Here’s why Electrics are Better in Norway | ØY03 

What a nice change Cory. You're a good lad and clearly a very talented electrician. Really enjoyed visiting Norway with you.👍👏

Hi Cory, Norway uses the IT earthing system - the consumers appliances are connected to an earth rod ala TT but there is no utility provider connection to earth - there is essentially no fault loop to test - RCDs are used for protection instead almost entirely - the concept of using a low resistance path to clear a ground fault by allowing the case to short to ground just isn't in their book. In ways this is a safer system as the earth is not used as a conductor anywhere, which can in some cases cause people to get hurt - the only reason we used an earthing system with a bond to neutral (TNCS) to clear faults is because overcurrent devices were cheaper than RCDs and it meant the provider didn't have to run a dedicated ground either to do so. But to be honest, the TT and IT systems are probably better now with the advent of universal RCD. TT combined with universal RCD use would probably be the safest, as the RCDs would limit the shock hazard of using the earth as a conductor anyway. The only drawback to Norway's system is that a ground fault is nigh on impossible to find!

Mate your channel is a joke honestly your changing the RU-vid scene in a awesome way I love the approach. Full respect. I feel like I don’t want to upload recently due to my content being the same as everyone else’s. I need to find my own path that I enjoy. I feel like you’ve done that perfectly

Cory,I am not an electrician but I have recently been watching a few of your videos and enjoy them very much. On the point of conduit for domestic use,in all my houses (late 1920/early 1930) there has been a type of egatube metal conduit. Although this is a press steel formed tube it gives a better protection than plastic. My daughter has recently had a new kitchen and the electrician clipped the cable to the wall. If errors occur when putting shelves up it’s a major job to replace wiring (tiles removed,chiselling out,plastering etc). In conduit it’s simple and may not happen in the first place due to the steel. So from a customers point of view bring back the sensible conduit protection.

That looks absolutely fantastic over there. Thank you for sharing mate. 👍

Love the videos cory! Such a great personality and outlook on life for such a young man! Keep up the the great content!

Loving the series so far mate, one day you'll have to come see how the Aussies do it ;)

Lovin the channel. Keep up the good work. Result. 👍🏻👍🏻💪🏻

Cory is the man, may the channel continue to grow stronger and stronger. Much better then that fake artisan showman sh*t. keep it up bro

Bee good to see how they do the documentation for the houses. Think having notes on where JB’s are would save so much time.

The breaker you isolated is a double pole Line and Neutral not 3 phase, more likely the breaker too the left which is 4 pole ✌️

Awesome video as expected :D Looking forward to the next video!

Awesome video Cory! Hmmm, going to Hawaii? I'd love to see you come down under to Sydney, Australia. Cheers

enjoyable seeing how electrics are done in other countries, but nothing in this video shows Norway doing things better then the UK lol

Cinematic bangers

Really good content fella.

Come to the US

Norway is one of best countries in world. Better economy and way of living than UK. We have better universities but they probably beat most other things. This channel will blow up to 1 million plus subs, make you wealthy and leave Artisean farts in the dust :)

Hi bro the best football team in the world is Liverpool FC 👍👍👍👍

Cory you have nailed it if RU-vid Electricians in the UK are to survive (there are only so many board changes you can watch) then they seriously need to change the type of content they are putting out it will be interesting to see what the Norwegian Electrician makes of UK working practices

Love what you're doing Cory. Really interesting approach. Something different. Well done mate.

Being from the U.S. it's awesome seeing how other places do electrical. Also Chicago requires by code steel conduit in homes.

tip. drill a small pilot hole when your drilling concrete with a less powerfull drill then you drill the bigger hole on one side half way through then meet it in the middle on the other side no blow out evey time

Nice video. The pre wired flexible conduit whe often use in the Netherlands is called Preflex, and is made by a Belgium company. If you prepare it well enough, not a single cable or wire needs to be pulled. Even switch wires, data, thermostat wires, doorbell, or cable tv, all in pre wired conduit

Thanks so much, not an electrician but I love this. I can tell you’ve put alot of effort in. How you don’t have a million views on this already I don’t know. ( For the future record I am here at 28k subs )

Cory I’m an electrician on the Isle of Wight in the UK….. the standard here is awful and by watching your videos and your old ones (artisan) it’s chAnged how I work and for the better!! I’d love to invite you down here to get some help on the job etc!

