FCUs don't even match. One front entry and the other bottom.

Sounds a bit like a few films someone told me about.

Yeehaw Ride em home, cowboy.

Now this takes thinking outside the box to a whole new level of special kind of stupid.

 

[BenCos18]

Yeah I think your right. I thought this looked iffy too:

Yep those wires definitely aren't attached to the insulators right
They should run in the groove on the top not be attached at the side

That is far more difficult than fitting the correct breaker

You’ve gotta hand it to them though. They didn’t take the path of least resistance.

Defiantly wrong using mixed manufactures

shouldnt matter, as technically its not INSTALLED IN another manufacturers board..... Its not IN any board!

I'll tipex out the c3 then

Called out to a boiler not working and keeps shutting off. Plumber blamed the boiler, Manufacturer sent an engineer who said it’s wired wrongly. Plumber said his spark has wired it properly and the property has obviously got dodgy wiring.

I’ll let you draw your own conclusions and yes. That is a 3pole fan isolator.

It's normal to fit a 3 pole isolator next to the boiler if the switchfuse is remote from the boiler, this satisfies manufacturers and gas-safe requirements for a local isolator to the boiler.
Obviously it needs to be 3 pole in order to isolate live, neutral and switched live.

I would have used a TP isolator as well, but would have fitted it on a PVC surface box, fitted with a 20mm gland for strain relief of the flex.
Is there something a bit dubious where the flex connects to the boiler PCB?

That’s the point, it isn’t. The grey T&E coming down the wall is direct from the CU.

No FCU?

No FCU?

Nope, straight into a 6a MCB.

If you follow the black wire from the flex which is in terminal RT. That leads back to the centre common on the 3 pole switch.

The only cable connected on the outgoing 3C&E is the brown into Common L1

The L & N on the T&E are connected to L2 and Common N.

I might be mistaken as I’ve not seen a new boiler like this round my way. Most are old style S-Plan systems from oil boilers. But I’m not sure how that is ever going to supply the right signal from the controller.

See this often on extractor fans, even though the manufacturer's instructions specify a 3A fuse.

Shouldn't the wires be pushed into the holes on the left of the block?

Funny you should say that….

No that's the screw terminals access.

 

[brianmoooore]

No that's the screw terminals access.

Ah! Thought it looked like maintenance free type push in terminals, and they'd jammed the wires down where you push a small screwdriver to release a wire.
