Yes folks, that's *the Sam Smith, local builder of renown here in Leamington Spa, and this is part one of... well, possibly more parts.
A bit scattershot this one, some content was lost thanks to my expensive new wireless microphones choosing to pack up part way through recording some scenes. To answer your questions: Nige was dancing to a load of loud shite being played on the builder's radio, so I had to edit in some copyright free music to avoid RU-vid taking down my poxy little video in case Eric Clapton should phone up in tears because of Nige boogying to his noise on Radio bloody 2. Oh, and nobody could remove the trapped tape measure, so Sam had to cut it off and leave it as a laughing point for the next guy who rips up that floor and finds it.
My phone ringtone? Ah, yes, that's a composite I made from the two alarm sounds from the Nostromo ship in Alien as it primes for self destruction: the siren and the klaxon. Annoys everyone, but I like it.
There's a lot of bad language and bum-cracks in this one, sorry. I did edit out some burping though, so at least there's that.
What's that? You expected a different Sam Smith?? Well how many of 'em are there??

Broken ring. Try this. Plug a load in one socket and establish a LN pair. Unplug temp load. Take the L and the other N and connect to breaker. Take the N and other L and connect to Neutral busbar. So now 'half'the ring is reverse polarity. Take socket tester to each socket in the ring and find where the polarity swaps over. Broken ring - take two (after going to bed) If L1-L2, N1-N2 & E1-E2 are not rings, next tests are: N1-Nbusbar, N2-Nbusbar, E1-Ebusbar & E2-Ebusbar To examine the possibility that the wires/circuits are rings but their other ends are connected to a different breaker. NICE ! Do not assume cos it's neat, it's been done by a competent electrician ! A good electrician would tag each wire/cable with a circuit number ferrule - wouldn't they ? :)

@@dsesuk Well, you've got the loose ends handy already and it'd save taking loads of sockets off the wall to inspect wiring - not that that's a bad thing - just a pain in Nige's crack. I've updated that comment with the suggestion the two rings could have their other ends share another breaker. Sparky's just miss-paired the ends. Interesting result though - 2 rings with a pair of 32A breakers - giving 64A on both rings. This'll be the in-wall heating as well as under-floor. Now you know why the g/f has a sprinkler system - all the wood in them floors! As for the tape measure - thought you could have used flexi spy cam to see what it was stuck on !

Be interested to see if it is a crossover of 2 different rings on 2 different circuits. I have seen this before. I know there are some good tips on finding that out but fir ease I would say just turn off the circuit in question (with the rest of the board live) and martindale it, that way it will remain live with the other leg coming from another mcb. If it's a crossover 2 breakers would need isolating

Hi Greg. I'd try to site it close to the CU and somewhere that leaves it visible for future inspection but where it's not likely to be damaged or disturbed. I would use a 16mm earth wire to keep the resistance as low as possible. A flower bed may be an option, and we saw such in our recent domestic EICR video, but you'd want to ensure it's not likely to be damaged by someone swinging shears and spades around and that there are no nearby large trees or bushes whose roots may push it up over time.

Hi dave can you use 221 wagos in the mf joint boxes??
@dsesuk
@dsesuk 5 лет назад
He Steven. I saw CJR's video on that one too! Chris is right in that the current Wagobox instructions don't list the 221's, but I don't know if it's just out of date. I've just tweeted Wago and Connexbox, so we'll see what they say!

@dsesuk 5 лет назад
From the horses mouth: Our Wagobox 221 series adapters should be used when using @WAGOLimited 221 4 series connectors with the WAGOBOX or WAGOBOX XLA to ensure compliance with BS EN 60670-22. Our new WAGOBOX 221-4 is specifically for 221 4 series connectors. There's a PDF on it here: www.wago.ltd.uk/media/wago_ltd_uk/product/enclosures/wagobox_inserts.pdf

I think the trip time (with regard to 0800 numbers) on your phone needs a look at...my phone is down to about 1 nano second...in fact I don't even have time to answer the call..ha.. Does it cause you concern that reducing a ring to two radials still leaves an open end buried somewhere...possibly? The "RAW" style videos are the best really...as they genuinely show, the day to day stuff that actually goes on...and not the polished up version of events..Cheers.

My flat has more circuits than necessary. I mean, after ten years of living here I dtill can not fathom why the two double outlets both have their own 16amp breaker. I live in a little one bed flat, why were they not just added to the existing ring? Also they were not labeled on the fusebox, it's just lucky I CHECK things are dead and not assume. It's not the first time I have come across a fuse box done by a qualified electrician that has been improperly labeled.

A lot of circuits is a good thing really as it limits the effect of a fault, but they need to be organised, logical and labelled to be of use.

It's a shame to see something so flash coming out, but to be fair, under the hood it wasn't so good. A lot of it was never plumbed in properly, so was water damaged and leaking. We won't be replacing the consumer units, we'll uprate the RCD's, but our duties there are otherwise minor alterations, moving and adding accessories to existing circuits.
@benbradbury3665
@benbradbury3665 5 лет назад
Should a new consumer unit be labelled with the installer details ? Is there any reg on it?
@dsesuk
@dsesuk 5 лет назад
An excellent question Ben. Reg 514.12.1 requires the inspection and testing label to be affixed, and any new installation or retrofit consumer unit shouldn't be going live without full inspection and testing of all final circuits, but that label is, in my opinion, woefully unfit for purpose as it only requires inspection dates, not an installer ID or certificate/report reference number which my stickers also include. Part 6 lists the requirement for certification, and for that certification to be signed by skilled persons, but other than that identification on the certificate, no other identifiable details are required to my knowledge. I would think that any diligent installer who does this as their profession would be happy, even proud to slap on a label with their details. Where it's missing, I always suspect it's a duff job, either by a non-electrician, or by someone saving on the pennies by not providing the paperwork.
