See#12.....and the fixing holesI'm not sure these boards even had a cover over those bars, they are on the load side of the isolator and a lot of boards of that vintage didn't cover the bars on the load side. I'd agree with checking carefully for any thermal or mechanical damage caused by the termination....but otherwise, don't think I'd be overly concerned if I came across it on an EICR.
No that board never had busbar covers and how anyone can look for excuses to find that acceptable is beyond me.
There is a cover for the busbars, it was just loosely placed over as the offending cable prevents it being screwed down. I would have to notch out the cover to fix it down.Is it over 3 meters? Lol
I agree but I would not like to make a judgement on a non recommended ad hoc connection that it does not pose a danger as you have nothing to gauge it against. It is difficult to see but the only way that lug can be fitting flat to the busbar is if it has broken the plastic busbar support which it looks like it has.There's a difference between finding something acceptable to do and finding an existing bodge dangerous enough to recommend immediate disconnection.
