Thanks for the mention Mark, Graham (and @efixx).
I really hope I have done better on the race wall! If not I am coming back for a do-over....😁
Hope to catch up soon...roll on 2023!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all!
Really enjoyed this. Going to watch the last part today as left A121 HQ 9pm when the cold weather beat me! You guys are made of tougher stuff than me sitting in those temps lol.
Brilliant that efixx can bring these kind of things into the coal face of industry like nobody else. Leaders in the truest sense.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@efixx What were the temps missed that bit.
Thank you guys for a very informative and interesting show last night, I have to say I really enjoyed it. 👍
Hope to see you all in 2023 .
Merry Christmas and happy new year .
Have a fantastic Christmas break with your family and friends.🍾🎄
Good show Guys . Some good questions and answers
Constructive feeds back. I tried listening to this whilst having a run but can’t hear the IET gent in the back right without being deafened by other voices and my phone on max. Please consider micing individually and mixing or compressing the audio post production to flatten the levels. Thanks for the great videos.
Great show but I was disappointed that my question didn't get asked, especially as I sent it in as soon as you asked for it on Tuesday well ahead of the program.
Thanks for watching Paul sorry your question didn’t make it onto the show we had loads sent in and it was difficult to pick from them
BATHROOM FAN ISOLATION different electricians interpret the regs differently. Somoetimes its huge disruption to instal isolation outside bathroom. Also the isolator itelf over time can be unreliable. In the past shower isolation was interpreted by some as satisfied by the main board fuse. Can the shower be marked isolate at board, and a standard rcd or rcbo be used and comply.
The ring final circuit and the issues with it are possibly the most talk about final circuit and can cause significant disruption with fault finding on it and seemingly then OK to down rate the protective when broken without establishing why it is broken.
how would arc fault detection have slowed the grenfell fire down? (22 minutes in)
Why is our regs 10 year behind some of Europe in regards to type ac rcds????
May I touch on touch voltages. Bs7571 50v max. Why is it deemed ok for section 722 EVs that it's then ok to have a ceiling of 70v .
Great question. 50V is viewed as the maximum voltage a human can tolerate from hand to hand, 70V is used in section 722 because a shock from the bodywork of an EV is more likely to pass through someone from hand to foot, the tolerance of a human to that is slightly higher at 70V. 👍
@@efixx 👍
If a lighting circuit is completely inaccessable ... do regs permit a 5 amp single switch fuse spur and single mains outlet replacing double mains outlet to drive led ceiling lights and fan about 100watts total
If a 13 amp fuse spur and single mains socket replaces a double point in a ring is there a work around to supply low power devices 5 metres away.. This doesnt comply regs due distance.
Recommend/ Should - We 'should' be kind to everyone and not swear, but its not compulsory , ( not "MUST" or "Insist" )
And makes things better when we do... 😊
ADDING MULTIPLE OUTLETS Now that many VERY LOW POWER devices are driven instead of 2kw electric fires, what is the work around to add multiple (say 2 doubles) to an existing double outlet on a ring. At present regs only allow one double to be added. . Using a modern double with inttergrated usb isnt good as makes inspections more expensive.
"I'm sorry its my northern accent"
"don't apologise, Gordon hasn't yet" I'm dead.
bathrooms. so 3mts to 2.5mts.... logic , not explained....what has changed in electrical theroy ...to eliminate any danger ...in half s metre...?. or is it change , for changes sake...just asking..
Why not just make the amendments downloadable and charge a small fee, instead of ripping off everyone every time you guys add in or take out rules it’s ridiculous.
Gary didn't seem to be pulling any punches with the IET.
Why has it taken so long to ban the use of AC type RCD devices given that most countries have banned their use for years if not decades.
This has lead to a false sense of security and probably some avoidable deaths.
Let's not exaggerate. The much maligned type AC RCD has saved countless lives and electrical fires. Of that I have no doubt.
If you have an example of a blinded type AC rcd that resulted in injury or death please share the report.
Our wiring systems are among the safest in the world. Keep it in context.
@@electrician247 My comment was made after listening to the efix podcasts and a few other reputable channels far more learned than me and probably you.
@cfgman efixx have covered RCDs better than most.
You said the delay resulted in deaths. I take it by the reply you don't have the data to back that up.
Unfortunately other creators have caused much confusion around RCDs and the reliability of them. Its a tactic some use to elevate themselves above others.
Our timing on these things is about right for me. As we move towards EV, PV installs etc.
We need to remember millions of homes are still without any RCD protection at all. Imagine 🤯
@@electrician247 Well said Mark.
Really like iet to re-write that mess they call bs7671
Sorry Gary you can be too much some times mate.
🤦🏻♂️ so true 🤦🏻♂️
the sockets in bathrooms discussion is a joke, its either safe or not, the regs just guess instead of using common sense. putting sockets in a safe location is far better than forcing people , and many do, of running in an extension lead.
