My last 'non Amd 3' CU Install.

Dave OCD · Dec 21, 2015

Put this in today, I hope it doesn't burst into flames.:tongue3: Didn't have the time to faff about and get the cabling 'perfect' as I had so much to do today but I think it's ok. With the BG boards I generally 're number' the earth bar as to me it's illogical having the CPCs running in the opposite order of the neutrals,I'll miss the insulated CUs. Sorry about the
poor photo.

Some guys as can be here do some fantastic work. One of my colleagues does the most exceptional consumer units/dis boards. Mine are ok, not bad but just not the kind of electrical perfection than others strive for. His takes days and he moans about everything, mine take a few hours and have never spontaneously combusted or had any call backs. On my company I'm the lackey, the lackey who is actually cost effective though.

This is the trouble, I always do the very best and neatest job I can but also within a realistic timescale to earn a living,be competitive and provide a value for money service. So I reckon I'm working twice as hard as many, no wonder I'm knackered.

Is this a new build mate? I thought consumer units were supposed to be a certain max height now for access and this looks to be above a door. Not questioning your install at all as I know I'll have this the wrong way round, just raising the question for my own learning.

Thanks

id this a TT system??????

Could you expand on this with specific explanation for my learning?

What are you talking about ? That kind of comment deserves a proper explanation and right now I'm offended.

It might be a good idea at this point if you were to present some proof of your great standards.
