When carrying out an EICR I found this board. The live bus bar cuts across the neutral where the tails have exposed copper. Is this the way these boards come? I have never came across this before

Cheers

I would guess (hope!) that it's been assembled incorrectly. The RCD should only serve MCBs to the right of it, so there would be a break in the busbar where the neutral is.
Or do you have both RCDs connected in parallel??

The busbar looks upside down which has cause the neutral to be bent flat exposing the copper conductor.

If it was the other way up, it would be hard into the neutral link.

Possibly not dealt with this stuff but it seems upside down.

Looks as though it's been assembled with the RCD's on the wrong side of the bus

Looks like someones made a total hash of that...quick look online and they appear to be like this

As I thought; the OPs example has been assembled by an idiot.

The lack of grommits or glands on entry to board for tails, and the obscene amount of copper on show on connection to main switch would back up that thought a lot

Thanks for your replys. Yea it seems they have just completely made a mess. The whole job is a shambles. They have 2.5 radials on 32a mcb's no grommets or glands and a lot of other issues. I just count get my head round that bus bar.
