New wiring colours

[rmaynard]

Can't understand how experienced sparks do this

colour blind?

Looks a rough Job actually, I can see a couple of things I would never do, and thats not the obvious colour mix up either which is pretty bad in itself.

 

[telectrix]

looks like it's been done by a plumber.

Why do you say 'Experienced' ... do you know who did it or did the customer say he was an Electrician .... he may have just been as is obvious a bodgit and scarper with a charm to hoodwink the customer..

I particularly like the use of the spoil from the coupler holes as washers. And the way it's fixed through the flimsy vent at the back rather than the recessed keyhole slots.

And the colours ? I can only assume it was done by a not very clued up spark during the colour change over period.

I hope he coupled the other end up as well ffs !!

Whilst on topic, i have a quick question. When terminating cable that is identified by number, black insulation, screen printed with core number, who goes further and sleeves or tapes the relevant cores with the corresponding colours? Or just leaves them to be identified through the printed number?

Ha ha I like it shows initiative, home made washers...lol classic

Looks like a new Hager board so can't of been during change over period, unless his change over period is 10 years??...

Ah but what does experienced mean? maybe he was an experienced roadsweeper lol

Probably works for a large approved contractor.And under the umbrella of ECA NICEIC or such like.
Is told after 6 months with the company. Your doing really well for a lad thats come straight from school.
Now I'm going to give you a 20p an hour raise, and give you a bit more responsibility.
The other lads are all tied up on other jobs, so I want you to pop along and have a go at a board change.
Do you think I can trust you with that ?? Good lad knew I could.

I always sleeve or tape the numbered cores as you can't guarantee how different sparks will connect them. I use 1-3 as L1-L3, 4 neutral & 5 earth, but some one else may think the earth is most important so should be core 1!
