Hi Jordan. Nice run through on the EICR not sure landlords will do it every time they put a new tenant in as I know some that have about 3 in a 5 year period. I have just been reading through the comment and came across the answer to your question, They had put maximum Zs on the lighting as 5.87 but my onsite guide says 7.28 take it the onsite guide is right, not that I’m questioning anybody

@ruhulali8129 4 года назад

Hi Jordan, enjoying the content, keep up the good work! This isn't criticism but simply an observation regarding your testing methods. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but it is my understanding that Zs cannot be used to prove polarity. Polarity is a dead test (other than incoming supply) and thus should be confirmed visually or with the use of an R1 + R2 test. I prefer to use the R1 + R2 test method for the continuity of CPC as it satisfies both the continuity of CPC and polarity checks. Furthermore the R1 + R2 test also facilities the calculation of Zs and in some circumstances this is safer than carrying out the live Zs test by measurement. Where safe to do so I also carry out the Zs test by measurement and compare it against calculated results.

I have a query that somebody may be able to answer. In this video it shows numerous speedfit pushfit plumbing fittings linked with 15mm copper legs. I was under a sink the other day Ichecking the bonding to the stopcock and it was all very similar set up to what was under the sink in this video. Out of curiosity I tested for continuity between a length of copper on the cold and one on the hot. Both were sandwiched between plastic fittings but strangely I got continuity. I checked to see if they were touching at any point but they weren't. I may be missing something here or being a pratt but why would I get continuity? Has Speedfit put something into their fittings that now means you get continuity?

@jmx318 3 года назад

What is earth loop impedance? And what reading would be to high?

@hristobozhkov4087 3 года назад

Hello, sorry for the question its probably lame, but when you did ring final continuity you did not do the 3 step procedure. On the earth loop test socket measurement was 0.37, while L/L was 0.41 and E/E was 0.69 which combined is 1.10, which divided by 4 is 0.275, which should be the value of R1+R2. And the earth loop on the test at socket was 0.37. How is that correct. I just bought fluke 1662 so I am trying to understand how should I use it. Thanks in advance

@anthonybragg 4 года назад

Hi Jordan, I know that your videos are a snapshot of your work and not a "how-to" so I assume you do an R2 and loop test not R1+ R2 on an EICR but what do you do regarding parallel paths for the R2.For example, you could have a break in the CPC on the upstairs lighting but the test would not indicate this as the path of the CPC when the 2 way is down to a switch with another lighting circuit. Also the from the video the cooker circuit with a parallel with the gas pipe.

@timg6850 4 года назад

What you should mention also is how to change the battery on the 'Hardwired' smoke alarms, as it has a memory to warn you the battery needs to be changed. To clear the memory : 1) Hold the test button in for 5 seconds with the battery out. 2) Put a new battery in and hold the test button again for 5 seconds and your good to go.

@metahertzuk 3 года назад

Great set of videos, super informative! Would be great to pick your brains on the Fluke; I've just picked up a used but calibrated 1664FC. I'm finding that my earth loop impedance tests (loop, no trip, L-PE) are giving me insanely different values if i hit test repeatedly. For example: 0.57, 072, 0.67, 0.43, 0.54, 0.43, 0.73. Where as L-N test is a constant 0.38! Repeated zero's of the plug lead don't show any changes, so I don't think it's the leads. Is this something you've experienced? Don't know anyone with the same tester, Thanks!

As long as there's different depths things we will never be able to standardize on probes. There's a finger guard there for a reason and they should be used by professionals who have the training or at least the wear for all to read the manual. Your fingers shouldn't be touching the metal of the probes when you're using them. Which is why I say and have had to take the Caps off and then out of fear of losing them just leave them off. Granted I am in the US with only 120, 240 V the only time I had an issue was when I tried to do something stupid sorted and the box was very tight and I tried to get to a terminal screw without removing the device and grounding it to the Box. I wasn't getting good readings from the socket and managed to bridge my pro-tip between the screw and the Box that was metal I put a nice gouge in it. And I think I was also dealing with a Federal fire Pacific panel....

@crumps84 4 года назад

@JoannaHammond 3 года назад

I'm supprised test equipment manufacturers haven't developed their own form software that wirelessly links to the tester and fills in the form as you go along depending on the readings you are taking. Could be one hell of a time saver, especially if the UI in the tester was developed correctly. The tester could easily be updated with ammendments/editions as a simple firmware update to ensure it's doing it correctly. Or, another idea, the industry develops a standard for data transfer for the readings/form/etc that means any tester can send the data to any form software and bingo. Life becomes even easier. In the aviation industry for tech log/etc transmission this was a god send (ATA Spec 2000 Chapter 16), made connecting various systems together a doddle :)

@lumpyfishgravy 3 года назад

Yes Re is R2. As originally specified, the 1653 was a pan-European tester and some countries (eg NL - I think) place more emphasis on Re than Rle. However, I have no idea why it's only one decimal place.

@lewistempleman9752 4 года назад

Why didn't you count the triple pole fan isolators as points? On the other hand you counted the low voltage undercabinet lights as points? I normally count every point where theres 240 volts (or technically 50 - 1000 AC) Also spotted a pendant with a lower part of the cap missing, the part that prevents fingers contacting the metal base of the lamp. I normally c2 those.

@artisanelectrics 4 года назад

Thanks! I only count “points of utilisation” as that is always how I’ve understood you’re supposed to do it. So you only count items that actually consume electricity not switches or isolators. Maybe I’m wrong though?

@Mainly_Electrical 4 года назад

Lewis templeman you count switches and isolators as points on a cct ?

@lewistempleman9752 4 года назад

@@artisanelectrics My thinking in recording all points is that it could be useful to the next person working on that circuit. For example if I am testing or fault finding a cooker circuit, I might assume that there is an outlet plate and possibly an isolator switch only, but if i have a previous EICR/Installation cert/circuit chart to hand and it says 3+ points, it indicates that there is more on this circuit which I have to find and investigate. And this way it conveys something actually useful from one electrician to the next. However I did some research and BS7671 definition of a point is basically a current using fixture or fitting and most people seem to agree on that, so i think you are correct in the way you do things. And I suppose that could also indicate something useful about the circuit in terms of maximum demand and diversity etc. Apparently though, recording points isnt a requirement of the regs so it really doesnt matter. As an aside, the NICEIC still regard a double socket as two points, as two current using items can be connected, just leaned that, but i won't be recording as such lol

For a BS60898 type B circuit breaker the Zs ≤ 7.28Ω under normal conditions, As according to BS7671 table 41.3. However as domestic house supply voltage could be down 6%, volt drop could be 3% and Voltage factor (Cmin) could be down at 0.8, then Zs ≤ 5.59Ω would be a more conservative value. Though I feel I am over complicating (disclaimer: new learner) And thank you for the learner question, really fun to do some on-site questions.

They were surprised that the smoke alarm had a battery as well. I pointed out that it is a back up in case of power failure. The alarm was fitted in 2018 and they felt that a Duracel battery should last longer as it is only there for a back up. Does anybody know how much power the battery actually uses? Obviously they got a bill for a new lithium 9v battery and my time. Not a happy customer. It would be handy in future if I could explain this.

It’s a great tester not perfect but a very good one let’s hope the new version they will release has even more capabilities. Greater accuracy and new test functions that merge harmonic distortion capture, testing of AFD, surge protection not just RCDs ability to identify equipment on line and allowing insulation resistance testing on line and load side without having to take apart wiring of sockets. Especially on the output side linked with fluke software that allow you to dovetail and create a report structure and output to it. That would save you having to have to pay for a software system to do that. No problem we learn a lot from your experience and issues that come up in your work.

@mathman0101 3 года назад

David Marsden you have given a whole bunch of readings, it’s not clear what test you are undertaking. I suspect you are trying to do an earth loop impedance test? whether you are undertaking an earth loop impedance test or an earth resistance test by loop method the latter is only one element of the former where continuity readings must also be added. Most electricians take Ze at the consumer unit which will differ if you have a TN system or TT system. I suggest you look at GSH electrical channel which covers this issue on measuring earth loop impedance and total earth fault loop impedance Zs. The readings will be impacted whether or not you have RCDs on the circuit or not and whether you have eliminated the resistance of the leads of the tester. These are live tests and I suggest if you are not an electrician it could be dangerous. On the fluke if you are plugging the tester on multiple sockets a Zmax is measuring the multiple loop impedance readings you are undertaking across those socket readings.

@Blackf1ngers 4 года назад

No they don't. It's points of load.

@davefletcher2664 4 года назад

You shouldn't be doing Zs on an EICR. Avoid live working. Add r1r2 to Ze. Job done.

@Spark101. 4 года назад

Not true. R1R2 + Ze doesn’t necessarily = Zs.

Eh? What you on about dave

@Blackf1ngers 4 года назад

I'd agree in the case of some things such as showers or behind cooker switches etc but for general lights, sockets, smokes i don't see any real risk. Also R1+R2 doesn't verify the neutral.

@Marco-mg9tv 4 года назад

Black Fingers I’d disagree. Why mess about chopstick style in a live pendant when you can do dead r1r2 test, confirm polarity, switch in line conductor and obtain zs all in safety ? Strictly speaking breaking the law 😇 like most of us do !

Fluke mft, called fluke ,because if you get the same reading twice, it’s a fluke !!!

With all respect do you have Inspection and Testing Qualifications? Do not make a video if you do not understand what you are doing. Please buy and learn IET Guidance Note 3 Inspection and Testing. You not allowed to do live tests until is necessary. Ze and Zs are measured at Distribution Board. Zs at circuits you have to do by other methods, calculations and checking results. Not guessing.

I did my 2391 when I was 20 and have been testing and inspecting for over 15 years now. I have and use guidance note 3 regularly. Doing live tests at sockets is absolutely fine and the rest we usually calculate Zs based on Ze and R1&R2 readings

@richardlang2185 3 года назад

@@artisanelectrics Hi. With Zs values tested on circuits as on your video you cannot get R1, R2. You need to do Continuity tests, calculations, adding max. permitted cable temperatures and checking with tables. There is quite a lot to check. Live test as you do is not permitted in UK. I would recommend to go threw IET book again. Also 40A for ring circuit 2.5/1.5 is not permitted. BS7671 All the best. Kind Regards Richard

@artisanelectrics 3 года назад

We usually test both Zs and R1&R2

Overall... A tad haphazard in your testing Jordan. Could do better. A lot better. I've chosen to not mention your omissions...
