Fuseboard Fire, House Fire, Exotic life of an Electrician
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 ноя 2020
- when fuse boards catch fire, this could of easily been a lot worse, and become a full on house fire.
we stripped back all damaged cable and jointed new cable to a new metal 18th edition fuse board.

Hands up who watched this unit get Clived?
Yep, watched Clive's video then came here!
Me!
Yooo! It came up randomly in suggestions and I thought hey that looks exactly like the unit I watched him go over earlier.
same straight from clives
Me!
I’m not even an electrician and yet I can’t stop watching these videos 😂
You might be an Ohmosexual?
Couldn't resist could you??
@@edglue6138 culdnt stop laughing
I love that joke
@@topchannel1000 haha
You're not alone!
Big Clive's patreon squad reporting in
Big Clive's cheap-ass viewer squad ready for action.
Aye!

Bit of Kopex and insulation tape would have been reet.
Haha
Looked in comments for this. Did not disappoint 🤣
I'm an old industrial electro mechanical engineer and agree that this guy is extremely professional. Great guy for such a young age. Keep up the good work.
Yes I agree very professional keep the good work up guys.
Bigclive brought me here too :)
Big Clive sent me here
15:30 Thank you for saying my mistake and not my bad
Ugh I don't think that one ever caught on over there. Most fortunately!
@Ian Clegg Not sure about shot, that's a bit far but definitely would be finna' get smacked ;)
Congratulations to Adam, he has learnt his trade knowing his tests
Great team. Absolutely perfect apprenticeship and Boss for Adam.
Big up Nick and keep up the good work lads! 👏🏽👌🏽👍🏽
All those peculiar UK tests for ring mains.
Hi Nick, from an old spark from the 60's. I enjoyed watching you undertaking this job. This is just an observation not a criticism, wouldn't it been easier to replace the tails and to cut back burnt cables to a sound piece then used a signal injector to fined the location of all the cables rather than spend time trying to untangle that mess?
Peter.
I’m not sure about easier or quicker but it would have been enough cleaner that it would certainly have been my inclination.
I suppose being able to replicate the exact breaker values and numbering of the old circuits has some value, but honestly… this seems like a “start from fuckin’ scratch” situation if ever there was one.
It's great seeing how much Adam is learning!!
Congratulations on sorting that out Nick & Adam.
Great work, neat job, staying late to finish it. You're good lads for others to follow. Adam is lucky to have you.
I love how neatly you have done everything.
Absolutely fantastic hand work. Master material. Adam is a lucky bloke to have you showing him the ropes. An outstanding repair, going over an above for the customer (who I am sure was breathing down your neck all day). The work with the Megger was top notch and very well worth finding. Bet the customer had no idea it was like that for years. Best Regards, Gerald Magill B.Eng in Electrical Engineering (Hons). My respect.
Nice job. Doing a great job with Adam. He is knocking out the park.
Good video guys, what a mess that was. Welldone for sorting your way through that and not just hacking it apart in a rush.
Great video, thanks Nick. Cool to see how much Adam has come on since the earlier videos.
Brilliant bit of workmanship fantastic board well done guys
I really liked this video, was cool seeing you two diagnose the mess at the beginning in almost real time. Nice little change of pace, especially having a camera guy for some of it.
The 2 of you have done a cracking job repairing that mess... 👍
Tbh a torque screwdriver would not necessarily solve the issue of a board fire. It might have helped but often the torque settings from the manufacturers arent good enough and you can still move the cables in the terminal. In essence not using a torque screwdriver isn't the main problem, its that a cable was loose in the terminal and probably arcing.
if something was brushing against them every day then every day was increasing the chance of an arc, thats the only way I can see it happening even when torqued correctly. tails don't move unless they're moved.
my guess is the family car door mirror was clipping it every day.
I bet the smell in there was wonderful I've had to straighten out a blowed up board before in your hands stink for days even wearing gloves Keep On Keepin On
That new board is beautiful. Nice work.
Big Clive sent me here. Top shelf work, mates. Total pro!
Great job on sorting out that charcoaled consumer unit. Brilliant result at the end.👍🏼 Adam is doing really well with all his testing knowledge. 👏🏼
Very neat work. Great experience for Adam to be involved on that.
Great work Nick Nice to see competent sparks out there 👍🏼
Great work Nick & Congratulations to Adam for learning his skills. Being an electricians is like artwork of cable management which done right, looks awesome to have some pride over it. Excellent video Nick... Keep them coming bro.
Very good work lads, that's probably the best Electricians video on RUclips. Class!!.
Mate that's terrifying, they were very lucky. Cracking job on your work.
Just ordered some EnviroBurst and Intumescent strip for my shed DB... that looked a tough job to unpick and re-connect. Great job both!
Excellent job. If I ever need an electrician I hope I'll find one this good.
The first decent and honest electrician I have seen on here that doesn't spout crap. Great job well done you!!!!
Look at Artisan Electrics too
Liking the battery hover! I have one too. Handy bit of kit
Very relaxing to watch
You boys certainly know your stuff , great video 👍
Quality video guys and loved the standard of your work. Its scary how easy things like this happen!
I came here after watching the Big Clive post-mortem. As I said on his video, it was the RUclips equivalent of eating dessert before the main course.
This video is a great example of why the UK requires some fire-blocking where the cables pass through the wall. Had that not been there...
Well done both of you . I think it’s every electricians nightmare that something could happen on their jobs. We all try to be diligent but having seen a missed lose neutral at a D.B that had started to over heat . I can testify to being capable of making mistakes. The trade is not only demanding, but also comes with a lot of responsibility. Seeing what can result when things do go wrong is a very sobering thought . Regards from Mike
Very clean job.
Excellent job as always guys 🏆
No way Adam "bro'd" you! The cheek of these youth today! 🤣
Also - wonder leads? Wander, wonder, same thing!
Great job though gents! Excellent work! 👍
Great result from a right old mess well done I really enjoyed it 👍
That is a hell of a day's work- well done.
Wow that was crispy excellent work and thanks for the awesome content stay safe and take care
Great job, plus you have a great team.
Big Clive sent me!
At least you are not in someones house in a cramped hall cupboard with the owners constantly bothering you with questions and watching - nothing worse than having a customer leaning over your shoulder putting you off!!!

