My sexy DB's.. (Even if I do say so myself..)

I know there isn't loads of cables in here but I like them all the same.. Definitly worth spending a bit longer and doing a smart job than lashing it together and then riding off on your horse..

Oh and this is my best one...

And this little beauty 240mm...

 

[ColJack]

where is the local isolator for that large 3 phase plug?

why the brown tape on the already brown cable? seems kind of redundant?

 

[Spark123]

What is the large 3 phase feed with the RCD for? The outgoing wires look bigger than the feed.
Why the twin and earth in trunking as opposed to conduit singles?

 

[Lectrician]

Very good except for the GUTTER BOLTS! YUK!

 

[Spark123]

How is the large SWA held to the cable tray?
Agree with lec, M6 brass bolts are nicer than roofing bolts for banjos.

 

[Lectrician]

Not just nicer....

The NIC will give you a non compliance for using galvanised bolts - brass or zinc.

 

[Lectrician]

That doesnt look like a 240mm to me either Brass hex nut on that though

I was thinking that. Doesn't look much bigger than that 41 x 41 'strut

 

[Spark123]

Just as well I have always use brass! Maybe it is OTT but I always run an earth from the brass nut for each banjo to the earth bar for each circuit as opposed to daisychaining.

 

[skenk]

In the first pic should there not be a banjo or pirhana nut on the incoming cable?

 

[RF Lighting]

There is a banjo on the outside of the board. You can see the bolt above the gland.

 

[Lectrician]

What rating is the TP MCB with the earth fault module? Whats it feeding?

 

[ricicle]

Yes - there are some circumstances where a galv roofing bolt won't carry the prospective fault current from the armour.....

This board supplies just the lighting for just one room on the site I'm working on at the moment.

185.0mm² parallel supply

Just about enough for downlights in a 25-30' through-lounge in a suburban semi....
