The boss' last CU in an eco house we just completed.

Not having a pop, just a general observation based purely on my own views on CU/DB cable terminations... The overall CU cable dressing arrangement looks pretty much fine to me...

Is it normal not to use crimped terminations for multi stranded cables such as those flying leads supplied on RCBO's etc?? Don't really like to see bare conductors on bars or entering device terminations either....

i have to say i hate the tails inner and outer sheath cut the same length, i see it as bad practice

View attachment 11492This is what I found today when doing a test on a solar pv install which someone that used to work for the company had done the install but company had no test results, all done from a major player in rewires in Glasgow which I think is shocking terrible terrible practise

crap... and they call themselves electricians..

Have to admit I never noticed this with my untrained eye but will question this next time I see him. I know we ran out of blue tails and he had to use brown for the neutral (marked blue as you can see) which maybe makes that one excusable but certainly not the live.

New consumer unit for my parents. House is about 1970 with original MEM fuseboard and additional 2 way board for extension. They're getting old now, so we decided that it would be a good idea to locate the new CU at a convenient height and extend all the final circuits with a DIN rail box and terminals from Wago. I also put in an isolator, which made for a more relaxed install, as the chap from EDF only had to visit once in the morning and I could connect up later. ** (EDF won't supply and fit an isolator themselves.)

** Edit: Much later! Extending all the circuits adds quite a bit of time to the job.
