Beautiful job mate, love a nice tidy board!

These jobs are being done on a price, this board was part of an upgrade on a property, if I told you the price for changing this board it would bring a tear to your eye. I does mine uke:

Someone that must be fightened of his own shadow springs to my mind!!

Absolute Rubbish!!

You'll have far more chance of the Separate CPC's failing, than the metal containment system. Along with more chance of failing compliance on conduit fill ratio's. ....lol!!

Next you'll be telling us to run T&E cables in metal containment systems...

I have always thought you would see a lot more metal conduit/trunking systems were most people not running in unnecessary cpc's. 25% less cable, smaller trunking/conduit runs etc. Then along comes mr. 'just in case' who decides to start speccing Cpc's in tube and it becomes un-cost effective. So now, to keep costs down, instead of proper all metallic conduit systems we have twin in basket. - brilliant!
The prophecy is entirely self-fulfilling - sparks don't do as much conduit and are less quick at it, costs of conduit etc. rises as less is used, cost of T+E and basket falls as more is used. and suddenly conduit becomes a rarity.

Which is safer in the end. - An entirely metal conduit installation with no cpc's. Or hundreds of twins with single strand cpc's strung around in basket?

That is a work of art, can't see any spare ways, but regardless a work of art

Clearly a case of ' I bought this roll of tape, and by God i'm gonna use it' syndrome

Just 1 on the main switch. Would of been 2 spare but had to split the ring into 2 radials. The price for it is crap on this contract but I try to still keep it half decent despite the price. Price work breeds **** work and apprentices who are taught on price are a recipe for disaster but that's for another time .

I actually got out of the office and went to site with my tools last week. I was there and working for a full day installing a panel I had previously put together in the workshop....a full day.... I even impressed myself. I was going to post a few pictures but the camera's in the car, it's raining and I only have socks on so it will have to wait for anther night.

Are your shoes in the car as well?

 

[Marvo]

Not sure where they are, think the wife might have hidden them.

 

[dan86]

Hidden them, or just tidied up?

 

[Marvo]

Okay here's the panels;









And here's me doing a full days work on site;

 

[Marvo]

Oh she's definitely hidden them but she'll claim she just tidied them up because I just kicked them off into the middle of the lounge when I arrived home.

 

[onions1066]

Thanks for that, what's the panel controlling?
