Get yourself a cheap set of electronics screw drivers. They're magnetised, come with a magnetiser/de-magnetiser and have every tiny shaped torx type driver you could possibly need. Usually come with a magnetic mat to keep the screws on. For working over gravel just put a piece of cloth down to catch any dropped screws, even a jumper would do. Sorted... great job lads 😁👍
Blimey, yes, put down something to catch any screws falling to the bloody gravel below.
When I am doing fiddly jobs with screws and fixings I put a bit of old blanket on the ground to catch fixings etc. which fall to ground.
Also, magnetise almost any screwdriver with a small neodym? magnet on the shaft.
Those fuseboards giving me a shiver... its like looking on electrics in the houses from soviet union era
An excellent video - interesting, well presented and top class camera work!
Bit of blue tac on the end of your screwdriver to hold small screws does the trick lads
A clutch driver if you want the paid option
Love a bit of @10:00 Rear Entry and Bottom Entry with the gland.
🤣
Great video as always and if you drop a screw on gravel, you will find a decent magnet works wonders :)
Oh, absolutely marvelous! Gather 'round, dear friends, for the awe-inspiring saga of a few electricians tackling the herculean task of installing a new Simpson and partners charger. Witness their valiant struggle as they blindly venture into the great unknown of a client's living room, braving such perils as fuse boards, golf box glands, and - dare I say it - loft spaces!
But the thrills don't stop there, oh no! Hold your breath as they confront the unspeakable horrors of cobwebs, deceased rodents, and those absolutely diabolical tiny screws. And as if the stakes weren't high enough already, they'll strive to achieve the ultimate in aesthetic perfection - keeping everything neat and tidy.
So, prepare to be dazzled by this once-in-a-lifetime tale of electrical derring-do. Let's raise a glass to our heroes and their truly extraordinary adventure. Pip pip!
you ok mate?
@@JamesScholesUK Well, my therapist says I'm making progress, but my imaginary friend thinks I'm still a mess.
Great stuff. The trouble with removing the switched fuse for the sub at origin and replacing it with a MCB is that you can possibly lose selectivity between one tripping in DB. It's a gamble as which one trips first and sometimes both will trip.
Agree, but manufacturers require A typre RCD/RCBO (switched N) &SPD upstream.
Nice work lads 👍
Great as always 👍👍
It looks like a consequence of replacing the upstream enclosure was that the upstream HRC fuse became an upstream 63A type B MCB instead, reducing selectivity (discrimination) with the downstream 32A type B (and newly installed downstream 32A type C) MCBs.
What consideration was made about the loss of coordination between overcurrent protective devices & impact on continuity of service in the event of a fault?
Agree, but manufacturers require A type RCD/RCBO (switched N) &SPD upstream...
The bend radius in that galvanised box, christ 😂
Hi guy's, great video and charger looks great. Whatever the reasons when designing, the feedback from installers is what it's all about, so hope the manufacturer is listening.! Alex
Exactly, feedback always helps!
Where do you get those work trouser from? 0:07
Get a old speaker Magnet have in the van, so when you lose screws in hard to find places should help get them back.
That's an excellent idea. Good on you mate.
Works great excepting stainless screws !
@@benjurqunov true i forgot that at the time
Hi Artisan - quick question about EV chargers - my employer is moving me to an EV van which I’m happy about. But we are trying to figure out the charging system for my house. They are offering a SyncEV charger as it is compatible with Mina (payment system). I have solar on my property so ideally would get a Zappi but apparently it doesn’t support Mina. Do you know any chargers that have good solar integration that support Mina?
Get an eye glasses kit if you need one of those screwdrivers
Been looking at hilti stuff to replace my existing kit, they dont make a multi tool, what do you use instead ?
John had a dewalt and Lee has a Milwaukee, Hilti’s should be due this year though 🙌
Nice work guys I remember Jordan installing one in his house it reminds me of a bread bin 🤣🇮🇪👏😎
Rather posh bread bin if you ask me. 🤣🤣🤣
You must have expensive taste in bread 🤣
@@artisanelectrics You could say...artisan bread 🤣
Working over gravel just put down a plastic sheet ! (Like putting the plug in when working over a sink)
Get a fishing magnet, most are powerful enough to pick-up most stainless screws as well!
For tiny screws get a jewellery driver kit
13:37 KEEP MAGNET in your van!
Im sure iFixit will sponsor a couple of sets with small tx bits and bobs
Can't' believe that professional electricians, dealing today with so many smart fixtures, ev chargers etc. don't carry a Magnetic Precision Screwdriver Set (at £15 from Amazon). Would have solved all the issues fitting this charger. Don't need anything super high quality or branded either....Mine has been a real workhorse (electronics hobbyist) and is till going strong.
Time for Jordan to spend some money in proper Wera Wiha or Klein sets for the lads, since all of them have such sets.
I hope you didn't leave the box at about 11:24 like that, with the exposed copper bar. Or maybe I have failed by arm chair electricians exam one too many times.
12:00 - shows the DB with the blank in place
@@sigsworth45 don't you still need to cover the copper bar even if it has a blank over it.
Bus bar should have been cut down to size - the plastic cover does not fully cover it, the blank is for the next lug down so the bar is still too long. It should not be left exposed, even partially.
