That baton trick is brilliant! I've got a real bodge to fix, replace a double metal patress box with 2 1-way light switches in a pilaster lath wall with a 2-way light switch, the laths have been cut from the middle of the pilaster to the door architrave with the patress box flush with the door architrave!!

Is this the new standard in all builds in the UK?

9:40 both your thermostats are labelled 'heating'. The one on the left should be 'hot water'.

Great video, thanks. I came across one of these about 18 months ago on a PVS 3-phase grid-tie system that my friend asked to look at because it had the symptoms of an inverter with a weird internal fault because it was producing an error code. The inverter is clever and it auto phase balances the currents so no abnormal current flows in N or Pc and everything great. Super weird head scratcher until the sun started to go down and shit! did I get a shock and the inverter error coded gain. After that it all became quickly obvious. Stupidly, neither of us had thought to start the diagnostics by looking up the overhead wires that passed through a giant tree swaying in the wind! Whoops!

Appreciated 🙏👍

Fantastic.... Should be part of a curriculum for heating engineers. Saved for when I install a Nest in the near future. Many thanks 🙏

Amazing! God bless you sir

Wow as someone that is still learning, those blow my mind lol. Why not something that is simple and straight forward?

Thank you! I was trying to FIGURE IT OUT MYSELF! MUST LIKE A CHALLENGE or doing things the HARDEST WAY… lol. Found your video and now I’m NOT COLD!! 🥶 Heatings coming BACK ON, so again, THANKS!!

audio not clear cant understand

Are you using a carbide blade in your multi-tool?

This is a superb video which covers all aspects and no bodging. Very thorough. Thanks for posting this! 👍👍👍

Great video. I genuinely enjoyed learning this! TYVM for teh help :)

Great Video!! My external PIR light has 3 connectors for input i.e. Live, Earth and Neutral. The wires coming out from the switch is 4 core - Brown(Live), Earth(Green&yellow), Neutral(Grey with blue sleeve) and Switched Live(Black with brown sleeve). From the switch do i connect to light connector as follows SL(Black with Brown Sleeve) to Live connector, Earth(Green/Yellow) to E and Neutral(Grey with Blue Sleeve) to N. Where do i connect the brown live wire from switch as there is no connector for it on the light. The instruction on the light run with PIR and manual override feature. Thanks.

Great video, presumably I can replace my single outside light with a daisy chain of LED soffit lights?

Thanks for the tutorial. Very informative and nice illustrations

Very good video on diverted currents. Only seen it once customer saying pipe has burst and rads are hot but heating is off ! When I got there the plastic main water pipe had come away at the fitting due to the heat generated by the diverted current. The fault was externally where a conversion was made to PME. Quite baffling and very dangerous if you don't have your thinking cap on !

Awesome Video , well done !

Great explanation… simple English, thanks pal👍🏻

Thank you very informative, answered my problem straight away with my dimmer. Thanks

Great instructional video. Finally a video from the perspective of the DIYer. Especially useful when the wires aren't marked up, a I found. Thanks.

Really good tutorials .. May I ask what software you used to produce these lovely diagrams ?

I NEEDED THIS. I've had a few electricians come to give quotes for installing some new outlets light boxes. One guy was saying he would need to rip up the "drywall" from the floor to the outlet place, etc. Absolutely not. I don't think he took what I said seriously(am a woman) about the plaster of paris walls and had me doubting myself. Thank you for giving me confidence in my knowledge and feeling like I could get my hands in there and do it ❤

Beautiful explanation. Reminds me of K.I.S.S. technique from software engineering days. Thank you. That has cleared a couple of things for me.

