OK then, have a heating DB of mine that's not so neat. Long day, think we finished 9PM by the time that was fitted and tested and all the other stuff we had to do to finish this job. I like these Eaton boards a lot, Much nicer than the Wylex 3PH board I fitted yesterday.

Lovely work, the SWAs and tails look superb and the board is first class too.
 
Just finished installing a few racks in a BT exchange, twenty 35mm feeds onto the DC distribution.

Tri-rated is lovely to work with but a complete pain in the hoop to get looking neat as it just wants to goo where it wants to go. Also the cable management within the Huawei end of suite unit is crap.

Nice! You wouldn't want to short that incoming supply...
It's not that big, fault current of roughly 10kA with the batteries. If I remember tomorrow I'll try and get a picture of the older busbar DC system made up of four 200x15mm copper bars sandwiched together. Unfortunately the old battery system has been removed, they used to use open cell vats around the size of a bath containing the acid and battery plates...
 
Ah I should have expected that, the issue was poor stock control, I ran out of 2mm that very morning so had to resort to some 3mm that was in the van. No pleasing some people. ?
when I were an apprentice 20 year ago on the electric board, they wouldn't stock 2mm sleeving, one of the "old boys" would sit and strip 1.5 g/y single to relieve lengths of appropriate sized sleeving as he simply refused to overdress his cpcs:smile:

It had an effect on me as I've always strived to keep it on the van whereas you wonder if a minority today know it exists
 
This thread is going cold so have another DB.

No, No, No
go back and do it again.
the live on circuit 12 is longer than the neutral

Take some pride in your work boy.

p.s. I like the earth bar and its signage.
and I am pleased that you can accept my dry humour.

Well Freddo, it seems I must try harder, going by your pictures I might only be the second best in the South West. :grinning:
