Our A3 Radial Socket Circuit Tested for Continuity of CPC, Polarity and Insulation Resistance 

Great video, very clear and concise instructions and reasoning behind the test. What do we call you, you never give your name in any of the videos.

Learnt more in a week of binge watching your videos than a year at college

Hi, I have learnt more from watching your videos than I did at college. I've got my 2391 in a couple of days and have done one lesson. Can you point me in the right direction for 3 phase tests etc> Any help would be most appreciated! Thanks!

I would like to see a socket on there that you know is wrong - We can learn also from a wrong reading an how to find it. Not just only seeing how it should all be - Mr DID going to B&Q an buying a two way kit they used to sell then going I know how to do it all.

Clear, informative and very relevant for the next job in the workshop, cheers. 👍

Quality.Keep it up Gaz

Hi gaz, if the circuit was cross polarity, i.e in the fault finding exam, what readings would you expect? A closed circuit? Furthermore how would you rectify if! Thanks

Forgive me but when you indicate neutral and live on the socket outlet should the live be on the left ? Amazing tutorial

When's Sooty or Sweep going to pop out on the other hand from behind the board?

Great video gaz. Big help My practical tutor

If it s tns or tncs do you still need to do insulation resistance test between earth and neutral?

Holy shit! Do you have to do R1+Rn also? Thought it was just r1+r2

Thanks...great video by GSH You guys are amazing. I have learned a lot on inspection and testing videos.

Really helpful video great explanation u are quality lecturer

or, you could just invest in a martindale plug in test and save yourself a lot of time! Are these wondrous bits of kit actually deemed an acceptable form of testing CPC continuity and polarity for sockets though?

Great video gaz Came highly recommended from my practical tutor who thinks you're amazing btw

Have a good Christmas and I look forward to more informative videos in 2018.

Greatvas usual gaz.. Many thanks

Amazing video

When I made a test board back in the Mid 90's I put heating element's in to make it look like much longer wiring. Also a on the back was a socket were we plugged in a plug with just 1M 2M 500K resistors in with a rotary switch we had 3 ( one with Live neutral ) ( Live / Earth CPC ) ( neutral CPC ) that was for insulation testing - We would have a light switch to switch in and out on each L & N a heating element or just a long wire of 20 meters to make it look like a bit of a loos connection on the L or N only so one side would be a much higher test reading.

What did electricians do without this bit of test equipment before it came along. Was a multimeter good enough?

Hi Gaz, I wonder if you can help me. I have a length of twin and earth in a roof void. I think it may have a break in it. The cable is fixed so I can’t get to join it, but can get to both ends. Thanks.

You say you don't like the joint box which I agree with you. Just wonder what would be your favoured way if not teaching in a class room but in a real world scenario?

Good video. Informative and instructive. Narrative is 'a bit quick' though.

On my assessment for 2394/95 I have used a crocodile leads to zero tester leads plug , but knife looks much seriously ;-)

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Great demo Gaz. Thanks for he efforts. When u test the ir from neutral to earth you put it on both bars. On the screw that clamps down the circuit being tested but all the other circuit are in situ do how is that an accurate reading of the individual circuit neutral n earth? It seems like u would be testing the combination of all the circuit neutral to earths that way. Having said that if there were to be an issue of a low reading would u then pull them out to isolate them directly from.thr bars??

Hi Great explanation there. What is the max acceptable R1 + R2 value please

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙏 supper

How comes the left pin (neutral) is on the fuse and not the right one? (Plug test lead)

thanks for all the videos but don't make the excuse that you get a low resistance due to short cables. You're an electrician, go buy some resistors and start soldering them in.

This Channel has helped me loads, thank you!

Thank for the great videos. A simple question please help, why are you showing Live terminal on the socket plate located on the right handside? when we open a plug we see the live pin is located on the right handside, but when we plug it in, the live will be located on the sockets left terminal. isn't that how it is?

thank you sir

Excellent video...What does the term "A3" mean?

Very interesting and helpful 👍🏼👍🏼

Can u tell me what extent of electrical work a non qualified person is permitted to do. I e could I run all wire's to relevant place and connect sockets switches etc thank u

How many sockets can you have on a radial?

Hope your getting paid well merry xmas gsh👌
