Am I missing something here? There appear to be 5 fuses but only 4 neutrals (assuming one, probably the black-taped red {!}, is the feed).This looks like an overloaded mains supply - Multiple flats and a Landlord's supply in a Victorian conversion, all running off one ancient supply - there is a 10.5. kw shower in every flat, I am surprised that it hasn't burnt out by now.
Yes, maybe. As EFLI has pointed out, I miscounted the fuses - so we're looking for two hidden neutrals, perhaps both directly from the cutout.
Isn't that just dust where the fuse has been taken out and replaced upside down?
Thanks.
There's obviously a lot of chance involved. In the situation we are discussing here, there seem to be 6 flats, each with 10.5kW showers, not to mention anything else - and 3 of those 6 showers being used simultaneously would get you more-or-less to the limit of the supply. However, showers are normally used for only fairly short periods of time. When you say that the cable is 'good for about 140A', is that continuous, or would it be OK with a fair bit more for short periods of time?
Maybe it was. I have to say that the timestamp clocks in my cameras are hardly ever correct
