Yes, your right, The henly blocks are upside down. WHY WOULD SOMEONE DO THAT!!!
at least whoever put the ct clamp on recognised what the true purpose of the cable was whilst ignoring the tape.

The phase tape on the wrong cores and the upside down henley blocks sending my OCD into hyper-drive

brown to the right
blue to the left
and anything else in the middle.

it was a rime that someone taught my wife many many years ago to help her wire a plug.
she uses it to tease me anytime I am reading instructions or wondering how to wire something up.

The last time she used it was when i was wiring a panel for a small automatic machine, the wire count was over 1000 with 300 or so going off to external switches, actuators, buttons etc.
there I am tracing 30 core cables to label them and put them in the right place and she came to "help" with her advice, good job she is my wife coz the apprentice would have had a much worse response!!

My OCD is being triggered every time you lot call the Henley blocks.

It quite clearly says they’re manufactured by Click.

 

[telectrix]

isn't not also reverse polarity?

Yep, that's the worrying thing Tel.

and the smaller cables coming out of the henly click boxes protected only by DNO fuse.

I reckon it's the coloured cable ties that are wrong, not the tape. Meter looks newer than the blocks.

I was think the exact same thing , the meter monkey put the tails in the wrong way round

Connector blocks upside down?

Most meters, the phase in is left, phase out is right.
N in and out is normally in the middle left and right as per the lives.
however the N are normally just jointed in a short bus bar with a fly lead for the meter electronics.

 

[brianmoooore]

Meter is connected correctly according to the coloured cable ties, but it's the meter monkey that put the cable ties on the wrong tails, probably after he/she removed the old meter.

Looks like 99% of central heating juntion boxes I find

That's the Poo plan wiring.

At least they sleeved the live cpc wire brown!

 

[Raptor0014]

isn't not also reverse polarity?

Correct.

Reverse polarity, undersized tails to a EV charge point & upside down connector blocks.

This was done when a EV charger was installed. The guy said the installer made a right mess and he had a load of issue since and they wouldn’t come back.

I thought no one could be that stupid to cross the polarity. But they had.

@freddo It may be my eye's, but is that brown sleeving on a bare CPC.

Sorry did not see your post until later.
