Something just doesnt feel right

[magnoliafan89]

hi guys

Could be wrong but doing a condition report and come across this. Pretty typical for this block of maisonettes to have swa coming from the main building supply into an adaptable box and this set up.

However I've noticed this one has the neutral go straight into the main switch and has a link from the meter....

Could be fine but something is just saying it doesn't feel right.

Is this OK or not??

From the banjo on the SWA in the first picture. (fly lead) i.e. the earth lead to MET from the gland of the SWA.

How does it work with no neutral, unless I am seeing the wrong thing?

Mate you got me confused now ??
He was up and running when I got there. I presume it works with the fact the neutrals share the same connection on the main switch??

That makes two of us, not meant to confuse though!

I wouldn't have installed it like that, mostly to avoid having to fit 2 'large' cables into the main switch terminal.

It has a neutral, just wired in completely the wrong way

Admittedly this is a bit thick, but for the life of me I cannot see that neutral. I can see a neutral from the supply side going to the CU with the neutral supply in the main switch but not the feed side at the meter. How will that work at the meter? Yours confused. I have had a long day I suppose.

The SWA blue core goes into the main switch, then a grey cable loops out of the switch terminal, goes back through the adaptable box and down to the supply N terminal in the meter.

the connection method of the live... looks like a chocblock wrapped in tape.

It looks to me like a Legrand line tap, which might be adequate for the job current-wise, but it's still shoddy floating around in the box like that, with one cable exiting without mechanical restraint.
