Electrical Question. Consumer Unit.

Zoomup
Evenin' All,

                       it was fun getting to work today. Firstly, I had left my van's windows open about 5mm at the top to reduce condensation buildup. A Big mistake. The dusty fine snow had found a way in and covered the driver's seat and the steering column and some parts of the dashboard. Joy and bliss I said.


Anyway now to the question. Sparky Sid was installing a new Niglon R.C.B.O. populated consumer unit. It has a main D.P. switch and six R.C.B.O.s.


He always uses one  short length of P.V.C. earth sleeving when assembling these types of consumer units.


Why?

    he does not use T and E for the final circuits, so it is only the incomer that needs covering ?

    I presume he removes that silly braid to the lid.

    No MIke he leaves the flexible earth bond on the hinged cover as it does no harm and he is lazy.?
