- How to wire a DIN rail distribution board - practical demonstration (South Africa).
This is a lab setup for the practical demonstration of wiring a distribution board with several loads - lights, geyser, and plugs. Loads protected by earth leakage (RCD) and over current circuit breaker protection.
To wire a Samite rail board, please see video here: • How to wire a distribu...
Further details found in the SANS 10142-1:2020 wiring standard - The Wiring of Premises Part1: low voltage installations.
Extremely clear explanation if you ask me ! Not only that but i searched the whole internet and found no usefull explantion of the distribution board . Youre the winner!! ;)Greetings Belgium
Such a great teacher… I m not an electrician but understand your presentation 👏👏👏👏👌
I am a self taught electrician, such videos are beautiful, keep up keeping up❤️❤️
Brilliantly compiled and presented. Finally a wiring diagram that makes sense. The way you present it showing the actual kit is so much more understandable/relatable than the competition that use animated graphics.
My thanks for making this clear to me.
All I needed, I searched for "simple DIN rail wiring board " and your video is the only one that made sense. Thank you so much.
Brilliant tutorial with excellent visuals. Anyone regardless of skill level can understand.
I don't usually comment on RUclips but I have to compliment you on such a clear and fantastic video. Thank you
The clearest video I have watched, answered all my questions. To follow up I have today added a new breaker to a sub panel for a new outdoor socket works a treat, thanks again for your video it helped enormously.
I'm a South African and and a Power Engineering student and I would love to meet you and gain practical experience on this field from you Sir. You're the best
Simple and straightforward
well worth watching, thank you from a non electrician.
Finally a decent video clearly explained without the B.S, being an electrical novice it helps heaps cheers, 👍 from Australia.
One word, you are a brilliant teacher!
I never thought I would ever understand the arrangements in this board.thank you..
Very well explained. I just stumbled across this channel and I wasn't even looking for this info but I needed it.
ADD: It is common practice that all INPUT (or supply, source) electricity are to connect from the top just like this 4:17.
In this video, it just so happens that the supply wires came from the top; however many installations have the wires from the bottom instead, ie pulled from the ground up, but it is connected to the tops of the CBs.
6:17 Even if this looks ugly, it is a best practice. Some CBs have special circuits on the tops. Fuse Holders for instance have the fuse connected to the bottom. If one wired the bottom as source, you wont be able to hold the fuse.
Can you provide your link are you electrician indeed
You have presented that so clearly in a very easy and definitive way for anybody to understand. Well done, now back to my DV board now that i know what to do. Cheers
the most simply but clearly demo, thanks for sharing
Baie dankie, goeie onderwyser vir 'n totale leek wat krag betref. Ek gaan dit nou doen!
Sir thank you for such an easy explanation,was always confused for some reason. Now I understand fully
Your teachings are the best
Great video! Thanks for taking the time... provides the necessary detail
Love this. excellent. professional. very clear language.
Amazing demonstration, but if you ever decide to do a follow-up video try adding the correct way to extend a wire that might've been too short
Anyone regardless of skill level can understand, well explained
Absolutely love your work.
Best lecturer ever👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
Thank you you make it look so simple. Now i know how to connect a db thanks to you take care.
Wow. Well explained. Kept it similar and in layman’s terms. Now I understand my pool db.
Great explaination, simple and straight forward👌🏾♥️
Perfect presentation. Covering all important aspects. 👍
Simply amazing! Keep up the great work brother
Interesting, exhaustively, understandable.I am happy now!!!
🎉 Excellent explanation 🎉
Thank you so much.. It really help me out with my school project❤❤
At 1:20 author mention ferula, as fair I know it's reccomended to use them. And things which was omitted and should be mentioned at this video: Cable glands and LABELING of the switches. I will say the last one is very important from practical point of view.
Amazing vedio, very helpful, may Almighty 👏 bless you 🙏
This is a well explained, that everyone understand clearly.
Thanks for this interesting and pedagogical video. One question, though : why, instead of wiring a common neutral bus bar apart, didn't you use 2 of these "direct connect" solid bars, and connect them from the "leakage protection breaker" to the lamp circuit L & N ?
Are you allowed to use FTE cable to wire light switches and wall plugs and connect to the DB board? And should the FTE cable also be in PVC conduits?
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the 63A is an isolator switch, it is not a circuit breaker. The 63A rating means it can handle current up to 63A, beyond that the switch can get damaged, melted or burnt.
U can get both isolator plus MCB in 9ne switch.
