Installing RCBO-Surge Protector inside Meter Cupboard

[pc1966]

More specifically about the SWA - how is the armour earthed?

It really should go in to some metal box where a proper gland terminates the armour and allows that to be linked to the main earth.

Already mentioned above is the exposed primary insulation of the SWA cores, at the very least they should be sleeved.

I would get rid of the henley's and the isolator and fit a fused connection unit with the swa glanded in properly.


It was destined to be a mess from the start, it looks like they took a hammer to the cabinet rather than a hole cutter.

Looks like they couldn't decide which side of the cabinet to use for entry.

The other hole was probably done knowing there was going to be a EV point installed and being as he had hammer in hand.

The tape on the swa on the right where the insulation has likely been stripped back is alarming

I think the guy has got the message that it's left wanting in several ways.
It would be good if we didn't scare him away.
I'm curious about the circumstances, he may have bitten off too much or he may have been thrown into the deep end without enough help. It's good he's got onto the trainee forum now.

Thanks guys, I'm still here - this is the handy work of Bellway developers who built this in 2019. It's been like that since then, no EV charger was provided by Bellway
So if current setup is no good then not sure how it all got inspected and signed off by them.....will post a fuller picture shortly so you can all see the full setup and feedback.
Thanks, really appreciate the comments, helps me understand and gives me pointers to set things right for the long run.
