Wouldn’t it be better to fit a outside fused spur instead of the whiska box so they could isolate it and it could then have more than one socket fitted in the future.
Guys.... 1st time on your channel (plumbing and heating engineer )...love the content but especially the dynamic between you & Adam.. Keep up the good work... PS.... Ever thought about becoming a Danny Dyer impersonator??
I like your videos please continue . NB: min 25:21 , correct me if I'm wrong but if the temperature increase the conductor resistance increase by default . thanks again for sharing you experiences .
Great video! Im doing my electrician course at the moment and looking to do stuff to my house first and this is very helpful. Keep up the great work buddy.
Thats not a new installation that would be an alteration to an existing installation as you are making an addition to an existing circuit (Even just a minor works certificate would be fine)... Also that socket you came off, I could be wrong but it looked like there was 3 cables in the back of it, I would hazard a guess its a ring plus a spur, you just added another spur, if you check you are only allowed to spur off once from each point, you have spurred twice. I could be wrong as we didn't see the final job, I always put a fcu for outside sockets as you know eventually everything outside will leak, having a fcu or 20A double pole switch allows you to isolate the outside socket so the RCD could be reset, you could put this next to the existing socket an extend one leg of the ring so the fcu is on the ring, then the existing spur is ok and your fcu is on the ring so you are not spuring twice from a single point, apologies if you did this and just didnt explain it.. IMO you should not have been doing EICR's without the 2391, its the best way to prove competency in law...
great comment, thank you. Yes 2391 proves competency but having 2391 doesn't prove that you will test correctly as many don't bother and do about 6 EICR's a day
Anyone with the skill , knowledge and competence can do an EICR. There is nothing in 'law' that says otherwise. As mentioned, even someone that does not have the 2391 can turn out a crap 'drive by' EICR. Confidence in your work is key not the qualification.
@@ef7480 Yep, unfortunately that is correct.. However if something goes wrong and you will be required to prove competence, the person with the 2391 will be in the dock a lot shorter time that the person without it.. 2391 I agree does not mean you will do a good job but its a difficult course to pass if you don't know what you are doing..
So have u extended the Ring for the outside socket or did you just come of a socket inside 😅for outside? I hope not 😅😅😅😅 you might have just messed up the RF circuit 😢😢😢
