Spot whats wrong

[SLIPSHOD & SLAPDASH]

Can you spot whats odd & wrong with this dodgy joint found under floorboards.

1. The cpc has come out of the connector.

2. Thats 16mm cable on the right & 2.5mm on the left.

Builder had been paid to rewire flat and to arrange new EDF supply. Had been paid in full and left. The 2.5 feed was from the landlords board via a 30a rewirable fuse.The landlord was oblivious to this untill the winter when the all electric flat blew the 30a fuse. Numerous faults were found in the flat aswell, such as all the lighting having switched neutrals and 20a switches for the heaters, fed from the local ring circuit. It cost about

No Junction box

Incorrectly wired

consumer side - supply side

no connection = neutral

neutral = cpc

phase = phase

But at least the builder took the time to sheath the cpc Blushing, what really makes my blood boil is the builder will do this and get no come back, we get it in the neck when you get "Well it has been like that for years can you not just put it back" no I ****** cannot. X(

Apologies nsparks if this offended it was not directed at you it was more at the fact that a thread could go ignored for so long.

Cheers
