50 year old installation.

[bawall]

Was asked to carry out a EICR and found this! One saving grace is the storage heating on a separate phase has been disconnected. My personal favourite is the fuse carrier with a live tail from the meter exposed just where you would put your thumb to remove the carrier to replace the fuse wire! and still the customer questioned why I said the condition of installation was unsatisfactory!!

Yay ! Fused neutrals for the win !!! lolz

thats a C1 right there !

and i like the 400v warning graffitti by banksey

and some of that is older than 50yrs i'd bet ;-)

Yes there was more than a couple C1's on the sheet lol I made the Wylex board "safer" with a blank I had from a CU change I done the other day. Got better as each room only had one socket some changed to double's all with multiple socket extensions.

Whilst there maybe a fuse shown, how do you know there is not a solid link rather than a fuse

i dont.

but the fact it can still be pulled out with the live still energised is just as worrying ..........

Its a Fuse both carriers are identical and marked 15A 26SWG MAX and both have a fuse wire in not to mention the splayed switching connector and bent switch link.

Although you are suposed to pull the fuse from the sides there is still the exposed Live terminal.

Well it's older than 50 years old as fuse's where not allowed in the neutral from 1955 in the regs.
