Phase down...

Good job last week... old soldered lug on some 150mm tails come loose...likely age. Arcing/heat caused solder to leak from lug joint and blow a 300 amp fuse in an old switch fuse which welded shut. Tried to upload images but struggling on my phone.

Looks like a proper electricians job.

Can the DNO still fully open their ISU door?... might be the photo angle but looks close.

Love this kind of work, get to do it alot with all the factories I frequent with their antiquated installs.

Yes it's clear in front... really good work ive done a couple of similar jobs, great when they come up. Removed all internal mechanical gear from the switch fuse on the right so new 185mm cables just pass through onto busbar... cables on incoming to be replaced by npower who wouldnt attend for 21 day.. shocking service... Had a friend from Scots power out to pull fuses so could do works... the cutout had 2 8mm shrub screws for cable atleast 150mm... the cable end had cable wound around the end to force into terminal. Not good. I had planned on putting new cables to the cutout to be connected by n power etc. But had to chop and put into new switch fuse at bottom in images.
