Confessions of an Electrician...

Lisa Miles

So while we’ve not been able to log into the community (you can do so now if you didn’t already know) I’ve been keeping myself out of mischief Blush by going through some of the discussion topics on the old Wiring Regs forum and came across this one: Walking off site where some of you were sharing stories about your experiences with client's pets while on the job. 


So I thought it would be a bit of fun to ask you to share some of your funny/bizarre or just weird stories (keeping it relatively clean and protecting the privacy of others please!) from any jobs you’ve been on or done.


… And I’ll send some swag to the author of the story that gets voted the ‘Most helpful/liked’ from the community so don't forget to hit that 'Good Answer' link on any that make you chuckle! (Log in required)

  • There used to be an electric shower manufacturer here in  Worcester that made electric showers that were not electrically insulated, hence the old practice of running a main earthing conductor to the shower as well as the circuit protective conductor.


    As Bod passed comment the requirement to install a RCD finished off that type of shower, though I still occasionally see them in old bathrooms that have not been updated for many years.


    You may be surprised to see some of the old electrical equipment that is still in use or still in place awaiting replacement.
