With respect, I'm trying to offer some very basic advice to the upset OP, I assume all of the regulars on here are aware of various methods of terminating SWA.

Fortunately the brown sleeve is still in place on a black and goes to 'L', the other 2 blacks to 'N' and the 3 reds to the additional terminal (L2 on the old fitting).

I don't believe there is anything to worry about. The EV installer may make a bit of a mess though.

Unfortunately that is an occupational hazard in the electrical environment as there are so many options. Sure at one time the only method considered for joining SWA underground was the resin filled joint but now there is a jelly product which can basically be used to fill a joint enclosure to...

There have been sooo many threads containing such boxes.

For heavens sake. OP has been told by the electrician a gel filled joint (presumably a wago device in some way) which has become a very popular alternative to resin filled joints. The question is simple.

Ans here is a convenient 4 way connector to replace this one

So if you don't want a fan running when your in the bathroom and you take away any switches specifically for the fan, how do you propose to run the fan. The idea of a fan is to remove moisture from the air before it forms as condensation on the cooler surfaces (Walls. windows etc) so should be...

Totally agree Yes I generally agree This is the part I don't know

Quite honestly no specific reference. It's one of those things that has been referred to on a number of occasions in various situations: First aid course and a Tv documentry, primarily about the harmfull effects of mobile phones RF which went on to include μwave ovens etc being the only 2 I can...

And one of the things I hate about those connectors is devices can end up with the wrong polarity.

No I'm not convinced either but the suggestions are definitely out there

Except there is some consensus that subsequentelectric shocks have an increasing hazardoud effect on the body, if that is correct then one shock without RCD may occur with no apparent lasting effect but a following lesser shock with RCD could kill.

Very different to my experiences, Mrs Sunray has purchased loads over the years and very rare they have outlasted a year, the low level bollards managed 2 summers but only just and I converted them to 12V with a 2W LED

Did you realise I struck out 'not'

I have no idea of timelines involved but just one of the things we knew at one time was the existence of sicklecell anemia which was thought to be a black blood disorder, so: at that time

It may be the terminal block is on a circuit without RCD, reminds me of :https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/why-i-hate-domestics.507103/page-3#post-4294166 post 31

A fuse doesn't limit the current, all it does is destroy itself when sufficiently overloaded. A sudden total short circuit may have been in the order of hundreds or even thousands of amps and both fuses are likely to blow. I think this incident is unlikely to simply be water ingress.