What a great video! I'm not an electrician but I'm enjoying following your journey. Really interesting video- love the editing and some of those shots you managed to get in such a beautiful country!

In Denmark everything is 3 phase as well, but in older buildings it's common for the mainboard to only be wired for 2 phase - which used to be the standard supply up until the mid-1960s or so. Even though the supply up to the meter has been upgraded to 3 phase everywhere, the 3rd phase will not be wired into the board unless everything after the board is rewired for it.

Nice video, Corey. Here in Holland they put what you call the consumerunit always near bij the frontdoor because when theres a fire they can shut off the system when they (firemen) enter a house. Its not allowed to put it under a cupboard or put it in a place where you can't find it. its all regulated. and also the educationsystem for electricians. Again, like the videos. For me a new approach of video making on YT. Like it very much.

If UK electrics suck you'll have a heart-attack if you ever saw USA electrics...

I might as well quit now 😢 Absolute mint video dude ❤🎉

It's almost same here in Finland. That consumer unit is maybe made in Finland, at least looks like ABB breakers. Also notice mixed Eaton/ABB/Hager devices in the consumer unit

5 seconds in , already a great video Cory 😂

Really interesting and engaging content. It's like watching those travel vloggers but with more purpose behind it.

Mate pop in to Poland 🇵🇱 and see Advanced home systems,We had over voltage protection (Uk Spd )since 2000 or earlier, rcds also quite long time. Our cables got all ready sleeve on the earth, similar to flex in uk. Nice video 🔌🤘🏻 take care 🐥

Loving this style of content, so incredibly interesting and yes, I’d love to buy your merch, the Scandinavian shirt looks great

You're sorely missed on Artisan Electrics. I have had to unsub from them as I just dont enjoy their content when you're not in it.

Mate, been so looking forward to this for 2 weeks! 16:48 22:55 😂😂 😂😂 YES, definitely murch, I'm in, the design is fantastic!! BTW, production values are Ace bud, they will only get better. Only suggestion, audio is everything, so mic everything if you can _(I work in audio)_ You're having a ball, best thing you ever did Cory 🤗👍. This video made my day.

Brilliant very funny and very interesting cheers Cory 👍🏻 PS off to watch another board change in the UK😂

Cory please for my eyes sake remove the hammer mode a bit before you get to the other side. That concrete breaking is ugly as hell. Other then that great video.

Absolutely brilliant video Cory, great to see how other countries do things…..looks an amazing place aswell….can’t wait for the next video

Personally, I don’t think hydropower is an environmental thing in this case. It’s simply it’s very viable and cost-effective when the power plants last ages. With renewable energy the issue is changing immediately can be bad because the minute you’re replacing things so much carbon is being released that it may take 30 to 40 years for that to be removed. It is worth knowing that the way the distribution board is could definitely be installed in the UK and there are lots of options available but the main reason my in awkward places is terribly designed new built or really old buildings. Electricity was retrofitted so awkwardly under the stairs would have to happen. I do believe in Norway though there is a bit of ripping apart walls for a rewire if the properties been done before a certain egg with conduit if there’s been a regulation change that means it had to be run differently now

I'd kill someone for US Residential 3-phase. Lol It's damn near impossible to make happen here. You have to live close enough to 3-phase distro which they don't typically run into residential zones and then pay a MASSIVE fee to have your service upgraded by the power company. Something that I could do or hire out for significantly less. We use rotary phase converters and VFDs when we need 3-phase in our homes or home-shops.

