RCD obv kept tripping so some bright spark has decided to install isolator then straight to bus bar to stop nuisance tripping, about right? :biggrin5:
 
I can't see anything feeding the RCD (might be me, but can't see any cable in the top), then there's the stripped insulation and tape on cables and tails that aren't enclosed... Oh and it's a bit messy... No idea on the story though!

I'm with you on this one. The tails should be going into the top of the RCD it appears someone has bypassed this and used to bottom to go straight to the Bus bar and Neutral Bar :(
