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:

 

[Strima]

Aged relative: Can you replace my kitchen light fitting?

Me: OK.

Me: I'll be back after Xmas to sort out that mess your husband did...

 

[freddo]

No idea why:

15A fusewire.

 

[Darkwood]

It was probably nuisance tripping, adding the wire will up the rating of the fuse and share any inrush currents... done this loads of times (sarcasm alert for non electricians )

 

[telectrix]

shocking. should have had some red tape on it.

 

[freddo]

It's ok, the wire is hidden when the cover is in place. Though someone has written on the circuit label that a fuse wire has been fitted in way 1...

Aaarr that's ok then I can't see what the problem is then.

 

[freddo]

I wonder what the breaking capacity is of a fuse wire sandwiched between 2 MCBs?

 

[LeeH]

Any old breaker will do....

Not so much trade pic, but anyway Guy calls me up because he can't get any power to work in his garage, so turned up to take a look.

Straight away he goes on about how he has wired up many garages, its really easy.

Took cover off the DB and, it confirms my suspicion he didn't know what he was doing......

Also, what's the incoming supply and cable size, looks pretty small for if that board were to get more loaded?

Disagree, he's obviously well read in the 18th and has implemented his own interpretation of surge protection.

OOH! My metal plate thingies aren't shiny like those two at the bottom....mine are covered in some boring plastic stuff...I must take that off and get the brass polish out...

3 fans all installed the same.

No containment, just lashed in across the floor in 0.75 flex.
