Picture of the week ??? (what happened to it?)

[mattylad]

Whatever happened to that thread? ISTR it was often on, did your digital cameras run out of film?

Anyway, out with the old.

The old DB, really cheap crap and with wires falling out.

An absolute rubbish CU, wires falling out of terminals as soon as you touch them.
I look forward to skipping it (this was relatively new compared to some of the others that have been removed).

In with the new:

The new DB - much better.

Needs some more tidying up yet, the old one to the right removing, the trunking tidying up and recovering, but its a work in progress and a damn site safer and more reliable than it was last week.

I'm doing the dirty work, the ripping out and cable feeding, making trunking etc. - the Electrician is doing the connecting up (and supervision).

I'm not sure I like where the 3 phase breaker is situated on the left near the bottom.

It needs to 'go up one' to match the labelling.

well the old one's certainly a mess! Cant see the new as it's got the lid on, but thanks for posting! Looks smart.

I don't see where you're referring to. As I see this the bottom left slot is spare then working up are 2 x SP then 2 x 3P MCB's.

As above its an illusion, where the top breakers come out it makes the Red way look like an unused way

WOE are you talking about?

BTW - this is not how you bond a metal staircase

 

[JohnW2]

WOE are you talking about?

Given that the photo of the new one is so bad, I presume they are talking about the old one - in which case I agree with sparkwright and think that SUNRAY and rocky are probably wrong ...

If I undersand correctly what is being said, it looks to me (as stated by sparkwright) as if the device in the middle on the left (in old board) needs to 'move up one', such that the 'blank' is below, rather than above, it.

Kind Regards, John

I can't speak for others, but I certainly have.

What is your view?

Kind Regards, John

If I understand correctly the old one is on the verge of being removed (it may already have happened this morning), therefore WOE is the purpose of pointing out problems with it?

No way
Look at the screw heads attaching to the busbar R Y B
Even the right side has 9ways with 3 triple mcbs and still gives the appearance of a spare way
AS BAN says that boards coming out, its ok pointing out but not no point suggesting rectifying it now even if it was wrong

 

[ban-all-sheds]

No way

Way.

Sparkwright is correct, you and Sunray are mistaken.

Look at the screw heads attaching to the busbar R Y B

OK

Where is this apparent 'spare way' that you perceive?

Very true, but don't complain to me. It was sparkwright who started it, after which SUNRAY and yourself joined in - and then me, since I could not quite get what the two of you were suggesting!

Kind Regards, John

In my eyes, the bottom left blue phase is unused.
