Right ... Just been nudged to set this up by Paul.M and sounds a good idea following recent threads I've done in the Arms..

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:

Enclosed within the rose and accessible. While not the most elegant of solutions, were any regulations breached?

If one were to be ultra-pedantic (not that any of us ever do that of course) then the bit arrowed should be sleeved with LED tape lights that alternate between brown and red.

This would have looked a lot neater if the four pieces of connector strip had been left joined together, and the wire lengths trimmed to suit.

Doo-doo-doo-doo..... The twilight zone!
Where messages just disappear!


One of those days when i wish i'd taken a photo.
Old fluorescent in a kitchen to take down.... Had a red into live, another red into neutral and 2 x normal sleeved cpc.

Up into the attic to see what was going on.... The 2 reds were from 2 x 3core & earth, the yellows connected together, the blues connected together... not in a box.

2 way switching.

Its getting rewired anyway, so will not be staying like this.

 

[Dave OCD]

Going by that method and the description one of the reds would have been permanent live and the other switched live so no neutral at the light fitting ??

 

[littlespark]

No, it was a neutral. Light worked fine.

L&N feed to one 2way switch. L to common, Y and B of the 3 core to L1 and L2.
Y and B linked through at light to other switch, Red coming back from second switch stops at light as switch wire, other red from first switch is neutral from light back to feed neutral.

 

[Dave OCD]

Ah ok got it, you'd think they'd have sleeved that red neutral black eh !

A bit of insulation tape and some connectors and we are back on, I get my ethics from Dave the Rave Pheonix Nights.

Thicko's don't know how to get to a fuse terminal in an old MEM Exel DB.
RFC needed isolating.
Three phase supply installed, by them, from right hand side fuses but had to do a bit of circuit shuffling. RFC moved to top left to accommodate. All red fuse guards broken off to get at the terms.
Obviously incapable of working out how to remove them.

No sign of any alterations to schedule.

PS. Not the first time I've come across this, by the way.

Manager says we had a pir on one of the cottages and Sparky man says that the sub main hasn't an isolator, can you sort one out.

It's fed from here, another cottage next door.

A pair of 16mm t&e feeds 2 cottages from the henleys.
urmmmm i think it needs a bit more than an isolator.

[westward10]

There is a little nobble on it just pop it out with a flat screwdriver.

Yep, just a little downward pressure before sliding out.

What's wrong?.....looks like there's been an NIC domestic installer involved, all is rosy.

 

[Dustydazzler]

Its fine it has the NIC seal of approval sticker on it...

You’ll never be short of a Henley block after sorting that lot.
