I am not slagging off my apprentice for a change.
That is a Bus bar tap off from a 100A bus bar that should have 3 x 16 fuses in the tap off.
When I phoned the wanker who installed it (the co. name was on the install sticker) to tell him what was wrong he said "someone must have stolen the fuses I put in".
Of course they did:-)
And the magic pixies also stole the fuses from your other taps offs as well.
And they did a _very_ neat job of extending the wires, didn't they?
Not so neat under the screw heads...
Yes. The tart could have crimped some eyelets on those wires. No class.
I like the shape of the box.
Mmmm nice ;-)
So what is the protective device rating at the origin of that bus bar?
I wonder if he did a calculation to see if the 70% of the strands he actually bothered to terminate would be adequately fault protected?
Wonder if he could have used a longer bolt on that banjo tag?
On 10 Apr 2015, John Rumm grunted:
How stupid can some people be?
Actually leaving his ID attached to the job? Now that IS stupid.
They were from that new trade association, distrust a trader.com from your explanation. A friend had a Kitchen fitted some 15 years ago and when it came time to change the cupboards again recently behind the hardboard back of one of the covers was a junction box fitted into a jagged hole in the wall with one naill and one screw with all the incoming wires from the under cupboard lighting wired in in a big bodge. a case of out of sight out of mind obviously. I'm always a bit suspicious of traders myself as they do tend to have bodgers as well as good people on their staff. Brian
Nah, those few strands _are_ the protective element ;-)
Yuck!
Not only did they steal the fuses and extend the cables - only one out of the 6 electricians shown the photo this morning made the same comment about extending the cables:-) - the thieving bastards also slackened off the banjo nut so that it was only finger tight and messed with his SWA cleats to make his work look untidy.
And I am not afraid to show my re-installation of the same cable at the other side of the door.
It was a bit tight at the top next to the saddle but at least I moved the Kopex to the right of the SWA.
