This is one of my latest boards, just about finished second year of apprenticeship (Scotland) what do you think?

Set that bar nice and high why don't you mate Honestly that is fantastic.
Here's one of mine.

It's a bit cack by comparison

Very high standards indeed Trev from the trainees. Yours is good as well mate

I had a day trip up to your neck of the woods on Wednesday working for Steve doing an EICR on 20+ caravan hook up points/cu's. I will says this, not one of them c/u's were as good as the photos on here! Some long time served sparks need to buck there ideas up! Pulled 10 of the hook ups for not having an earth rod and using the metal din rail as the MET, I should have taken some photo's to discuss in here.

There's a couple of cock ups in that CU Paul,posted it up to see if our trainees could spot them. Overall I was happy with it but......

What size is the conductor in the first MCB on this right hand side?

Identification on the Neutral tail with some blue Tape perhaps!

 

[trev]

I did put some blue tape on it before we left but because the terminals were marked clearly L and N it was more out of habit than anything else. I can't remember what size that conductor was mate but I think it was a 2.5.
It's purely aesthetic things you're looking for by the way. I'll give you a free one for starters, the second MCB from the left- the cable entering it doesn't have the same sweep into it thatthe 2 adjacent ones do.

I have just come out my time before Xmas and I have a few pics from over the years hopefully in years to come I'll produce excellent quality work. The last picture was my first ever solo
attempt at doing a bored I was really happy with it but obviously there much I can improve on so any advice would be superb regards adam

@ Trev..... Neutral conductors on RCD (left hand side) are not in the correct terminations corresponding to their MCB's. There are a few more things I've seen Via a blurred picture, lets see who picks up on them??? I like this game Trev

Elliot that is just sex in a plastic box, very well done. Puts Trev and me to shame.

Ps I like that all the Live busbars are in perfect alignment. That is something that gets overlooked in the field, nice one.

Pictue #5 circuit 23-L1. Incoming is a RFC but you have 3 outgoing cables? Have you done a spur to a single point in the Din rail? It is absolutely fine, I'm just interested?

And yes Adam, all your picks are sexy. These are the standards we should all aspire to and install. Well done, keep them pics coming.

They are in the right terminations mate, it's a bit blurred but they are all in the right holes I promise. Btw it's the third MCB on the left that doesn't have the right sweep into it not the second as I said earlier.

I like the game too so what I'm thinking of doing is to take pics of deliberate mistakes to see if the trainees can spot them (then put them right before I finish of course) Might even knock a practice board up so I can put x number of faults on it for them to spot.
I think it'll be good practice for them for when they come to do the big lads testing exams.

Trev I could not make out the terms from the bad blurred picture so that is my fault mate, sorry.


As for posting up pictures of deliberate faults! You are a genius!!!! Lets have a chat over the weekend and sort something out, this should be fun for all of us
