Worst Consumer Unit Pictures Thread!

[Dan]

Heard about one CU being wallpapered. Wondered what the worst you've seen is, and pictures win prizes.

The one on the left had two wylex fuses hanging in there without the ceramic fuseholder. Thats (on the left) an MEM C/U. And an earth from the MEM in 2.5 T&E!

Found in a wood mill extraction chamber, most of the sawdust fell out when cover was removed.

Sawdust can create an explosive environment! Could have been quite a blast if there ever was a bad connection and the conditions were right.

Not at those levels of compaction!

Westward, I hope you've tendered your multi million pound particulate extraction solution?

Is yours tiled over?

Looks like the CU in a Heroine processing plant! What a picture. What IP rating was that again?

Couldn't even tell you where mine is pal I get the butler and / or pa to sort out anything messy while I have a swim in my pool.

It always amazes me when I've been to a customer's house and ask them where the water stop tap is and/or the fuse board and they look at me with a vacant stare,clueless.

Before I took the cover off it was compacted. Was doing an EICR and took ages to find it, maintenance had no idea it was there. If they did any works on the circuits from it they used to knock off its 63A supply breaker. The extraction chamber had been built around it and is probably still the same. No chance of an explosion in there I doubt it contained much oxygen.

On a PI once in Sheffield, after an hour or so of looking around, I found the old 4 way Wylex behind an obscure panel half way up the stairs, Don't bother asking where the meter was ...

Where was the meter?

 

[mache]

At least it was a non combustible enclosure even if the contents wasn't !!!!

What, like Joan of Arc? How would you process her?

 

[Rpa07]

Carefully! And with fire retardant gloves!
