    A few times in your videos you've said that it isn't that entertaining, well to us sparks that don't do this every day it is, and besides, I've seen loads of videos where the job comes second to making videos look like documentaries. You videos are brilliant, and the depth you put in to your explainations are exactly what is missing in most electricians videos. Keep up the good work.

    John, suggest to your conundrum about how to present these - create a playlist for each section of inspection and then anytime you create new content that applies to DBs, FCs, Incoming mains, etc - tag to the playlist?

    Great stuff. Perhaps some consideration should be given the RCCB's being 63A in terms of load and relation to cut out. Would the socket with the tape around it be an FI and no internal inspection ?

    That thumbnail John! 😂 Great video, I really appreciate the coverage on Section 5. It always seems to bring out the most disagreement between me and the other lads. I'd personally love to see a long format video just on Section 5. Or maybe a compilation video of the "greatest hits" of common Codes from across multiple jobs that you've seen would be interesting.... Either way, I look forward to your next adventure!

    Hi John, another really informative video. I loved the detail about the tinned copper cables. I just have one question about something you said ... at 19 min 10 sec you point out a double pole switch for the appliances, and you say that you'd like to see FCUs on those - can I ask why? If the appliance leads were coming up through the counter top and then being plugged directly into an accessible socket you wouldn't need any fusing or isolators, right? I thought the isolator switch was to allow disconnection of the appliances when they are plugged in to inaccessible sockets, but that was all it was required to do. Thanks! Dave.

    A 20amp.d p switch is ok to use as apposed to a fused spur. Because the washing machine is more them likely on a 13amp plug top if the washing machine was on a flex outlet then a spur would be necessary just out of interest what did you code the skirting sockets

      @mrbeckles77 Cheers mate. A lot of it was through my apprenticeship. I was taught by gents in their 50-60's so they installed and worked on a lot of older stuff and explained it as we came across it. The IET have a awesome guide. Search "Estimating the age of an installation" on Google and it should come up 👍

    Great video, and to answer your question,,,,probably best to do videos like this one so they are not over long.
    Curious, you say you agree with the client the scope (%) of your EICR and then went on to visually and funtionality, switching wise, of everything or 100%.
    Is this your standard,,,visually and functionality 100% and the testing of circuits is say, 25%?

    • @John_Faultless
      @John_Faultless  4 місяці тому +2

      @ningis21 So I visually inspect 100% of accessories accessible and open 20% (or whatever is agreed) for internal inspection. I'll list on my limitations any limitations such as "no access to bedroom 2" "sockets behind kitchen appliances not inspected due to potential damage to lino flooring" etc.
      But every accessory accessible will be visually inspected on the surface, and any switches/isolators operated as a functional test.
      Also, thanks for your feedback 👍

      ​@@John_Faultless I wouldn't mention the earth entering a different hole unless it was an EICR with a list of codes already.
      It's difficult not to be strict though, when the question you ask yourself is could I defend this in court if I don't note it.
      I sometimes write an "Obs" for observation for the likes of the earth coming through a different hole. I've not coded it but I have noted it and my visual assessment can't be questioned at least.
      I do also treat your videos as CPD. Always learning.

    • @John_Faultless
      @John_Faultless  4 місяці тому +1

      @RabM1990 Yea, depending on the software you're using, it's difficult to add observations that are not code per se. NICEIC software I find a chore to add things like that to apart from in the additional pages section. I use megger certsuite that has the option for non code observations which I find really useful. I should do a poll for software people use and their benefits so people are informed when choosing.
      However, I'm going put it out there that NICEIC is a rip off! 😂

      @haldo691 Yea an A code like A07 exposed live parts, they will attend promptly. However, the exposed live parts with the metering equipment is not the DNO responsibility. I bunged up the L3 service fuse. The landlord didn't know who the energy provider was for the meter issue.
      For a high earth loop impedance you have to send an eicr to ukpn for them to attend which is mad really.
