Trainee

[Peter J Wrench]

Doing a Distance learning course and thought it might be a good idea to build my own board.

 

[Peter J Wrench]

The right way up

What going on with the wiring in both light roses?

 

[Simonslimline]

Looks like permanent feeds to each rose, and a switchwire at each. Some brown sleeving definitely missing though.

 

[Peter J Wrench]

Have yet to sleeve lives.
Yes permanent feeds to rose.

I can see that lol

Wrong type of boxes for the ceiling roses, main bonding doesn't look like 10mm and the circuits all look to be wired in the same size cable, I appreciate you are a trainee, but the clipping could be improved, well done for trying, maybe a picture of the internals of the CU?

 

[Peter J Wrench]

Ceiling rose boxes were a bit of an after thought (very tight budget)
Wired 2.5 or rings and radials and 1.5 for lighting.
Main bonding is 4mm (like I said very tight budget).

Not proud of my work but thought it would be worth posting for constructive criticism.

CU internals to follow

My first attempt

I would be very disappointed Peter .

There are no tails it won't work :laugh:

I think the practice board looks very adequate and you're right to take the initiative to put one together. I'm sure the neatness of your cabling will come better with practice.

Need a bit of trunking across the top of the DB (IP4X):icon12:

What he said

 

[Peter J Wrench]

Practice is the key and that is why have done this. I am lucky as have been offered on tools experience.
Not employed but helping out.

My first attempt

a tip with CU wiring. to make the neatest job, first mark all cables with sharpie, then do all the cpc's, followed by all the neutrals, then all the Lines into the MCBs. that way you can dress them in neat.
