Does This Installation Look Correct? Discussion ThreadDoes This Installation Look Correct? Electrical Advice
Hi all,
I wondered if you could give us your thoughts on our friend's installation? I've included some photos. We're sure that there's something wrong with it, but we wanted some expert opinions.
Here's a bit of background:
An electrician changed the original split distribution board and carried out an EICR. Prior to the CU change, the upstairs and downstairs lighting was on two separate circuits and apparently, the lightbulbs would often blow. That's not the case now. The tariff is just on a flat rate, so our friend doesn't benefit from lower tariff through the night.
It looks like the earth clamp is a BS951 (see bottom photo)
Can you tell us if all looks correct here, and if it's not, should the DNO be the first contact?
