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:

I think this is last edition that included them?

(It seems the 15th edition doesn't list them as protection for direct contact, but they are in other bits of it with note "Residual devices are preferred")

I do the Western Union and only add solder when the wiring goes inside appliances, there's almost no regulation on electrical work where I live so most self-proclaimed "electricians" use random wires and do simple twist splices and cover it with tape.

Here's a dodgy thing, minus "protective" cap. Guess what this is.

If you said mug warmer then you're right, it makes your tea/coffee/beverage of preference boil and could make your mug explode if you leave it plugged for more than 30 seconds, but does the job.

Went to look at a place this morning to do a site visit for a quote as they want a EV Charge Point. They had solar installed about 5 weeks ago. This is how the installers left it. Owner didn’t see the problem.

I stuck a blank in it as a gesture of good will.

I suspect the Pholcus phalangioides didn't think much of it either. 🕷

Seen in Newport City Center, shop refirb in progress... Where is the cut out for the cutout?

Never seen swa made off and earthed like this before. What are your thoughts? I am thinking poor workmanship and not following manufacturers instructions.

 

[Dustydazzler]

I have seen SWA made off like that quite afew times but normally when its made off into a plastic gland and the sparks winds the armour together like that parking it to earth

I don't like seeing SWA made off like that into a plastic box / plastic gland with the strands earthed like that but like most things its probably a new fangled way of doing things