Please can you start up a separate channel where you take calls from The Amazon? Waiting in anticipation :)

The best way to make pre-wired conduit in the UK has to enroll the length on a long space if you can find one somewhere even if it’s offsite and then pull the wires through the conduit and forward them over at the end and it’s like the pre-stuff when you put it through, but it’s so much easier to do it then

Hi Cory, This video had it all .Scenery, Wildlife, food ,beer, even Gretta for God sake. Its great that you are highlighting how things are done in other countries and the different requirements ,regulations and skill levels. it seems that that code reforcement is lax while litigation when damage is caused is the only determiner of who does quality installation and who wants to make a fast buck. Great questions asked and answered . Adrian thanks for the imput. If the tug boats had pulled from Dover do you think Scotland would have smashed into Norway as they pulled the island out into the Bay of Biscay. ? Just asking. Cory your a Classic. "I buy Shampoo and all my Groceries at the Amazon"!!!

Norwegian in Manchester here, from Stavanger as well, so of course recognised the Rasmussen Elektro van! Nice to finally see this comparison! I feel UK is only now catching up, boards like you see there we had probably 30 years ago. Would love a special issue t-shirt !

Great film Cory, still the best, streets ahead of all the rest. Well done, I look forward to the next episode, brilliant, regards, Chris. 👍👍👍

Not quite accurate. Self certification can be done through the local authority avoiding CPS schemes/scams

Quick note about Norway's electrical system! We have TN, TT and IT systems, we normaly have a IT and TN system, but Rogaland(Stavanger) have most of the TT systems. All houses usely have 3 phase 230V (IT and TT) or 3 phase 3 phase 400V (TN) :) Very good video mate! Really neat work also! Love it!

I tired being a sparky in the UK but I couldn’t become net positive as I always use conduit and I don’t do rings!! I went back to IT we’re I can actually make money without taking shortcuts.

A bit of a suggestion, when you replace talking with music, make sure they are the same volume, I hate having to lower the volume when music starts just to increase it again once the song is over.

Stavanger has a footy team called the Vikings, and a big stadium where they play

I was interested to see what items of test equipment were used in Norway. It was quite surprising to see a young guy like Adrian using an analogue tester rather than a digital model. The Kyoritsu 3132A that he has was sold in the UK as a Robin K3105. Robin branded testers had rather less 'busy' (plainer) front panels than their Kyoritsu equivalent models and most were yellow (although not the K3105). Robin/Kyoritsu also made a version of the SA9083 generic test meter for the telecoms industry (aka ballistic testing) that looks very similar to the K3105. When Fluke bought Robin they discontinued all the rebranded Kyoritsu testers so Kyoritsu created the Kewtech (Kyoritsu Electric Works) brand for the UK market.

Ive done 3 barn conversions in france and they use pre filled conduit so easy to wire up take a look at the french regs.

Nice video Cory granted some recording issues but bound to happen starting out on your own. Content wise really good, would be interesting to see what you have coming next and where your travels might take you.

Did you switch off a 1 phase breaker to disconnect a 3 phase socket? 😂

4 pole breaker, 3 phase circuit then trips a 2 pole breaker 🤦‍♂️ is that the mistake?

Come to Australia (Sydney) spend a day with an Electrician (Me)....its a business trip for you 🙂

You are the best can’t stop watching your videos👍👍👌👌👌learning alot from you

5:30 4mm = 25A in most real european countrys 🤣😂🤣 ( also in Belgium . 6mm we can do 32/40A MCB )

Great video mate , it’s got “Scott brown carpentry “ vibes awesome 👍 if your ever in north wales and need some work let me know 🤘

Most Norwegians are Liverpool fans.

My dear Cory, I love your channel but your handywork needs improving on certain non-electrical tasks. For example. To avoid blowing a crater on the back of the wall, take your drill off hammer just before you break through.

Absolutely brilliant Cory. One of the best RU-vid videos I’ve seen in a very long time! Keep up the great work. Unfortunately we have no Pringles left to offer, they got popped!!!

It's like that in more countries not just Norway. Maybe you should rename the video "Why Electrics is shit in in England" ;).

Are you planning to sell your merch? I Love that t-shirt 😅

Cory I’m so sorry I hit the dislike 👎🏻 by mistake please ignore 😂 I’ve now “liked” great video!! More like this

Umm. Oil is not retrieved from dead dinosaurs

Cory!!! You blew out the brick on the inside. Run a small pilot and drill from both sides. C&G level 1.

