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:

Ok just to update I carried out an "insulation resistance test " across all cables and the lowest reading was between line and earth 545 meg at 500 volt so ok for now . Not sure what damage the water will do to the cable over time but just looks ruff to me .Thereis no mechanical protection where it leaves the conduit and goes into the duct. It's in one of those places that will probably be used as a store so a potential for the possible damage to the cable in the future.

Pvc is not waterproof just water resistant. Water is a solvent and will eventually penetrate the cable.

The grey sheath is the cab;es mech protection, but I get your drift.

Thanks westward . The circuits are on rcbos so I'm sure they will start tripping when the pvc breaks down . I will report my findings .

Yes your right .I should of said the cable is not suitable for the environment

 

[Midwest]

Not many cables are suitable to be laid in water Cables in water

It looks like the duct was full of water as it comes out underneath a jet wash bay with a grid floor so a bit of a poor design all round

Glad hotels are taking electrical safety seriously. I particularly like the bit of red wire jammed in the L and N to stop it being used, Extra safe.

Needs sorting PDQ

Switched off, notice in place jobs a goodun.

Personally I'd have glued a socket cover in to the socket until it was sorted. Finally, a use for them!

The red wires are attached to the plug pins/back plate that is still inserted in the socket, the wires would normally be connected to the PCB of whatever cheap charger was there and has now parted into two pieces. If the socket is switched on the wires would become live. Surely it wouldn't have been difficult to pry the remains out of the socket, it would have taken less time than printing the sign!

Looks like another DIY job.

Sleeving and fixing over rated just slows ya down ?

I don't know if it was switched off, the rest of the sockets in the room were live and I stayed in that room for three weeks. The notice was there when I arrived and when I left.
