisted earths of a twe ring some can be 2ft long at db so end up doing from socket

2 no numbering of cables at db and neutrals out of sequence ( ok when its 5 but a right royal pain when theres 36 circuits n cant turn some off )

3 over tightening of screws had a few today that have nearly cut cores in 2

4 general bad maintenance of electrical systems ( sockets switches light fittings chipped cracked ect)

5 maintenenct men who through no fault of theirs arent qualified to do the work but are forced to do it by gaffers

here endeth the rant for today

That’s one subject I never, ever want to go in to again! Only one part time girl in the office block and she managed to block the dammed thing solid.

Did a domestic PIR the other day.
MCB marked up for cooker fed 2 db sockest in the kitchen, I noticed this when i pulled the gas cooker and and i thought ermz DOH
Loads of circuits stacked into 1 MCB, And surely the person fitting must realise the numbers on the netural bar are there for some reason or another?
No stickers of any kind, All i got from the customer when i rang up was "It passed the last time"
And was nt over keen to buy a RCD until i explained it would fail because it didnt trip at all 1x and 60Ms on 5x and it was a TT system.
