--- Quote from: Whales on October 09, 2022, 12:06:30 am ---Circlotron: Just like me I see your oven is not RCD protected. Perhaps it was more than just cost, perhaps ovens were known to be nuisance trip devices? I'm surprised to see DIN rail GPOs. I assume putting a traditional GPO below the box would be cheaper than a DINGPO but I guess it's also much faster (time equals money). Thankyou everyone sharing their photos :) I'm enjoying looking through them all. --- End quote --- They are. The insulating powder in the elements absorbs moisture over time and can have quite a low resistance when cold. I did once put some fail stickers on some ovens in a home economics classroom in a school we were refurbing, and their maintenance manager kicked off about it, saying they were fine, and a low resistance between line and earth is normal and the IET PAT manual mentions it. They had a big meeting about it and my line manager asked me what the measured resistance was. "Zero" I said. The head teacher then said "well, we'll just buy new ones, they were a bit old and tatty anyway". |

I find the inclusion of sockets inside a consumer unit to be a very clever idea, but I don't think I've ever seen it done in the UK. |

I found one with the international socket. Compare it's branding to somebody else we know.. |

Here's mine. First one is the house, 2nd is the workshop, 3rd in shed at bottom of garden. 100A incomer fuse at bottom feeds the utility company meter then from there into my meter which has a modbus interface and is connected to an Arduiino which also picks up via wifi the SolarPV inverter data before publishing to PVOutput.org Workshop fusebox is pretty new. Installed myself from feed from house, just had to get quali electrician to sign-off. Shed fusebox at bottom of garden via buried armoured cable (see it coming up from bottom left). This is a plastic fusebox which I believe is outlawed here in UK now. Ian. |
