Electrical Wiring How to Install an RCD 

Can not believe so many people are so mean to a person simply wants to share knowledge and paid such an effort to make a video. It is always easy typing some negative words than actually doing something meaningful.

When Bon Jovi is not making music, he does electrical workshops 😊

thank you for your had work it's really help me.

Well understand thanks

Wow, Bon Jovi, amazing.

Very good video but where did the load neutral appear from? He just pulls it through from the rear of the box with no explanation of where that came from. Can anyone advise?

great tuition

Amazing video mate

RIP headphone users

Zambia

What country is this? We haven't used black for neutral for years now

Why wouldn’t the neutral from the neutral bar and the active from the top go into the bottom terminals, it would work the same won’t it ..!

Mcb does overload current and short circuit current not just overload

The RCBOs (as they are called in the UK) have a captive neutral wire so that isn't required. Another difference is that the line voltage will be delivered to the RCBOs (or any other devices) with a solid copper bus bar, not a via a lot lot of links which is also connected to the main switch (which will be double, not single pole). However, that tiny box with two circuits is surely not for a whole property. We do have small units in the UK too designed for outhouses, garages and so on, but they are still bigger than that, typically with 5 DIN widths, and have connection terminal bars for earth and neutral. Having the neutrals and earth terminal strips outside the unit looks odd from a UK perspective. Is that normal in Australia? Also, they now have to be made of non-flammable materials, which basically means metal (that wasn't the case a few years ago). In a perfect world, now that RCBOs are so common, both neutral and line ought to be delivered by bus bars (indeed, even earth too) and then the whole lot can be tidied up.

Apart from the electric hotwater system, does the range/stove need to be connected to a RCD, as in the past wih a pot on the stove, I felt some current travelling in tom my hand and using my multimeter and yes there was 240V going the pot via earth. Is this legal? I am NOT lienced sparky, but I know something about RCD's & electrical wiring. My GPO's and lighting are connected via RCD's and the TPS is 2core with earth (modern wiring)!

*Question:* As Australian and New Zealand electrical regulations are basically the same, however, I understand with MCB's there different ratings (domestic), 10A Lights, 20 Power (gpo), 32 range (stove), 16 Hot Water. The RCD's are rated at 63A with 32mA trip (safety). Here in NZ, the 32A (stove) doesn't go via a RCD even the stove us half the current! In Australia (new homes/for sale and rental) does the stove (32A) go via a RCD? Is that the Australian regulation? Or is this optional?

Why are the wire colors not correct? :P

What rcd stand for?

Suggest you need a No2 Pozi drive screw driver not a Philips. using Philips will wear the driver and the screw head.

wtf man, almost blew out my ears with such loud music,WARNING DO NOT USE HEADPHONES!!!

We call them RCBO's...........

As a second year apprentice sparky, who regularly searches on RU-vid for videos like this, I'd like to let you know why your video isn't, for me, one of those rare how-to-sparky videos that you'd recommend to a class mate. Firstly, this is a rcbo- which is not the quite the same as a rcd. Rcbo is a both a breaker and a rcd. While a rcd is just that. Was hoping you would demonstrate what you need to know about adding a rcd to existing circuits, or how to link one or multiple breakers with one or multiple existing/new rcd. You spent almost 2 minutes explaining how a breaker Clips to a din rail and how to pull it out and what the mechanism does. If someone doesn't know what that is they probably shouldn't be rewiring any circuits. It's not what the student is here to see. And neither is showing fast forwarded scenes of someone preparing cables to terrible music. You gotta cut that. Your videos should around 7 minutes which they could easily be but you need to be far more succinct in your delivery. Write down exactly what you're gonna say and then read it out in a series of steps. Maybe you'd consider making a video considering the first point I made. You might was well call it "the seven steps of wiring/rewiring a rcd" Top marks for effort, but video needs to reduced to 7 minutes and needs more examples.

You give Electrical work a bad name. stick to singing JBJ

lets asume you've done good job//joke// - but in real life it will be NOT - this is just school level and realy low level lets asume --- if you do - to show this DO IT PROPERLY LIKE SHOLD BE

This is just bloddy dangerous no matter what the country is👎👎👎

I understand this is “schooling”. And you have spent the money to produce a video and willing to stand in front of a camera... Why do we not school properly. What country is this for? This is a very very average example of a board and a change over to an RCD.... When I school, I to try set standards, like mounting things level for starters. As one would know, apprentices are lazy. If I presented a board wired remotely similar to this to my tradesman back in the day, I would have been shown the door. My point in, training videos - FOR electricity, take the time, cut the video as required to use the resources and time to do it right, and neat. This isn’t hair dressing, the consequences of some hobo installing his own RCD and inserting the cable BEHIND the screw even though he tightened it fully - subsequently burning down his house due to a hot joint Is high.
