Believe it or not this example has supposedly been tested and certified!

[vernam616]

I bet there is a circuit chart for that somewhere in a office etc..

a easier way to work that out is how neat its been done inside, if its neat you know its a decent spark and sent a circuit chart in with the test cert, looks pretty brand new, maybe a unfinished job???

To my absolute amazement the DB and all circuits illustrated above have I am informed been tested to 17th edition standard. How many 17th edition problems can you spot here? I am wary of just how many other issues will be discovered when I start doing a few circuit tests of my own! Though I have to trace the circuits first! Quite unbelievable sadly there are a lot of 'companies' who do such shoddy work!

Jesus from the way this thread title was written i was expecting a bit more than no DB or circuit ID's being present.

Ok come on then, how many 17th editions problems can you spot, because i'm trying to work out your statement on what your ''Absolute Amazement'' is all about???

Agreed.... What a let down

Wait till he takes the cover off :49:

Well going by the OP, even he hadn't taken the cover off the DB at time of writing, but still seemed to be in total amazement at the lack of panel /circuit ID's. If it is a mess inside, ....well i'm half expecting the guy to have a heart attack!! lol!!

I have never, In the last decade worked for a firm or subbed to someone who supplied dinrail blanks. people just dont want to pay it.

 

[cprfenom]

I much prefer din rail blanks like the ones I use when installing Hager. Sad thing is that Sparkyjoe is right, people do not want to pay and often supplier prices are so bad that spare mcb's are on a par

I would like to see a picture of the inside have you got one mate?

Only issue I see is a lack of labelling. Installer may have the ****test handwriting going and typed up, but it didnt get attached. May find as soon as you take the cover off they have written down that centre strip instead. If thats a worry to you you should see half the jobs I have to test for signing off

tp board with 3+ cores in every breaker?

ive seen that a couple times as well as boarded over boards

it was a job with one board on every floor, the guys could see where the board was fed from but couldnt find the board.


they found it by checking every board and proving supply etc, in the end it was pure look it was found

 

[Kate]

No busbar covers. No blank plates. Socket missed and now plastered behind wall unlocatable. No rcd/dual colour labels. No circuit designation (I have to find it when didnt do install) bonding forgotten and not connected. Light fittings not installed yet. Have to block for testing

 

[Kate]

Ive had to test circuits that havent been connected yet... I.e just a cable hanging out the wall waiting for data comms

 

[7029 dave]

How you doing Kate, long time no hear.?

 

[cornishboy]

I think the issue might be the installation method as it's not clear if these circuits are installed in the wall or if there are socket outlets that appear to have no rcd protection.maybe it's surface or in steel conduit

 

[Deleted member 26818]

Only thing wrong, I can see, is the lack of circuit identification.

 

[uksparks]

It all looks a bit new and unfinished to me

 

[Kate]

Im good how are you? I know, works been busy lately, trying to make the most of it while it lasts. I also decided to get a puppy. Shes nearly 6months old now, keeps me on my toes (knackered)

 

[Parker27]

whats the problem here?

All you do is contact the premises owner show him the board has not been marked up, they will gladly provide the installers details, you contact the installer, they will provide you with the EIC/EICR and you mark up the board accordingly.

Thought we were in for a right one with the title....what an unnecessary tease. Ask the client for the schedule, who's probably got it on a computer somewhere and move on....

BTW, You can get Schneider Din Rail mounted blanks for the Isobar range because I have used them.
