**Show Us Your Installs!!!**

[Spudnik]

Right chaps,

Due to a few unavoidable issues, we have lost the original thread and pics etc.

Sorry about that!!!

So, if you want to re-upload your pics then great, if not, give us something new!


Cheers!!

Not quite, if the accident would happen obviously it would be proven by investigation that it's has been manufactured wrong, but I would imagine if you would try to get your money back in the shop, saying it's getting to hot, they would try to blame it on you, on interfering with manufacturer. Although it probably depends on the people. I had spent half hour in the shop trying to prove that the rope light doesn't work because they have cut it in the wrong place

You would need to remove the Din Rail assembly when fitting and bringing cables into the CU, so you have already interfered with how the manufacturer presented the CU. Trimming and cutting of RCD tails to size etc will in no way whatsoever, affect any warranty or put any onus on you for doing so. Providing of course that all subsequent connections are electrically sound.

Retailers and wholesale counter staff are generally muppets at the best of times, it's just another occupational hazard that all electricians have to contend with!! lol!!

"The line connectors........."

You mean conductors right ?

Well if you're going to be pedantic it's best to be accurate otherwise someone might come along and tear you a new --- for your own errors.
;-)

I don't know why I typed that word. I think I must have been in such severe shock after seeing that pig's ear of an installation that I couldn't concentrate fully. Daz

Lots of pretty colours ... if you have to use incorrect clips/cleats for the cable i would have thought you could have made it look a tad neater by either inverting both cleats or using 1 cleat opened up into a bridge... but hey ho im a perfectionist so don't be offended.

TBH a bit of 2/2 white plastic trunking would have taken this job to the next level just at a cost of a few extra quid ... but all in all not too bad.

Or a bit of panel trunking

Very very nice, that's the neatest CU I've seen and will be one I keep in mind so any I work on I can work towards that sort of quality, nicely done!

I’ve been retired a while, as I recall the conductor is the bit under the insulation. Have things changed?

Things move on obviously, not to that extent surely.

Fair do's ... as long as the customer gets the options up front its up to them to pick how you proceed but my comment was because it would have taken less than 15mins and probably a piece (offcut) out of any company stock and even a new piece wouldn't be that much to buy; Labour and materials - I would have been surprised if topping the quote with £20 quid wouldn't have covered it.

Boydy

its two single board become a 17th edition board..

 

[sparks123]

second single board

 

[guest119]

So the installation does not have one main switch?
Maybe the DNO one will be the main switch?
