    I once told a client his electrics were dangerous because he had no earth bond to his water…he disagreed and said, him having to parachute into France, on D-day worried him more 😂😂😂

    • @QUIX-KIWI
      @QUIX-KIWI 8 місяців тому

      But it's true sometimes, what with plastic pipework, having a bonded pipe at the cylinder when the cylinder itself is bonded, doesn't make any logical sence, to co-bond the metal piping connected by metal piping to the cylinder, when the water system to the client's end of pipe taps are all done in plastic pipes.
      See maybe his parachute hung up in a tree - which as far as I am concerned would have scared him more (but he survived the war - so he will probably survive the non-bonded pipework.

    The Cheeky Girls are now both working in car dealerships in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, in case you were wondering.
    The pair, who are actually called Monica Taylor and Gabriela Irimia are twin sisters who shot to fame in the early 2000s on Popstars: The Rivals.
    Despite being described by judge Pete Waterman as 'the worst act I've ever seen' they became inexplicably popular, even achieving two top ten singles.
    One of those was called 'Cheeky Song (Touch My Bum)', which - for the uninitiated - gives you a decent flavour of what they were like.

    Absolutely love your attention to detail while doing testing, 90% of sparks have no interest and couldn't be bothered testing properly!

    • @QUIX-KIWI
      @QUIX-KIWI 8 місяців тому

      Worse, 50% of Sparkies should NEVER do self certification as, it they created the problem the first time around when doing the initial installation work, then when they do the testing, (later) they will NOT be able to find any problem, knowing they did it their way (thinking it to be the correct way) the first time around.
      Sadly, here in New Zealand, several years ago, Electrical Inspectors were bypassed in regs changes - so that electricians on the jobs could self-certify their own work (to avoid delaying the client's sign off on getting the property livened, or re-livened) and now, I spotted in more recent regs changes, that all work done that is to be certified by an electrician can ONLY be their own work that they then self-certify, being that they cannot certify anyone else's work, if they didn't directly supervise that person's work - at the time.
      Which to me, begs the question, how many jobs are installed incorrectly, to be certified as tested correctly, by the people who installed the installation incorrectly?
      And how many DIY clients (after having done a far better job than some electricians) who ask their electrician to check the DIY work they did, to get it certified, can't - when the electrician is NOT allowed to certify any work they didn't directly oversight when it was done?
      Yet - it's true even in the UK, as Jordon even said as much in a recent video, that he can't certify a client's DIY as he didn't supervise the person doing the work.
      at the time.
      Oh sure, it speeds up the client's end-use sign-off time, if the installing electrician can at the end of the install, inspect and sign-off the installation (as if they were the inspector of old) to allow the lines company to re-liven the property, from the replacing of the incoming pole fuses, but does it really give a reliable certification standard.?

    Cory should learn a trick!!! You can test that garage rcd with upstream rcd safely, by connecting your MFT to the neutral and line outputs of the Garage RCD as normal, but connecting the ''earth'' probe to the incoming-neutral connection. I worked this out myself and then John Ward pointed this out in an RCD-testing video as well.
    In this way, the line-"earth" test-current will travel back through upstream rcd (via neutral) fine, guaranteed to stay in balance there, but this RCD can still be tested without risk of upstream-tripping.
    This will not, however, tell you that the Earth is correctly connected from house MET to the Garage board (but theres' plenty of ways of checking that with flying-leads or whatever).

    Saw this at my late father in law's kitchen upgrade. He called me in as he was concerned over what he saw. What I saw was a disaster of electrical bodging. All old sockets had been extended via 15a connector blocks buried in the walls. The ring main had been split. Lighting was full of connector blocks ready to be plastered over. I left my report and they got a professional electrician in. Was all rewired back to the consumer unit properly avoiding all these bodged joints.

