A big mistake and a small one, do not shorten the earthing, it must be the last conductor that break away and do not twist the wires before inserting the pins or other tipe of conections.
Yupe thank you for your reminder! I realized the earth should not be shortened. I will pin your message up.
@@k-30creator20 shortening the earth so it breaks first, wrong size ferule on earth, wrong screwdriver used to tighten terminals, twisting the conductors so they break when crimped, should strip with correct stripping tool for cable size to avoid damaging insulation and conductors, not heat-shrinking the ferrule sleeves, and stripping the conductors before insertion through strain relief so conductors get damaged. you should probably re-film this in case people don't read the comments!
Thanks, mate. I got 1 2nd hand and didn't know how it opened
Nice video. Keep it up Buddy!
I like your selection of tools!
Same ahaha :) Thanks for the appreciation!!
Thanks buddy !
very useful! ive bought a second hand commercial coffee machine for my home, it used to be hard wired in. would fitting a plug like this then a 16amp convertor work to power my machine? :)
Worth checking the wattage or amperage of your coffee machine first and then decide which kind of plug u need to use! Good Luck !!
Quick tip: Current (A) = Power (W) / Voltage (V)
@@k-30creator20 have just bought a 240v connector and plug :/ just noticed the coffee machine runs on 230v. Will it not work at all?
Yes, these plugs and socket are rated for voltage in between 220-240V.
Hi can i terminate the other end in a power strip for 13A UK plugs?
No! Only connect a 13amp plug to a 16amp socket! Or a 16amp plug to a 13amp socket.
It’s is a 13amp plug in the video. You would NOT want a 13amp plug to a 16amp plug.
@joshuantw I see that OP had misinterpreted your question.
Yes, you can connect a
CEE 16A Plug to a row of
13A Socket(s)/Moulded Power Strips.
That plug is made by PCE and they only use Phillips screws. No. 2 to be more precise...
And for the double screw of the earth connection you should use a 12mm ferrule.
Would it be possible if you could explain a bit further about the 12mm ferrule ? It’s a 1.5mm cable that I have used, have I missed something important ?
@@k-30creator20 one thing. Ground terminal has 2 screws, therefore the ferrule and isolation clearance should be a notch longer in order to reach both of these screws. That’s why you should use 12mm ferrule on ground.
Secondly, according to IEC guidelines, you should also heatshrink the sleeve of the ferrule around the cable to make it resistant to slipping off in any situation. Otherwise when the cable is used badly and put under strain, and your ground slips out, somebody will get killed and gear destroyed. Probability of that you want to reduce as close to zero as absolutely possible. Other than that was all good anyway, just two little additional details :)
That make a lot of sense, thank you for mentioning! Really Appreciated! Will remember that from now on!
No worries :) keep up the good work and thanks for posting this video, many will find it very useful
Thank you for such a kind and positive comment! We need more people like you around the community! and again thank you for widening my knowledge, it was extremely helpful!
where did
you buy red cable?

Do they make these plugs in 30A?
16A, 32A, 63A, they do go even bigger but it's usually better to add a phase beyond that e.g. 63A 3 phase.
how much mm wire to use?
1.5mm2, however I do recommend using 2.5mm2 as they tend to be more rigid and can increase the safety factor.
Never trim the earth shorter than the rest of the wires, it should be the longest and last to pull out in case of cable restraint failure.
Wouldn't be so bad if you actually showed wich wire went where rather than your hand cover it
Check out the latest video, should be much better, pretty much the same principle. Brown or Red to Live, Blue or Black to Neutral, YellowGreen to Earth. Hope this help, sorry for any inconvenience
@@k-30creator20 that's still not useful.you are making assumptions that all sockets come with the diagrams next to each pin 🤦♂️
Clearly not competent enough to be carrying out this if asking these questions. Simple.
@@Fraz-ms6ow are you serious months down the line you want to put a comment on question is if your competent to be doing it 🤔
Better late than never.
The one thing I wanted to know was where the leads go. Ffs!
Its just a demonstration :) It goes where you want to ~ but definitely not another plug :)
Bit amateurish, suppose he only sounds about 17 anyway!
Hopefully, my other videos are more useful, please do check them out. Let me know if anything can be improved. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
Ignore Graham he only works in Aldi…
@@oakashthorn5714 that's derogatory to all Aldi store worker's
Genuially got socks older than this kid. Buy proper stripping tools. Why are you wearing gloves? So many mistakes and so many questions....
There is always room for improvement, please do let me know the mistakes that I have made. Always up for questions :) and Gloves are just great :) Have a fabulous day !
There is nothing wrong with using gloves if you like to do so.
If you don't have proper strippers, you work with what you have. Besides, you should see the amount of electricians who use knives, pliers or other means. The important thing is whether you can get the job done and without damaging the strands. With practice sharp pliers can get the job done better then strippers used by a rookie... And don't kid yourself into thinking those automatic ones are the best either 😆😆. Just be careful and look out for damage as the guy clearly said in the video...
You work with what you have.
Also, there is no need to be rude, like who cares if you're old, "got socks older than this kid". Doesn't make you any better, you obviously aren't a pro considering you're 1. Watching this video, and 2. Like to push others down just because you feel superior.
"So many mistakes so many questions" Your attitude, it's unbecoming, do better. And be specific about all your "so many questions". How else is he to answer them.
