So i sit in 2 lectures with smart people with degrees teaching us on earthing and these tests for 3 hours and this guys sums it up in 5 min . Thank you
What make is it?
Nice, my hose bib at the washing machine should be similar but I will try tightening the packing nut first to see if that fix the leak, packing nut up sits on top of the arrangement I think, usa
Good man thank you
That is Awesome explanation for EV charger cable size and Voltage drop thanks a lot for your time
Hi Mike, how would you install the guard if the pipe work runs up externally? Would you cut the metal to make space for the pipe? Thanks for your help!
Your accent makes it very hard to follow.
If it has a drop of 4 mbar would you not isolate the appliances , carry out another tightness test to see if the leak is on the carcass and if it is cap the gas off?
this is a great day to come across my favorite page.
Thanks!
Great Vid. Does anyone know of any resources for practice exams of the multiple choice section please?
Hi, thanks. all in one details
Can you use closed-barrel pins?
This is the first but not las of your videos I have seen I have now subscribed. Can these inline connectors be used in a garage consumer unit?
Any more videos
Thank you for the video
Excellent Tutorial John very well explained . I did my LP gas course in Corby in 2016 and got my MP course in 2 weeks so this has helped loads
Sorry, but both are trash and a waste of money. Evidence: Metabo BS 18 LT BL or SB 18 LT BL (both also available in black SE special edition). Large modular self-supporting brushless motor (not like the competition, where the rotor bearing rests on the machine body), extremely massive-thick windings, very large cooling fan, complete metal gearbox housing (not visible from the outside), sintered planetary gears, which are all with needle bearings, grease in the gearbox with molybdenum-disulfide, head shaft with double ball bearings, high-quality metal chuck with lock, 75Nm, Made in Germany... in the SE version for just under €140 for the machine with the case here in the EU. ...absolute killer of everything in this price range. Of course, the LTX is even better, but this is a class for industry and craftsmen, and the LT is for home enthusiasts and craftsmen.
This was hilariously stupid. Probably £50 to over £100 difference in price between the Makita and Bosch. Both lack any real power for the price bracket compared to dewalt or Milwaukee. Plus they both will come with bigger batteries for in around £150
LOL
I dont believe thats how you do a Ze test on the kt63, its a 2 wire test on high current.
Jesus Christ, my ears! The presenter's voice was half as loud as the intro music.
Great easy explanation! Great vid 👍🏻
Great video can I ask has your voice been speedied up You sound fast mode like that plumberparts guy 😆
I would love to tell you it had, but it has actually been slowed down!
Brilliant video
Is installation diy?
Yes Carl had great time in Wakefield...lol miss the old days
I've had my boiler serviced 2 months ago, he emptied waste, and said everything was good, it's only just over 2 years old, but b4 he came and when he left it's still doing the same thing, it's flashing on 3.1 which is a fault mood on ,glow worm, betacom4 30c, he said don't worry about it, the worst thing that can happen is it'll just leak outside, do u think the inside theremast needs changed?
Our best advice is to get a Gas Safe Engineer round, if it is the temperature which is flashing - it is probably a thermistor fault.
Best video on this topic. You guys need to promote this channel better, All the best ❤
Good video

Excellent 👍 thanks
An important note about connectors that isn't pointed out in this video, there's only 1 true MC4 connector, now made by Stäubli. All other "MC4" connectors are "compatible", but even that is an exaggeration. You should only use connectors (or cables) from the same manufacturer in your setup because every connector, essentially the mating pins, has different tolerances so you will create resistance with your wires and will also create a potential fire hazard. So for safety and better efficiency, don't mix connectors from different manufacturers. It's also a good idea to use a crimping tool designed for the manufacturer’s connectors.
It is challenging, but def worth it - I hope! I've just finished Power week 1. It has been quite tough, a lot more work than I had anticipated, but the team at USG have been so supportive and helpful. I ran late with some of my coursework, and it was touch and go as to whether I'd be put forward for Gas exams, but with the support of my tutor (Tim Cowan) and others (including Faz, actually - thanks again John!) I just about made it through. Despite some struggles, I feel proud of myself, because this is totally outside my wheelhouse - I was previously a civil servant for most of my working life (I'm 43) and had virtually no experience of working with tools. If you're reading this and thinking of becoming a smart-meter engineer, I would encourage you to give it a go.
I wish we had videos like this in Australia. Here in Australia are regulations are so strict that there is very little on line information on doing virtually any electrical work, for example replacing an existing power point is illegal. By the way in Australia we do not have ring circuits. I do not know if they are even legal here. I am puzzled about how these testers actually do the test. They must sample a few cycles of the sine wave drawing no current and then place known load that draws a known current for say one cycle 20msec then get the voltage change and the using the definition of resistance come up with a measure of impedance. No wonder these testers are expensive you would need some clever software to do this and sturdy hardware.
Excellent demo lads well done thanks very much
3 weeks on and still not working. Email sent to ics. Not one bit of advice given. It's like they just do not care. Very disappointed
I connected via bluetooth, then setup the wifi. Took 10 minutes, all up and running. Just wish it was on the OVO compatible charger list, for now I just use the OVO app on the car.
iv had one fitted. unfortunately getting it to work is a nightmare. to the point where the fitter gave up and simply advised i contact their tech line. so i did but they simply gave me the wrong instructions. then after giving me the right ones, which are the same ones that came with the brand new charger. the instructions are not clear at all. the charger doesn't transmit a wifi or bluetooth signal. if you type in the gateway numbers it just says gateway to slow too respond.
What did you do to get it working?
I fitted a dumb charger. It's worked without fault. The ICS one is still on the wall doing nothing. 500 down the drain. @@TP-pv6mw
Does it say where it is manufactured?
At 1:10, the paperwork says the manufacturer address is in Manchester.
I am learning a lot of skills and would love to come and work in the uk
Great video, would add like she said. Always LDF the area as I have found on a number of occasions, the test has held but found a few leaks on the outlet union with LDF. Keep up the good Katie ! 👍
Hi
An approximate price for tools would have been a good idea. Enjoyed video nonetheless.
Can you do one testing a new regulator please testing for let by and lock up etc
"Extrenerous" 😂
Excellent explanation
Why does it say ten- it's supposed to be zero 👀
Probably testing it
Can’t tell if you are pushing in the top or bottom on each side
Hi , are smart meters considered same as ultrasonic e6 meters in terms of permissable drop of 8bmr <28mm in terms of domestic situations
Safety Glasses for doing that!!!! Do those particular connectors deal equally well with solid and stranded conductors...what if ferrules have been fitted to stranded???
