Picture of the week!™

Well folks, its that time of the week again!

This week we have two CUs in a domestic property.

Want more?

See my updated hall of shame in the DIYnot wiki!

What size are the tails in the left hand side CU? What are they fused at?

 

[nozspark]

That wasn't installed, that was knitted

The left CU is fed in 6.0mm².

It is tapped straight of the top of the RCD main switch in the other CU. That is connected straight to the 100A incomming supply.

why are the breakers not all fitting properly

like Spark123 said, what are the tails on the left hand CU - are they linked from the right hand side CU?

edit: sorry, never noticed the above post from RF!!

All are Wylex but different model numbers and different casings.
It doesn't look to be the best of job though.

[Spark123]

Bus bars not shrouded, building debris in bottom of CU - not to IP4x?

 

[Lectrician]

And RCD as mains iso, crap workmanship, and a mess or trunk above.

 

[Spark123]

It is about as good as a split load, if the mains feeding the left hand CU was done correctly anyway.

What a mess the wiring inside those CUs is

What a mess of trunking above the CUs

I bet that you redid the setup so that it is all nice & neat, did you RF

Afraid not.

I was there to carry out a PIR. What a day to forget my camera

I'm not sure whodunnit, but I'd say probably not an electrician.
