[securespark]

Two pictures: spot as many mistakes as you can.

An installation outside in my local precinct:

A domestic cutout:

You can't beat a bit of free lekky

theiving gits ! and as it is old colors, the blue should be black, that is L3 as far as anyones concerned. Exposed neutral block as well- doesn't really matter but incase of a fault it could become live. And why have 4 earth wires coming out of the cutout? it should of had an earth block installed.

The sad thing is the cut-outs were designed to be used like that

Yeah but only by the DNO.

 

[RF Lighting]

I've seen DNO supplies installed like that before. It might be feeding a second cutout, but they would have more likely used split con rather than SWA.

Not at all! The only accessible part is the NE block. The meter (although you can't see it) & cutout are sealed up.


Anybody got a list yet?

Is the fuse sealed? If you pull the fuse it is accessible.

Is that metal spur /SFCU earthed

 

[securespark]

It's hard to tell. I think so. The timer (I think) is being fed from the FCU, not vice versa and because the timer is DI, they have not taken a cpc to it.

I think the spur feeds the timer with a L+N then a third wire (switched feed) heads back to the spur to connect to the outgoing lives (I guess those T+E cables).

 

[333rocky333]

Oh its a Timer, I thought it was an RcD supplying the fcu for some reason

 

[wundaboy]

The yellow core of that SWA isn't connected to the PME terminal, doesn't look like the armour is either. (I'm assuming its PME - may be an assumption too far!)

Would you like to buy some seals?

[skenk]

Can't see the first one too well but as for the second one:

Exposed live conductors
Earth cable not G&Y (well, i'm presuming its an earthing/bonding conductor)
Mixing of old and new colours
Dno equipment being used as MET
Undersized 'tails (and is that blue one smaller than the red? - 10mm? )

awaiting corrections and additions!
