Hall of Shame Photos

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!

Have to be careful though, I had to get the last lot I posted removed because Enviro Health decided to prosecute the "owner of said tested install".

A "professional" company's idea of a c/u change? They gave me 2 hours to run a new cooker circuit, 2 x FCU's in the kitchen with chasing out and "sort out" /wire up the cu?????

Cu not straight, half on half off the back board, rats nest of cables resting on the incomer and gas pipe! New bonding and main earth to rod could have been done by Picasso. O the only straight bit is my 6mm t+e at the top. I no longer work for them!

Just one from the industrial side. This switch board was so rotten it fell over when I tried to turn a switch off. Try being the operative word, it took me 3 days to get in to it to change a bl**dy fuse.

Hahaha!! haven't seen switchboards like that since i first started in the industry, ....and they were replaced before any chance of working on them, along with all the old MV oil breakers!!!

I bet there are still a good few of them about too, in the older but cleaner, and less corrosive factories...

They may look a bit tatty, and may have been installed well over half a century or more

At least the switchgear was robust ,mostly cast iron,corrosion has taken its toll,but its still interesting to come upon these installations, they do at least jog the memory

The famous how close to a sink can a socket outlet be? Can anyone point to an exact regulation?
