Two consumer units

[holychihuahua]

Two consumer units and meters. One pair for a flat above a shop and the other set for the shop. The armoured cable rising diagonaly above the consumer unit ajacent to the building electric supply feeds the the shop meter and consumer unit in an other basement room.

It makes me laugh when spark come on the forums and asking about the jobs they do are doing or going .
Say your other half comes in with a dress and its tucked in there nickers
And you about to go out would you say
You look nice or would you say you are only half dressed .its a s&&t job.

Unless I am wrong Buzz the O.P. is a plumber maybe his from the other side and sees the forum of sound advice. Why his reasons for asking is another matter.

The BS951 clamps are not good.

Wait a minute. Are those two meters in series?

I'd say the second one is possibly for accommodation above the shop so they can be charged privately.

What the actual **** is that? I'm guessing this is a builder that does electrics then?

There seems to be a general lack of understanding of how many layers of insulation need to be on cables, and how to attach them to the wall. And various other details.

I presume you're referring to mechanical protection (i.e. sheath)?

Yes the layer of steel wire cable reinforcement.

Yes the layer of steel wire cable reinforcement.

I would have expected an armoured cable run to terminate at a metal / plastic trunking or metal / plastic cabinet through a gland nut set before the cores reach there final destination of connection.

Its someone who doesn't know what they are doing.

Just wanted to hear electricians thoughts on install. This is another install from the same team.View attachment 50449

No, just no.

Yes indeed, I should have said 'layers of plastic' rather than insulation, as the sheath is not insulation.

The tails from the cutout to the meter look neat

I’m not sure if that was intended to be funny but either way it was lol

 

[Taylortwocities]

Appalling.
I don't know what the fuse is that the T&E going to the meter is, but I hope its a small one!
Also, it is not permitted to have single insulated conductors like those dangling from the T&E sheaths. They must be insulated and sheathed cables (aka "meter tails").

That is Awsome that when are you free to come round mine.

Has someone actually paid money for this he askes as he faints in horror.

Hope nobody ever enters these premises let alone lives there.
