What would you do with this?

[PJElectricalSW]

Hi all

Went to see a man about a dog a while back and whilst I was there was chatting as you do about things and I mentioned I am an electrician. The now customer/man asked me to carry out some work for him and said he knew of some nuisance tripping faults, would I mind having a look and repair.

Let me know what you think if you were presented with this, I said before I do anything this needs a tidy up and testing. He called today and asked when I could get back to carry out phase 1, this is going to be fun.

I now feel hungry looking at that plate of spaghetti.

That'll keep you busy for a month or two

 

[telectrix]

that's a right bolognaise.

mamma mia, che cazzo di casino.

Is that 3 single phase circuits using the white conductors?
BS 951 on the armour?

Is this a training centre test rig?

 

[sparkdog]

It must take a lot of skill to get the wires so perfectly knitted together.

 

[pirate]

ok, my first ever job and I'm not proud of it! LOL!

Seriously though, that 5-way Wago with the neutrals, is that a y or t junction on a crimp? Is that a thing?
Not joking, I would really like to know.
I mean, I've crimped before (that's why I've gone for the straighteners now, my hair was a mess) but would you do that in that location?

 

[Deleted member 26818]

I think the Wagos may be for dissed circuits?
No scratch that.

 

[pirate]

Oh, ok...but when there are 2 ways free, why crimp and put in one?
Why not cut and use both?
Could use some labelling, too?

 

[The Ghost]

Do I see thermal damage top left?

 

[pirate]

If it's a crimp, would a splice be better? I know all about splices!
Splice the mainbrace! (Hic...)

 

[pirate]

That copper pipe on the right...did the plumber come along afterwards, or was the board cunningly slid behind it just a bit?

 

[pirate]

That grey connector, top centre, what kind is that? Looks like a lighting connector?
Still, if it joins some wires together...

Think that’s a mini Wago seen from the back.

What a mess

Optical illusion I think, it looks burnt out until you zoom in, then it's actually just down to the like everything else in the board, a blooming mess.

 

[gnuuser]

What a mess

I agree! hell to sort out without any labeling,
good luck on it!

Nice upselling there but I don’t think saying it needs testing just because it is untidy is correct.

Pretty standard to come actoss DBs like this. Especially ones that were fitted some time ago.

Half a day’s work sorting that out.