@@Antharishk Yep i did not watch the whole video that's why I missed that part 2:47 where he talked about differences. In the UK usually it is rare to see a double pole MCB inside a DB board. Only single pole MCBs, double pole RCDs and an isolator switch. You may also see RCBOs and an SPD. And of course there is another isolator switch after the meter and a fuse before the distribution board.
Well done on a great walk through on wiring and how and why it all fits together safely.
Thank you very much you are just brilliant . Very good and clear explanations
great video.
pls provide link to where to buy the busbar.
very informative - well done
This is definately the best video. Thanks
Brilliant tutorial nice and simple.
I for one liked this tutorial demo, welldone
Well explained, thank you
Wow simplistic and very clear.
What would happen if the "circuit breaker" "supply" (live) was connected at the bottom of the breaker and then power taken to the circuit from the top point? Would the breaker still work correctly (my thoughts....it should as it is AC current with current flowing in both directions), but what is your advice?
Thanks for this; really enjoyed the video!👍😊
Good Installation and presentation. I learned a lot. Thanks
Would it be possible to build this setup on a 10A circuit breaker coming from the main db board? Going from 10A to a 63A/16mm circuit breaker would be violating the bigger to smaller rule, not so?
This is very clear thanks for the video
Excellent presentation Thanks heaps
Great Explanation Thank You
This guy is amazing 👏 👏
Excellent. Any video on 2 way switching...
Very clear video. Just one question: at 6:22 you use something you call a "bus bar" to bridge between the three breakers. Any idea what that's called in N. America? Over here the term is only used for the terminal strips in the corners of your box. Maybe a knowledgeable N. American viewer can jump in? Thanks!
Made in South Africa, Brilliant.
Yes brilliant good seed
Dankie vir die video.👍
great video, can you make a video how to wire an inverter to your main DB
Lovely, very well explained, now I understand
Very informative. Unfortunately, I have 380v 3 phase main power. So my sub-panel is a bit more complicated. In fact, it's a bit of mess. I live in the mountains of Mongolia and it's pretty remote but we do have grid power. We mainly use 240v appliances except a heating boiler which uses 380v.
It's not so easy to use bus bars because I distribute power from different phases. I use jumpers from the main switch to each circuit breaker instead. Well, at least the electrician who set it up.
If you would do a 3 phase supplied video, that would be awesome. But maybe it's not that interesting to people.
would love you to do how to connect your invertor to your distribution board
Just a quick one can you put the load on the top and feeds along the bottom or does it have to be like rhat
Very good. Please explain why you use 1 Pole MCB and not 2 Poles MCB?
How many socket outlets are allowed on one 20A circuit breaker?
Great clip to watch. Do you have a tutorial om how to wire Solar and inverter to your existing db board?
not yet
Thank you sir, this is so detailed
This was so helpful, thank you.
Hi I want to fit a 2.5 cable to my board what size circuit breaker should I use
Love the video very easy to follow
Great teacher. Thanks a lot. Now I can blink
Thank You for this,I learnt alot
Thanks for a very informative video. I am not an electrician, but knowledge is power. I have a question: I have 3ph supply. My main MCB in primary DB is rated at 50A/415V. While the main breaker in each of the 2 sub db's is 63A/400V. The main DB also contains MCB's for each of the 2 sub DB's. These are rated at 63A/415V. Why is the Main MCB of Primary DB rated at 50A while the Sub DB's are rated at 63A? Also i'm wanting to swop out the Sub DB MCBs located within the Primary DB with smart breakers to monitor energy consumption in preparation for near future Solar installation. However, the smart MCB's available is only rated at 63A/380V. Will it be advisable/acceptable to do such a swop out? many thanks. Ian
Great presentation precise and clear
Thanks love it very well explained ❤
❤thanks dear now I lnow everything about my fuse box
Very good & clear explaination.
Nice video. My question is, what is the current size of the breaker for my geyser? I replaced the 32A with a 20A. Is it wrong?
You are amazing thanks for this educative information
Well explained
This is awesome thank you
🎉thank you
well explained
Thank you this is so useful
Great demonstration.
Nice tutorial
What is the wire size of the initial input mains and its current rating?
Very well explained.
perfect iam an electrician ilove your work
How to wire 3 phase db please
You just made electricity interesting. Where can I learn this in Jhb?
Thanks a lot for your presentation the other ones I watched were great to thanks a lot
Thank you
Good teacher ever
So... I got a couple of these to use on my solar system. One of them is backwards on instead of being off when green its red when its off. And then when I switch it to green its flowing power. The others are all different than that where red means power is on or 'hot'.
What do you do to fix it when they are backwards on the on and off switch? And has this happened to others?
Thanks
Very informative
are you supposed to connect the DIN rail to ground as well?
