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 !

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

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?

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 ?

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 ?

A small control panel we built this week.

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.

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

something i knocked up during this mornings smoke break ,

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:
