NoWhat is it about a straightforward task like fitting a metal CU that causes soo.. many problems, is it just me.
Yeah I was just pointing out the document which refers to the premature collapse due to wall plugs, so they might not be as robust in the event of a fire as you think.Oh for goodness sake this is ridiculous. The document is referring to cable systems in mostly non-domestic situations where fire fighters have been trapped by cables collapsing into fire escape routes, not domestic CU's falling off the wall!!
Don't worry about the IR values, continuity, CPC's in lighting circuits, Earthing, Bonding, labelling, discrimination, accessibility, neatness or other quality of workmanship, or all that nasty paperwork and stuff, just make sure the bloody things rammed onto the wall with at least 4 coach bolts.Makes me want to weep.
No its not.What is it about a straightforward task like fitting a metal CU that causes soo.. many problems, is it just me.
Yes OKhttp://i.stack.Upload the image directly to the thread.com/ou9oP.jpg
No its not.
I think there is a certain amount of blindness and distraction in "being compliant" that results in the obvious being overlooked. Would any domestic scheme even examine the means of fixing a CU to a wall? I think not, hopefully they would be more interested in the installers competence at not electrocuting somebody or causing a fire hazard in the first place.
These are available, we use them regularly in fire alarm installations for cables passing through escape routes.Let me know if you find some metal rawl plugs
Eddy currents on a SP&N CU Get real
Next someone's gonna suggest metal MCB's.
