No s#@t Sherlock 😎

Kurdish. I didnt remove any lids, tenant says its been like this since he moved in 6 months ago Maybe the pallet was 'A Barrier' as listed on some inspections, but someone moved it 😁

This is how i found the electrics when i walked into this occupied workshop Installed 6 months ago !

Not seen any lead sheathed cable still in service for a while now This is how i found the cut out when i opened the understairs cupboard Main earth connection. Looked like 2.5 (but imperial) cable.  Got 0.34 Ze One of the boards. Nice size tails

Saw this on a job yesterday, stll in use and working.well,  working on  mains as i think the battery had passed its best. From the rest of the house i recon this was installed  mid 70,s

Good point. As i have never seen a split phase installation i forgot about it. Its 460 V ? or is it now 440  with the 'harmonised'  wording.  Even so, something is not correct wirh the 440 & 240v supplies

Do you know what your main fuse size is. It may say 60, 80 or 100 A on the outside, or it  may say nothing or be wrong but it will give us a clue.  However it seems so far quite posdjble to run your whole house of one phase & meter

As mentioned above, this has been discussed many times.  The local isolator  is fitted due to the risk of injury by the mechanical movement  of the fan & not electric shock . This rule came about years  ago in relation to much bigger bits of kit than the puney 100mm bathroom fans that...

I always thought of them with normally open & normally closed contacts, and never as Andy quite correctly said 2 way  :Salute

Hi Robin Your descriptions are wrong for the phases.  Any phase to neutral is 230v and between any 2 phases is 400v. No such thing as 440v single phase.

Reset  the panel immediately and its been ok. Panel batt is good

My own house sabt tamper  activated at 1.15am this morn  (and its .5 meter from our open bedroom window 🤐) Its a Flashguard  (XL from memory )  as its been up there 18 years & never touched it,  along with the Castle Meridian  panel just as  long except that has had 1 new batt.

Can a dodgy battery in a SCB (not SAB)  cause a tamper ?

All the double pole 'Henlys' i see nowadays are branded RDL & all 10 holes are for 25mm cable.

Once only had a rewire in a house made like that. Built late 70's in Hatfield. I think we Gripfilled and bonded everything in place

Then its not allowed there.

A few years back  it was a boiler  that told me there was reversed  polarity on a whole job . Boiler locked out when new meters were fitted. Cant remember all the details but previous sparks had reversed cables but taped correct colours  on  tails. When  the ends were  cut off and reconnected...

I bet they are old storage heater supplies