Good job lads, I think looks great, but poor design with screws. Reccesed screws are a f'er, that is easy fix with plastic mould. That crappy ct clamp terminal, wtf are they using that cheap crap. Bt push in terminal thing would have been better. I think they need to think about installer too. Rather than look. But honestly great job from both of you, professionals.
6:04 don't use a knife on your leg like that, I've got a nice scar where I did exactly the same thing & the knife slipped - never done it since!!
Yeah i winced seeing that, one slip or sudden soft bit on that outer insulation and your knife is going right into your leg.
Noted 🙌🏼
Remember having to take an apprentice to the the local A&E after he sliced his leg, it’s always when there’s a new blade 😮
Was just about to put this comment on. Was watching and winced when I saw that bit
Looks great but the screw situation is poor work on the designer..
Bloody unnecessary to use such small screws.
Stop slicing cables on your legs....... I know a chippy that sliced his leg open making a 'simple' cut using his leg as a 'table'........ Other than that, lovely install and stirling work. The king would be proud.
Non maintenance free screw terminals on that charger- ugh!
Please please please don’t use a stanly blade to tighten screws! It’s just not very Artisan, the connection wouldn’t be sound and there would possibly be a fault which would result in a call back and reduced confidence in the customer of the company.
You are all fab electricians and please keep up and continue to improve on your Artisan-ness going the extra mile, doing things neat and well is what we all love about Artisan Electrics!
Simple fix to your screwdriver problem, get an ifixit screwdriver kit
6m02s - seriously, that's an 8 port network switch cable tied into the ceiling framing?? I realise it's preexisting but that is disgraceful.
A bad workman always blames his tools. Get a wider range of screwdrivers. Installed the same charger recently. Lovely charger and an app that actually works compared to most that don’t
The app does look great!
Tattoo man doesn't like spider webs how nice
Most of these "action shots" are planned as hell
Omg just red all the comments telling you how to do the job. Don’t use a knife you might cut yourself get a magnetic screw driver. Why do you guys bother to watch this, oh all you magnet guys, I would hope the screws are stainless on a quality outdoor charger 🤣🤣. Little grease or Vaseline works a treat but sure these guys know that anyway.
Yet another product designed by someone who has not got to install it. If they got installers opinion on a lot of electrical products they would be 10 times better..
I think the best one is still the Zappi, but as understandable some people what something more premium looking other than utility, so that's the reason why this one exists.
Still that didn't discount that they should not only design but also have some input from the installers.
Feedback always helps for companies to improve their products though.
@@artisanelectrics it depends if the company wants to accept such feedback input, which is sometimes (in some fields) totally impossible.
So it seems like you didn't have the right tools for the job. That's my brutally honest opinion. (I get that the product could be different but it's not so turn up with tools that are suitable.)
Please give your employees some video training. Jimmy Monotone is virtually impossible to watch 😂
That was really unkind. If you are going to offer criticism, make it constructive, not mean spirited.
Lol
do you actualt know how a smart meter works?
and why with a smart meter you are actualy paying for more electric than a non smart meter.
do you know why the smart meter was pushed onto the domestic customer?
have you ever taken a smart meter apart because if yu have then you would not be telling people that they save you energy and they are a good thing
I was repeatedly pushed to get one, can you please explain what the downside is and why they cost more than the old style meters.
No he can't because he's mental.
@@colingreer853 it is like this say you have a 1000 watt moter at home the electric generator company has to push 1080 watts down the cable to make your 1000 watt work the 80 watts is lost through connections and cable lenth.
second take a old incandesant light buld it has a power factor of 1 as it is a resistive load meaning the wave is in phase
now new electronics use a conductive load and the power factor is around about 0.3 this is because of the cheap componants and this is not efficiant at all the wave on this is called out of phase.
in phase is draw a line then draw a wavey line that goes up and down that line where the two crosses is in phase and that is a power factor of 1very good a resistive load your incandesant light
do the same but braw a second wavey line just infront of the first the crossing point is slightley out of phase the power factor is low bad.
big faturies that had big motors allways for years had a second meter that took this into account remember the 1000 watt moter the facturies would be billed for the extra watts that was pushed down the line .
domestic on the other hand was not there for they got that 20 watts for free as it would not register on the meter so with all the frighes freezers ect they generator companies lost money .
so all they did was call the same meter that they used for years a smart meter and put it in domectic houses.
and also you electric and gas companie can switch you on a a differant tarrif at peek time remotley.
they can also cut you off remotley as they have a big relay swith in them that is used to termanat power but it is also activated by the wirless system.
the only benifits to yu is you can see what and how much each applyence is useing that is it it does not save you any money it is a bigg mind bender they are playing.
if i was you i would tell them to replace it with the old metter it will be a none smatr bigital meter you have a time tio change your mind not sure what it is.
it is the bloody led bulds that have the worst power factor of about 0.17 i have seen.
i hope this helps sorry for my spelling never very good at spelling but taking smart meters and stuff apart it is like breather for me.
thankyou for replying to my comment
@@boilersuitguy4980 No supplier, afaik, is currently charging domestic customers for apparent power. They are only charging for real power (the same power measured by old analog meters)
Now this is not to say it will change in the future - but there are no indications it will do so.
A smart meter is required if you want to have an EV tariff and if you have an electric car you really really want to have an EV tariff (unless you like paying 4 times as much to charge your car).
@@boilersuitguy4980 Many thanks for the comprehensive reply. Lots to take in,
