seen many rings with each end in a different MCB but never a different board
I have , just the once Andy. I probably posted this about 30 yrs ago but its worth telling ....I think , under "
Different characters we come across"
Way back in time to adding a new ITU to a Neurosurgery centre , all in pyro , about 10 sparks on the job .
A new guy started on the firm .... as 2nd fix started . I put him on connecting a couple of boards . The set up was in a service cupboard ..load of pyro's all made off into trunking ....two single phase boards we had clearly marked with a red strip and a blue strip ..... red board was normal circuits , blue board had emergency generator supply . Pyros were marked with Red or Blue tape , they were already marked L & N and circuit name / number . What could go wrong ?
The best bit was the two legs of a ring main , say corridors and Admin were marked R1 ...so , Red board / MCB 1 / 30A ?
No ..... one leg in Red board , MCB3...15A the other leg in Blue board , MCB 8 , 40A . :C
And so it went on ...I don't think any cable was correct ..... but you'd think at least get all the Red cables into the Red board . They put up with him for a few weeks , pulling in SWA's with other guys then got rid of him .... he left his tool kit , when we saw it's contents we should have realised he was no Sparks . ( I recall one gaffer would ask to see a guy's tool kit if he came or a job)
