DNO connection

I was just out of nappies when this connection was made in 1960. One of the lads flagged it on an EICR as a mild matter of concern, probably because I have made it clear that taped up connections that we often see at luminaires need to be considered as not properly enclosed. The client duly contacted the DNO. They are happy that it remains safe, although didn’t put it in writing. It probably is, and to be honest, apart from reading the meter, I don’t think anyone else has been in the intake since JFK bumped Richard Nixon out of office.

  • Maybe the DNO inspector was used to a more lax attitude to bare conductors, perhaps coming from a background where things like this are deemed acceptable. 
    As for the OP, the intake is in a basement where outer and inner doors are locked shut at all times. Nonetheless, I fully respect JPs strong views on the issue. It certainly wouldn’t be the sort of building where appropriate managerial oversight could be considered to be in mitigation.
