Re: Tell us about your faults !

I knew customer needed a 3ph socket installing, but he said he had already promised the job to someone else. Six weeks later, it finally got installed. I had a quick shufty today because have not seen the inside of one of these before, and noticed the interesting choice of earth link between the isolator switch above the unit and the socket itself.

Just trawled throught the 1,100+ posts in this rogue's gallery with great amusement. But the one above, from 2 years ago, stands out because everyone comments on the dodgy CPC wiring. But nobody seems to have seen anything at all untoward about this TP&N commando having being wired without a neutral!
:nono:
 
I'll put my hands up for that one, Shunter, well spotted. It was my original post and I never clocked about the missing neutral. I do know that the only 3ph equipment they plug in (a steam cleaner) does not need a neutral, but that is no excuse. It also means that the steam cleaner has the wrong plug on.
 
I had no earth at a double socket once, when checking my values with my MFT scratching my head, i was completely baffled as I had run the new circuit.

Turned out to be a missing peice of the earth bar on the Click Polar range socket i used.
My fault for not checking it visually hah
