Eddy currents? What eddy currents.....

Wow, the worst thing is the incompetent person who last looked at it thought it was good enough to put there sticker on it in case there was ever a need to call there emergency number!

They had a grant to update to LED lighting in which some rogue company was used. The EXIT emergencies in the hall had switches to put them on when the hall was in use, these were either disconnected or connected up wrong. Two test facilities in other areas were rendered useless so spent most of the afternoon reinstating it all.

You worked for them FOC, then they hand grant funded work to someone else and ask you to sort out the problems?

Going to be the most satisfying of invoices to draw up.

Don't know what the score was the committees change like the wind but I believe the contractors used were somehow bound into the grant, village life is a fickle thing.

Not only was this RCBO upside down, the busbar had been bent to make it fit.

And I thought all the MEM's were upside down

It's early for me, I am not fully awake yet, but it is a good photo, shows its not just electricians that have problems, but would this have been done by a plumber or builder? ?

How difficult is it to put an MCB up the blooming right way...

See it it so often these days upside down breakers or mix n match breakers/rcbos

Proteus breakers in a proteus board. How could they put them upside down? They fit fine the right way up.

and I’ll say it before anyone else does.

Who installs a proteus board anyway??

first class tiling job. stops the socket falling out.

Agreed... it also helps if you use the plates with angled edges... so that it's dovetailed in !

The house we live in has a Proteus board , the original split load board it was built with. At some stage some numpty added a 16a Hager MCB which sets my OCD off when ever I look at it. Thankfully it is in a cupboard so I only have to look at it once in a blue moon.
