No neutral from bottom of second DP switch to neutral bar. I'm guessing an RCD has been replaced at some point due to nuisance tripping?

nothing wrong that a complete strip down and rewire won't fix. that's a rat's abortion.
 
old split load board with trippy rcd , so some clever sparks swapped out the rcd for a main switch , seen this loads of times
 
my guess is that they re-used the old splt board when rewiring and it tripped out so they took the easy option
 
Rcd trips cos they put rcd on main neutral bar on split board 3netral bars main rcd1 rcd2
Sorry, but could you start again.

what have You been asked to do in this job?
and
what is your question?

edit: sorry sent post before I saw above post.
 
Having a main switch instead of the RCD is not immediately dangerous or potentially dangerous.

there are issue that can be coded due to inadequate additional protection, but I can’t see the main switch being a Code in itself. What do you think?

Dunno never seen switch with no neutral so Dunno how to code this also rcd sometimes tripping on zs low 3lead test is neutral arrangements can cause that or earthing problem I put as earthing problem

Just ask yourself is this issue immediately dangerous? Is someone in imminent danger?
or is there a potential danger? Could some one come to harm if some one does something?

ask yourself if the double pole isolator without a neutral is dangerous and how is it dangerous? Justify your coding.

I don’t like it, I think it’s wrong. just because I don’t like it and think it’s wrong doesn’t mean I can code it. I can’t just say it’s wrong. you have to give a valid reason why it is electrically wrong.

so what do you think? Does it need coding? And why?
