Well that's how it started out life anyway. I'm not sure how well it would work after the retrofit 2.5mm links were installed though. ^^
 
What was it's tripping time? about 6 1/2 years?
Whats the fuse rating of 2.5mm I wonder... Less than the DNO fuse I guess, so at least there is some selectivity!

Longer than the MFT's batteries will last I'd guess :)
 
Loving this thread. Quickly understanding why electricians have jack all good to say about plumbers.
Maybe because they they get it wrong so many times...

I built a control panel 2.1m tall, exactly according to design. it was installed exactly as designed as were loads of other services.
Plumber [except we decided he wanted a posher name - pipe fitter] came along and decided his 4" pipe would be better in a different place to the design and cut 6" off the top of the panel doors and some of the top. Panel had a fairly big 3ph supply ~800A, the swarf knocked out 2 of the supply fuses but he carried on and fitted his pipe.
 
I love it when you can see multiple installation methods in one example.
In case the pic isn't clear, we have SWA in corrugated conduit, exposed, from the ground up to about 2m, then it's cemented in for a bit, then it emerges and is sort-of cleated for the rest of the run.

Someone came back to fix the cabling and realised he'd forgotten his tall ladder?
 
Not as daft as it looks at first.
Above 2m someone's decided it can be surface mounted. Below that they wanted it buried. So they've used conduit (good), and cemented that into a channel. It looks a lot like the bottom of the render has fallen off the wall - so that could have taken the cement covering over the conduit with it when it fell off.
