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:

The old cpc as a N, very dirty trick that

has a slightly similar uncomfortable feeling as some of the posts we get along the lines of…

I added some sockets and they are all ok, tested just fine (they work)
and some dodgy u tube vids along the same lines.

TN-C with a combined neutral / earth all the way to the load was quite common practice in other parts of the world including technically advanced locales, and TN-C wiring is still in use in many places. We never liked it over here except for earthed-concentric. Even for E/C we had extra rules and limitations.

The heaviest load I've found on a sneaky TN-C was a 230V 750VA transformer-rectifier running to earth via MI sheath. It was a later addition to an organ blower installation where there was (reasonably) no neutral in the motor supply circuit.

Ever seen a CU like this?

 

[SparkySy]

Yes I have! It emptied itself all over the place as I took the lid off and were a bugger to clean up! Looks like you have been lucky?

Ever seen a CU like this?

At least it won't be cold in there

Wow, watch out for brittle cables if that is polystyrene.
it can remove the plasticisers from the pvc leaving it brittle when flexed.

worst case it could be a rewire job.

Never seen that at a DB, I know that stuff gets about

Dead mice would be a routine one

 

[Mikegh]

One of those gallery's would probably buy that picture for 50 million

Just saying

 

[telectrix]

that's a load of balls.

 

[Simon47]

Ah, so is that the double insulation people talk about ?

 

[ipf]

That's a recessed unit and a crap cavity insulation firm for you...

 

[Baddegg]

Customer

my extraction fan is t working can you have a look?

me

no probs

Nothing attached to the fan and that insulation directly behind/in it……

 

[SparkySy]

Looks like mice chewed the hole out for them to fit the fan into!
This is all too common a problem, there is a whole street not to far away from me that not 1 bathroom fan was fitted or ducted correctly on the build!

 

[Dustydazzler]

Pretty much every new fan i seem to come across is just vented up into the loft space , i dont think i have ever come across a fan that is ducted properly to a sofit grill or vent tile yet
