Hey Guys Welcome back to another Monday video, I hope you're all doing well !
Since James went on holiday this week, I had to run around and do a lot of multiple jobs along side fitting a really advanced intercom system. If you did enjoy the video then make sure to drop it a like, drop any suggestions or videos you'd like to see in the comments section below and if you want to see more from me, then make sure to subscribe to be notified when I next upload.

As soon as the vet practice know that you pet is insured they load the price and that's a fact it happened to me we were seen by the vet and then went to pay the cost was £80.00 but when we said we needed a receipt for the insurance the receptionists put the price chart away and brought another charge card out a all of a sudden the bill went up to£180.00. Even before covid these guys were wearing masks.

Looks like a nice intercom. You can run 12v as long as you want as long as the cables beefy enough to keep the drop down. If it will work on 24v you can double up the conductors for 12v. If your lucky enough to have 2 spares.

@mrfrenzy. 2 года назад

Doubling up cables doesn't always work. A lot of 24V equipment works fine on 15V, while 12V devices often die around 10V.

A driver that doesn't work on the UK mains range of 216-253 is not fit for purpose & should be chucked back at the supplier as faulty. Probably designed for 220V nominal .

@acelectricalsecurity 2 года назад

To be honest it's not uncommon, I was having a moan about led stuff failing to my NIC guy, he said, it was because it's designed for 230v and our voltage is all over the place, so it's to be expected. I have also had the problem with pv inverters, have had a few that kept shutting down, and it was because it was greater than their rated voltage.

I haven't been able to find a reference but I thought the british standards required products sold in UK to accept voltages up to 253V where designed for use on standard mains supply.

@acelectricalsecurity 2 года назад

@@_chrisr_ as with everything there's a tolerance, but occasionally it goes out of that, one PV inverter kept tripping out, the guy was monitoring his voltage and occasionally it was touching 260v, dispite the DNO saying they didn't have an issue, then all of a sudden they were on his Street working on the transformer, obviously coincidence 😂

That's an ok argument until we have an electric switch off as I experienced growing up as a kid. Also bare it in mind Tom charged up while working, that availability is so ready either but pot luck. On another day Tom's van would be useless as well. Stuck on the side of the N Circular, Time is money and all. I want this to work so badly, but we're nowhere near it yet.

@Azeria 2 года назад

@@wm6204 we’re literally very near, and the entire fact you have to state you experienced power cuts as a *kid* really doesn’t help your case either. This Kangoo is a last generation, small van full of kit. This generation gets vastly better range, and that’ll only keep improving, in ten years it’s a no brainer, especially if you can’t even buy a diesel van in the first place. And finally, again, I’m literally saying good bushiness practice is to not only rely on one technology to get your job done…

@wm6204 2 года назад

@@Azeria l totally agree with you, it's the way to go, much cleaner. but these vehicles are nowhere near good enough. Only for the luck of a charging station Tom would have had a long wait on the N Circular. He's stressed out enough without out worrying about breaking down. Unfortantly our government doesn't support this technology anywhere near enough. Instead only taxing us to push these big corporations. The market fails us but slowly pushes out this stuff only to buy again and again. We're supposed to be going away from the throw away society towards a sustainable one. It's not joined up thinking 👍 Atb.

The massive increase in the uptake of 'pet insurance' has driven the 'vet rates' through the roof... They can basically charge what they want because, with most people, the insurance company will cover them therefore the 'joe public' doesn't feel the impact... You need to start an electrical insurance business!!! 👍

@mrfrenzy. 2 года назад

Insurance companies are starting to wise up, they put a limit on the cost of certain operations and the vets adjust their prices down accordingly if the customer refuses to pay the difference.

@jaycee1980 2 года назад

19:52 you'd think the designers of these things would know this, and use something more sensible such as 48V. DC-DC conversion means stepping down is not a big deal - in fact it's probably stepping down from 12V to 5/3.3v internally anyway!

Great video Tom , amazing how much the little jobs bring in to the business bank account , Vets , yep our cat 🐱 swatted a bee between his paws , the bee flew off , telephone call to the vets , with one paw bigger than the other , quick look , quick jab 💉 5 minutes later that 68 quid please Mike , I nearly fell over , licence to print money that job ,we in the car job hate intermittent faults , they very rarely show themselves , but if you ring the customer to say you've found other work, they think your trying to rip them off !!, ok then drive with no brakes see if I care , I've told you and it's written on the job card and if you have an a accident your insurance probably won't pay out , loads of fuel up here in sunny Bolton bud 👍👍

This is why all EV drivers should have a portable genny in the vehicle. That way if it runs flat you can plug in and charge up. As long as it's beefy enough to push 240v @ 30amps it should do a fine enough job getting enough energy into the battery to get you home.

@mfx1 2 года назад

The proper way to fix a sticking solenoid is remove it, take out the armature then thoroughly clean both the armature and the coil bore with a solvent (use kitchen towel twisted into the coil bore) WD40 will only be a temporary fix. I used to fix outdoor vending machines which contained LOADS of solenoids and yes I'd use WD40 as a quick emergency fix if it was pissing with rain, freezing cold or near going home time but next time I was near that machine or had spare time I'd clean it properly because I'd only be going back there soon anyway once the WD40 wore off. A properly cleaned solenoid doesn't need any lubricant, lubricants help dust etc. stick together and it will stick again. Good if you get paid for callbacks though.

My house (a rental) is wired like the East London job; 1 ring supplying a large 3 bed house. Granted, nearly all the sockets in the house are singles. Due to lack of sockets, I have break-out extensions all over the bloody place though. Thankfully; it's not caused a problem but it was picked up when the last EICR was done (as an observation). On the topic of rates; I saw something the other day (I don't recall where) someone was moaning about £60 for the replacement of a damaged light switch in a flat. All the keyboard warriors were banging on about how they could replace it for £3 and all that. But by the time you get a proper sparky to come to do the job, bring the part and pay for a call out...£60 is pretty reasonable.