❤

Great video well explained

This is the clearest, most helpful video I have seen. In the only video that is remotely helpful - and I have looked long and hard. You have a gift, sir. Thank you. The plumbing in my house is very "unusual" and I have had many "engineers" work on it over the years. NONE of them have the remotest idea how to do this stuff. The expect every installation they come across to be identical to what they were taught. They simply don't understand what all the individual components do. Of course they know infinitely more than I do about the boiler and all the text book stuff, but no clue about how to analyse an arrangement where the orange wire is not where it is supposed to be, where the pipes come from a different outlet or go to a circuit not per the text book. The standard answer is to rip the whole thing out, take up the floors, open up the walls and start from scratch. Or just to replace each component in turn in the hope that it will magically solve all the problems. And yet we have had a system that works as it is supposed to and has done so for over 40 years. Until one of these "professionals" changed something a couple of years ago making it unworkable. We can have hot water, OR heating, OR we can have the towel rails heat, but none of them at the same time. Your video has armed me with the knowledge to put it all to rights myself. Fortunately I am an Electrical Engineer and getting to the bottom of the electrical circuits in the boiler itself, the programmer, the thermostats installed, our Nest, and the 3-port value has helped, but your video has answered some of the outstanding confusion I had. Thank you so much.

Brilliant. Thanks

thank you very well explained

Fantastic video, even after 5 years this is still helping people out. Great instructions, easy to follow. New subscriber, thanks for helping us DIYers out 👍

Great and concise compared to my lectures just subscribed

Im early 50s just started my electrical training with the 2357 L3, this is really useful, thank you.

Very good video. Isn't the time it takes an inverter to shutdown specified in the type approval? I mean we're basically saying this is only an issue if the inverter fails to shutdown within a certain time right?

Hi, Thank you for this video, which is really clear and has solved my problem of being able to finding continuity. However, on the three room circuit I blew (before seeing your video) only two rooms now show continuity, the room I actually blew doesn't. Does this mean the room I blew needs rewiring, and do the two rooms showing continuity still fully function, despite showing contiuity? Thanks

Very good explanations and teaching

Our new megger reads in Gohms. Don't we just need the reading in Mohms ? So why does it read in Gohms ?

Great video, I understand most electrics but ceiling rose wiring has puzzled me. Seems far more simpler now.

Great explanation. No doubt this will help many people. Whenever I change a fitting I try and use a piece of brown heat shrink sleeve to indicate the switch live. That way it stays in place and doesn’t fall off when you disconnect all the wires. I’m not an electrician (just a DIY’er) but I have changed a few fittings over the years

3:07 I have seen that happen. A screw through a floor board was too long and went all the way into a wire bundle. Failed the megger check. We had to start pulling floor boards up and go hand over hand until we found the problem.

Question: When a voltage is not specified for the megger check, and the 115 vac wires are rated at 600 volts......which voltage should be set on the megger? I always assumed that 500 volts should be used since 1,000 volts is beyond the wire's rating. Is that logical?

Another safety tip.......first.... follow published procedures. But also totally remove power from a circuit before touching it. Unplug the power cord or power supply ! Unplugging the power is the only real way to make sure the circuit is safe. Plus be aware that some systems have battery power also, with a hot battery bus. In some cases you must disconnect the battery as well as unplugging the power cord.

Very well explained and illustrated. A great video.

I just wanna say your style of presenting and teaching is just so good. That part about watching your device's resolution and being careful not to misread or misinterpret what your values are is such a common mistake and I'm glad you pointed it out.

And the IT-system?

fantastic explanation

This helped me solve the rats nest that was the wiring for the fan in my house. Thank you

Have replaced the dimmer switch as ceiling light kept going dim then stays dim& flickers , but even after fitting new switch and a new light fitting , it’s still doing the same. It’s the only light in the house that does this.. why???🤔

I tested a single phase hvac pump at 15 mega ohms to ground on each leg. A short circuit was present but could not varify with meter. I also tested legs between each other and the ohms tested correct against factory spec. When you smacked the housing with a rubber mallet the short stopped. I still dont understand why i could not see the short to ground with meter when it was clearly shorted to ground.

Very useful thanks alot
