Picture of the week!™

Well folks, it's that time again!

How many faults can you spot?

This is a supply to a single socket, which takes the most convolouted route I think I have ever seen. They got one or two bits wrong on the way.

I've done a flow chart to help you work out what is going on in the pictures.

White & red done, Makers Mark and a herbal ciggy beckon - it can wait.

OK since all the professionals are either too tired or too drunk to start off ... Am I misunderstanding your diagram? Is 10->11 0.75mm on a 20A fuse and 5->6 2.5mm on a 100A?

Is 10->11 0.75mm on a 20A fuse and 5->6 2.5mm on a 100A?

Can be acceptable to put smaller cables before suitable protective device under regs depending how/where it's done.

I think I have spotted it. The Mr Muscle clearly says it is for use in the kitchen, and yet that doesnt look like a kitchen to me!!!Am I right or am I right!! I am good.

heres a few -

is that 2.5 singles withh 100A protection at 5>6 and 5>8 ?
whats with the yellows into each phase at 5?
1.5 singles with 20A protection at 8>9
nice gland arrangement between 5>9
what was the point of 10>11, when the iso is attached to machine it supplies.
-0.75 under 20 A protection.
-Would like to know the FLC of the machine

oh, and some git has knicked the lids of most of the enclosures

 

[RF Lighting]

The lids were removed for photographic purposes

Yep, you're right with all the ones you've spotted so far, but we got more...

Not sure on the FLC of the machine. Found the rating plate but it was blank. AFAIK, the supply is just for a hydraulic pump, so probably not a huge load.

of course there is more... but is that spur wired in blue+black... could be interesting regarding polarity

(I know that wiring single phase circuits according to which phase it was on was common practice for some contractors, but I don't think that for final circuits it was ever permitted.... only submains could be coloured this way!)

That was in at least the 15th regs 1984,exception as part of a 3 phase final circuits obviously.
That spur may be newer than that , judging by the size of the fuse holder bit.
