Could we get you 90,000 subscribers to over take nagy, bundy, and jordan you deserve this , good man👍🏼🕺🍺
Very helpful. Love the pace you explain things, no f**cking about.
Very helpful thank you very much w
😊
Great video very informative currently studying my testing inspection I love your approach to your craft and helping the next generation to grow and learn
Spot on, thank you
Cracking video. Real world electrics. The checklist is super handy too.
Cheers mate, I hope that List come in handy
What a great video mate
Good video at speed .it seems to sink in easier than other people's slow waffle thanks
Thanks John, I hope it helps
Thanks for this and very much for borrowed neutral test hint at 9.40. Editing makes you bit like a rapper at times 😀
Yeah I think my edit in on this video was pretty shocking really but I hope you got my points across
*GEEZER!* 😊
great eicr checklist in video write up. it is now my go to checklist
Thank you
Awesome pointers pal, things I'd never have thought of. Quick and informative 👌. I was kinda hoping it would have been longer 😉.
Thank you maybe I can re-address in the future
Some gold dust pictures there Will, superb Vid. 💥💥💥💥
You are absolutely awesome! I like your style!
great content keep it up
Real world.
Love it
Nice one, thank you Paul
Good tips, my first watch after seeing you on Monday Club.
Looks like you've seen it all, mate
Nice one welcome to my channel.
Smashed it 👏
Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it
I've gone an flicked your bean I mean bell Will!
Nice one cheers Micky you’re a star
Very educational video Will! Much appreciated! What would you do in the case of that borrowed neutral scenario- knowing that if you change to an RCBO board it’ll probably start tripping out when turned on? Cheers
It's probably about time smoke alarms were written into BS7671. In most domestic situations the only bloke who goes in there with an informed eye is gonna be a spark so it just makes sense to me. I don't put any code down but if there's anything wrong about them I'll still list it in observations but just put an NA. While we're on the subject, cpcs not brought forward into the alarm is common where they used to have a different brand and I see a fair few where they use the cpc as the interlink too. People think the smoke doesn't need the earth as it's class 2 but it's the circuit in the fabric of the building that needs it otherwise the OCPD ain't gonna do much if someone puts a screw through the cable.
Yeah I agree 100%
Good point
I believe that even in the NICEIC snags and solutions.That they mention it is okay to use the CPC as the interlink. I’ve only ever seen that on another podcast so I don’t know how true that is.Crazy especially when they sell radio bases
I’m pretty sure the Regs state Green / yellow coloured cable should not be used for any other purposes
@@rossmurdoch7870 this only applies to single core green/yellow cables. The green/yellow core of a multicore cable can be oversleeved and repurposed. 514.4.2
The screw covers for switches on lighting circuits with no earth; while ideal, are not essential. C3 mate.
Atleast half a day to do an EICR properly on even a 2 bed flat.
👍👍 Groove rider
Good stuff Will tons to think about here.One point to add Green and yellow should only be used as CPC or bonding
IET 18th ed 514.4.2 "The bi-colour combination green and yellow shall be used exclusively for identification of a protective conductor and this combination shall not be used for any other purpose."
There is a specific exception for PEN conductors which can have blue over-marking at terminals , but the above is pretty clear for the vast majority of applications
Table 51 gives all the accepted colours
With regards to extension leads. Isn't that something you can't really comment on considering its not part of the electrical installation? Things that are plugged into sockets aren't to be recorded on an eicr?
Merch Alert! where can we buy 3 stripe Adidas with personalised Logos?
yeh. . . I'm keeping up
more please if you like 😎
How do you charge for the inspection - each job is different?So much time spent doing post mortems?
It depends on the size of the building and the size of the house. If it’s a three bedroom, then I can normally gather it will take half a day for two of us if it’s anything larger than it will probably be a day or so on and so on, obviously we charge by half a day and a full day. If I’m not confident of being accurate of how long it will take to go on a day rate and it will be specified before normally if it’s anything bigger than a four bedroom I would go and have a look before the test
Good informative video. Hate the cut scene stutter stuff. Don't do it. thx
Nice one cheers mate yeah I can only improve with that unfortunate I’ll make it up as I go along.
What happened to the midfield general?
He had to have a day off he is back tomorrow😂😂
14:10 Why might 'exporting' the earth from the main building to a garage be a problem?
If the supply characteristics are TNCS then you are not supposed to export the Earth out of the equipotential zones.
@@ElectricianTV That is a common myth of our trade. Please can you explain why you think it is a problem, and also can you please reference some form of regulation to back the statement up?
Answering without regulations and being out of my bed for five minutes. I would say is to do with pen fault and being out of the taken equipotential zones of the original building.
@@ElectricianTV I looked into this a while back, and concluded that it's a myth. There is nothing in BS7671 prohibiting taking the TN-C-S earth to outbuildings, apart from a few special locations/situations. I cannot find any evidence that DNO's prohibit it either. Engineering Recommendation G12 ( basically guidance for DNO's explaining where they should and should not provide PME earthing) doesn't prohibit it, again aside from a few special cases, that largely mirror BS7671.
It may be a myth, but it's a persistent one - it's been doing the round for decades now.
@@andrewcadbyI’m not a sparky but as I understand it it depends on if you have any extraneous conductive parts like copper pipes or structural steel in to the ground. They could be at a different potential from the earth that is connected to the main incoming earth so possible problem. So no conductive parts earth from main building is fine. Pretty sure there is a John ward video about this somewhere. But like I said I’m no sparky so could be wrong.
Water bonding. If it is fixed to a point, say near stop cock. How is the bond effective if plastic pipe is used around the property mixed with copper? Do you rely on the water to carry back to ground in the event of a fault passed a section of plastic? Nothing more than a DIY monkey here but one bond with mixture of plastic & copper makes no sense to me
Same I was wondering this... I not seem anything regarding this
Smokes; REG Text: "...relevant parts of BS5839" Reg Number: 560.10 - Burn it into the eyelids 🤣
Nice one thank you I’ll have a look today
