[QUOTE="TC101, post: 72548, member: 3644"] I was working for an electrical contractor about a year ago and I did a job in a lady's house which consisted of a few kitchen light an a CU change. The Cu change was quite straight forward except that all the earth connections were about 3 inches long and too short to reach the earth bar which was on the other side of the CU. I joined each earth individually with a connector strip added proper sleaving and they all tucked neatly at the top end of the CU behind the other cables and to me it all looked quit neat and proper. Then the boss came along and said that it was not correct because to join the earths I would have to crimp them. I disputed this because the connector strips constituted a bolted connection and as they where inside the CU it required a tool to gain access to them. The boss insisted so to get access I had to strip the whole board down again and when I had finished it looked a mess compaired to the original. I would appreciate any comments. [/QUOTE]
