    Excellent explanation and video mate! Stop putting yourself down, you explain it in the way we understand and that’s far better than some professor with a blackboard, I’m glad you spoke about DNC, it’s a big topic up here in Scotland as our network is on its arse (I’d imagine rest of uk is same), i had some right arguments with so-called electrical engineers when I was a generator engineer, some of the gurus never used earth rods at generator stating that the generator was TNC-s....... the outgoing side was but the alternator is the star point so needs a rod, once again Mikey thank you for doing these videos

    Fantastic video Mike! So well explained. I'm in a unit block in Sydney and our water meter seal failed. The water authority changed the meter and I was interested to see what they'd do to protect themselves when removing the meter. They had a test / monitoring device which they clamped on to the incoming and outgoing water pipe. I wish I'd got the name of the bit of kit. I was happy to see no issues on exported or imported fault current. Cheers

    Mike, what determines if you need supplementary bonding? Are you always supposed to actually test between a tap and metallic light for example ?

  • @Eicles

    Where do you get your signs for the MET (shown at 0:48)? I looked online but they’re really expensive. They look much better than the stickers though because they can’t fall off! :-)

    What is the reference of 0.05ohm for bonding wire?

  • @hippo-potamus
    @hippo-potamus Рік тому

    Would it be better to just test the voltage and ensure all bonded parts have the same resting voltage?

  • @mathman0101
    @mathman0101 2 роки тому

    Also resistance values depend on temperature and humidity and any significant metal part not connected to MET should be labeled describing decision why it could also be noted on an EICR. The issue of fortuitous connections to earth of metal parts is an important one and the issue of importing and exporting potential due to broken PEN is a very important one and should be assessed but normal electricians are limited here as it’s an issue somewhat out of their control, and dare I say perhaps DNOs but without maintenance and wider testing by DNOs the extent of the problem will remain a mystery.

    bonding leads should not be coiled, as it creates inductive impedance, shortest and most direct route for all earthing and bonding conductors is best practice

      @@residualelectrical At 50hz, 2/3 of bugger all. At high frequencies, a lot. I used to work in / around telecommunications and have seen curled earth bonding between racks. Those very same racks also had lightning damaged equipment. Racks without curled up bonding all survived. I've seen it time and time again. Curled wiring, even wiring with sharp angled bends instead of smooth curved radii all put the impedance way up when it comes to impulse current and that is a significant contributor to things failing when Mr Lightning comes knocking.

    Just thought I would mention that where a PVC water pipe is utilised at the point of entry to a domestic installation, you need to be certain that the water pipes do not re-enter the ground at any point within the installation. If that is the case, you will need to bond the water pipe regardless of it being PVC or not.
    Been a spark for 25 years and things like this still trip me up.

    English way of explaining things
    Does not work for every one
    It would be good if we could see real testing more around property practically I mean
    This way of explaining. Is colledge way for
    Students you could be good trainer and teacher. For sure
    If some one who just started college say like few months
    Still would not get what you saying
    Even if they have English as first language
    But it is good for some one who is electrician or work as electrician for company or self employed
    If you deal with Costomer directly and deal with work as well as main guy
    I mean if you are director
    Then you must know all this. All of it
    And I think it take 5 years for students here to understand electric in and out also uk work system and style
    In whole is good explanation
    Study make perfect and learning and learning
    Thank you. ❤
