Recently we were asked to attend this farm which had been suffering with the main trip operating.π Chris and Tom went and quickly diagnosed a fault in the cow shed π where water had got into one of the light fittings. πThis was quickly repaired.π
This shed was wired originally in probably the 1970's in Mineral Insulated (Pyro) cable. πWhoever did it, made a good job of it, and it is great to still see it in service today.
The customer was happy for us then to bring the installation up to date by installing a new consumer unit with surge protection and RCBO's. This means if there is a fault in the future, they won't loose the whole shed, and they won't have to walk back to the farm house to turn it back on again!π
After a thorough test and checking the insulation resistance, Chris and Tom did a great job of fitting a new consumer unit without disturbing the original MI glands and pots.ππͺ
