You are EE! --- End quote --- That means he can understand what's there - and have an idea of risk - but unless he is a licenced electrician, he can't touch it. |

There are tens of thousands of installations that look just like this - and most owners won't know about the tangle behind the board because they won't look at anything but the meters and fuses/breakers. (Yes, there are still a lot of ceramic fuses still out there.) --- End quote --- Just because there are lots like it doesn't mean it's safe. It's clearly not properly maintained. |

I bet if you inspected every electricians own house you'd find more than few that don't comply 100% to the rules,i know mine dont,but in the main we know the risks and what exactley is safe |

I marked the 3 Hot spots All illegal .. in the rest of the 1st & 2nd world class countries. Except for Australia where the electricians don't work to any safety standards .. |

It is presently a mess - that's reason enough to investigate. Whether it's dangerous or not needs to be determined by doing more than screaming "OH GOD I SEE COPPER IT MUST BE LIVE!", and "A CABLE TIE, IT WILL KILL US!". I cannot see for certain what that wire is connected to or whether it's live - and nor can you. It actually looks like that was the feed to the breaker, which would mean it's not live.. --- Quote ---Except for Australia where the electricians don't work to any safety standards .. --- End quote --- Ah, yes, one bad installation condemns an entire country. Calm down, dear, and get a grip. |
