  • Need to brush up on ring final circuit testing? This video is available to Trade Skills 4U students as a revision aid, however we thought we would make it available for all. This was created by one of our tutors hence why it's a little rough around the edges but still great content. Remember if you are not trained or experienced in electrical installation don't try to install at home or anywhere else for that matter.

    Listen up Sparks!
    This is the best explanation about this non-exciting, yet need to know test procedure that I’ve seen.
    This Gent explains it concisely and without waffling on, telling you how to do the test and what patterns in the results you should expect to see, and further more why this is the case.
    You are not going to get it explained to you any better than this ...good work fella!
    Wagos are the future, and a very handy addition to your test kit, don’t know why people use the old choc-blocks anymore? Little tip, the newer clear sort with the Brite Orange flat tabs are almost half the size, and unlike the ones used in this vid they can take both a solid and a stranded 4mm.

    Why can't all teachers be like this. Easy to understand and great at explaining the purpose of what he is testing. Great work, hopefully you do more videos on testing.

    @Rosscoff2000 5 років тому +1

    That was a useful summary and very clear, but you didn't look at all at the really interesting entry key case of a cross connection on the ring which you showed on the first diagram. I can see that a cross connection could give some puzzling results during testing and make it impossible to reduce the normal numbers, but I've always struggled to see why it might be any kind of safety problem in normal use of the circuit, in fact it seems to me it should improve the performance of a ring.

    I am not an electrician, but I would have expected wires to be be correctly connected and checked physically and visually. With good workmanship all this fancy testing should just be an extra. I suppose there are plenty of cowboys about. If there is wrong polarity in a ring I would have thought it would trip or fuse or worse, so you would already know there was a major problem. I still refer to wires as live or positive, negative or neutral.and earth or ground. I like to understand what’s going on when I engage a tradesman, so for me it’s an excellent video.

    Does it necessarily follow that, after the installation of a new Consumer Unit, there must follow a whole-house electrical safety check that is similar in extent and scope of any ordinarily ordered domestic electrical safety check? I really don't know this subject and I'm asking it from an angle of don't-know-anything about the Trade, at all, so be gentle with me, if you would.

    Hello! Tell me please; is that type of a circuit, so called "socket ring circuit" you have in each house in U. K. ?? Very interesting (?) what is the reason for that type of wiring the socket’s in the ring??
    Can you tell me please (?) why you do that for??????
    What is that ring good for???
    How it is working???
    Can you please answer in the video (?) so I can get to the point of it, please???!!!!

    At exactly 5.12 sec you say on 2.5mm / 1.5mm T& E the reading should be 1.67 times higher due to the smaller cpc cable. However, On my house the reading is only 0.2 higher. IE. L1-L2 is 0.22 N1 - N2 is 0.22 E1 -E2 is 0.24 My Question is what does this small cpc reading show? The circuit operates ok. But id like to know what it tells us? Also on the cross connection test (L1-N2 & L2 - N1) the reading should be HALF the L1 L2 reading but on mine its the same 0.22. what does this mean.?

    Wow! I'm a licensed electrical contractor here in the U.S., and running a "ring" circuit is not only illegal here, but also makes no economical rational sense because you're unnecessarily consuming extra cable by having two home runs instead of one for the same circuit. It's also illegal to have more than one conductor in each terminal here in the U.S.
    The other thing that's different, it's illegal here in the U.S. to use the use devices such as receptacles as spicing devices, we have to use pigtails as circuit taps for all devices so the circuit is never interrupted (especially ground) by a defective device, or by the removal of the device.
    Seems like there's no benefit in doing the extra expense of a second home run, especially since it makes trouble shooting much more complicated by creating two power sources in the same circuit?
    Your load center designs are very different from ours here in the U.S. , we have much more room to organize our wiring within the panel, and our bus bars are in the middle of the panel with circuit breakers snapping on both sides.
