Picture of the week

[RF Lighting]

Well folks, its that time again!

This week I have been mostly carrying out PIRs for a chain of well known convenience stores.

In one I found a rather overloaded TP cutout.

It has been so warm the majority of the pitch has melted and leaked out of the cutout.

It has also leaked into a metal clad switch fuse below, and now two of the fuses are no longer removable.

And onto some (now disused) tails below the switchfuse

Thats minging. Glad the shops in our area seem to be nicely wired.

That's nothing, one store I go to you could fry an egg on the metal trunking it gets so hot.
When I took the lid off one day the Red core (of the 3 phase) had changed colour completely.

I thought you may have seen far worse, the Western Power guys who came in to re-do their wiring and to change the meters didnt even bat an eyelid so it cant be as bad as i think it looks lol!
