One day I noticed one of the larger load fuses was joined with 1mm wire lol I asked why, knowing this was seriously not right and he said it kept blowing with normal fuse wire Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chartpolski 20,227 Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) I've seen installations abroad, where three core black cable was pulled through and colour coded at connection. Nothing wrong with that as long as it's done correctly. Cheers. Edited January 29, 2022 by chartpolski Quote Link to post Share on other sites
