Tripping issue with new installed 13 Way Dual Split Consumer Unit 2x100A RCDs (Type A) + 12 MCBs + SPD

Was it on special price?
You might have been able to get a Proteus, Fusebox or Hager full RCBO board for not much more.

You will need to fill the gap at the end though. Is that a bell transformer?
 
What makes you think he's not a pro ? Doing such a nice job.


I don't know what that's got to do with it.

The first pic showed Cu pre wired initially which was then altered I wouldn't call that a simple mistake,

It needed to be tested before being energised not after.

His profile says “electrical enthusiast/ unqualified hobbyist” So, no, he’s not a pro. With a name like Chippy Minton, he’s either a joiner or lives in Camberwick Green :D

Just an observation. Not all sparks that are cps members are competent… in my opinion…
It’s like the cps give membership on however much the fee is, and the evidence of 1 job per year… which could cover dozens of workers.

Unintentionally altered. Once disconnected, it wouldn’t be hard to mistakenly put it in the wrong bar.

True. Maybe I should have said “report done on the house”
 
Unlucky for a DIYer to pick up a CU, wrongly pre-wired. I think an electrician would have said "what the *uck" when they opened the box and saw how the neutrals were wired, clearly incoming and outgoing neutral leads to the say bar was never going to work, i would hope a pro would have spotted it as they were mounting it.
Generally i take all the guts out anyway to mount the enclosure, do all the knock outs etc, so a wrongly wired Cu from factory is neither here no there.
