Seen this before on a block of flats with how the economy 7 was wired wasn't as many flats as you hwithbut luckily we had dual supply CUs so just put henleys in for the neutrals for the economy 7 for 5 flats
Current carrying capacity of the pyro straight from 100 amp main fuse???
Not seen a tncs connected in that way before. The original outer sheath earth looks like it’s been connected, could that cause issues if there is a pen fault and the mass of earth and surrounding properties. Could it be a dodgy tncs conversion because somebody found they had a naff Ze and it’s not a true PME on the DNO’s side?
Might as well wire a perm live its almost there . A whack of the neutral is as more dangerous as a live . And how on hell has it passed time and tiem again back handers .
Just brilliant can't beat it.keeps us in business,❤😂😊
🤦♂️
Neutral taken from “correct” circuit via plug in plug. Live supplied from alternate circuit via the stat. Solution - use the 2 core as a supply/return feed to and from stat using “correct” circuit live from plug 🤷♂️
That's a C3!
FI
I can’t tell how that earth probe is connected?
To an upside down socket screw inside the socket face I think, probably so the screws don’t get lost whilst testing.
Neutral Earth insulation broken
Yehaw haha
Ok, so thinking about this first video a bit. My understanding of this is that it would not be quite the same as loss of PEN on PME. Here when the main switch is off, there is no return to the point at which the earth connection is made from the supply neutral. So the earth cabling doesn’t become live. However the neutral bar becomes live because the line conductor to the A1 terminal on the contactor in the consumer unit exits at A2 and there is no return path to the supply neutral. And so with the main switch off, would that mean that the coil in the consumer unit would not operate because there is no return neutral, and the line conductors of circuits are live supplied from the live neutral bar and neutral conductors through various pieces of equipment ??????. My brain hurts!!!
Shouldn’t be tested with load attached. RCD test is to check the breaker not the circuit
Just earth the DB end of the SWA ? No point in earthing a coupler on plastic enclosures, this could just add another potential exposed conductor issue?
Have you ever tried yir steak N chips with mushrooms and a good curry sauce
Nice 😂
C3 rcd recommended
Are you cooking it on a plate?!
What was going on here bro, one cable was already tapped in back of socket, was it a cable fault, you manage to sort it or have to disconnect piece of cable causing problem
Cable fault mate .. we'll pop back sometime to get 4 sockets back on
@Mainly_Electrical great videos these mate , real world problems, was it a ring circuit, did you just have to split it for time being
No
Enjoy the meal 🍽️
Borrowed neutral possibly 🤔
I'll do a members post on this Daz 👍
Was the cu compliant at the time it was installed? Despite it not being a type A rccb/rcd could the hob circuit be moved to the rcd protected side?
Boards fine Daz few C3s there would be. We'll end up swapping it anyway the guys selling it and wants no C3s. Socket no RCD by back door would fail it yes
There certainly are some, not only talented, but consiecious people in the sparky game
Borrowed neutral very dangerous!
You have actually explained the problem in two words.
Hmm. The old socket can be used to provide power outdoors bullshit. Dear IEE, just say all sockets should be rcd protected. Tester in my company have raised C2s for this gibberish in tower blocks of flats. With a long enough extension cable, ANY socket can provide power outdoors.
That's clearly a modern kitchen so I would be asking questions about the electrician's ability to produce a satisfactory MEIWC or EIC (depending on the extent of the kitchen upgrade works) whist at the same time, adhering to BS7671. You can't move that circuit it to the RCCB side as that is a type AC and you'll also take the potential load over the maximum allowable for that RCCB. Socket circuit 8 has multiple circuits and circuit 4 has a large crack in the brass terminal block. Consumers tails are not identified by colour either. C3 with a recommendation that the CU be upgraded. This is just my opinion, I welcome constructive criticism.
Outside light of the socket, what a bodge
Can a pme fault detection device also detect pen faults and vice versa can a pen fault detection device detect pme faults?
Yes it requires additional protection.
That's a perfect new build kinda board that installed by a quality electrician 💩🤡😆
It wouldn't take 5 mins to move it over to the RCD protected side!! No code and bill them accordingly..
And you gonna make that RCD type A while u r at it too?
i hate how dumb you make me feel :D, Top job @mainly heres me thinking im ready to qualify </3
C2 all day long as it could be used to supply outdoor equipment.
No problem the return is through the earth...
Always find em burnt to a crisp aswell 🤣
Yes , This would've gone open circuit eventually , shows the importance of going to the very end of the circuit
Yes. Likely to supply outdoor equipment.
100% C2 for me, as you could potentially plug an extension lead outside. ☠️ ⚡️
So in a nutshell, the flats situation is the same scenario as losing the PEN conductor in a PME supply, but only when the contactor is energised.! By redirecting the live supply which triggers the contactor back through the system having lost only the Neutral when the main flats switch is off, which does not switch the contactor live, as it is fed from an earlier position. Phew.!!
No one would be working on that board between midnight and 7am so no problem 😀
Always ring
4.16 protection against electromagnetic effects where cables enter consumer unit/ distribution board I think also needs to be taken into consideration. Great shout about the neutrals becoming live honestly I doubt I would have spotted that (feeling ashamed)
Neutral fault
👌❤️
What’s that silver snake duct
