**Show Us Your Installs!!!**

[Robotstar5]

Nice job for a first attempt, why didn't you put a vertical run in to collect the cables between the 2 enclosures? less drilling than all the cleats!. As above I would have used shallow (20mm) unistrut bars to mount it on.

as rob says,abit of tray for the other cables would have looked much better,it looks like someone has come in after your work and just drilled theres to the wall,with pic 2 a small internal bend then a tee would have again looked nicer,but as a first go its worth a b+...

Good install but should the tails not have been changed

Welcome to the forum.

To which of the previous 352 posts are you referring?

A Db I never got to finish

How come?

 

[Thefailsafe2012]

How come?

Ahhhh building company went down the pan and all trades booted off site, that was back in June and were still not sure if we're going back, it was a pig of a job but I would have loved to have finished it.

 

[RSrmelectrical]

Hi looks nice are you also fitting AC in the room?

 

[Knobhead]

Just dump them and bury them!

 

[Resu]

Think your on the wrong thread mate, possibly wrong forum? haha resents2:

fitted a small consumer unit today for audio equipment

How I think Solar PV should be installed, not just clipped to a wall for quickness!

 

[lamb]

Nice installs.
Do you have shares in Kopex? :tongue3:

 

[Megavolt]

Very nice installs pal

 

[lee8980]

Cheers lads!

 

[Jimsparky]

All finished and installed now.

 

[lee8980]

Sweet, that looks mighty impressive!

 

[Jimsparky]

Your solar looks spot on. We have been doing a bit lately and it's great to see people taking pride in there installs

Here's one of ours

Nice and neat, just out of interest, why tube the wiring on the left but not the right?

 

[Paulsad]

Me at work

Sorry lads! - some lovely work on here though

 

[GDoc]

Hi Si, is that a black Henley block with the tails going to your isolator? How did you terminate the tails from the meter into it? I was maybe going to have to do that a few months ago but never done the job in the end. Does the power supplier have to send sparks out to do it?

hope you kept those old c 50 breakers....

 

[frank3323]

I Installed 2 of these and i service them monthly, can you guess what it is? ill give you a clue, it uses 20+ different A/C and D/C voltages, from 5V to 700V and everything you can see spins at 3 revolutions a second....

 

[axel132132]

Is it one of them woop woop wizzy wizzy things that checks inside ur body dunno the name haha

 

[frank3323]

yep, computerised tomography is the word you are looking for lol, CT Scanner.

 

[marc_v33]

mri or cat scanner im guessing

(or as above just not fast enough!!)

 

[9regnac]

main board

Done this noard when doing addition in house

Central heating and both 10mm to gas and water plus radial circuit connected when wired that day

 

[ashrow]

what a waste of 5 RCBOs

Also what are the additional CPCs installed in the earth bar, do they tie in with the rcbos etc ?

 

[9regnac]

16amp was used fo radial and six for used for heating. Company keep an eye on spare rcbos making sure they are not swapped for blanks

earth 11 was earth to gas which was getting took out when I wired the new 10 mm to gas that day

 

[ashrow]

16amp was used for fire and six for used for heating. Working with a local authority so they keep an eye on spare rcbos making sure they are not swapped for blanks

earth 11 was earth to gas which was getting took out when I wired the new 10 mm to gas that day

i was being a arse really, to many beers and nothing to do ! but notice the cpc for circuit 6 is in terminal 8 !

 

[9regnac]

Whoops me bad apart from that its passable considering some on the ones we come across. Open a board and its like spaghetti junction and the test sticker is from a week ago and u have to try and connect a new circuit to it with great difficulty

 

[frank3323]

whats the deal with the RCBO earth connections in the DB? never seen that before, but dont work on domestic.. i was always told that RCBO earths have to go into the same connection as the CPC for identification, surely the RCBO earths need to be numbered?

fitted a small consumer unit today for audio equipment

If this is purely for audio I would hav been very tempted to make it TT

is the consumer unit in a unfinished building? Looks like you can see the sky in picture 2 as if there's no roof

Nice board, looks like a small supply for such a big board ?

 

[mark ju]

Nice board, looks like a small supply for such a big board ?

Yes jim, questioned the size of the supply (35mm) myself. Apparently its correct. Meaning that better qualified brains than myself have designed it. Time will tell i suppose.

 

[Jimsparky]

Yes hopefully much cleverer people than us have designed it!
Can't be anymore than 125 amps though could it ?
What do you think the eaton 3's ?

 

[Jimsparky]

A small control panel we built this week.

 

[Robotstar5]

Nice and neat, did you consider a door mounted isolator as I find the extensions have trouble engaging with the door after a while or is interlocking more important?.

 

[Jimsparky]

Yes I totally agree but I also like the door interlocking and for this one it was going inbetween two other items. I'm looking for another isolator make at the moment. ABB are quite good.

 

[Robotstar5]

I generally use Moeller because that's what the boss buys in

 

[Jimsparky]

Our local wholesaler are modeller stockists so that's why I always buy it. Where are you in the country ?

Birmingham, we tend to use CEF, Lockwell or RS

Correct, RCBO functional earth leads should be connected in the same earth terminal as the circuits CPC. That is the case whether it be domestic, commercial, or industrial.

 

[ultinator]

Recently changed a board, I think that the tails outer sheathing should go right up to the main breaker but the 25mm tails were being pigs to bend. I'm open for constructive criticism to improve in future, also the spare ways may be used shortly - the client is having work done so spares have been left in accordance with prospective additons

 

[electric will]

I also strip the outer PVC back on tails but not like that! That looks lie a blind mans done it. No disrespect to the blind

 

[Guest55]

something i knocked up during this mornings smoke break ,

 

[Fin170]

Before and after, may of got it a bit neater if I had more room and wasn't standing so high up a ladder

Still at least it's labelled (the marks on the fuse boxes were mine working out what was doing what) and has all the cpcs connected, quality way to cure your rcd problems by removing them :sick:
