Spot The Fault™

[Andy™]

Installed by a 'compressor engineer'. He also forgot to put the board blanks for the entire LHS, all 7 unused ways are now open. but at least he put a label to say what the newly installed MCB was for. unfortunately, its about the length of 5 MCB's, so covers the space above & below the MCB

that braid is only for show isn't it? What do you mean you are supposed to connect it somewhere?

 

[Sidewinder]

Mute point, the braid is not actually suitable as an earth/cpc, so it does not require connection on that basis.

YES 10000% it's a rough job, I 1000% agree.

However, I have never been able to find a definitive statute law reason to connect the braid, nor one under BS7671 that explicitly requires the braid of an SY to be earthed at either end, let alone the source.

I would try to interpret several, and I would argue all the way to the highest court in the land my beliefs with 1000% conviction, but, unfortunately there is no explicit defined requirement.

You may well be able to imply it from more than one or more regs, which is where I am coming from, but, there is no explicit requirement based on the braid of an SY.

More is the shame.

 

[Marvo]

There's several cables that fall into that category, the foil layer in surfix.cable would be similar.

Interestingly he appears to,have used an SY gland...?wrongly........but he has used one

 

[Sidewinder]

Yes it looks like a GXD type, so he obviously did not understand how to use it!

well spotted. that is a CXT gland he has installed but not correctly used

 

[kerching]

I have eyes like a ********* rat....when Mr Merlot has not visited

When he has called I am like Mr Magoo

I think he may have even fitted one of the braid 'trapping rings/washers' twixt gland ad enclosure!

Looks to,thick to be a banjo

Just observing

you`ve all missed the bloody point.

Either the DB isn`t straight, or the brickwork is off - there is a definite parallax going on there.

Do I win summat?

 

[apprentice87]

Hmm, not so sure. could it be that the brickworks is level as is the DB but that the brick is tapered and the mortar bead likewise??

john..

[PS, Something is not right though!!]

 

[Zeespark]

The fact that the bottom plate shown is screw removable??? just a guess
