Excellent. Is it yours tel? Makes my home brew look a bit insignificant!
 
nope.it's a customer's new business. setting up.
 
the 2 isolators are for the boiling vat. 2 elements, 1 is 9kW and the other is 6kW.
 
Please don't tell me you cleated one cable then used cable-ties to fix the other to it.
 
reason for that is it's bloody freezing, shroud won't go on.going to warm it tomorrow. the one on the left went on because it's a 20L gland.

sadly yes.customer refused the cost of tray, wanted quick job. once connected may fit a few band-it straps. all down to cost.
 
Looks a lot better job than the DIY affair at my local beer choice.

Went to pick up my Christmas dozen from my local micro brewery today. Turns out he ignored my advice about not having 3kW immersion heaters on plug tops.
"The socket still works though" he said.
"Yeah the other side probably does" say I.
"No the burnt side I mean. Still works fine" :openmouth: :angry:

Work in progress give the Bloke a chance Lads, he ain't packed his stuff away yet. Jeez talk about putting the boot in. After all nobody is perfect, are they????????
He's a scouser....... what do you expect apart from the 100lts of beer that you'll get when he turns the place over in a few months.

scousers are always prepared to pay for their beer.not like southern faggots who usually gatecrash partys to get it free.

I am Polish I drink what real men drink, 50ml shots of decent Vodka, beer/ale is for poofs and Northern Scouser types and not real men.


;o))))))


Just yanking your stolen chain Tel ;o))))
 
50ml shots??? that's a woofta measure. good polish vodka should be by the half pint. ( that's about 250ml in foreign speak),
 
It takes a lot of balls to put pictures of your work up for public scrutiny. Constructive critique is one thing none of us is whiter than white on 100% of all jobs not than we would like to be. I think you lot are being a bit hard on Tel if he is using the correct gland out of the packet the shroud may need a bit of heat to make it a bit pliable, do you really think he is going to leave the rubbish on the floor and the cover off the other isolator.
 
I think my criticism was justified. A cable cleat is designed to retain one cable and that cable is not there to support others.
 
It's a shame Tel let the customer tell him in part how to job a bit of tray or similar to take the cable on over the conduits.
The cost of a job or the budget available should not detract from the requirement to comply with relevant Regulations.

Tel's a Scouser, I'm a Manc, taking the proverbial out of each other is what we do! :D
 
@ westie. i can see your point. the original plan was to cleat all 3 cables, but then it would look like the london underground track. who is to say that a cleat can't support 3 cables? the cables are adequately supported and reasonably tidy. if there was a fire, OK, they's sag, but so would all the existing singles in pvc tube sag. as said before, my original plan was to run on 3" tray, but customer declined the additional £300 cost.
 
@SWD.youtry putting in nice bends in XLPE at 0 deg. celcius.

@ ant. cables to loads are 6.0mm silicon flex. glanded into isolators with stuffing glands, cleated to provide extra strain relief.
 
I think you are missing the important bit here which is getting the brewery up and running. Appearance can be worked on later ;)
nail on head. it's ready to go. bit of tidying up to do after xmas, but will tie that in with some extra work he wants doing. he has to plumb in the pumps which are ready wired, then he's brewing.
