1-3

1. Work without a project — rework and overpayments. 2. Wrong cable cross-section — heating and fire risk. 3. No RCD on socket groups — danger to life.

4-6

4. PEN splitting without re-grounding — dangerous. 5. One breaker for many groups — no selectivity. 6. No spare modules in the panel.

7-9

7. No labels — maintenance is impossible. 8. Sockets in bathroom zone 1. 9. No test protocol — no guarantee.

10. No scheme in the panel

The scheme with groups and RCDs hangs in the panel — the electrician finds everything instantly.