As a simple homeowner I’d be kind of pissed if an electrician made a mess with a load of silicon and dust on a concrete blow out. Much rather they just mention the mistake, I wouldn’t mind, and could make good myself later on.

Is this just 63 or 100 amp at the house with more for the whole property? I ask because new residential properties in the US are being spec’ed with a minimum of 200 amp 240V single phase (old ones were 100 amp). Some bigger places are even getting 400 amp service, but that’s expected to support the whole property (a shop, barn, etc) and not just a house.

In Hungary we have conduit in walls for decades. In the old days they used aluminium wires which are still in a pain to work with. We doing few new builts here and most of the conduit are running in the floor under the underfloor heating pipes. I worked in the UK and the BS7671 is not that bad as most people think compering with our standerd. Add Hungary to your travel list and I can show you some interesting stuff in here😀 Keep up the good work with this channel its gonna be the best electritian show on YT.

Awesome video! It looks alot like a danish install 😁😁🇩🇰🇩🇰

Stop using the hammer drill right before exiting the wall on the other side and use drilling only. No blowout

Irish regs also specify height regulations on fuse boards 😊👍🏻

winters nearly here fella get some hoodies out so i can rock your gear and stay warm

In Scotland we still do real apprenticeships and your ether qualified or your a labourer I was amazed when I worked in London how meany guys aren't qualified but tell you they are

this type of content is ace!

Someone is over achieving here 😅

I done a short course and i would say it's definitely rushed and very intensive, you still have exams to pass it's not a walk in the park and there's a insane amount to learn in such short time. Experience is was more important than qualifications.

Are you planning to offer shipping to Australia for shirts? Cheers

Quality video, from a fellow adventurer and soon to be spark in the UK, this content is great!

We went on a cruise that dropped into Stavangar in August - hope you enjoyed the oil museum :) Great to see something different - keep up the good work!

Did you say Brexit was good idea ? Did you have work permit while in Norway . As EU citizen you dont .

The best I've watched in youtube this is class

I love this type of videos! I hope you can make more where you visit electricians in other countries and see what's different etc. Very interesting video!

Cory loving your content! Good to see you doing well

Yes Adrian. Liverpool FC. YNWA

I put conduit everywhere in my house when we gutted and rebuilt it. Trouble is, I listened to electricians who insisted it wasn't necessary so missed a few areas. But, when one came to do my kitchen extension, he exclaimed "Electrician's dream" - all he had to do was pull cable through - he still did a sloppy job and I had to work out what was wrong and fix it. I also have access points at strategic places in the floor - office hives, I think they're called - the sparks I've had (reputable, registered, recommended) wondered what they are because they haven't done offices - all though it was a good idea. Means I can run CAT5 and CAT6 cable in separate conduit to separate faceplates

Awesome new upload! Look forward to the next episodes. Very interesting watching your progression and learning various techniques! Loved the comment on grabbing hold of Dover with boats!! 🤣 Keep up the great work Cory!

Your videos are awesome Cory - keep up the good work! - I am looking to have an EV charger installed soon... Is North Bristol (South Glos) too far for you to travel?

Raising the standards mate! But I do have 1 complaint… 2 weeks it’s just too long to wait

Absolute fantastic video Cory. Love it that you make mistakes just like everyone in life. Love it that you do things differently. Need to balance it out with life as we need more songs released. Love the duet with Saskia. Maybe because she has the same name as my daughter 😂. Keep it up mate. Can’t wait to see more. J

Short course/scam

As you can see all the European wiring systems use double pole circuit breakers for single phase wiring, so polarity is never an issue. They don't do ring final circuits which cause more problems than they solve. I also like the fact Norwegian sparks don't have to take responsibility for anything the DNO has fucked up previously. To say the UK is unregulated isn't specifically accurate, we all have a duty of care under the Electricity at Work Regulations. If you screw up and someone gets hurt, the EaWR regs will send you to prison, well the courts will when you have to face the HSE.

Great episode Cory. The alpha male 😂😂😂

also if you ever want to travel to the USA you can work with me anytime. I will show you the beautiful rainbow river as well

Feil: Du isolerte fra bryter 4 i stedet for 3. There you go ;)
