Part 1 : Skilled Tradesman??

[SparkyDips]

ok guys here's the story........building lost power due to break in main supply cable, electricity board decided its easier to move headers (3 phase and single phase) to new location by cutting and re-routing main supply cables.

joint completed

Now.....

all that is needed is 4 new supply cables to be run around the premises (seperate buildings) to each CCU location, i have refused to have any involvement with this work as its a big c###up from the start.

temporary supply is provided by 10mm T&E run all over the place.....

so said "tradesman" has stepped up saying he has worked out the volt drops to each CCU and 3 core 35mm SWA is needed for 3 locations and 70mm SWA for one..........or in this case 2 35mm's run in parallel!!!

so he runs all cables to CCU locations and TRIES to terminate 4 35mm SWA's into.......

nice busbar!!!

and a single 35mm into.....

having now realised this isnt 'big enough' he orders a metal 3 phase board, NO BREAKERS, and well, heres the pics..........

I can NOT believe my eyes...shocked...

Yup!!!

lol.
what did he fit the 400v db with ? a jcb ?

hager db + protek mcb's = epic fail

;-)

 

[Andy78]

I can't begin to imagine what's going on in that db. Like how he paralleled his 2 35mm line conductors into a single mcb.

What's the current status of this job ? Has this guy been chained up in the boiler room for his own safety ?

 

[Plonker 3]

He should paint them cleated SWAs and pretend they are a rainbow.

 

[Tidy Max]

Jesus christ and all of the baby orphans thats bad

 

[Guest55]

the most ironic thing is ............
that hes used all the right materials , just put them together in the wrong order

[stranded]

Its like "how much wall space can i take up with this swa?" An electrician done this?!
(thats very small criticism too...)

 

[Plonker 3]

I can't wait for part 2

 

[Guest55]

;-)

 

[Plonker 3]

[stranded]
