On a totally different job i was called out to i came across this fitted by a so called electrician.

The bottom of the rcd is feeding straight out to the RFC.
How he thought that a 63amp RCD on it's own would comply with regulations is beyond me.I had to removed the enclosure and fit a larger one so that i could fit a 32 amp mcb next to the RCD as it needed.
The guy even charged ÂŁ330 just to fit that unit!

It saddens me that cowboys like this get away with it and tarnish qualified electricians in the process.:mad:
 
In all fairness the inspector probably (but not certainly)exceeded the 5 weeks of some of his applicants.

This whole cps thing just gets worse,time as long since past that it should have been shelved

BAD SPELLING john sh r

My post above received a bad spelling award from the guy named john sh r
I am only an average guy john and me being Welsh doesn't help :cry:

The ironic thing is he has never posted one word on the forum himself :rolleyes:
