I think i mess this board up? - Electrician 

I do the same mate especially with these Schneider boards, only problem I find with them is looming the earths having a 100x100 trunking above works a treat

Agreed, could have put the cables closer

I always put metal trunking top and bottom that way plenty of space for more armoured’s and stops having to drill into a live board

Would have to disagree ! Not here for anyone else , I’m thinking of my responsibility and reputation not others - and how difficult or easy I like the job to play out ! If the next guy is in a tough spot because of my good work unfortunately that is tough! He’s not paying for my time the customer is.

@@dangranet7621 bet your works total dogshit with that kind of attitude, considering maintenance and additions to work is part of the regulations

@@dangranet7621 🤦🏼‍♂️ you wouldn’t last long on a site then with bad moves like that.

Agree. Idiotic spacing of cables.

I agree. A bit time consuming and unnecessary. As long as the conductors are suitability terminated then it's satisfactory. DB is very neat though, great job. 👍

Agree it isn't strictly necessary. Often ferrels aren't "manufacturer approved" for stranded cable either... But they will make the termination last longer if the cable is going to be re-inserted several times in its lifespan (e.g. EICRs). Sometimes it's the little (unnecessary) touches that separate a good job from a top quality job 😉 ...Not saying I'd bother though, in most cases 😂

Eaton superior design imo certainly I terms of the casing as you have a removable top and bottom plate for access. Scneider casing is dogshite in comparison. Schneider dB inside however I prefer the earth at the top gives more room down the side of the breakers as its only live and neutral so gives 33% more room! Eaton casing with schneider internals would be the perfect commercial DB imo.

It’s not the only thing that’s “pissed” though. I’d say 98% of irelands population is.

they weren't mate, didn't realise about the sliders til after trying to test

@@NBundyElectrical Yellow thing on top of board is for moving them over ;) different world I guess to you I'm having same issue doing domestic mainly cable routes I find a nightmare.

I thought he said he was going to remove the cable ties

100% no need as got separate earth core!!

Friday night - down the pub.

Should only use on flex

ferrules just help with keeping all the strands together so you can insert easier + some strain relief.

@@dimitar4y hi yes I know what ferrules are used for, I use them myself. I only meant that they should not be used on this type of stranded core cable

@@RobertLow18 doesn't matter since the conductors will be crushed by the terminals. Again, it's to keep the few strands together. when you flex the cable there's a good chance they'll go out of alignment and piss you off.

@@dimitar4y yes I know it’s to keep the strands together, I am an electrician and use ferrules regularly. But they shouldn’t be used on this type of cable

efixx did a really good video going into the nuances of what cable classes you can/should use ferrels on. Basically, most ferrels are type tested on flex (class 3), a few are type tested on stranded (class 2). It comes down to manufacturers instructions and engineering judgement. Ferrels are pretty much required for flex in screw terminals, because there's a good chance of the screw damaging the flex strands. But there's no hard and fast rules on stranded. Some argue that they don't do any harm if the terminal will "crush" the cable anyway, since it's effectively "extra" crimping. The counter argument is that (depending on crimp brand), they may not be type tested for stranded cables. But BS7671 only tells us to _consider_ manufacturers instructions, not to follow them as gospel. We are entitled to use our engineering judgement. Whilst ferrels aren't required on stranded conductors, they do still do a good job of holding all the strands together. Often you see strands spreading out (e.g. as cables are dressed into a box), causing the connection to loosen. This is less likely when ferrels are used. So there is some benefit, even if it's not the main intended use of the crimps. I wouldn't recommend using crimps that aren't type tested against the cable class your using unless you are going to further compress/crush the connection... E.g. with a screw terminal or cage clamp.

I’m amazed how many ppl want to see a 10 year old van ? 😂

🤣

Missing. 😀

Artisan electrics v nick bundy electrical fuse board wire off who's quicker and who's looks better. Could be dummys side by side (the boards I meant)
