Apprentice turned this on this morning (panel heater) there was a loud bang and flash (and he shat his pants)

20A DP switch. FCU was elsewhere but he still managed to blow the fuse in it. The 3036 at the board didnt pop tho

Looks seriously corroded, did water get in to cause the bang?

Tell him it is illegal to turn on a panel heater in July. He should be warm enough, running around with your tea & biscuits.

@pc1966 Reversed polarity he said (I'm not on site). Room was occupied by a disgruntled former employee so we're not sure if theres been some meddling!

hows yous done that when you heathens have nicked 90% of the stones?

Today's quick job put 2 sockets onto a new plasterboard wall in a house that someone else started and didn't come back. First socket no power before fitting, mmm what's occurring here then? Luckily not skimmed out as the board had to come off, and oh dear! That's not how you use wagos!!

Sooo that neutral never made it into the wago and someone obviously wasn't an electrician as they had no earth sleeve, bit closer together under the tape and there would have been a horrible n-e fault to find as well!!

The N conductor looks seriously tarnished!

 

[SparkySy]

All the conductors were seriously corroded! They had a major damp problem apparently and had to have it sorted out, the old backbox was still in the scrap pile or what was left of it! It looked similar to this one that I took out for the other socket that was equally as bodged and naff!
