well..i`v seen some crap of late but.....

[GLENNSPARK]

evening boys...

heres some pics of someones idea of a temporary supply at a site we went to look at today:



thats a 1.5 flat twin coming straight out of the head....the bullit had gone....replaced with....yep, you guessed it a bit of 6mm

here, take a closer peek...



heres the twin going out of the cutout area



and its off around the grounds...





a `joint` in the garage...



and here`s my solution to the issue...not perfect but...



temp supply with 25A RCD...i used some 2.5 3 core hi-tuff from the cutout and replaced the bullit with a 60A...the hi-tuff then feeds a single trailing socket...which then feeds the temp supply box via 13A BS1363 plugtop.....
the commando feeds the socket outlets (3 off) which have been placed at the bottom of the stairs of each dwelling....the existing wasn`t even earthed...it is now.....rod with a Zs of .97 at the furthest point...RCD times good...







there were various trades on site using a variety of class 1 & class 2 equipment oblivious to the potential dangers here....
the owner seemed surprised when i tugged this little lot claiming `well, its worked fine so far`...
getting to be a standard response just lately....:frown:

Wasn't getting at anyone mate I just responded to the 'rcd backed up quote' and wasn't having a dig there either tbh lol.
We're not only sparks we have to be diplomats sometimes as well cos when my 'bosses' say to me "how long is it going to take it's only 3 wires ffs".............I smile and after all this time I have hundreds of responses lol.

My fav is.............." Sorry but you haven't got a f'ixg clue what I'm doing so how the heck do you know how long it should take me..........or words to that effect

I've recently been doing the leccy, plumbing, gas & heating at my builder mate's house and he's been like a haversack - always hanging around me asking what I'm doing or telling me how to do it which does pee me off.

I tell him to go play in his sandpit or stack some building bricks and leave me alone to do the technical stuff.

i thought decorum to a geordie was a paint brush in 1 hand and a bacardi in the other.
