What's wrong here then?

I started a PIR today in an office where they write computer software. There are a few other issues but I thought that I'd post this picture for people to ponder.

So forgive me being vague, it's intentional0

Toasty warm!...handy on these chilly Spring evenings... :coat

 

[NozSpark]

No, that's just the camera angle I'm afraid

 

[gavindrummond]

No cross bonding to metal back box & the cpc is too long almost touching

 

[NozSpark]

Not fly lead,,,

not earth too long

 

[NozSpark]

The double socket outlet only has one earth terminal ? :slap

That's how it's made:O

Is this aimed at our less experienced colleagues, Noz?

Yes, you could pm me though

Is it wired reverse polarity, I must say it does look burnt out

Hi intergrity earthing? Allthough I would say a C3

Is it the sleeving, I recon theres 71% yellow to 29% green. code 1 rewire.

 

[philbas]

not needed if we have one fixed screw, although i think it bad practise, ill go with reverse polarity

 

[batty]

I only said that as most of the sockets I use are the other way round I think.

Actually looking at it now I think most sockets are that way round although obviously they have twin earth's these days.

 

[sellers]

I'll go with, socket hanging off the wall, single insulated cables on show, not to IP2x, socket not fixed correctly

 

[NozSpark]

And Sellers has it apart from others who knew and only aluded to it

Yes, there's no High Integrity Earthing anywhere in the property,,,, even in the server room

 

[gavindrummond]

I still think its fly lead cpc, the left screw is not tight so could cause tearing of insulation and the grey sheathing looks taken back a bit too much. Also the cpc wire is longer whilst not being a problem it's bad practise????

 

[sellers]

Backbox earth ?PC's presumably ? So.......

I'll share it with canoeboy, this prompted me.
