Hello.
My mother called me round to check the electricity as the whole house was dead.
I checked the CCU and i nearly had a heart attack.... inside was black and bare copper showing from 1 of the cables. (CCT = Upstairs Socket) A standard incoming domestic supply of 230v, 100A; insalled with BS 3036 semi-enclosed re-wireable fuses and MCB's Type D.The Socket Circuit was installed with a BS3036 20A fuse. The CCU was installed by the local council ''DIY scrappers'' in 2003.
Am i missing something? design error? ?
Can they do this? dangerous?
How did it pass the inspection+testing? a blind man?
all views welcome DONT flame me.
