Is testing in insulation resistance for short circuit correct I tested at neutral and earth got no reading at every other reading I got <999 is this the correct way to fault find for short circuit ?

Hi mate imvinca similar position i would like to set up a protest at the city and guild head office to stop this scam, would u be interesting in joining?

quality

Thanks its really simplified work form i have enjoyed it

i really rate these boards. the cover fits on so easily which pay for its self in my book

Good video, Adrian.

Adrian thank you so much again. i am watching all of your videos and i can clearly say that you are the best

I have had the exact same. This is shocking. City and Guilds and government should sort this out and we should compensated

very informative knowlegeful video, i come acroos some people who take money and offer you JIB Gold card , did some have know about that..?

1.26.30 maths = 0.1 Ohms not 0.01 Ohms. Thank you in any case for you vid!

Passed everything but the fault finding part which I found the easiest out the lot so don’t be complacent. I didn’t use the correct terminology but after two days of having to do the am2 while I had food poisoning and a migraine I was just happy I only failed one part. I’m not nervous about doing the resit I’m weirdly looking forward to it as I’m game now

Thanks, brother, for this great explanation.

Why do you use ring circuits so much in Britain? Is it worth it to use thinner wires? In my opinion rings are very dangerous becouse you never spot a fault right away. Appliances keep working until some wiring somewhere melts down. You are then at risk of a fire or an electric shock, any of these can kill you. In the Czech Republic (and all the mainland EU) we use only radial circuits, 1,5mm2 wire for lights and 2,5mm2 for 230V 16A sockets. By the way, your way of explaining things is brilliant!

Experience over anything. Highly recommend your 2391-52 to really expand your knowledge. I was taught some bad habits before doing this course and teaches you how to inspect and test properly ! Never stop learning

Your explanation is brilliant my friend . Thankyou so , so much

Well done, learning the formulas makes sense, then it doesn't matter what is in the question. Great idea Adrian!

Best teacher ever!💯🙏

I in the same boat, and have testing and 18th edition

I’m in the same boat , started back in early 2000s at 38 , I was lucky I got a spark to give me a start on his firm , I went and done my part p and 16th , I was with him for 12 years , that’s experience you can’t get at collage , I’m now trying to reg with napit or Nic , but can’t , I’ve not been in the industry for over 20years , but not sure now what to do , a lot of people like me will be lost to the industry with a lot of experience , I think a lot of these body’s just want paper work , even when you have an assessment ( which I have with Nic , ) all they want to look at his all your paper work is in order , they don’t really wanna seen any of your work , like 1st fix of a job 2nd , should be more like the building control and have a look at your jobs at different stages and different types of jobs over the year , make them earn the money we pay them to be registered with them ( just a thought )

Great vid , by the way

Same boat as a lot of you guys , wanted to retrain in early 2000s in my late 30s at the time , got a start with an electrician , great man , he took a chance on me , I went to collage done my 16th ed , and then went on to do the part P course to be a domestic installer , I spent 12 years with that old spark and he taught me more than any collage did , I’ve been in the industry now for over 20 years , I now wanna register with Napit or Nic , but I can’t , cuz they now want an nvq level 3 , back in the day if you had your part p and the latest bs7671 you where a competent person , but now I’m not , so all the years of work experience counts for nothing , I know you need a standard , but it’s not all about certificates ,

Brilliant job well done. Loved listening to you lately on Fix radio

Excellent video.

Just a question regarding IR test on the ring circuit, How can i identify which leg from the board is supplying which half of the circuit? As both line conductors will be connected at the circuit breaker together.

Should have showed a 100A double pole isolator switch before tails went into the consumer unit in your diagrams it's the best practice so it's the wrong diagrams for the learners

Hi Adrian . I hope you doing well. I have been watching your UA-cam channel but unfortunately have never put any comments which is not fair. I would like to thank you for the time you invest for all the great videos . Your videos, it’s does help and make a difference to our life . I am truly appreciate it from bottom of my heart and grateful for all the hard work . I wish you all the best and happiness. THANK YOU .

Sir just come across your video, was going to do electrical installation level 1 at college but at 35 it too late

another great video thank you

You need make more videos and seriously you channel deserves better numbers . I can hobestly say the content is outstanding and the maths work you do i just get how you describe it a massive thank you

I wish this had been shown to me like this before, legend and it makes sense

Thank you for this excellent video I finally get it

i use fluke t6-1000 and it got banana plug also comes with crocodile clips and agree, it is a great feature

Excellent Vids. Appreciated. A good refresher for me.

