Hi Everyone
I don't do a great deal of commercial work and would appreciate your comments on the following: -
I had to replace the existing downlighters & Emergency Exit signs in a Hotel recently, when I went to isolate said circuits I found them to be fed via two 3 phase boards in the Kitchen, on closer examination & testing before isolation I was surprised to find that I had 230v between line & neutral but 0v between phases. On closer examination I found that these two boards were being fed from another location via swa.
Opening the cupboard in a back office I was greeted by a right mess, the phases from the meter has been split via Henley blocks, one of which has been used to supply all three terminals of a 3 phase Switchfuse this feeds the two 3 phase boards in the kitchen via the swa, the second board in the kitchen is piggy backed from the first board.
Please see attached photos
This just doesn't look right to me and I would appreciate any comments before I complete the EIC.
I apologise for the poor quality of the mobile phone photos.