Good job guys. Not an easy one to take on but smashed it like pro's.
Lovely work guys
That's a great job Nick much better than flexi conduit everywhere mate.
I'm glad we've always had metal enclosures in the US.
Great video nick, as a firefighter currently retaining as a spark found this this interesting as go to 2 or 3 of these a year. Good to see gloves as that fire damage is full of carcinogens that will be absorbed by the body that can lead to cancer.
really enjoyed that one, good work guys
Excellent job nick,
That looked like a fecking nightmare of a job. But you and Adam got it sorted , well done lads 👍👍
Fantastic video as always
Guy with Batman cap. Top lad! Great work in this video. Learning so much from you mate. Keep up the good work.
Top wiring job mate!
You both ( GOOD JOB) fantastic 👏👏👏👏👏
Different type of video, interesting to see something like this! Keep up the work lads love your content 👌🏻
Yes! Been looking forward to this video good job
Well done lads, that was a dirty one
Well done. That was horrendous.
Lovely job guys !
Great job done.
Its always the last one you try , when you find it , you don't try any more ..lol
Excellent work guys
I was tempted to order the Enviroburst when CJR demo'd it a few videos ago. Bit the bullet and ordered it now.
Lovely job Nick 👍
Neatest fuseboard install.
Great job gents, how things should be done. I’ve been looking forward to this vid since the first insta post 😂
Top video mate. Makes you realise the importance of tightening things up properly.
It's not a game we're playing, people can die due to sloppy installation.
Totally could have reused that old fuse board 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Just kidding 😂😂 great job guys !!! You guys do great work and work well together
Great job there mate.
Crispy critters lol
Good job guys
Yet again another great video quality sells guys keep up the hard work
Excellent job and very interesting video. Well done gentlemen !! 👍
FairPlay you guys worked hard on that really good videos thank you 👍🏻
Nice job neat board.
Cor I know exactly what that garage stanks like! I did a rewire on a property that had fire damage throughout. Rank!
Great video 👍👍
I think your most interesting video to date. Thank you. Very informative
That’s a proper graft for a day’s work 👍🏻
Top effort guys.👏👏👏
Very scary and very lucky - could definitely have been quite nasty! Excellent job dealing with all of that, it cannot have been fun!
That is just scary definitely loose connection thank goodness we have gone back to metal board's but you got to keep things tight regardless.sad situation but makes a good video to drive the importance of good electrical work thanks nick you trooper
Nice job Guys.
Good video Nick/Adam. Looks a tails/ main switch issue to cause that sort of fire issue. Thank god we’ve gone back to metal boards. I can imagine the smell was pungent!
Disappointing that a modern board with supposably modern safety features can suffer from such a catastrophic failure.
Well done both of you, for a rescue of a electrical installation.
Lovely job.
Very enjoyable video. Thank you!
That's a hell of a sexy new board you've wired up. Fantastic dressing 👍
Yes! Bring on the FlexiCon
That looked like hard work
What a lovely job you made of that unit. Very impressive work mate. A Real Credit to you. I bet the customer was made up with the result.
My college years learning as an electrician were cut short, but I've learnt more on site and helping along the way. I'm shocked at some of the so called professional work I come across and thats from from a novice like me!!
Enjoy all your work, its informative, professional and enjoyable to watch....keep the videos coming lad 😁👍
Did 5 yrs apprenticeship ,its when you come out of your " time " that you really start to learn because you don't normally have someone to fall back on .
Loved the Video it was so educational and good info for learners. we all hope never to get many damage consumer unit fires, as someone loses something so deer to them for it happen. thanks.
good work he really knows.
Good stuff Nick, Feel for the client, glad you put this out there hopefully the general public view this and realise all these improvementsl/ costs and EICR (reports) not certificates do have a valid reason, and not just making jobs for the boys, Well done 👏 👍
Be interested to know insurance company's thoughts.
Not an electrician but I’m astounded by your professionalism! Meticulous working out of what was a horrendous s**t show!!!
Very neat, work of art! Scratches my ocd itch just nice thanks 😊
Came here after watching Big Clive. Nice work 👍
Good job...learned a lot...again.
Neat job, enjoying your vids .
