What?! Just, what?

Not sure there's anything good about this socket. The bare copper actually continued on to the top entry cable, and the bottom entry was long enough to reach the socket terminals, so I'm not really sure how they got it so, so wrong

 

[omega015]

Should we give them points for using the same CSA cores into the socket? But on a serious note what the F*%$ was that person thinking? or was it lack of a thinking that managed to give birth to such an atrocity!

Can't see anything wrong personally!!

Ahh, now I see, they should have used one of these... gotcha!

It's only the same CSA because it is still that same piece of 2.5 from the top, not cut, just stripped back a boatload

hahaha I missed that part. Some people scare me with their actions.

It's this sort of work that disproves Darwins theory of survival of the fitest. If he was right, the installer would have killed himself by now.

 

[Iggifer]

Well the installer is unknown so maybe.....

Must have been a deaf and dumber

Is that a TN-C-S socket?!

TN-C presumably.

Is it that the joins are not classed a maintenance free. I know the earth wires wrapped together aren't

Only reason that one got opened because the Megger said no earth path. So the wrap around method clearly didn't work, at all

 

[securespark]

TN-C presumably.

Yeah, that's what I meant...

I was thinking of TN-C-S like a supply cable where the neutral and protective are combined, then split...

 

[Iggifer]

The CPC and neutral are separate. I'm confused?

And we need to move to the DNO terminology for earthing it's just more logical.

CNE and SNE are just simpler than TN-C-S and TN-S.

 

[EFLImpudence]

It's no simpler than TNC or TNS.

You're omitting C-S-NE.
