Problem with lucy box and meter installer

[prideofengland]

Hi

Ive been working on a development of 10 appartments, the meter guys have now been but I noticed that on several meters the meter tails have not enterered the lucy box in pairs through the same entry holes, some have lives and neutrals entering via differant holes.

Now I always thought that this could cause a current to be induced in steel of any switchgear if its ferrous.

Am I right? and if so how likely is this to happen? Is it worth getting them back to rectify it? I dont want to leave the job if its unsafe but dont want to split hairs either.

Cheers

It can happen, it does happen, that's why it's against the regs. If the cables are taken through seperate holes you need to cut a slot between them to prevent eddie currents

Get on the blower and get them back, lazy ignorant sods, make a complaint whilst at it.

Ok thats what I thought, I will get the meter fixers back to rectify it.

Thanks

Get the DNO back and complain bitterly about their DANGEROUS installation. State that you/householder will hold them solely responsible for any damage caused!
