Mean while at the top of the pillar we have a silver birch well and truly rooted into the light

Always amazes me how adaptable life is, which does bode well for the planet long after we’ve f****d up it’s present form.

Bumping this. This shouldn't have gotten lost.

Every single floor installed with wagos without any form of enclosure. Just shoved into the ceiling. First time working in an commercial job site, alarmed at the practices. Not the fault of workmanship but the owner of the electrical company refusing to spend money on key things... even can't be bothered to buy brown sleaving for sw identification. Clearly some of the electricians failing to check connections if connections are tight and then powering sub mains board. This is how fires start.

Unfortunately this is very typical penny pinching , I have done new builds where you would be handed box of Stuff to do a job.
No blue sleeve , no brown sleeve , no grommets , no nothing.
Just told don’t bother with any of that stuff and just chuck it in.
I have very often supplied my own grommets and sleeve just to feel better how I leave the job.

That last photo is a looped neutral, not a switchwire without brown sleeving. Or were you showing us a loose connection?

The cpc's should have been connected to the metal backbox. Why waste money on a bit of choc block connector when the box has one already there.

These people are getting million pound contracts... awful practices. Need reporting tbh. I wouldn't want another glenfell incident on my conscience.

Showing loose connection. Board was live and signed off

Is that a loop terminal for the neutrals ?

 

[freddo]

Backbox not earthed either?

Well your common is your loop for lives.
Not seen those, though.
Looks like it's just being used as a one gang one way.
The back box should be earthed....just lazy.

 

[westward10]

The switch is poorly marked the Hager ones have an N terminal. I am pretty sure that Loop terminal is for the neutrals.

 

[sarky spark]

A tad beyond repair.

 

[Dustydazzler]

Was that still live...?

 

[telectrix]

if it is, it's close to death. that box looks like my lungs after 60 years of smokes.

 

[Pharlo]

wouldn`t want to be turning that iso switch

 

[littlespark]

That’s it’s IP rating well compromised!

 

[sarky spark]

was still live, about 2.8M above the ground in a publicly accessible place.

 

[westward10]

I think that is one of the best corrosion damage pics I have seen where everything is still in situ.

 

[Dustydazzler]

I’m not sure what’s more concerning then , the risk of shock or risk of tetanus

 

[FatAlan]

A tad beyond repair.

Back in the UK’s pre EU days all Leyland and Dagenham made cars used to look like that after a couple of years. Good thing is there are probably legions of 70 pluses out there who are dab hands with wire brushes and fibreglass who could patch that up in no time.

 

[telectrix]

give it to Fuzz Townshend of car sos. he'll have a new box welded up and sprayed in 10 minutes.
