Our mate Eddy

[Tony S]

Found by Phil D and I in a network rail warehouse 

 

[roys]

Could be into a painted brass or stainless gland plate.

 

[ProDave]

Or there could be slots cut between them.

Or in the real world, it doesn't matter?

 

[Tony S]

The male and female bushes are brass but the lock nuts and plate are steel. Phil D spotted it first and took the photograph. The singles are connected direct to the 300A busbars.

I’ve worked on English Electric CFS switchgear for years and I like the stuff. I’ve cobbled various types of switch fuse units on to EE busbar chambers a few times but I’d be ashamed of that effort. Still what do you expect from Network Rail contractors?

I Feel sure someone will be along very shortly  with a pithy and withering comment regarding the above!

I wait with bated breath and a glass of merlot

Eddy's brother Over and sister Under went to see Aunty Fault for some buns.

To bite or not to bite. 

 

[binky]

go on bite, you know you want to :^O

 

[Tony S]

What is there to bite at?

It’s a Network Rail warehouse, or was when the work was done. That’s how we found it when the new owners took it over.

 

[Essex1]

That work was never done by anyone from Network Rail. I can guarantee that 100%. 

 

[Tony S]

I can assure you it was, I have the previous engineering report in my files.

 

[Essex1]

Nope. No way at all. Far too old. 

British Rail maybe. Network Rail not a chance.  :B
