Looking for advice with a self made c/u

I think he was replying to littlespark's comment.

I have actually considering I work for the electricity network... Clearly you haven't because any dno set out the standard regs plus there own twist ie ip ratings ect..

All my work is at power stations and occasionally subs but I'm normally on HV/EHV with transformers and switchgear. I should have put a on my last post as I've seen some of the work on sites that certainly wouldn't come up to current, or for that matter, previous regs. Some of it is quite new install stuff too. Not by me I should add

 

[Moley]

Yup, I wasn't refering to your work

 

[martinh89]

Fair enough, thought there was a snide comment there ..... I work in power stations and subs lv and hv, I do the lv terms, hv terms and small wiring ... I work under enw, ukpn npg and wpd and all have had different spec

 

[Moley]

No, not directed at your work at all. It was towards the normal 'standard' of site engineer installed equipment. I've yet to come across a site engineer who has any 'normal' electrical qualifications. Most of them would believe you if you told them the 14th edition was the latest release

Just put the whole thing inside a bigger enclosure

I've found a cpc on route tomorrow that have 4mm plastic bolts... Going to put them in...... Lesson learnt though, not ordering materials for a supervisor last minute ever again

Might be a bit late for this one but you could use some din rail terminal strip for a neutral bar (if you have the space to fit it somewhere without it being exposed on the front cutout)

 

[freddo]

All that effort messing about with neutral bars when you could have just stuffed all the circuit neutrals together into the RCDs load side neutral terminal!

Bit of an up date..... So after arriving on site and speaking to the foreman I discovered that I'm the first person to attend site from the electrical department . .. . Long story cut short, the lv panel came already fitted with a bulkhead and an rcd protected socket, so no need for any small wiring and botched consumer unit did this instead

Blimy that was a few wasted hours then - are they paying you for that?

 

[martinh89]

Yep... I get day rate upto 10 hours and time and half after so there definitely getting a bill

 

[Jjc]

But don't you have en externally exposed bolt head connected to neutral?

Correct rough ad

useful test point, or bit of gaffer tape will sort out.
