I've posted this a few times and this is at a mates house following a kitchen refirb several yrs ago. mg_smile:

I remember when there would be at least 6 screws; pairs each of wood screws, 4BA & M3.5

This was described as a new circuit to the shed, must be 10years ago, this is in one of those metal enclosures which originally had a built in fuse box at the top, it looked like the hole the cable goes throughwas drilled with a masonary bit.

This was mid 2020 so during lockdown.
Customer has been in the house for 2 months, survey highlighted several electrical issues including the CU in the garage being fed with T&E buried directly in the ground. Part of the sale conditions being that the garage feed was replaced. Garage CU contains 7 MCB's for: RFC for an uncounted number of sockets [>20], lighting, 2 sheds, greenhouse, hot tub and outdoor sockets/lighting. A total of 148A worth of OCD's but not a RCD in sight. I didn't actually check the size of this cable but I believe it to be 6mm², the other end is glanded to a plastic CU but no earth connection to the armour. The cable runs under 4 paving slabs where it appears just enough sand was scraped out of the way for it, all fully certified and notified to scheme provider.
Was reported to the 2 scheme providers and CHAS listed on his invoice.

Looks to be the same engineer who did yours that did the ones I see on a daily basis.

I'll guess this is for downlighters prior to being boarded under, at least the shoddy inaccessible JB's have been fixed to the joists

We met a couple from Norfolk when we were on a cruise a couple years ago... Joined up with them for the pub quizzes.

Our team name is usually "Little chance".... There's was "Norfolk an' chance"

How about this for a shower install ? Can’t see why it would be a bad idea !

In the UK though, we would use the giant wagos…. Maybe, or maybe not, made from Lego.

Well, I guess technically you're right... the fuse did overheat... things do tend to get hot when they... EXPLODE!!!
This was a very sudden failure (loud enough that the client heard it go from upstairs). I have seen first hand the result of an overheating fuse in a moulded plug... this ain't it

Shower recently fitted by plumber and got his "electrician" to wire it up, supply is TT

 

[Simon47]

That's OK, he's used a crimp terminal, and it's that same make of breaker

 

[Brother Blue]

As far as the busbar connection goes MK make a retrofit kit to allow the newer breakers to fit in those boards.

The big issue is the rcd

It’s ok when the plumbers mate did the testing it was tripping at 20 so he said jobs a good un.
