Fusebox Install & Review - do they live upto the hype...? 

I'm a new subscriber and this was awesome thank you please do as many as these as you can I learnt more from this video than a year in college real life work. 👍🏻

Nice review great spark.

I like that you've got more pride and taking your time even in your own house because your treating it like it was another customers CU change it adds a little touch which is mostly missed out

Great video, the fusebox boards are great, quality and price is hard to beat. The tail glands I buy have a removable adapter ring from 40-32mm.

Regarding drilling out a 32mm hole to a 38mm hole you can use a 32mm male bush with a lockring and use a 38mm cutter to drill through.

Is that a gap between the the metal blanks? Those labels look top 👍

Nice job. As an adult learner these videos and pro tips are a great help. As far as nicking the incoming live tail at 30:30 a wise man once told me that the sign of a quality tradesman is "doing the right thing when no one is looking". Will you be following up with a video on testing the board?

Great vid mate I do the same with the meter tails putting them in first, I would highly recommend using flexi meter tails 10x easier 👍🏻

Hi there, the isolating switch between the meter and the dist boards should be in a metal encloser as part of the 18th edition regs amendment 3.

Was that the bus bar and the tail from the meter into the the same incomer switch terminal?

Are you using type Ac or type A breakers

I don't think any CU comes with a 40mm knockout, I use a cone cutter to enlarge the 32mm hole to a 40mm hole.

The only thing that I would say is that you need to keep the tails as short as possible when using a SPD. Other than that, I'd say I would be well happy as a customer if that was the standard of work done at my house.

A word of advice try and mark the cables so that other electricians can fault if there is an issue.

Why do people still use those horrendous meter glands? The wiska grommet glands are the bolux

I have used a few of these boards and they are ok, theres plenty of space in them and their main plus point is the cost, if you think the mini rcbo`s are bad look at those arc fault devices, they have shrunk from a twin module to a single one plus with the rcd inside as well. I impressed you test your house, mine hasnt seen my tester in 10 years since the extension went up, except for the other day when scotish power dropped the neutral and i had dim lights everywhere.😂

Fair play being honest about the consumer unit covers not fitting. I’ve done that a few times on jobs ha ha

An EICR should be carried out before a board change anyway, it's recommended in the guidelines

The Penguin thing sounds like an example of the Mandela effect.

Is David price an electrician?

We used to always have the person first then the penguins

You have a socket just for your wood shaping machine 10.53

2:05 that sir is very true and annoys the shot out of me. And why I have unsubbed from a number of sparky channels. Let's continue and see if you get my sub..

He sound like Jamie Charragher.

Heat is not an issue with compact rcbo. considering 99% of the rcbo arent heavly load even a 40a is not loaded for a long enough time for heat to be a issue, as you stated there all BS rated and designed with dissipating heat considered. i know its all down to what you been taught, but i was taught and we teach that whenever you connect a fuse board you should always have enough slack to enable a circuit to be connected from one end of board and easily moved to other end, all your circuit appear to have no slack, IMOH

The sync seems to be off.

Re time index 40 mins. Customers EICR trust. Usually not much of that! In my experience electricians always want to put in a new consumer unit even though the BS standards are not retrospective. Had an electrician who identified no RCD on lights, coded it C2 mandatory (rather than C3 advisory which would be how Electrical Safety First - Best Practice Guide would have coded it) and then wanted to charge £950! Well outside the upper limit for this work. Needless to say I got someone cheaper to do the work. Electricians stop ripping us off by claiming unnecessary work. Haven't decided whether to give this person a review yet which is the only penalty I can exact for this sort of behaviour.

Are you a scouser?

Do I smell something ? A open PC with a fault present between the property & sub but not in the property . May trip a rcd but the rcd doesn't open the protected conductor . SO THE RCD IS JUST A FAULT INDICATOR NOT PROTECTION ! All the p c ( grounds ) will have the fault voltage on them with all the current the fault can pass ! Just food for thought .

Brilliant vlog chap 👍 Hope your staying safe in Wales 😂 Fuses Box cheap for a reason. I hope the world changes and values non Chinese equipment. I don’t want to support the capital of Corona 19 Virus.

So if you have installed a new consumer unit and it's tripping, then we might have to spend hundreds of pounds extra? OK got it.

Get to the point for Christ sake man.
