Same. I imagine this is pretty robust comms with or without shielded cable.

Why not just isolate and prove dead, instead of getting dressed up in rubberwear?

Poor woman, not much of a life.

What 60204 says is irrelevant in this instance, though.

Ah, OK. You're doing the new bits and he's joining the new bits into the old bits.

What's your electrician actually doing if you're doing all the terminating? I thought from your original post you were running in the cables?

No need to apologise, mine was a light hearted dig :)

Maybe try reading my post rather than shopping around?

I read the same, it was a comment regarding what seemed to be a suggestion that 700 euros was expensive.

700 euros to bury 70m of cable doesn't seem expensive to me TBH.

Nope, other than that, looks OK to me. For info, if the box was metal, then it could be an "exposed conductive part", meaning it could become live under fault conditions (a loose live conductor touching the box for example), and would therefore require earthing. As it's not conductive, made of...

Apart from looking like a bodge, the earthing arrangements are OK, although the earth should be fully sleeved rather than a bit of tape on half of it.. The box is plastic, no point in earthing it. Also no point in linking the two earth terminals on the faceplate together, theres a galvanised bar...

Are there a number of heater elements switched in for the different power settings? Is one of them knackered, or the controls/thermostat that switch it on knackered? I would imagine the neon indicators are driven from the same power supplying the elements/controls for that heater.

Why?

Is it a requirement to have IP2X terminals? If it isn't it should be, and certainly is in control panels.
