Delroy, don't stop making vids. Your efforts are appreciated and your content and presentation is improving as the weeks go by. I appreciate you Del.. A lot of us do!
I’ve been using those slimline wagos and find the same issue so I wrap alittle insulated tape across the levers which help. Thanks for the great videos
Delroy wago 224-101, and 224-201 are designed for lights and very economical on space try them out. Some of the 224 are also designed for high heat use as well.
Same here - until we moved to an all electric house and a village with no gas. I took five of those things out, by the time I'd taken the third one out upstairs I was carrying the bricks one at a time downstairs 🤣 We had some new Quantum heaters put in. what a world of difference from the old school storage heaters., and some solar panels to lighten the bills a bit.
It’s really good that you highlighted the problem with the MCB connections. I believe the manufacturers have addressed this problem now, but of course there are thousands installed. It would not surprise me if it was this,along with doubling up of the tails in the isolators on the plastic split consumer units that has been causing the increase in fires in the plastic consumer units.
crazy to think most of this wiring would not pass inspection in the states...especially all the exposed wires and "juego" connectors for the splices. I have seen those fail time and time again....looks like you take pride in your work!
Great videos you’re intermediate switches there are called 3 way switches at each end and if you have a third one between the two it’s called a 4 way switch here in the US just a little different terminology
Delroy talking about light swiches have you ever worked on a long corridor like in a hospital where they have the lighting staged with what we call "Travelling" circuits, Example: Turn switch 1 on and first lot of Flourescent tubes come on, get to switch 2 and second lot of lights go on , first lot switch off and so and so forth down the corridor and it works in reverse order. If you have come across this and know how it's wired could you let me know. I'll send and e-mail to you just in case.
Did you try to ask the client with the light fitting with water in where the water was coming from to make the mcb trip? As they could have a dripping pipe or careless person in the bathroom
These vids are Interesting. 21:34 The plastic in the window reveal is probably an insulated cavity closer that fits between each leaf. They form part of building regulations Part L and shouldn't usually be cut as you can get cold bridging that could lead to a dew point in the cavity and then damp.
you didnt show how you done that water heating control box black extension lead on white skirting Whos idea was that ? tripping RCD what was exactly wrong with the circuit ?
Delroy - thank you for putting these videos together. You are a real down to earth (sorry CPC 😂) guy who I am sure we can all relate to. I love your unpretentious style.👍👍 Ye Gods that light fitting at 34:50 - never mind CORONA I hope you were wearing full PPE that place is a health hazard - has she not heard of cleaning?
when de-energising or energising a board, you should de-energise all mcb's first, RCD's second, then the main switch, then reverse to energise Whenever I'm removing a busbar I always unscrew the MCB's to the maximum, you will never miss the busbar then
There's no need to do any of that. if you look at the symbols on the main isolator you can see the load-break switch symbol meaning it's designed to withstand switching under load.
Go-deh, marsa Delroy. Howevea, mi affi cuss yu bout yu han dem @0.56! Coaco Butta miss yu, sah! Nu mek yu mumma si dis ya video! Box a come! ----------------------------------------------- English translation: Well done, Delroy However, dear boy, I must draw your attention to the rather stark condition of your hands @0.56! A dab of Coaco Butter was missed today, sir! Be sure your dear mother does not view this video or you'll be sure to receive a thick ear!
