You find some great old stuff under floorboards. Interesting to see how much packaging has changed over the years on fag packets, crisps, etc. I found these.

Go for your first option but label them 1L1,1L2,1L3,2L1,2L2........etc

Nothing wrong with these places. It's the ignorant morons who go looking for gear without doing any research first and then expect to be spoon fed technical advice from people who are basically unskilled shop workers.

Very weird set up this one. Why would a site electrician get someone with no knowledge of contactors, timers or control circuits in to do the job. I think an electrician is required, not a DIY forum job.

Just a thought. Is the polarity correct on the incomers of the CU?

Do the lights from the other contactor work correctly?

MG timers are simple to use. Push the two buttons with the hand symbol between to manually operate the contacts. As RF says, where is the 24v supplied from?

What device is operating the 24v control circuit. Timer?

I think you will need a more positive attitude to succeed in this trade or any other. The whole idea is to study hard, train hard and work hard to make yourself BETTER than all of the average Joes around the place. Then the work will come your way.

I've had them in my house for years and the filters have been ok. Hey! Who turned off that intern.........................

Along the same lines,I found this one during a PIR. Screw through L and cpc. Did not trip the mcb as cpc was broken at a jb further back on the circuit.

Think you might be right there :wink: On closer inspection of the photo it looks like it might not be in perfectly straight.

Spark123 did you see the photo of the CU earlier in this thread? It looks like the MCB and base have been fitted together as it appears to be orange.

Abbreviations used by electricians are usually more of a problem for non electrical folk. :D

I'd put it back in for a few minutes, It's not quite done yet. :lol:

I pulled out an old recessed fusebord in a nursing home only to find myself looking straight into the bedroom on the other side of the wall. The db was the same thickness as the wall and the back of it had been skimmed! A bit plasterboard and wallpaper put it right but I wish I had got a pic of...

You will also need a new 45A pull cord switch as the one you have now will probably be burned inside. That's what the fishy smell is.

I had to trawl through five years of threads to pinch that idea! Ah well it's a fair cop guvnor. :D

Or Dexion. He says as zimmer creaks. :)

What was the original question again? :D Anyhoo, I have never come across AWA cable, HV use maybe? Most of the larger single core cables I have worked with, 300 and 500, have all the components of SWA cable but no actual armour, used for large submains.
