Wago connector blocks

[JohnW2]

Yea that's where you come unstuck. I don't think it's so much that, more that heads are often in a cupboard under the stairs, and I've seen all sorts of dangerous stuff on top of ones with no putty - sewing pins/needles, nails, screws etc. So I suspect it's much more about IP rating than us testing through the gaps

Maybe, but these ones were well above head height, so unlikley to have things falling in to them. Whatever, the meter has been changed at least twice (I think 3 times) before without this being done.

I have another theory ... as I have illustrated before, excessive cutting back of the outer sheath of the incoming neutral (which made 'the gap' even bigger) revealed that the inner insulation was red. The man has now hidden that fact from view

Kind Regards, John

For testing wago's I have this with my tester that fits standard probes (bought directly from wago at the time)

TopJob-S Test Adapter 2009-174

They only do that when they suspect theft of electricity.

Maybe - but he didn't bat an eyelid at, or ask about, the cables coming out of the DNO side of the neutral fuse and one of the phase fuses which then "disappeared into a hole in my wall".

It so happens that they are the supply to the neighbouring property (which was once part of my house), but there doesn't seem to have been any obvious way he could have known that!

Kind Regards, John

The newer 221 version has tiny holes for testing.

The wago 221s are my favourite wagos I think. Much better than the standard lever connectors