I had a similar experience back in 2008. I did a training course over 2 weeks part P course and did the regs exam and then put myself forward for the testing and inspection. Passed all and thought I could be a spark. Only later did I find out I wasn't qualified fully. I then went back to college and did level 2 and level 3, luckily while doing level 3 I was told I had to do an ncq to be fully qualified, this was before the am2 was introduced. A lot of the guys did not do it and I imagine they found themselves on your situation down the line. I'm glad I did it back then. I'm now currently doing my 2396 and got a Merit in the exam. Hopefully I can put a decent portfolio together. I'm only doing it now as I have to show some sign of competency in signing off site designs for the company I work for.

Hi Adrian very detailed explanation.. I have 1 question hope you can answer when testing at the ceiling rose I presume you disconnect the cable when testing to avoid parallel paths.. can you please confirm.. or am I missing something here.. and what if the light socket only has only cable.. I presume the supply is at the light switch.. which I have found on many new builds

You're a legend! I've been practising what I learnt in the last videos and feeling really confident thanks to these lessons. I had been considering hiring a tutor to help me to understand transposition and in 2 days I've gone from feeling lost and dumb to feeling confident. I really can't thank you enough!

I'm so unbelievably stoked. You are an incredible teacher. Thank you so much

Thanks so much, I have been feeling so lost with transposition as an electrician apprentice and this was invaluable in helping me understand how to transpose equations. Will be practicing with what you've taught here, and then moving to the next video! ❤

Clear and concise! Great use of references! Thanks for sharing!

excellent video, I am having a problem with ring main. I watched this one and the one before, so I know where to start and how easier find the issue. many thanks ❤❤❤❤

At the begging of the video you said that without reading the GN3 there are remote chances of passing the testing and inspection and I am trying to understand how is exactly this working. I will have my AM2s soon . From what I understand if you know how to do the tests and the sequences of it you don't really need to follow the GN3 . Even if you need to follow it you go at page 33 and follow from there on. I am just trying to understand why is very important to read the GN3 prior to the AM2s . Thank you !

So sir what would you advise a adult coming into the trade? Want to do maintenance

It is Simple money maker nothing else

Hi Adrian Very interesting. I did the same route as you at the same sort of time whilst working in an Electronic not Electrical industry. i have certificates for Level 3 Certificate in Electrical Installtion theory and practice part 1 and part 2 and 2391 . I then went for job interviews in the Electrical industry and was told I was not qulaified as I did not have NVQ level 3 or the Experience . I worked for 9months for one of these companies and put myself through the NVQ level 3 paying for it myself. I was however fully aware the 2360 was not considerd enough in itself. I however never did AM2 as it was only deemed a requirement if following the Apprentice route. I have had several apprentices and they all have AM2 yet are no where near as expreienced as I am. I also now have an HNC in Electrical Engineering so definitely consider myself qualified. I have friends my age that did a 5 year apprenticeship that dont have AM2 as it didnt exist at the time and there is no way they would be considered not qualified. I believe this has all come about as NICEIC wont take on new QS's that dont have an AM2. this is to try and stop 'fast qualification course' people becoming QS's which in a larger organisation is an important supervisory roll monitoring other Electricians competences and advising them. I would say you are Fully Qualified by experience(journeyman route). I would also suggest doing an NVQ and AM2 with your experience is a waste of time and will gain you nothing - so why do it?. Just out of interest what are these modules you do not have? and I will check mine.

Brilliant video 👏🏻

I’m working as an engineer in a factory and I was told by the college that I needed to go down the Btec route. A Electrical and electronic engineering course back in 2005 ish. Roll forward 15 years when I turned up to do some atex training, and was told point blank that I wasn’t an electrician and I would struggle to get an electrician mate job 🙈🙈. As of now I do have 20 years industrial experience and my 18th edition, but I’m being made redundant at the end of the year. I’d like to start my own business. Should I? Am I able to charge? What if I make a mistake? I told the college I wanted to be an electrician🤬

Wish I saw this video last year. I'm 39 now did shit at school my maths is shocking. But I got a job onsite as a electrical labourer and the qualified sparks said I picked things up fast but because I've got no gcse's the college wouldn't enrol me. So I've paid for a course myself doing 2 weekends a month. I've done level 2 and got through the 18th now on level 3. I'm am drained of trying to figure out these formulas and calculations if I knew it was going to be this difficult I would have just carried on paint spraying but I'm now committed to it. I don't just want to get through it I want to understand and know what I'm doing for obvious reasons but just feel like the course is chucking mock after mock exams at me to get through to the next bit. Like you said tho nothing is wasted I've learn a tonne of maths some of which I've never even heard of but quite enjoy figuring stuff out. Hopefully it all ends well.

Well explanatory

Brilliant video, very helpful! Thank you Adrian!

Thank you for taking the time to record this, Adrian. Whilst I’m right at the beginning of my journey (midway through L2), I was able to follow and understand everything you covered here - awesome content 👏🏻
