What's wrong here then?

I started a PIR today in an office where they write computer software. There are a few other issues but I thought that I'd post this picture for people to ponder.



So forgive me being vague, it's intentional0

Toasty warm!...handy on these chilly Spring evenings... :coat

No, that's just the camera angle I'm afraid

No cross bonding to metal back box & the cpc is too long almost touching

Not fly lead,,,

not earth too long

The double socket outlet only has one earth terminal ? :slap

That's how it's made:O

Yes, you could pm me though

Is it wired reverse polarity, I must say it does look burnt out

Hi intergrity earthing? Allthough I would say a C3

Is it the sleeving, I recon theres 71% yellow to 29% green. code 1 rewire.

not needed if we have one fixed screw, although i think it bad practise, ill go with reverse polarity

I only said that as most of the sockets I use are the other way round I think.

Actually looking at it now I think most sockets are that way round although obviously they have twin earth's these days.

I'll go with, socket hanging off the wall, single insulated cables on show, not to IP2x, socket not fixed correctly

And Sellers has it apart from others who knew and only aluded to it

Yes, there's no High Integrity Earthing anywhere in the property,,,, even in the server room

I still think its fly lead cpc, the left screw is not tight so could cause tearing of insulation and the grey sheathing looks taken back a bit too much. Also the cpc wire is longer whilst not being a problem it's bad practise????

Backbox earth ?PC's presumably ? So.......
