Jordan thank you for the content! Never underestimate the power of post it notes. Especially when working with someone else, 1A, 2A, 3A (EoL). I use dust extraction on my rotary hammer, and use a steel door magnet from a security switch inside a disposable plastic bag turned inside out so that after I get done picking up all of my filings and chips I can just turn it right way around, throw out the bag, and don’t have anything on my magnet. You should get a KC Tool link affiliate link for Tools4Sparks channel so your N. American viewers can get you a commission on tool recommendations because, I had been sitting on the fence on whether I needed the VDE Knipex electricians knife, but now is see I need it. I have already purchased like a half dozen things based on your recommendations.

@Artisan Electrics Kansas City Tool They are normally about 5% to 10% more than Amazon but... Every order comes with “a bit of thanks“ a Felo #2 Phillips (most common size in North America). $50 orders come with free shipping. $100 orders come with a German tools sticker pack. AND if Amazon is selling any tool that they sell for below wholesale they’ll email you as soon as they find out about the sale to tell you to jump on it. Their customer service is amazing!

@danmurphy2399 4 года назад

@bramcoteelectrical1088 4 года назад

clear from these changes is that the scope of the new regulations is wider than in the 17th Edition 3rd Amendment, specifically where reference is made to both entry routes in and exit routes out of the building. This reference combined with explicitly requiring metallic fixing is to reduce the risk of cables causing an obstruction - both to the residents of buildings as well as to first responders. When fixing cables to exposed surfaces vertically and horizontally, the spacing of metal fixings should be approximately 250-400mm. HellermannTyton does not recommend that plastic fixings are used as the only method of fixing and should only be used in addition to sufficient metal fixing. Where changes have been made to include cable trays and baskets it is recommended that larger cables and cable bundles are fixed within a cable basket or tray. By using metal fixings such as stainless-steel ties in conjunction with cable trays and baskets ensures maximum compliance with the 18th Edition to reduce risk of cables causing obstruction in the event of a fire.

@theblockchainhustle 4 года назад

I agree with how you execute a project and also agree on how neatness (overall) simplifies an installation. Planning is always key. Also, with cable ties, rather than using a blade, you can use side cutters. You will have to cut at an angle to get it right. However, there is a technique involved that will render a flush, non sharp aka tacky finish. Alternatively, get some Knipex Electronic Super Knips which cuts flush every time. By the way, I'm really enjoying your videos and find it interesting....although, I'm not a sparky by trade! I'm a communications and security geek!

hi Jordan Q1 for learners that watch your channel do you turn your DB main switch off with the breakers on (on load) or did you isolate each circuit first so the main switch is switched off load... Q2 thoughts on bonding of the cable tray that is in contact with the metal part of the structure of the building or was it not touching the steel structure...

@artisanelectrics 4 года назад

Hi Gaz! 1. Always turn off the MCBs first so that when you turn off the main switch there is no load. 2. I wouldn’t bond the cable tray as it’s already mechanically connected to the metallic structure via the fixings and the main structure is bonded. But I’m open to suggestions about this as it’s not 100% clear what should be done.

@anthonybragg 4 года назад

I was going to post to Jordan regarding that I always turn the breakers off then isolate the main switch and via versa however it looked like it was unoccupied and negligible load so.

I’m not sure re the bonding of the cable tray either, it isn’t likely to become live under fault conditions hence isn’t imo an exposed conductive part. The building structure is likely extraneous hence the structure should be main protective bonded.

@1jim58 4 года назад

Jordan, I didn't see any circuit idents on the wiring inside the distribution board, I know it's straightforward to identify the live conductors from which circuit breaker they go to but we've found it's good practice to identify the neutrals and earths where they terminate in their respective common bars. I know you've probably terminated them in circuit order but it saves any confusion if you number the cables. I'm curious as to why you used the earthing back nuts on the cable glands instead of banjo tags, there must be quite a difference in cost. Where I work we've stopped putting the sheathes over cable glands that are installed outside as we've found that they are ineffective at preventing water ingress and in a lot of instances trap rainwater in the gland and make the situation worse.

@yngndrw. 2 года назад

I'm a DIYer so forgive me if I'm wrong, but I believe your cable grouping is incorrect for the three phase circuits. You've used 4mm^2 5 core cable on tray which gives a current carrying capacity of 34A, but on the tray you have one which is at the edge and therefore next to a single cable which gives a rating factor of 0.88 (29.9A) and the one in the middle is next to two which gives a rating factor of 0.82 (27.9A). When cleated down the wall, the rating factor is 0.87 (29.6A) for the three phase cables. Am I missing something in the calculations?

You can buy flush cutters for not much on eBay

Nice video. Wouldn't the cable tray on the cantilever arms be prone to premature collapse, presuming the cantilever arms are fixed to the wall with plastic rawl plugs and screws. I am not an electrician so i am not in anyway familiar with the regs. More curious than anything, thanks.

Not a criticism but a curiosity. Why not use an an add on earth leakage withe the mcb rather than individual rcd commandos.?. Nice neat install, many thanks 👍.

@petermichaelgreen 3 года назад

I can think of a couple of reasons. One is space in the board, afaict there are no three phase RCBOs that fit within the footprint of a standard three phase MCB, so adding RCD protection means taking up additional space in the board and that board is not exactly generously sized. Another is local RCDs make it clear which machine has an earth leakage problem.

Should all the trays be bonded?

@artisanelectrics 4 года назад

Not necessarily. It depends on the situation.

@jimmygilroy8470 4 года назад

if you use joiners on tray they should be bonded .if tray over laps at joint not required.

Interesting where did you get that from?

@yngndrw. 2 года назад

Is there any reason you chose to use a metal 50mm bushing over a 50mm rubber grommet? Personally I wasn't a fan of electrical tape being used instead of sleeving to identify the single phase conductors, but I suppose it works - I just hate the stuff!

@UserName-yk7om 3 года назад

Nice work!!! Why isn't it necessary to put a RCD in the DB? Even if there is one in the outlets, the cable will still be live in case of a short to ground if this happens between the DB and the outlets...or is there sth. that I'm missing here?

@petermichaelgreen 3 года назад

I presume this is a TN system (most UK supplies are), so primary protection against shorts to ground are provided by the overcurrent protection. BS7671 requires RCD protection for concealed cables less than 50mm deep that do not have an earthed metal layer, but these cables don't fall into that category.

@Wintersky136 4 года назад

Wanna know how that would have been done in germany? All the CEE 32A Sockets would have got a separate 5x6mm2 line with their own 32A type c breaker, all the single phase sockets would have got their own single phase supply aswell with a 3x2,5mm2 cable (due to industrial use) - breaker 16A single phase type c

I always wondered why the British electrical installations, the main fuse or fuses, electricity meter and main switch are outside the electrical cabinet?

@2305denver 4 года назад

So you can isolate the DB completely before working on it

@peto22 4 года назад

@@2305denver I have never felt the need to isolate the entire electrical panel. Our electrical panels have separate section for DNO stuff eg. supply cable, main fuses, kWh meter and main switch. this section is closed with signet screws for DNO access only.
