I guess this is the situation those at the IEE where considering when they introduced the colour change stickers.....

A rather rushed dual rail SP CU....

:shock: :shock:

Do people not own/use test equipment?!

What brand is the CU in the second pic? Do the MCBs just slide in and the screw holds them in?
 
Considering the original proposal was to have 3 browns as the rest of Europe had/has
 
Re the top pic, we have similar but where there are only two cables to be joined we tend to use klippon type bus bar rails and an empty enclusure.
How is the earth continuity done lec?, it isn't clear from the pic.
 
I like the blatantly ignored label in the middle of the busbar chamber :lol:
 
Earthing is not done yet.

Separate earth is run along side and will be lugged and bolted. Banjos on outside of busbar, bolt hole is in line with flange bolt ready for lugging.

This was a "what do you have on the shelf" type job. A resin cold pour would not be a solution.

To be fair, I noticed the busbar was upside down when I look at the phase rotation of the busbars. Blaming that on the boss who fitted the uni strut and busbar!

Top board is a merlin. Crap design tbh - door hinges down, not L/R. Gets in the way.

The board was rushed, prefer a night RF job - lol. No excuse for the rush other that simply too much to do to worry about photographic quality workmanship!
 
I dont think RF was referring to the chamber being upside down, more the wording on the label 'busbar supports must not be used for the termination of cables ' which they clearly have been !!!

Go on then, what is that DB for? I'm guessing some kind of office installation, with the RCBO for the cleaners sockets?

And why the keyswitches?
 
The wholesaler only had a busbar in stock, and this was a "has to be done" job. I did order a couple sets of terminals, and *should* be able to fit them....Although, TBH, from experience, they are the same as the spacer ones anyway, and very similar to the support ones too.

I could always drop the busbars and bolt the two lugs together :lol:

The DB is for some offices, mainly lighting circuits, wired in three core to klik type boxes, EM's and normal lights plugged in. key switches for the 8 lighting circuits EM's.

RCBO for sockets in corridoors/hallway/landing.
