**Show Us Your Installs!!!**

[Silly Sausage]

You're setting yourself up there, John!
I'm sure it'll be excellent.

Found this when i went to inspect

Very noble of you to sort out this god awful mess. What kind of scumbag does work like this? Its just as quick to do it neatly. How could you possibly test an installation in this state?

 

[yoz7241]

Evening gentlemen,

Just some various solar PV inverter installations that Iv done over the past few months

anyone else got solar pics??

Bob- BM electricsView attachment 12364View attachment 12365View attachment 12366View attachment 12367View attachment 12368

The boards should have been heat resistant! Not ply, ive used pv rails in the past if i couldnt get hold of the heat resistant boards!!! Also not much slack inside the isolators with cable!!!

 

[yoz7241]

this in an solar install the company i work for has carried out was pretty bad View attachment 11590



we were fitting an ldc/network meter into the circuit and this is what it looked like when i left a lot better in my eyesView attachment 11591

Hang on, is that dc cable going into the generation meter???? wats going on there?????

 

[Dave 85]

Heres the board I did today, not done many RCBO boards before.


And the inside of my van

 

[trev]

1) The board is another thing of beauty
2) The van is far too tidy, hang your head in shame

 

[Wicksyp]

Dave 85 i didnt have a choice as i could not find anything as it was a mess.

ill do my best. Its going to be a ballache of a job, but ive just done the EICR of the place, so i know the circuits well ect, which helps.

Hi Dave that cu is neat best I have seen in a while just cant get them quite that neat my self.

 

[daiplayer]

Crossrail I should imagine

Crossrail Press Release - Crossrail's first tunnel boring machine unveiled - Crossrail

my dad used to work for them ( herrenknecht) as an electrician .

 

[Thomas123]

Some of my work for my nic inspection...

 

[saracen]

looks like a manufacturer 90 piece lol nice job

 

[Wicksyp]

Nice board Dave85 now that is a work of art

 

[rich.250]

Now awaiting the new supply lol.
Lovely little cupboard they wanted it in aswell

 

[trev]

Rich, that is gorgeous mate.

 

[rich.250]

Try to make future works as easy as possible

 

[Wicksyp]

Rich that is a work of art mate well done ace

 

[topcat]

nice job Rich

 

[rich.250]

Cheers guys. Looking up the page, wish I used a metal one, lots more room by looks of it lol

 

[Strima]

Why aren't all installs that tidy, bet it cost a few bob...

 

[rich.250]

Don't think it was cheap lol.
Only way to get the db in the crap little cupboard they chose.....
There choice, and best way IMO

 

[Dilraj Bhambra]

nice, all of them good. pages 1-12

Outdoor lighting job we recently completed at a B&B and wedding venue in Cambridgeshire:

 

[Silly Sausage]

Nice!
Looks a smidge nicer than the local Irish Club where I'm going to be Best Man in a few months time!

Where was that done exactly? Looks good and not cheap...

 

[trev]

I'd love to get some quality graft like that instead of bloody shops and takeaways where no one wants to spend any money

 

[Eco Chap]

Some Half finished pv jobs for you. I have quite a few archived somewhere.

And the finished article

 

[Eco Chap]

Loving this cable tray work!!

 

[edrobbo8]

Where was that done exactly? Looks good and not cheap...

It was The Old Hall, just outside Ely, Cambridgeshire. It was nice work, and a stunning backdrop to work in.

The installation took around 25 working days total, including 2 x 150m runs of SWA, luckily into existing ducting! Plus 200m SWA for all the uplighting etc., around 30 IP rated boxes, and about 100 SWA glands.

You can also see in one of the pics, the Oak pavilion, which was built to mirror the Ely Cathedral Octagon, we put 2 x 2.0kW infra red heaters in there, along with 4 x Hunza Lawn Lights sunk into the grass to uplight the structure.

Plus, the professional photography helps it to look better

 

[Strima]

Looks very nice mate, well done.

 

[johnboy6083]

Heres a 3ph DB change i did last night. Was a pain, and almost every circuit needed extending.

Here's one I'm working on at the moment.

 

[nathandance1996]

I'm 15 but I have already done an Install of 240v lights and sockets on a specialized golf buggy.



The lights are just standard bayonet cap with 15w appliance bulbs.

 

[Strima]

I'm intrigued, why 240V on a golf buggy? I can see the possible uses for sockets but why the lights? Surely it would have been easier and safer to run the lights on 12 or 24 volts?

Love the buggy idea though, looks like a right giggle.

thats more like it. whats this spin, a main feeder board that then feeds smaller ones?

the man who wants the golf buggy wants 240 as he will be using a mains hookup (for running appliances) as well as an inverter, so as not to drain on the batteries, they are only for decoration. I originally decided on 240 because he wanted flicker bulbs to imitate an oil lamp, and figured that neon flicker bulbs would be easier to find than having to make circuitry to get a 12v bulb to flicker.

it is relatively safe as the 240v is earthed to the chassis and the lamps are earthed
if any problems occur the rcd will shut it off.
I have yet to install the 16a appliance inlet and breakers.

these have yet to be installed for the mains hookup.

from 12/24 to 240v im sure it will pull a few wheelies so much fun lol:hair:

if he has any problems with 240v, I can always remove the plug and wire it in to the 12v supply and use 12 bayonet cap bulbs which you can buy for inspection lights. if they don't fit I may have to use 12v halogen fittings instead.

 

[nathandance1996]

the power batteries (for appliances) runs at 12v but the traction batteries are each 8v and add up to 48v.

Yes, four supplies from the sub using three 185mm² 4core cables in parallel. Two 1kA and two 1.2kA.

Here's the other end in the new sub.
Not lived up yet.

So how do we deal with what in the link above ?

Staff toilet replacement to 2D28W HF with Clix ceiling rose, and exactly the same track for GU10's installed above main entrance door to corridor. Lamps are Kosmic 6000 Kalvins LED's 5W each.

Whole staff and warehouse block 3 phase board with timer controls for staff showers. Missing descriptions of the circuits on the board itself only because I haven't got nice gel pen. Gonna do it on Monday. Nightmare to achieve IP4X for the top of the board.



Showers themself lights are IPX4 (GU10 fittings with Kosmic GU10LED's 6500 Kalvins) bigger in middle & IP67 (Emco) small LED's with emergency inverters - smaller spots on sides.


& Last for today's show is small project in warehouse. Lights and sockets on working benches, with light behind industrial massive shelves. D.B. was not installed by myself so any not straight SWA is not my art of work.


enjoy

 

[iamgary25]

This was my first solar install
I have not long qualified, i'm only 20, would be greatful for feedback

[edrobbo8]

Snapester, just out of interest, why did you step the downlight out in the entrance way?

His chalk line had a bend in it... :lol:

I like it.

 

[trev]

I like it too, makes it look more interesting than a straight line of them

 

[Resu]

The boss' last CU in an eco house we just completed.

And something that came to visit (Wood Wasp). Bugger was huge!

 

[Snapester]

Well bascially the joist feel awkwardly so i decided to just put it to the side instead of looking wierd and too close to the others!
Kinda had no choice!

 

[Guest123]

Ere's a few........

 

[Guest123]

Managed to get em the right way up now!!!!:yes:
