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:

Todays EICR, one supply feeding two static caravans

Oh yes, it has been tested every 3 years since the the present owners of the site moved in, so thats at least 2 tests that had no faults found.....

Who needs prescribed zones anyway?

Live cables left plastered in a bathroom wall. Only came to light when the client removed a mirror and was doing some filling and the RCD tripped.

Looks like a disused feed for a mirror light.

Found this gem on an EICR today.

Part still wired in VIR, but also a newer part that I thought might be better...

Always nice to see a TN-S-C install in the wild!

The yellow twist from a bag of bread or similar was a nice touch I felt!

Is that a looped N ?

I have seen some very strange lighting where you have 1 SL but a pair of Ns at the light

TN-C-C

TN-C-C

In theory it was a TN-S supply (with bonding clamp round metal incomer obviously...) - though Ze was low enough to suggest it was effective PME

I didn't have time to investigate fully in the loft, but seems to be a junction box above, with SL and N coming down, and then the extra wire from the N block to the earth block on the (metal) light fitting.

Half of the property in VIR that is falling apart, and the new part with all CPC cut short, or not connected at source.

Fortunately a bungalow, so lighting rewire should be relatively painless.

Sounds like a method of wiring using sheathed singles that I see commonly round here. Line loops from switch to switch, neutral from light to light, with a SL from switch to light.

Can't have it scratching that nice finish.

I bet the person who fitted that new consumer unit thought ' that is one pukka job ' might even add it to my insta page
