Not Picture Of The Week!

I saw this today, and within minutes smelt a rat.

Wylex fuse in other brand cu

T+E suppling the cu

 

[RF Lighting]

The fact it is a centaur CU

The over stripped T&E in the bottom right corner s a bit of a concern.

Is that the incommer?

 

[mdbalson]

By the look of it the over-stripped T+E is the incoming feed to the board

No 15amp as you would expect

The following picture shows the inside of the original CU in the property, and how the Centaur unit is fed.

You're right!

The white unit is fed via 6mm³ (edit !! that should be ²) tails (stripped out T & E) off the main terminals of the brown one.

The white unit is running:

9.6kW shower (on 30A 3036)

ring main

lighting

another unknown 30A circuit

all on the 6 milli feed!!

Good, eh?

 

[mdbalson]

Very Shocking

One of your jobs, Rob??

It was Barnsley...

I like the nice burnt looking 5amp fuse holder, the fuse wire must have blown alot of times to make it so burnt.

It was shot to bits, so I changed it.
