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:

Who needs 10mm bonding

I'm sort of hoping there is..!

Here are a couple pics of a VFD at work. A lot of wires were from before a drive retrofit and went to nothing. Wire nuts on the end of them. Before and after.

What prize did you win for finding it?

I get the dubious honour of making good the lath wall #Winning

Never ceases to amaze me why people wrap an unenclosed block connector with insulation tape, like it makes a difference.

I was particularly impressed with the use of g/y tape for the twisted cpc’s. You don’t see that sort of attention to detail these days....real quality.

The 1.5mm wrapped round the pipe was been used to bond. Installed 10mm to water and gas whilst I was there?

A bit of g/y sleeving on that, it’ll be fine.

Fantastic job today going to fit a new control panel, PME the sign indicates. No earth available for me to connect to is there. Called out DNO who turned up to tell me "yes it PME, I can tell by the cable and cut out". "Thanks for that how am I going to connect my earth to it"? "That's not my problem the earth is there". "Yea awesome thanks for that, how am I going to connect to it"? "Well I could put an earth terminal in if you want but you will have to pay for it". "Thanks that what I called you out for I need an main earth terminal to connect to".

Got that sorted then go to remove old panel found this !

Yep no flipping earth at all through the lot that earth core being used as L2 is about as close as it gets. F00k it (I don't carry enough spares to sort this out) pulled the fuses and left for the weekend. I'll go Back Monday as I've got some great contractors booked in to replace the lot from the cut out on.

Isn't that the type of cutout that has a little knockout in the side of the neutral section to connect the earth to?

I think the right hand fuse has to be removed to gain access to the screw that holds on the cover over the N-E terminals even though you can knockout for cable access from the outside of the head.

 

[David Prosser]

you can't remove the cover for the neutral/earth without the third fuse being removed the neutral cover also has a seal through it. That's why I called them out. To be honest after a half hour conversation I just gave up the chap clearly couldn't understand what I had an issue with. I'm very fortunate that we have instant access to the DNO and they will always come out as a priority, unfortunately it doesn't include any guarantee of who they send.

Was called to investigate no power to a DB after some recent work the board was changed by others and just some photos I took walked away and passed back as not getting involved in this attempt

 

[freddo]

I don't think I would have used that board for that task.

 

[DT1991]

I don't think I would have used that board for that task.

I agree like I said couple of photos for the job sheet and tools packed up and gone.

I visit this site frequently and previous was a board not dissimilar i suspect it was upsold with a recent refurb.
