QLD switchboard upgrade 

Those joiners are neat as will look at them next time. Keep up the great vids mate.

No-one could better elaborate on perplexing contents than Ausie tradesmen . Always watcher-friendly and easy to follow , no wonder Australia is a great nation

Very interesting to watch. Thanks

Do you need to have the metering box on the outside of the wall ? can it be inside out of the weather ?

Hi Trev what brand screwdrivers are them black and white ones mate? That extra long flat head looks sick 👌

Awesome video mate, so when you're Meggering your ccts at the end of the video have you just got the alligator clip on the earth bar or for each individual cct? Also sounds stupid but when you use the f set to find a cable and it shorts out, does that mean there's a short or a load on it?

Wicked video

Not trying to be an ahole, but will probably accomplish that task, but when Meggering on 250 v scale, ir reading is half the indicated reading , according to a friend 😅 (ie, 1.5 Mohm on scale is .75Mohm in reality). Nice vid btw

No wonder Australia is desperate for uk sparks to move to Australia.

Imagine the drama when all the climate warriors plug in their electric cars LOLOLOLOLOL Meter box doesnt have enough capacity, street transformer doesnt have enough capacity, substation doesnt have enough capacity, state grid doesnt have enough capacity...........

Wow so much different here in VIC, you have so much freedom to get the job done

Nice video! Commercial sparkie here.. 1) I never knew you could re install the metering (I thought the suppliers had to do it) 2) it looks super neat how you extended the cables. I usually use blue points (for existing solid) and inline crimps for stranded.. what did you use? They look like fixed wagos? Also those red wattmaster pliers are amazing..

Should have put some hair around that primary fuse holder for old mate😆 But on a serious note, lovely job mate👍

Gee that was painful, watching you knock those bricks out with a claw hammer. But everything else was a dream run and beautifully done. Good one Chief!

upvoted for the algorithm

What the p/n for those WAGO lever terminal blocks? I can’t find them.

why the heck they make them recessed into walls? they could just make them face mounted sturdy instead. that way you could change over to whatever new size and not have to deal with bricking. does code require recessing?

nice one cheers .... need a bigger hammer and grinder!! Old meter......

I just imagine big ass spiders hiding in those switch boxes.

Better than most 'upgrades' mate. No shoving an 8 pole enclosure in the old federal gap and walking away.

what a weird place for the fuse.......... very dangerous

super stoked, and super proud. Im not a fan of Voltex, but each to their own. Nice upgrade there mate.

That sidecutter! Poor little thing is longing for some oil and cleaning! Thanks for the video, interesting to watch!

That's actually epic work mate, well done!

Just curious, mate, was there a reason why chose parallel 4mm for the metering

Thanks mate

Thanks for the informative video. Is the meter upgrade then done separately? And is the preferred order first the switchboard, and then (smart) meter upgrade?

I’m just a boring commercial sparky but fuck me that’s a clean install compared to any other domestic board upgrades I’ve seen, love the wagos how good

Can you pull pole fuses in qld as a regular sparky, or do you have an endorsement/ higher qualification?

Nice job ! I need to get this done on my home in Logan , how much Am i looking to pay just a a rough ball park figure ?

Very neat, mate. Good stuff

Nice work, It's always a chore removing the old "wheat bix" backed enclosures with the friable asbestos fireproofed ceramic fuse load centres from 60s-70s brick veneer walls, that RCD enclosure mounted in the bottom isn't uncommon to find and is dodgy work at best. Definitely overdue for the much needed upgrade😊 I had a job recently where past lazy electricians just added a seperate 300mm X 300mm enclosure to one side for the 90s legislated mandatory RCD additions to tenanted residences instead of upgrading to a standard domestic consumer enclosure with hinged panel and seperate load centre, which is basically unchanged from the 80s. I do prefer the new Hager enclosures with the twin 12 pole load centres and a six pack cheaper than the B&R unit old school DIN rail with metal escutcheon panel.

i would never let you work on my house

where are the inline connectors from? They look neat!

How do you do ya polarity tests?

Wear your gloves young boy 😊

Nice work

Nice work. How did you mount those wagos?

Nice devices!

What are those connectors with orange levers called?

what size cable takes those rcd neutral from the busbar back up to the neutral link? i havent use one of those combination line and neutral bus bars
