We’re back with another shocking #caughtoncamera, this one sent in by TMorris_Spark – “How NOT to wire up an electric cooker! 😱
This recent little find was wired using 2.5mm T&E supplying a 6kW cooker/hob. No earth sleeving and both Neutral and Line conductors had been stripped right back! To top it off, we had reverse polarity on the Neutral/Line conductor and the CPC happened to be connected up with the Neutral conductor hence why somebody hadn’t provided RCD protection on that circuit.”
Check out this #caughtoncamera sent over by Primroseelectrical: “Boiler supply flex was wired through a cupboard door… Inevitably this eventually happened, immediately isolated and replaced the flex, through a gap that was already there by the worktop!”
Kevin Smith sent us in this #caughtoncamera – “Found this during inspection. Blacks are neutral & switch line, evidence of arcing between them. Just as well the luminaire & bracket were plastic. What processes even DIYers to do this”
