My 1st board on site advice

[MrShine94]

Hello,

I have just competed my 1st consumer unit install on site. I would like some advice on how I may improve the quality/neatness.

All constructive criticism welcome

Thanks

A) Proteus is cheap S***
B) You need ferrules on the end of those neutral fly leads.
C) I don't like to see cable ties holding conductors together in a CU

Although at a quick glance aside from the above. Looks ok

Not as good as my very first db install!

...Not as many fuses as yours but at least I've got them in the neutrals as well!

And you've even left a Schedule in the Board.

Top row, there’s a 16A in between 6A.
Personally, I like to have descending sizes from the main switch.
Bottom row needs more blanks if top and bottom are same number of ways.

Speaking of the mainswitch.... there’s no tails connected yet. Post another photo when they are in and we will constructively criticise then.

Where do you get white t&e that looks like Sky shotgun cable?

Thanks of the advice guys appreciate it. I strive improve my quality in my work.

My point about ferrules is a must, you're contravening BS7671 not doing. My other points are merely my opinion.

The cable is used is LSF. The grey stuff is becoming a thing of the past. Will be connecting tails in the next day or so. Will update once competed. Thanks again

Could your link me to the BS7671 requirement please ?

Off the top of my head regulation 526.2 or there about.

Look for fine stranded conductors.
