Evenin' all

We had this sent to us by the gaffer today asking us how many faults we could count, what do you reckon?

No Dave, they're just there stopping the MCBs from floating about.

Its chaos, apparently a Portugese 'handyman' did this for them, they called him back because everything was tripping, and he 'sorted it'. I literally have no idea what the hell he thought he was doing. No certs of course, obviously no testing.

I think I got up to 8. And thats just whats inside the board, let alone if he did anything else around the gaff

aye....and we all know how he did that...dont we....lol...

That's to prevent nuisance tripping.

What they should have done, is jog it along two spaces, then they wouldn't of had to use that big blue wire.

What a disaster! It does not look like there is a N connection on the lh N terminal strip. I counted about 8 & I aint qualified!

I think you'll find that the very dark green conductors at the right of the earth bar, are in fact black and they are linking the earth and left hand neutral bars.
There's a brown conductor linking the right hand neutral bar to the earth bar, so it's all connected somewhere, and there's no need to worry about a neutral earth link at the servic cut out.

 

[Thefailsafe2012]

Doesnt look like the right hand side has got one either, that neutral link looks like its hanging right out

 

[GLENNSPARK]

a bit of homemade PME...

Looks to me like the £150 cu upgrade that we have all heard about,if you pay such a small fee you can expect this garbage.

Some of the Eastern European countries link there earth and neutral bars.
Some even do it in their machinery.
