While I agree with leaving length on cables (often far too much, on my part), I couldn't quite see the reasoning behind criticism of something that can't be seen. The first image in this thread (I guessed this was posted in response to comments in an other thread), shows old colours looped below the DIN rail - whether they extend an inch past it, or if metres are neatly stowed away, is anyone's guess.

What a mess...

I don't know if you're being serious or not.

I can see a few things that could have been better, but I wouldn't say a mess, the pic was to show the wire lengths that it has, it wasn't meant to be a show-piece.

Look at the crease in that polybag.

Should be much shorter and the other way round - but a proper earthing nut would be better.

I love those stainless bolts with Alan key and locking nut.
Not that it's ever going to carry a lot of current, as it's 80 ohm TT

And in my defence, it was a quick job in what's basically a big shed, it only has a 45 amp supply.

If I had turned it around, it looked a bit close to the bus bar and I couldn't be bothered to cut it down
