You couldn’t pass 2360 until you had successfully stripped and made off 2 mic cables

Now they don’t even have to do that anymore
Gawd! I must have done at least 2000 before I was 18..

...…and threaded that much conduit I could do it wi' me feet.;)
 
Intention will be to rip it out and take everything back to the main consumer unit, just need to work out what they all feed and if I can arrange the circuits to fit them in, there are 3 spare ways in new board, 4 breakers in old unit but covers not been off yet and nothing is labeled except the shower circuit.
As far as the termination in the newer board goes, they have drilled a small hole and fed the micc through it, no idea if they have glanded it inside.

I wonder if they fed the original gland through a 20mm hole
 
Or put it through the hole, stripped it back and never bothered with a pot or gland, may be seen that a few times

Yeah, I've seen that too, sleeved and taped only....With a jubilee around the copper clad to clamp a cpc to!!.... Also seen many in control panels where multiple multi core pyro's brought in through same hole and then pots only fitted........There were some rough old boys out there too back in the day lol

I'm quite a fan of MICC and do enjoy when I get to work with it.

Nearly as bad as some of the rough young boys of today!!!!!!!
 
Definitely, except they now lash in FP200 and make a hash of that instead! Haha
The number of swa lash ups these days has gone through the roof.
It seems to be every other time I come across some. If they can't terminate the armour correctly it's slice a shroud because they've forgotten it.

I don't know about you, but I used to take pride in first fixing cables of all sorts, making sure they were clipped nice, entering the enclosure properly, nice an neat, now slap it in know matter, as long as it tests OK and it works, it will be OK, what has become of trafesmen and Women? all gone to pot, I know who I lay the blame on and you don't need me to explain that do you?
