Overkill, M5 would have done..
did they also wire the plug top with boxing gloves on?
my statement about earning a darwin award is for those who would replace a fuse with a solid bar.
fuses are made to burn out if the current draw is exceeded this is a sacrificial safety element.
purposely bypassing a safety device be it a fuse or safety switch is just asking for problems.
Fault finding I replaced a 450A fuse with a solid link, so the back up was a 1200A ACB. After many abortive tests I’d run out of ideas. Found the fault, a tree falling over on fire gave the game away. Its roots had broken an UG joint.
I don’t recommend this normally but needs must at times.
I’ve done it a few times on 11KV (upped the protection relays first) to give a good short that could be traced. Wandering around fields in the middle of winter isn’t my idea of fun.
PS I've never work on domestic.
Do you leave that to the professionals Tony?? lol
You come in to my world. I'd leave you (for) dead!
In fourty years I've done five domestic installs. I had my arm twisted for them (bloody family + wife). I stuck with what I was comfortable with.
