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:

My own dodgy pic…
Only socket circuit is dismantled to find faulting section. CU other end of house a long way away. All 18v batteries flat. Needed a multi-tool.
Had a mains multi-tool with me. No extension lead.
Options were rigging up builders board and running 16A cables….or…..misusing some kit…


(The DIY adapter dates back several years to a Robin plug in RCD tester and wanting to use probes to test an RCBO)

My own dodgy pic. Been testing an empty school with a non time delayed 100ma main switch rcd on TT. It was being a right royal pain in the --- so I took it out of the equation, safe me thinks so.View attachment 100878

To stop nuisance tripping whilst testing. It is not time delayed and it kept tripping before the rcbos plus it made testing of the non rcbo circuits easier.

Looks like an old builders site temp ?

Really odd set up the cabling went from the consumer unit over the fence and into the garage behind supplying lighting and another double socket in 1mm t&e which the owner has been plugging a 13A EV car charging lead into

I bet it's an old guy who did that.

This is a strange one, seeing as it's been in and operating for years.
Found it today, in operation, of course.
