Discuss What would you do with this? in the Electrical Wiring, Theories and Regulations area at ElectriciansForums.net

Hi all

Went to see a man about a dog a while back and whilst I was there was chatting as you do about things and I mentioned I am an electrician. The now customer/man asked me to carry out some work for him and said he knew of some nuisance tripping faults, would I mind having a look and repair.

Let me know what you think if you were presented with this, I said before I do anything this needs a tidy up and testing. He called today and asked when I could get back to carry out phase 1, this is going to be fun.

Nice upselling there but I don’t think saying it needs testing just because it is untidy is correct.

Pretty standard to come actoss DBs like this. Especially ones that were fitted some time ago.

Half a day’s work sorting that out.
 
Is that 3 single phase circuits using the white conductors?
BS 951 on the armour?

Is this a training centre test rig?

Good spot, the 3 single phase circuits are something to do with the PV install, the breakers are 3 single phase units joined with a copper wire in the switch mechanism. Hats off to whoever did this, but pretty certain this will be rectified.

Some of the SWA cables are terminated with a bonding strap rather than glanded, this is half the problem in this board, there is not a lot of space and the SWA's are taking up precious space.

This is the worst I have seen for a while, I am thankful for this one to test my knowledge and skills at small works. I don't get many opportunities to rectify issues, merely do my bit and leave.
