Some comments please

OK chaps. Bearing in mind this is in Thailand would you be overly concerned, yes it does have a metal cover over the works.


This is a custom board made to fit in a particularly awkward space, I have a local colleague who is branding it "unsafe" but is really unable to explain what his issues are.


Thoughts?

EDIT Please ignore the Schneider labelling on the box, the guts is all non-standard it was just cheaper to buy a suitable unit and remove the works than to get a custom one made.

    My worry would be all those thin wires (with apparently just basic insulation) close to the main bus-bars - I can't tell the rating of the incomer form the picture, but I'd have concerns that it may well not protect those wires from fault adequately. (UK RCBOs with a N tail have the tail going into the top side of the RCBO - i.e. away from the bus-bar).


    You can get bus-bars for the "two terminals in 1 module width" arrangement (they're common in France) - for me that would have been preferable to lots of thin wires.
