Electricity supply regulations

[RF Lighting]

I was working in a night club today on on completely unrelated problem, when we discovered the following.

We managed to gather from the manager that the old supply cable (to a hairdressers shop above) got severed during a refit sometime last year.

The DNO (YEDL) duly attended and carried out the repair.
This is what they left.

Nice new cutout on the end of the cable.
Tails strug accross the ceiling.
Earth not connected.

Tails joined onto a bit of supply cable.

Some sort of joint taped up in a bag.


How come we all work to a high standard (BS7671), yet the DNOs can get away with absoloute s***e like this?

On one level, it gives me a warm glow to know that I would never stoop that low and do shoddy work like that.

On another, it makes me VERY angry to think that someone else would.

And those new invisible earth wires must be a real timesaver eh?
