Right ... Just been nudged to set this up by Paul.M and sounds a good idea following recent threads I've done in the Arms..

Rules....No Offensive material... edit if required before posting as this is the public arena.
Anything to do with the trade or in and around it ...H&S pic's welcome.



I've posted this a few times and this is at a mates house following a kitchen refirb several yrs ago. mg_smile:

 

[Flanders]

Now there is a lot wrong with this install but can you spot the main issue?

 

[Dustydazzler]

Some proper hill billy attempt at a home pme conversion by the looks ?

 

[telectrix]

N-E bars linked?

 

[Flanders]

No the earth cable you see has been used as the neutral link from main switch with black tape . Take a closer look at the bus bar

 

[FatAlan]

Kitchen fitters strike again. The T&E goes to another infused connection box under the unit where dishwasher is connected.

No cover over the bar and it looks a little long?
I thought we were looking for something strange. Busbar with no cover is hardly a rare occurrence.

A join in the bus bar at the first MCB?

No Look at how the bus bar connects to the main switch a bit of 4mm cable !!!!!!!!!!

Almost correct The bus bar is connected to the main switch by some 4mm cable

Be nice if you could see that from the pictue without mega zoom.

here a close up for you .the clues where there,

if you notice in the original picture the bus bar is to far to the left

 

[Dustydazzler]

They have bodged a neutral / earth bar link to extend the busbar or because the bar won’t fit correctly

Flanders -bus bar
Wire-end clippings , about to fall into innards .. ?
( or just the photo )...
..ohh See what you mean --Feed me Seymore !

 

[Wilko]

Found this in the ceiling today and I just couldn’t un-see it .

 

[pirate]

First time I have seen the cable-tie wrapped right round the Wagobox...
I like that!

 

[Phil L]

Wow what is that about

 

[Wilko]

Hi Pirate and Phil - the cable tie wrap is the last step in their MF process .

 

[Midwest]

I've only ever put the cable tie round the clip, not the whole box. Can see either being okay.

Ha, you are so right.
I’m such a concrete thinker ... they want that darn lid secured, well I done it .

 

[pirate]

Yes you did! me, I just put the cable tie round the clip too..but, suppose you had to open it...
snip just before the clip part, pull the tail out, fix what you have to fix, add connections whatever, and re-use the tie just putting it through the holes but not wrapping it round.

Just a question
Who would treat this situation as inaccessible?
Presumably, any problem with the lighting point would result in removal....resulting in access.

 

[westward10]

I prefer readily accessible as very little is actually inaccessible.

 

[Dustydazzler]

Nothing is inaccessible with a sledgehammer and angle grinder

 

[SparkySy]

I found a stihl saw makes most things accessible!

Yes... because to access it you need to know it's there. In this particular example you can argue well there is likely to be a connection point for the downlight so you have an idea something might be there, but in general if I can't see it when the jobs finished I consider it to be inaccessible.

 

[westward10]

No joint should be visible when a job is finished
