View attachment 27631College work of the day was a Lighting circuit with a ring circuit.. nothing fancy but we had to make sure it was tidy as being used as a display peice.. the twin and earth cable is not the best to be honest..

Kevio it is a good bit of board work mate, dont knock your self. You mention the T&E, the first skt on the RFC is not flat to the board, but at the end of the day, good work.

Bit of a tip for everyone. T&E needs a bit of warming up on bends. Just hold it in both hands for 10 seconds and then create the bend Try it next time.

Top right bend is nice, good curve and pinned just before/after.

Good tip from Paul. Along the same lines always keep insulation tape in your pocket and when bending PVC conduit apply a masturbation technique to the area you want to bend.

I knew about the conduit but never thought about keeping tape in my pocket!

Ah, that explains the nice bit of ply... thought that was a bit posh for a temporary job! Good work.

Yeah our usual boards are normally crap ;p falling apart

Had to sack college off on Wednesday and postpone the panel wiring so no update as yet....

 

[GMES]

BUMP!!!!!!
So do we have anymore trainees willing to show us their work, It doesn't have to be huge to qualify, just some form of installation.

 

[pennychew]

Does it have to be the comp entry? or just a bit of installation?

See G's last post!

Strip your own CU down and redo it, that'll do

edit: or have I misunderstood your question?!

Well I would say yes if it is in this thread mate, but what a separate thread dedicated to all your installs and we can see the progress all the trainees are making along their journey, showing the way you all develop your skills with experience.
Maybe one of the Team could create a sticky!!! And all new pictures can go in there.

 

[pennychew]

I want to put my college bay wall up for the comp entry but just as not much being posted maybe a seperate thread where we can post some practice shots up!

Apologies for blurry images! Part of a kitchen gas safety system that we put in. The new system consisted of two CO2 sensors mounted at the same level of the extract canopy above the gas cookers, and monitored the CO2 concentration during kitchen use. This system was an update on the older one, as rather than just shutting off the gas when the extract fans failed, it has a bypass button on the panel, which keeps the gas on, so the chefs can finish off lunch, dinner, etc. The CO2 sensors will shut off the gas when a critical level of CO2 is reached. All connections were numbered and connected up to a wiring diagram, linking the gas valve, fire alarm panel, emergency stops and CO2 sensors. Wish I'd taken more pictures now, as it was done before Christmas!

I like it! Good description as well, gives a good understanding of how those work :icon14:
