@artisanelectrics 4 года назад

@arthurdanielles4784 3 года назад

Your vid illustrates why in the UK ALL electrical main wiring work has to be carried out by a qualified electrician/electrical engineer and those householders who do not abide by that can cause electrical fires and other dangerous situations to occur. Those who lease, rent cannot make any such alterations to properties without the consent of the landlord. Often it is written clearly in the tenancy agreement re this. It is a brilliant vid because it really shows WHY we have to have such controls in place. If you realise how much hard work, skill and training go into your qualified electrician or electrical engineers getting qualified to do the work it is because they need that to ensure your property or properties are safe re the electrics. What you are showing us here is a real bodge up and probably by the former owners /tenants /landlords ? Yes even the landlords sometimes do short cuts and attempt the work themselves when they are NOT qualified to do that work. Great vid ! I am a strong advocate of a law that makes it compulsory for ALL domestic electrical users in properties to have their systems tested and certified at least every 5 years re tenants, landlords, leaseholds etc 👀

👍🏼 Top man, typical an open ring on fault finding. I use to use MK accessories until a spark gave me a some Hager sollysta sockets & switches to try. I’ve never went back. I’ve never had one call back for a failed accessory in 10yrs.

@artisanelectrics 4 года назад

Good stuff

@tasercs 4 года назад

Once upon a time, I would have said nothing beats MK, with their years of experience, they invented the 3 shutter system (as I understand it 'MK Safety Socket'). Their terminal layout was thoughtful, backed out screws etc. And how often do you visit old installations with the good ole' original MK sockets, probably having been in daily use for 60 years. But I have to agree that they are not what they once were, probably due to cost cutting. I have experienced loads of out-of-packet failures where brand new socket outlets cut out and show varying R readings when under test when the plug top is wobbled, and switch rockers move inwards around the pivot giving a less than positive feel. However, Hager just feel more solid and capable and have a lovely light switch action, despite being double pole and have their own 3 shutter system. That sounded like an advert for Hager - so can I expect them to send me a box of 50 twin sockets for free? Can I b*//*~@s... 😂

@stevejagger8602 8 месяцев назад

Click. In particular I like their modular system for switch plates that can use any type of switch within each range so you can make up any combination that you require for your circuit design.

@gordonr6532 2 года назад

These fault finding videos are excellent, as a novice that's learning is it safe to assume that each time you do insulation testing you go round and disconnect everything first, just so I can learn I am not offering any critic at all.

@JayTheSparky 4 года назад

Hager Sollysta range, even fitted in my own house. Looks decent, good price point and well made, full range too. MK I have found aren’t they same quality as they used to be, I do however like their spurs that have all the terminals at the top on one side, wish other manufacturers would do the same!

@artisanelectrics 4 года назад

Yeah I agree about the spurs it always annoys me when I use other brands how the terminals are all over the place!

@ashmanelectricalservices4318 4 года назад

Great find Jordan, you IR test method is very similar to mine even down to the using the plug adapter so you don't have to take off every single socket plate. I'd probably steer clear of downsizing the MCB, my guess is that is was originally a ring final circuit that developed a fault and rather than rewiring the faulty section, they just disconnected it and left it that way. I'd look to reinstate the circuit as a ring, you've got to go back and rewire that temporary link anyway.

@artisanelectrics 4 года назад

Cool, thanks, I have no idea where the break in the ring is though.

@Liberator975 3 года назад

@peterwalker1962 4 года назад

Hey Jordan, If you suspect the fault was from a small overload over time causing the possible insulation breakdown, would this not just happen again even if you downgrade the circuit to a 16 or 20, looks like it would need an extra radial installed to that kitchen/utility area or the ring final made good again......

@andrewwhite3793 3 года назад

Social housing in Scotland jumped from MK to Crabtree and so did I. Years ago I would not go past MK but today I won't have them in the van. Problem is the sockets when you thing the 2 2.5s are tight yet they fall out. Crabtree is fit and forget for me. Also MK moved its production. Another point is the Isolator on the the CU when you switch them off give them a nudge and they will snap to the on position. All other makes are the other way aroung ie nudge when on and they spring to the off positionI wrote to MK about it and they ignored me. So watch out when you think you have it switched off

@tae6013 4 года назад

Appreciated your video but I still do not get it if the fault has been rectified correctly... When you re-do an insulation test at 18:27 resulted 0.03Mohm between L-E which would not go away by you just connecting two legs open radial circuit (lets say broken ring) to make a full ring circuit. My opinion is that an insulation resistance is nothing to do with if circuits are split into two leg radials or one complete ring....I could be wrong but would appreciate your clarification as I might have missed out something to understand please.

@alantorrance6153 3 года назад

@Hensepens64 3 года назад

I'm not an electrician, but more DIY type. Question.. is it common in the UK to have the lead as ring from one socket to another? Feels strange as here in The Nethetlands we have on central place (typically light in seeling) which feeds all sockets and light switches.

@simonabbott7323 4 года назад

The older MK ranges are good. Even the Logic plus range when introduced in the 90's was well-built. But then they moved production outside the UK. Their 6" pendant sets at one point were cheap Chinese ones that I could (at the time) buy for 69p each. The MK ones were identical save that theirs had the logo printed on the clear base. MK quality has gone down the pan in recent years. I only ever fitted one of their CU's. Never again. Regarding the testing, I would always test the RCD (do a ramp test) to check it isn't a faulty RCD. My favourite accessories are Hager & their CU too.

@artisanelectrics 4 года назад

Yeah I agree MK CUs are awful. Sockets and switches are still good quality in my opinion. I’ve never used their pendants. Ramp test is a good tip.

@acelectricalsecurity 4 года назад

Where I live everyone uses click, it's cheap and it is reliable, the best thing is, the light switches are a similar design to grid, allows you to use whichever switch you want, but still keep the look of a standard switch, useful when you want an intermediate on a two gang switch. MK is ok, it's not what it used to be, I don't like the terminal layout, especially the spurs, everything across the middle, makes it harder to dress the cables inside the box.

Interesting one! I’ve never come across that! Could it be that touching the casing is causing it to trip? Or is the door one where the light comes on when you open it?
