Any Idea What This Is?

[MeFil]

West Midlands police are trying to identify what this is. Was found in a van load of stolen copper. Looks electrical... Anyone got any ideas?

Earth bar?

 

[kerching]

Looks like it has been stolen from your post!

 

[kerching]

To me it looks like either a neutral or an earth bar out of a Merlin Gerin/Schneider 4 or 8 way three phase MCCB panel board

The type that takes MGP0323 MCCBs

Just saying

Or it could be part of a an earth marshalling bar that has had the disconnect removed

I am triumphant, oh FRICKING YES........mind you I do install a lot of these

Bloody hell...well spotted there Kerch .    Pre-Merlot I presume.

I can't see the pic  but I'd guess it is from a Merlin /Schnieder  TPN board ,, earth bar using square holes & those square headed bolts    :innocent   :innocent   :coat  

 

[kerching]

The square holes are to stop the bolts from turning as they have a shank under the head.

It may stop them turning, however IT does not stop them falling out and disappearing

Just a font of all knowledge AND the forum's voice of reason for 2015...

Merlot will be later as I am having a minor celebration tonight ( NOT. In a Savilesque way though )

Two threads merged. O was going to delete, but some humorous replies worthy of keeping.

who else thinks he 'borrowed' it, but didnt know what it was so wanted a better description for ebay than 'copper bar with mostly square holes in'

Original tweet from wmp .. 2 tonnes of stolen scrap. No insurance.

 

[Blue Duck]

Wehey ANPR works then....

Had it been insured though.....

 

[Andy™]

Had it been insured though.....

... he would probably be an honest working person without 2 tonne of stolen material in the back

 

[kerching]

The question was.....will,the person who stole all,the copper in Est Midlands please identify themselves by using the secret codeword....test reply (***by Admin3***)

Anonymity guaranteed

There are also earth bars like this available for panel builders to use in bespoke panels.

The company I worked for in the late 80's early 90's used them.
