That's a lot better than how it was!

The only thing I was thinking is that the nut on the earth stud is tightened on to plastic.

DPG, I can see what you mean, however the earth stud protrudes into the box through a hole drilled in the back. The stud is bolted to the metal casing, then there is a second nut on top, which protrudes even further into the box.

Ah I've just looked closer. I didn't realise you made a clearance hole in the enclosure. I thought the nut was clamping down on it.

Nice one

[GBDamo]

Should be ok for 26amps

 

[freddo]

At least they used 3 core!

 

[Dustydazzler]

Joking aside that flex would probably pull 26a without too much trouble

I have seen an old JW video showing 1mm/1.5mm solid taking about 50a before it started to bubble and smoke

A pointless label, and it's wonky

 

[pirate]

yup, wonky! Sorry!
Pointless?
Probably!
but if I hadn't done it, someone would have complained!
next time...

Pointless is obviously just my opinion, but I do have a particular hatred of labels that nobody will ever read/will ignore, aren't required, state the obvious or just make a neat job look messy.

You are not alone.

 

[davesparks]

You are not alone.

In one building I regularly work in they have
-a locked door with a neat, clearly legible, label on it identifying it as the electrical intake. Seems pretty self explanatory yes? No, some muppet with a clipboard from head office came round and insisted that this bright yellow 'warning high voltage' sticker be put on the door.
-doors opening into a cable riser on each floor, no DBs or anything else in there, just a couple of trays and some trunking, the doors are kept locked and everyone who needs to know what's in there knows. Along comes the clipboard wielding womble and now there's these hideous (wonky) yellow stickers warning the world of the high voltage inside.
