What to do with the CPC's

[richy3333]

Saw this today whilst doing a EICR
Having crammed 8 cables into a 4 way junction box the installer decided to connect the CPC up on the back outside the box. None of it's sleeved either, Nupty! Standards are slipping

Yep, used to be the norm quite a few years ago. A bigger JB would be the answer now.

I see all that in my sisters loft. Slowly but surely re-wiring the place as she decorates 

Hi richy3333, have you tried the wago boxes & connectors? Think that they would be ideal for this situation.

Hi White Armour.
Yeah I use Wago's all the time. I'll need to finish the EICR off and then hopefully the customer will give me the remedial's to do. To be fair there is a lot worse wrong. Thermal damage in a CU, the front missing off a 3 phase board and no RCD protection anywhere is currently higher up the priority list

There's times I wish the youngsters in the trade would remember electricity was around before the 17[SUP]th[/SUP] edition.
You say standards are slipping, I’ll agree, but which way are thay slipping?

It’s the lawyers leading the way now not engineers.

25years ago an electrician would issue a guarantee of his workmanship, not a wad of papers covering his arse!

Hi Tony.
Of course you have no idea of my age, so it was nice to be called a youngster.
The smiley face indicated that I was being jokey about standards slipping - at least that was my intention
