Sinful Action.

Zoomup

I committed a sin today. I removed an old consumer unit and installed a new all R.C.B.O. consumer unit. Afterwards I found that the two lighting circuits had a shared neutral somewhere. When I turned on the lounge light the two lighting circuits' R.C.B.O.s tripped off.

I then just connected the two lighting circuits up to just one of the R.C.B.O.s to get the lights on.

Sometimes you just can't be asked.

Will I go to hell?

    I rather like the concept  of a state of purgatory [electrical department]  where folk are re-educated and have to become reformed characters before being allowed to move on to some sort of sparky heaven where the lights never flicker and the wiring meets all known standards, perfectly…

    I guess those who of us who have used 415V  3 phase boards on 230-0-230 split phase are in the long stay section, along with the chaps who always cut the CPC too short and only have incomplete paperwork.

    It will also need an area for international arrivals ? based on the wiring I see abroad.

    Mike.
