Fitting A FuseBox Fuse Board for the first time EVER! | Thomas Nagy 

Yeah. I wouldn't like to have my back destroyed by caring heavy objects around.

Brilliant

Outstanding comment!

What you talking about? 15:41

Yep plus she's pretty bloody good on the tools n easy on the eye.

True, and you can't have the basic insulation exposed which is very common with the pyro installs I've seen! And there's never enough space to make it right. 16mm tails buried in the wall is a bit iffy though! SWA, galv trunking, or galv conduit would have been my solutions.

Assuming your install in RCD protected, I'd say it is not required. Even if it is, the metal of the boiler will effectively bond these pipes together. It's an interesting topic when we consider plastic pipe in the house. Say a bathroom towel rail is supplied by a section of plastic. Should it be bonded or not?

Maybe, but do they just work?

Run YY cable, happy days.

be a fair bit of faff terminating though tedly

You are correct unless it’s in trunking

@@tobysherring1369 yeah, crazy. Done thousands of apartments like it, then all of a sudden it's a no!

Same, 145ms just last week

had a crabtree type A RCBO at185 the other day brand new

the app is really just there to tell the heating system when you're home or not. after a while, it will get to know and adjust to your schedule, turning on when you're indoors, switching off when you're out, pre-heating when you're on your way home. you could also disable the passageway thermostat dial (e.g.) if kids keep faffing with it. if you've got a voice speaker, you could get clever with automations and stuff too I guess, having the thermostat automatically drop a few degrees when your SO is out of the home to save some ££. for the majority of people though, they'll be fine with a normal old thermostat, seeing that these usually cost between £150-£200

Looks like a Bosch GKS 12V-26 (85mm blade).

WTF?

LOL

I love the stats that the UK buys more convertibles per capita than the rest of Europe. Now *that* is wishful thinking

LOL I thought that too 😂

@@stevep8773 But if you ever had one, you would know that they are just fine in winter too. :-)

Yeah called being lazy

Plumber doing anything for the easiest. So much better doing the entire install yourself, get the cable entry spot on then.

i know it's in the amnesty international shop but the plumber really does deserve to be violently flogged for that

He could of used the copper push fits much nicer and less bulky

I'm glad you are admitting to going to a gay pride rally.

Work smarter, not harder.

😂😂😂 Thats a little daft isn't it.. Breaking your back hauling shit to look good is a thing of the past mate.

Stuart Arnold Why? You got a problem with that?

8 weeks... 4 year apprenticeship cant be replicated in 8 weeks.

8 weeks!!!

pklelectrical how much did this cost

@@Saitek2716 Its not an apprenticeship, its just how to read and interpret the regs books

A 2.5mm² T&E (in the UK) has twin 2.5mm² condcutors and a 1.5mm² uninsulated CPC. The resistance is proportional to the diameter, and 2.5 is roughly 1.67 times greater than 1.5 (2.5/1.5=1.67) - that's where the "magic value" of 1.67 comes from.

because your live and neutral conductors are 2.5mm but cpc is 1.5mm, Divide 2.5 by 1.5 gives you 1.67, which is how much extra resistance the smaller 1.5 mm conductor should have. It also works for 4mm ring with a 1.5mm cpc but then you would times by 2.67, because 4 divided by 1.5 = 2.67

In a 2.5/1.5 twin and earth the earth is 1.67 times smaller, so it's resistance will be 1.67 times greater for the same length. Resistance is inversely proportional to CSA.

Charlie Snell line and natural are 2.5mm, CPC is 1.5mm. 2.5 divided by 1.5 is 1.67. the 1.5 mm cable has a higher resistance than the 2.5 due to it having a smaller surface area

The radiators you see are in a shop below the flat

People who sell mattresses have been perpetuating that claim.

which is why you wash your pillows and plump them on a regular basis!!

That's why he's fitted a switched fuse.

If you look closely you can see he has used a gland on the incoming tails . In the Uk the cables must be securely fixed and the IP rating of the fuseboard maintained to a set standard , A gland would be one method to achieve this along with others .

maybe it's a ploy to find demand levels before commiting to final test and acceptance costs? or it's underway still

They go via a switch fuse

Unless protected by a fuse pal...

My thoughts exactly

The tails depend on the area you're in and what your DNO stipulate. We have to provide your own overcurrent protection if the tails are over 3m and can't just rely on the DNOs fuse. Think it must be the same there which is why Tom was installing the switch fuse.

what do you think the switch fuse was there for

60A is the minimum in the Uk. We are so lucky.

Are domestic electric vehicle charging points not common where u are? You'd need a 60A supply minimum unless u wanted to wait 2 days to charge the car like.

Historically the high ratings were for space heaters and the like, but these days it's mainly electric car charging and electrically heated showers.

lol a 100 amp main fuse is barley enough for a single dwelling in the states(keep in mind that is per phase so technically thts 200 amps total power) -with evs we are having to go to 400 amps especially if they want duel chargers. my dwelling is a 100 amp and with electric dryer and hot water tank my avg monthly usage is 1000 kwh

@@AndyK.1 north america hold our ale 100 amp barely enough for single flat with 200 amp norm and tht per phase we have 2 phases (having to go bigger with e/v's ) lol
