Disgrace. How can such people masquerade as electricians?About five years ago I suggested a rewire as much of the wiring is 50+ years old. Whoever replaced the board have actually made it worse.
Could there have been a thread converter on the end of one conduit to suit pre existing holes in the original consumer unit?Can't quite picture the original board but I can't understand why the conduits don't line up because they cannot be moved.
50 years in the trade and I've rarely come across anything like that. Since the Millennium, I can see it being much more of an issue. Hence westwood's photos.I remember when I started off in industry I used to see a lot of issues with bushings where the conduit is used as CPC
They'd be sparking sometimes when check EFLI at outlets
Indeedy but no I don't believe the neutral was lost. Found it by chance just been back to change but must have been hot, new one fitted now.Something being the neutral block of a MEM Exel? Hopefully it didn't let go completely with a 3-phase load on.
At least you have not chewed the screw heads up on the new one like someone did with the original.Indeedy but no I don't believe the neutral was lost. Found it by chance just been back to change but must have been hot, new one fitted now.View attachment 88504
The screws in the new block are considerably bigger than the old one which has probably been there since the 60s.The screws are so thin compared to how large the cable entry holes are on that MEM stuff!
Never thought I would be saying it but I agree, they do look narrow.The screws are so thin compared to how large the cable entry holes are on that MEM stuff!
It only becomes a Sh-Jobby ,when you call out , dyno rod !First time I’ve seen a cable run inside
a soil stack.
