    Out of curiosity, what size mcb or rcbo did you put in?

      @andrewkirk5252 6 месяцев назад

      it would have been a 20 A RCBO as a radial circuit.

      @@andrewkirk5252 A 40amp sauna would need a fuse slightly bigger, else it would trip all the time. Or was you trying to say that you put a 40 amp fuse going into the sub building from the house, and then put a sauna in that pulls slightly less than 20 amps? That would make sense

    • @andykirk5624
      @andykirk5624 Год назад

      If you are sure you have connected all conductors properly at the socket with sound contact to terminals. It may be the earth has fallen out or apart at another socket or no actual earth - Meaning although there are earth conductors they may not be an earth supplied to the building. The only real way to verify is to get a earth loop impedance tester, test other sockets first, other circuits and then if still no earth, the main incoming supply.

    Another dumbass fool who twists the earth conductors together, that is not good practice, it also increases the resistance of the earth conductors. Not a good demonstration.

      Thanks, your way is good as well, I like the way there are no breaks in the phase conductors. Not sure if you did but I wouldn't twist earths together at the feed in and out for testing ring main reasons. When we see earths twisted that tightly we don't test in case they break and this can lead to a unsatisfactory result.

    I’ve decided to chase all my walls out for my electrical contractor to run wires etc when the lockdown is over. I’ve chased up to one 25mm knock out with a view to running both cables through one grommet. Presumably this is fine then? As it looks similar on your example. Nervous as I’ve done 20 of them that way, and wondered why some do wider chases and use two knockouts vs one. Thanks for the video
