To me it looks like neutral conductor connected to cpc terminals. Could be wrong, 2nd photo slightly clearer.What's the interesting bit?
Good eyes mate ?To me it looks like neutral conductor connected to cpc terminals. Could be wrong, 2nd photo slightly clearer.
Yeah - I also wondered if it is simply a cable extension without tape - anything is possible! But it caught my eye, and whoever wired it originally clearly did have earth tape.Could be the black of a 3 core swa being used as an earth, but I don’t see the corresponding grey on the N bar
this is why it's imperetive to take pics of your finished work. THEN IF ANYTHING HAS BEEN DONE (BY CUSTOMERS OR OTHER CONTRACTORS/TRADES), you have proof of how youleftit.Hindsight is a wonderful thing but gives some good learning points. Best to test the installation before conducting any works to see if you will inherit a problem. Best done with the customer and other trades out of the way and not interfering. With a change of consumer unit you may not have the length of cables required to make it look good or follow the convention of highest load next to the incomer but have to go your best when under the scrutiny of other trades and the unqualified internet experts. Testing upon completion also helps to defend your position especially as other trades continue to work on site. It is possible some disturbance may have occurred unbeknown to them or others. Due to the delay of four days before a problem is noticed it could be weather related - outdoor lighting? Could it be component failure, even if new equipment? Could be the neutral of one circuit being returned to the other neutral bar - split load board but has been known. Interference, additional circuits or modifications since departing site? Some things to consider.
That's a good idea. Where do you get the seals please?We always take pics of our finished work and have now started using stick on seals that can only be removed by cutting them - so you know somebody has tampered with the CU
