Why the additional G/Y cpc's with the SWA's in the pic BTW?

Are they SWA even?? lol!!

just earthing the motor frame

 

[Knobhead]

Just why did you feel it necessary to run a separate CPC to the motor, or to anything else for that matter?

The install looks dog rough. No thought to layout at all.

Score 1/10. Only because you say it works.

So why add an additional cpc to the motor frame?
I don't follow your train of thought, these cables/wires run straight to the motor?
Are they SWA, they look like from what I can see.
Is the G/Y 6491 type?

If so do the cable manufacturers OK the cable for "moving" loads because normal SWA & 6491 is not suitable for connection to moving loads.
I trust that you have the cable manufacturers OK on this as if it does come under BS7671 then you will need it.
Though it may not come under BS7671, and then...

the cables were already wired to the motor (3core and earth flex ) i just earthed
the frame as the guy who does maintenance on the church is a bit of a meddler

.

as for rough its in a cellar lol ..................tell u what your all a bit over sensitive on this site
i am polish tho

 

[Darkwood]

We are not over sensitive we are professional and that naturally gives way to comments on installs that fall short of our own standards, also remember you have gained a lot of helpful advice since your opening post and put it into practice so try take the criticism with the free help as this too will aid you in future projects

So you BONDED the motor frame back to the starter, did you use 6491 type wire?
