Consumer Unit Challenge.

Zoomup

This time we feature the Lesser Spotted Consumer Unit. Do you notice anything strange about it children?

   

  • The main switch/RCD has been wired upside down. You couldn't make it up! (I haven't looked for anything else.)

    What flavour lollipop would you like Chris?

    I hope that you haven't been buying those funny sweets from the naughty people at the school gates Christopher.

  • In addition to the use of meter tail in the box it looks as if there is a suspiciously thin red and black going to the middle 32A MCB.

  • in reply to mapj1

    Think that is the end of a cable behind Mike, possibly without a cpc. That MCB, along with the right hand one, looks empty, and probably held the flying 6mm cables.

    I am pretty sure the neutral "meter tail" into the neutral bar has had a haircut. Shame really, there is a perfectly good neutral bar at top left with a clamp for larger conductors, and marked N, which has been ignored
