Yesterday, I was doing an EICR on common parts, small block of flats.
The stairs lighting was on it's own circuit and totalled 8 light fittings. All were maintained with control gear having the appearance of being in the microwave on Full Power for 15 minutes. No big deal.
It was the cabling in the MCB that really caught my attention. 8 x 1.5's came out of it. They had been divided into 2 groups of four. Then twisted together.
Who? I don't suppose that matters.
Why? Now that really is the question.
