scroll forward to about the 10 min mark , genius.. :)
 
there is not much there that i like.
and yes, right at the beginning he said he was going to cut some strands to fit it in earth bar.

Honestly, some strands missing from a 25mm earth cable are not likely to cause you any issues here, but its not right and I am amazed he has shown off this consumer unit change, nothing there to be proud of.
 
Nice to see the NIC AC standards haven't slipped...

Would have been easier to move the board up 10mm and re-terminate the SWA.

Chopping the earth strands out is just cowboyish and no fault rectification before hand? What happened to only energise when safe to do so?
 
I’ve only been doing electrics for about 22-23 years so not that long compared to most on here.
but I can hand on heart say that I have never put Henley blocks inside a fuse board...
im a fan of Delroy , but there was several easier ways to get the cable to stretch to the switch
 
If that was me and it was an all metal board, I would have just swapped out the MCB's for RCBO's and been done, oh yes and tidying up those cables too what a mess to start with! And he could of split the 25mm earth over two terminals if it wouldn't fit into 1.
Poor from Del, I usually like his stuff but the last couple have made me start to wonder.

More important than torque, is to settle the strands of the cable as you tighten the screws. Pity that a few more meter installers aren't familiar...
