- How to fit a circuit breaker onto a busbar with Luke Wichard of UA-cam channel My Trusted Electrician. This video is part of the masterclass Luke put on for our learners on how to connect a 10 way split load consumers unit. In this video he shows the issues that can be caused by the incorrect fitting of a consumers unit busbar. He highlights how the circuit breaker can be installed but is not connected to the busbar and how to correct his. We would like to thank Luke for his time and both staff and learners greatly enjoyed the experience.
Videos are training aids for City and Guilds (C and G) and EAL courses Level 1, 2, 3 plus AM2 and AM2S.

I follow both your channels and learn a lot. I'm retired now but if I had to do it all again I'd be an electrician. Looking round your students they look as miserable as sin! Don't they realise how lucky they are to have an apprenticeship. Cheer them up Gaz!
Hi. In the defence of my learners they didn’t make a sound for an hour and a half. I think young people’s resting faces are one of disinterest but this was not the case. Thanks for watching and commenting Gaz 👍
Brilliant, really enjoy Luke's channel, good to see him involved 👍
Thanks for the support Luke was fantastic with the learners 👍
Insert bus bar, tighten 1st screw, busbar shouldn't drop out, loosen the screw then do same again with all other screws. A fool proof way of checking that all screws have clamped the bus bar in place.
That all looks very blokey. Where are all the ladies ? Do women not want to be electricians ?
Who's that handsome devil in the purple top 😉
You mean the blue top????
@@GSHElectrical think you need to adjust the colour setting on your laptop mate 😉
Good to see you getting in with the new recruits. I had a job the other day where the lighting circuit was barely touching the bus bar and just stopped working. Nearly every other connection on the DB and a unit in the outbidding wasn’t torqued down properly, along with half of the sockets. The EFLI was crap even for an old TNS supply.
Ha, ha. Great video guys.
These vids have proved invaluable to someone like me that is relatively new to the industry. Love that you're willing to share the insight you have accrued with your experience. Grateful. 👍🏼
@M0JGX an electrician is like an onion...
love the Maccies 101 Unit.
Please please please loose the music, I'm here for information, no need for the music.
The real lesson here was learning to eat a hash brown mcmuffin. Life changing
That’s why I was gutted the sound failed. What a great guy Luke is 👍Gaz
I tried this once after watching MTEs video but I didn't really like the texture, I prefer the hash brown as a side filler 😂 I agree with Tom Nagy about mc Dz coffee too.. More caffeine than a mug of nescafe.. Pmsl ☕😁
I will have to remember this in case I end up messing it up as well. 😆
Holding the release tap down, and pushing up on circuit breaker should confirm a hit or miss
I use a dentist mirror meself to check the connections are on the correct side of the buzz bar.
Great idea 👍
Low resistance Ohms test solves this issue. It's carried out on ACBs so why not incorporate in to Domestic etc. Verification of connections.
if you cant tell its not installed correctly by the angle of the bus bar then you need to swap you need to join the class and learn how to do an install!
I have been to a few CUs with busbar missing the clamps, like you said the higher the load, the bigger the arcing, and melting I have had to replace 4 mcbs and an RCD because the board melted luckily the T&E coming out the top were OK so straight swap. I religiously check everytime I remove covers off CUs. Loose termination on ins and outs of mcbs and RCDs is my pet hate.. Always double check. A fire was almost started by a couple I have seen.
Thanks for taking the time to give such a detailed comment Gaz 👍👍👍
what you need is a bus bar to hold your burger together
Great helpful tips, and can see from that how sometimes you find MCB's with heat damage in a consumer units
The bit at the end is what real tradesmen are about only your missing your large mug of tea. 🤣🤣🤣
Feel like you guys need to go over this again... With close up footage. I've put mine in on a dual unit and it doesn't align properly for me to put the cover.. I have wylex breakers 16amp and crab tree for my lights
Thanks
Absolutely brilliant videos, I am going back to the start to watch all videos, it comes out in the videos how much you love your job and how much you care for your students. Keep it up and here's to much more.
Thanks for the lovely comment.... We have a couple more videos from Luke coming out over the coming weeks 👍. Keep watching and commenting Gaz

Lesson in Burger and Hash Master Craft. Awesome. CU got the better of you did it.
