Hall of Shame Photos

[Wully]

On the back of a thread I started I thought I'd start this since there doesn't seem to be one and I'm sure we all have a right good few that would scare those in the know.

How many supplies does one need!

Cable Raggle Extra

Not so much Shame but old

Any idea of age?

It MUST be easier to do the job than to read the (?) instructions.

Did you get tired of looking like god? and what's your dog eating?

I tried running it through Google Translate and apparently the language it's written in doesn't exist or has yet to be invented.

Are those Gizmo's still around that sent the metre backwards while using the free leccy?? The one's i remember where 2 16mm singles coming out of an epoxy filled plastic IP type box.... Think they just rammed the two tail into the meter cable connections ....very quickly, ...to minimise the splashing and arching that went with it!! ...lol!!!

i remember them about 20 years ago, brings back memories!!!, i curiously got my hands on one and decided to open it up to see how it was made and it was basically a little cheap and nasty down convertor ac transformer wired up in reverse order nothing else.

Probably from "The Electricians Guide to the Building Regulations"

Glanding. Who needs it?

















And finally I think there's an urban myth going around that states if you chisel a big enough hole in the side of the fan housing you don't need a gland or a bush for the cable entry.

Shame when you can see it started off with some care then went down quicker than a .........!

 

[Richard Burns]

I mean, come on, with the number of cables forced through there you have to admit there is not enough room for a gland!

Oh, I've got enough pictures like this to post at least ten each day for the next week I had a clean-up of my pictures drive the other day so I pulled a few gems for you're perusal and enjoyment.

This 'installation' is exactly as it was. No covers were removed before the photo was taken.

And there's you complaining of people coming over to SA and installing electrics to there houses to meet the likes of BS7671, DIN/VDE, NEC etc etc!! lol!!!

 

[Marvo]

Lol, and that little comment just earned you a photo of a freezer defrost control panel installed to the BES666 regs (Bopthatswana Electrical Standards)

Marvo that is a thing of beauty mate. The installer must be so proud

 

[Marvo]

Makes me wonder when these bozo's step back and cast an eye over the fruits of their labours....what the hell goes through their minds?

Here's one more of a commercial lighting installation in a very high end restaurant, also done to the same irreproachable standards and codes.
