To tie wrap or not to tie wrap. That is the question

I really don’t like the position of the earth bar.
I would be tempted to put an earth bar down each side.

There is a Regulation governing the make up of earth sleeving I believe, although I don't have my copy of 7671 to hand.

There are rules about identification sleeving but the regs also allow identification by tape, disc or paint.

As others have said, real nice job. However, get your boss to invest in some G/Y heat shrink for the CPC on jobs like this. Looks 100% better IMO.

Very neat, but I’ve never seen so much tape - going to be interesting after a year at operating temp perhaps?

I’m not a fan of binding cores in miles of insulating tape , it looks very amateur imo

A bit of 4mm 6mm colour sleeve would look the bizz

But we had no sleeving. We have been through this earlier in the thread

My point is use sleeping next time

The boss won’t buy it. If it was my job I would

These are the boards in the flats. I like them except for the bus bar and how it goes behind the neutral

 

[Charlie_]

Put RCD on other side and move neutral bar over too.
Bring cables in at top instead?

 

[casperLennon]

Cables have to come in at the bottom do the board is the right height. I’m on price so I not gonna move the neutral bar

 

[westward10]

Tell him the cost of using insulation tape is above using sleeving in terms of labour.

that is the schneider design, same as the square D boards. L busbar is cranked behind the N. makes you thing when fitting the tails .....L is on right N on left.

 

[Andy78]

Not seen one of those before.
No sliders.
Shame about the earths.

It's a KQ board based on the Square D pattern, not an acti-9.

How is the armoured going to be glanded off ?
