more dodgy wiring

[Andy™]

all phone pics, didnt have digicam with me

found all this whilst looking at a job. building has 1 incoming feed, feeding seperate units via private meters.

incoming TT head

where is all splits

note the lack of overload & RCD protection.

DB further along from service head

meter & DB

this board is the only 1 that has no RCD protection. all others have an RCD before the board

board in unit to be worked on

incoming tails are 25mm singles, taped together

A lot of work there to sort that lot out. I take it that it failed miserably on a recent safety inspection, if not should have done.

i was asked to price to install some lights/sockets & tidy up wiring in 1 unit, and install from scratch in another (that only has a 16A TPNE socket fed from another unit at the moment). at a minimum, the unit he wants the work done in will need ripped out and started again, along with new submain. will also be recommending a TPNE board straight from service head/meter, with RCD'd feeds to each individual unit

still need to look into it further, but fortuantely, they are all low power units, so should still be OK wit the existing service head

Up here in London we dont get many TT installs, the service head in the first pic looks like TNS. All 3 phase supplies here ( for at least 25 years now) will have a seperate earth brought in ( sometimes coloured black) ?
