How’s work today ? My beer keeps getting warm

[James]

That's the sort of job that normally starts with a phone call from customer saying something along the lines of.
Can you pop round soon, I think there's something wrong with my leccy box thing.
its not urgent, everything is still working!

Not such a good view today

Slight resemblance to a cyber man

 

[Jon Bateson]

Going to reprint the label. More use as a sticker than most on the front of boards

 

[Jon Bateson]

This wasn’t even a call out. I found it whilst quoting for a new shower feed. Two other quotes already received by customer from other sparks and neither had seen any issues ?????

 

[Charlie_]

TBF it’s quite a common occurrence and not necessarily dangerous

 

[Jon Bateson]

I think it was pretty dangerous in the environment it was in, the garage was packed with boxes etc etc. Would you add 40-50 A extra load without raising it as an issue ?

 

[Charlie_]

No..
Before increasing the load by 40 to 50 amps I would always submit a network enquiry form to the DNO

 

[Jon Bateson]

Good answer Charlie. But do you really ??

 

[Charlie_]

Good answer Charlie. But do you really ??

Yes, of course..
Who wouldn’t?

OK chaps, from a trainee point of view what are we looking at here? Im looking at that and seeing a TNS in coming that has over heated causing pitch to run out? What is the 'cyberman' looking thing? Is this down to too higher consumer load with an over rated DNO fuse?
