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

Are you bolting your hilmor down when bending or have you got a hydraulic/electric bender?

No bolting, my Hilmor is an older model that has a bit more meat on it though. It takes all my strength to bend 32mm, especially as I'm only little. I do have a hydraulic bender for 1 1/5" and 2" conduit though. 4 bends in each length here.

What sin is the tape covering?

Top bending though, I'd have gone through a mule of pipe just to do one of those, badly.

It's keeping the conduits flat on the floor for the photo

So here was today’s task getting a Schneider MCCB Panel unloaded and built up. The panel came in 3 sections with all MCCB’s installed. The largest section being 2M high, 1.95M wide and weighing 640Kg.

It had to be turned on it’s side to squeeze it in.

Not much room lol and then there was the stairs.

Old containment got in the way so that was chopped. All getting redone anyway so not a problem.

Finally get onto the home straight. Just to get into room and joined together.

Drum roll please....the finished panel set in place and bolted together.

Next task is to get the 240mm AWA singles into it.

Nice job, shame about the manky old pyro shroud though [A reused supply cable from the original DB ?]

Yeah it was reused, but being that is was a school, they did not really have the available cash to replace the submain, but it tested out fine, over 1000Megs, the length of the run back to the incomer was about 30-35m. Not far really, but a a right pain of a route, so we stuck with it, the painters gave it a lick of white paint and it looked ok,

If it is in good condition and suitably sized why would you want to replace it?

absolutely, MICC lasts almost forever if the pots are done correctly. I was always told when i was at college, 80years would be possible for MICC if it was installed correctly

 

[Dave OCD]

I'm sure it could last 100 or more years, my point wasn't about re using the MICC , just an observation about the scruffy old shroud.

Used another Fusebox board today. 12 Type A RCBOs, 14 Way SPD Board and the tails for £195 + VAT. Really like these boards!

And yes I did put a safety electrical connection sticker on before I left.
