No, I am training to be an electrician and want to get an idea of what the installs looked like

Can't claim the credit for this one, sent to me by the bro-in-law working for the foreign office...

Love the 2.5 being used as replacement fuses, UK foreign office building in Nigeria. It was live when the picture was taken.....

it's amazing the state of some of these old DB's in various basements and factories..

there should be mandatory updating every 20 years or so..

No I thought you might be he; as the OP had ask for pics of peoples own installs

Thanks for your pics so far guys. If anyone has any commercial or industrial ones please do show. I want to see how you guys arrange your cables and trunk them out of the DB

I would have thought that what all the pics that have been posted are. Although some people (like me) have 3-phase supplies to a residential property, the phases are then almost invariably split and then dealt with as single-phase - I find it hard to believe that (m)any even half-ordinary 'dwellings' will have 3-phase DBs.

Kind Regards, John.
