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:

Or just get a chippy to box it in with some MDF , out of site out of mind...

Corroded SWA. Rotted-out-Bottom.
Did make me think about redundancy of banjos with earthed tails -- If any armour is actually left !

 

[picturevalve]

was still live, about 2.8M above the ground in a publicly accessible place.

Is that 2.8 Meg?

 

[freddo]

Presumably as the earthed metal disappears the insulation readings to earth go up!

With a name like picturevalve, I bet you're an ex TV repairer.

I was thinking it was probably very damp.

No, but I recall the jokes around the time, no picture it's probably the picture valve. Later used for transistorised tv's, also. I repair most things these days.

Must’ve run out of terminal blocks...

 

[Dustydazzler]

Pretty standard that... see lots of old metal fittings where the fixing screw is used to park the earths

Posted this before in another thread I think.....

And my introduction to the forum starts with a Yorkshire Housing property. This was a consumer unit in a house whose tenant was a disabled individual. They requested a new shower room be fitted with a power shower by YH and the result was this loose neutral.

I was rather concerned it took YH one whole week to come and replace the board and never advised the tenant not to use the shower at a minimum. They were even sent these photos. Obviously I advised against using shower and associated circuits where possible, though it wasn't up to me to fix anything as I was there installing CCTV.

and then there's the roofer who decided to just destroy the live light fittings. He suggested the owner got a sparky out to reinstall them! ?

and finally the builder who built his own house and did all his own electrics...

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

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