Trade pics for your enjoyment.

[westward10]

It is often said on here we criticise others work without having the conviction to show our own work. We have Dodgy Trade Pics For Your Enjoyment so let's show the other side. No job too small or to big, before or after let's see 'em. I can change the header if someone can think of a better one. I shall start the ball rolling with this considerable board change I did today

As a side note could not believe how difficult it was to get TP&N SPDs, our wholesalers all drew a blank. Out of stock waiting list.......... Got some online in the end after much Googling and phone calls.

I did think about putting a loop of all round band on, maybe next time I'm there.
Reason I didn't is that the CU entry is through a tails compression gland, and the isolator also has a cable clamp inside. Once it gets full of junk under there though they could get dragged about.

Yes a good point, where do you get them? Link?

20mm Bonding Nipple

(Or just ask your wholesaler)

Got them from here last time. Best price I could find without paying premium prices on "vintage lighting suppliers" websites.

Could you not have feed them up via the trunking , negating any need for the side entry gland

Could you not have feed them up via the trunking , negating any need for the side entry gland and having tails on show

Yes I could have done with a bit of forethought. The isolator and tails went in first for a temp supply though, plus the trunking was quite busy by the end of it.

Blooming net job thou , if I see a neat consumer unit then I automatically feel confident the rest of the job will be done to a good standard

Here's another CU for you all to take the P out of. This is the 'fusebox' brand and I thought it was good, 20 way board with 15 circuits. [Barn Conversion].

 

[westward10]

Need some 2mm bore green/yellow sleeving

 

[ChrisElectrical88]

The fusebox boards are a brilliant budget board. Im getting the RCBOs for 8 quid plus VAT now, mad cheap

 

[littlespark]

Needs some blanks at the far left. And the mainswitch is on too!! Living dangerous there.

Who stocks this brand? I thought 20 quid was good price for an rcbo (CEF proteus)

 

[Dustydazzler]

Far too neat for my liking...
