Hi Sparkie Ninja, Great demonstration and wondered if I could get a wiring diagram to make a similar rig to demonstrate this in Australia to Electrical apprentices. Cheers Steve
Great content mate, don't think is anything close to this on RU-vid right now. Will be great if you can do an up to date one using the lates regs and maybe also covering the project more in depth.
Great, discussion I need do my testing qualification. Have left it a fair few years now. After hearing you discuss the ways of testing. It's exactly how I do it, removing parallel paths and doing calculations to know what reading your after also guides you to an issue. Just need to brush up on theory. Keep it up guys.
An interesting subject, enjoyed hearing from Kirsty and John. I do find Paul talking way too much (he does seem to like the sound of his own voice) was distracting from the content on all these EICR videos. He makes an interesting subject harder to follow .
There has to be an interview somewhere with a Napit CEO ‘so, you were aware of this particular electrician registered with your competent persons scheme had left unsafe work whilst also using logos on his adverts that were not justified, yet you still did not suspend his membership, or investigate the unsafe work, correct?’ “Yes that is correct”
Thank you both alot . I completed the 2392-10 as you and others suggested to gain a insight and now on my way to do the 2391-52. Your podcasts and videos are perfect .
I don’t know if you guys are still monitoring comments in 2024, but “Flyings” is a term I have encountered in the early cotton weaving industry, “Flyings” being of the nature of airborne lint, and obviously highly prevalent and combustible, and pointed out the need for “Electrical Plant to be protected from such debris”, I hope this helps - Julie
Is an extra earth needed for a metal face plate? I would have assumed so (similar light switches have an earth screw to earth) but my new plug socket doesn't have an obvious earth screw for the faceplate
I know this was 3 years ago however, just a few queries... For socket circuits, why does the design guide consider the MCB rating in calculating the max. demand? 40% of 32A (12.8A) seems excessive for a domestic ring circuit. Another thing, that 40% factor used as diversity factor appears to be taken at the same time of the day for all the circuits. Has the time of utilisation been considered on that 40% figure? And this load assessment is just for a single dwelling unit. What about for a multiple dwelling unit? Can you please do another webinar video for that? Thanks.
Having no issues, but when i had my tails replaced my energy supplier for a EV charged install, he advised a C17 and as i was having a 100A fuse upgraded he advised me to mention it to uk Power networks as could do at the same time, UK power networks booked only the 110A fuse and when i have queried about the C17 black plactic, and upgrading it, they dont seem bothered just advise that if the electrician that changed the 100A fuse saw any issues they would have mentioned it, so showld i push for this to be replaced or is it fine, they mention there are some customers with older metal boxes.
Coming late to the discussion. One aspect not explicitly covered (as yet) was the generator 'reference' to earth and how / why that reference should be (or not) connected for (I believe) the elimination of human shock voltages (and if not connected the low currents that will/can still kill you ), rather than, as mentioned, what is considered the [lack of] power currents in the reference line, i.e. the currents would never blow a fuse or trip a circuit breaker. The aspect of creating a [mass of] earth reference protection can also be for the electromagnetic (radio) interference reduction that all the EMI/RFI filters in modern electronic equipments provide with their Y capacitors 'leaking' deliberately to their 'earth' / chassis. It also appears as it those in the US may have different views because of their own peculiar systems and operating environments with respect to protecting linesmen from back feeds from all the back up genny's in rural US.
Hi. Thanks for this video. It is very useful preparation for the exam even for 18th Ed A2. In question 3, if the maximum voltage drop is 5V would that suggest a voltage drop has already occurred to the distribution board so the voltage at the distribution board would be 385V and calculations would then be based on that? Also, when determining minimum CSA would marks be lost by not determining Ct and applying it to the voltage drop calculation for 2.5 sq mm? Then if 15 V has already been dropped to the distribution board, the actual voltage drop would be 15 + 3.74 (18.84V) which is still acceptable (<20V).
Dog shite installation pal I’m only surprised 1 , you even got your tester out after looking around and 2, you even turned up , as surely there self proclaimed install genius Sparky’s should be testing there own shit work, 😂😂 Keep up the good work pal ,