    I’m a retired plumber and have always re-connected any earth wires I have had to disconnect. Remember reading in one of our trade mags where a plumber was given a prison sentence for not re-connecting an earth wire to a metal sink top and the customer died as a result of an electric shock from the sink. It always pays to get professional advice from the relevant people.

    • @Marco-mg9tv
      @Marco-mg9tv 2 роки тому

      Really ? He did the right thing disconnecting it - A metal sink is a not an extraneous conductive part. Should never have been bonded in the first place. And how could anyone receive a shock from a non bonded sink ? If was because the water pipes somehow became live and made the sink live then the fault would have been lack of bonding on the water supply. Smacks of an apocryphal story to me .

    I have a Metrel tester (3125BT, not as fancy as yours!) and it gets through the first 3/4 of the battery in no time, but the last quarter lasts for ages.
    I *think* it might be that the battery gauge isn't set up for rechargeable batteries.
    It's difficult to describe as a good battery life, but I can get a couple of days out of it.
    Compared to my Seaward solar tester which I do a lot more testing with, that's run on the same set of AA batteries for over a year now and no sign of the low battery warning yet.
    Edit: oh, and the remote, what were they thinking?!
    I do like the test leads and various other bits about it.

      I swapped my Metrel to AA alkalines pretty soon, they last reasonably long. Funny story behind the reason for the swap... I couldn't find the charger for months, until I found it - in the carrying case, just in a different compartment. By the time I found the charger again I'd lost one of the six NiMHs and decided to stick with alkalines.

    Bonding,,,, yes well, I am retired but I still do that very boring job of PAT (Testing). In a Chip Shop Kitchen, I came across a 4 way extension cleverly lifted off the metal shelving to stop it getting wet.
    Great job on someone's part. However, on close inspection (outside of the remit on Pat (Testing), I spotted a Bonding cable had come adrift of its clamp and was hanging. This bonding joined Two prep area tables (stainless Steel). I informed the very friendly Manager who took a picture of it to report it to maintenance to fix.
    There is a very small chance that I may have saved someone from shock in the workplace.
    in addition, I was testing the appliances in a caravan, I tried to unplug the Kettle, but the plug was stuck in the socket, due to it not being plugged in properly, so the plastic on the pin and possibly the socket had melted. I failed the Kettle and made a reccommendation the owner replace the now faulty socket as well as the Kettle. I received a complaint that I was not supposed to be testing the sockets....!!

    As others have commented, the cooking load is no more than an old-fashioned stand-alone cooker, which, with diversity, is perfectly acceptable on a 32A breaker.
    Where there is a consumer unit on the end of a 13A fused spur, it is pointless, as there is no discrimination.

    Always enjoy watching Cory, cracking engineer and his outlook is exactly the same as everyone of our engineers. A credit to the industry and Artisan.
    This must have been filmed just before the Daily Mail this week stated they're both working for Hyundai in York, not sure if they're singing to sell the cars though.

Not to mention the qualification itself is recognized by C&G as engineering. Honestly you're coming across as someone who's pride is hurt by a 23 year old enjoying the industry and wanting to excel at it so has obviously 1; had a great instructor/mentor and 2; puts the effort in.

    Bing chat says: The Cheeky Girls are twin sisters Monica Taylor and Gabriela Irimia who rose to fame with their hit song “Cheeky Song (Touch My Bum)” following their appearance on Popstars: The Rivals. They have since reinvented themselves as salespeople working for local car dealerships in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. Both sisters are performing well in their new careers, with Monica being a best-performing sales executive on her team.

    Yeah! like how not to repair an acrylic bath, it's not about the accidents, it's about how you cover it up and hope you get paid before it gets noticed. I think I heard the splitting of floor boards too, typical sparks ;))) there's a thing called a saw but I know you guys prefer a blunt bolster and fire wood.

    Depends on the ref method, but 2.5mm can usually handle 20 and 27A. So 40A for a ring should be okay in theory, unless you have to apply a derating factor for the potential for unbalanced load share between the legs of the ring.
