What was even better was the property has an old 16th Ed board with no RCD for any circuit.

Maybe this proves RCDs and CPCs are overrated.

Did you try a Zs at all just wondering what it was if you did.

 

[littlespark]

No earth. No rcd.
Gonna try polarity for the unholy trinity.

New build, SWA supply from meter to CU

All the flats have been done the same

no gland on SWA the other end either

what a poor job

I agree, what a bodge for the price of a box and a tail gland.

 

[James]

That is poor.
so many ways it could be done better

It's glanded at the supply end in your picture, albeit in a less than ideal manner.

Is that a MI supply feed? How is it terminated into the isolator?

Orange SNE and concentric cables aren't uncommon.

Orange SNE and concentric cables aren't uncommon.

Have them in my place of work. But just wonder how they are terminated, is it just like a conventional mineral insulated cable?

No, it's not MI at all, it's the LSF version of what DNO's normally use underground.

No earth continuity on downlights, 11 cables above the ceiling....

Isn't that the thing from War of the Worlds?

When you get the apprentice to put the dish up

Nearly every earth extended, including main going from 16mm to 10mm. Neutrals crossed over on the ring circuits (ie neutral for one ring with neutral of another in the same terminal), most of the live terminals are loose. I could go on.

But otherwise, not a badly installed board…..

Doubt if that bell wire is rated at 230V.

 

[DPG]

Doubt if that bell wire is rated at 230V.

Indeed, always worrying when you see 12V bell wire flapping around loose in a consumer unit.

 

[Raptor0014]

Correct it isn’t. But I’m replacing the CU tomorrow so that will be corrected.

Nice and easy way to tap off...

And of course it has the added benefit of a test point

Erm, I think someone got the wrong idea when interpreting the advice with single phase use of swa cores.
