    In Denmark everything is 3 phase as well, but in older buildings it's common for the mainboard to only be wired for 2 phase - which used to be the standard supply up until the mid-1960s or so. Even though the supply up to the meter has been upgraded to 3 phase everywhere, the 3rd phase will not be wired into the board unless everything after the board is rewired for it.

    Nice video. The pre wired flexible conduit whe often use in the Netherlands is called Preflex, and is made by a Belgium company. If you prepare it well enough, not a single cable or wire needs to be pulled. Even switch wires, data, thermostat wires, doorbell, or cable tv, all in pre wired conduit

    The best way to make pre-wired conduit in the UK has to enroll the length on a long space if you can find one somewhere even if it’s offsite and then pull the wires through the conduit and forward them over at the end and it’s like the pre-stuff when you put it through, but it’s so much easier to do it then

    Nice video, Corey. Here in Holland they put what you call the consumerunit always near bij the frontdoor because when theres a fire they can shut off the system when they (firemen) enter a house. Its not allowed to put it under a cupboard or put it in a place where you can't find it. its all regulated. and also the educationsystem for electricians. Again, like the videos. For me a new approach of video making on YT. Like it very much.

      For the record, that’s true of new builds (post 1970 or so) but as you get further back in time the regulations get less stringent, and of course the units aren’t updated since then. Or at least not the location etc.

    Hi Cory,
    Norway uses the IT earthing system - the consumers appliances are connected to an earth rod ala TT but there is no utility provider connection to earth - there is essentially no fault loop to test - RCDs are used for protection instead almost entirely - the concept of using a low resistance path to clear a ground fault by allowing the case to short to ground just isn't in their book. In ways this is a safer system as the earth is not used as a conductor anywhere, which can in some cases cause people to get hurt - the only reason we used an earthing system with a bond to neutral (TNCS) to clear faults is because overcurrent devices were cheaper than RCDs and it meant the provider didn't have to run a dedicated ground either to do so.
    But to be honest, the TT and IT systems are probably better now with the advent of universal RCD. TT combined with universal RCD use would probably be the safest, as the RCDs would limit the shock hazard of using the earth as a conductor anyway.
    The only drawback to Norway's system is that a ground fault is nigh on impossible to find!

All houses usely have 3 phase 230V (IT and TT) or 3 phase 3 phase 400V (TN) :) Very good video mate! Really neat work also! Love it!

      What kind of animal is 230V 3 phase? Most Europe has 3phase 400V or 230V single phase...how do you wire a socket then? With 2 different phases leading to it? Does this system have neutral wire and how is it handled? Sorry, this is just unusual, i don't know where else it's done like that...

    • @sack8439
      @sack8439 Год назад +1

      @@andreismirnov7200 Well in Norway our IT system CAN be 3 phase, but usually isnt. Reason thats done is for large old warehouses or malls. That way you can balance the load on the L1-L2-L3. So in some sockets it can be L1-L2, or L2-L3 or L1-L3. Each L is half of 230V. It really doesnt matter which is the «neutral». Just keep it the same in that fuse or it’ll short. But it happens for some old buildings as well since we use more electricity than any other european country because it gets helluva alot colder, and we pretty much only use electricity for everything.

    Cory,I am not an electrician but I have recently been watching a few of your videos and enjoy them very much. On the point of conduit for domestic use,in all my houses (late 1920/early 1930) there has been a type of egatube metal conduit. Although this is a press steel formed tube it gives a better protection than plastic. My daughter has recently had a new kitchen and the electrician clipped the cable to the wall. If errors occur when putting shelves up it’s a major job to replace wiring (tiles removed,chiselling out,plastering etc). In conduit it’s simple and may not happen in the first place due to the steel. So from a customers point of view bring back the sensible conduit protection.

    I put conduit everywhere in my house when we gutted and rebuilt it. Trouble is, I listened to electricians who insisted it wasn't necessary so missed a few areas. But, when one came to do my kitchen extension, he exclaimed "Electrician's dream" - all he had to do was pull cable through - he still did a sloppy job and I had to work out what was wrong and fix it. I also have access points at strategic places in the floor - office hives, I think they're called - the sparks I've had (reputable, registered, recommended) wondered what they are because they haven't done offices - all though it was a good idea. Means I can run CAT5 and CAT6 cable in separate conduit to separate faceplates

    Personally, I don’t think hydropower is an environmental thing in this case. It’s simply it’s very viable and cost-effective when the power plants last ages. With renewable energy the issue is changing immediately can be bad because the minute you’re replacing things so much carbon is being released that it may take 30 to 40 years for that to be removed.
    It is worth knowing that the way the distribution board is could definitely be installed in the UK and there are lots of options available but the main reason my in awkward places is terribly designed new built or really old buildings. Electricity was retrofitted so awkwardly under the stairs would have to happen.
    I do believe in Norway though there is a bit of ripping apart walls for a rewire if the properties been done before a certain egg with conduit if there’s been a regulation change that means it had to be run differently now

    I was interested to see what items of test equipment were used in Norway. It was quite surprising to see a young guy like Adrian using an analogue tester rather than a digital model. The Kyoritsu 3132A that he has was sold in the UK as a Robin K3105. Robin branded testers had rather less 'busy' (plainer) front panels than their Kyoritsu equivalent models and most were yellow (although not the K3105). Robin/Kyoritsu also made a version of the SA9083 generic test meter for the telecoms industry (aka ballistic testing) that looks very similar to the K3105. When Fluke bought Robin they discontinued all the rebranded Kyoritsu testers so Kyoritsu created the Kewtech (Kyoritsu Electric Works) brand for the UK market.

    • @Ragnar8504
      @Ragnar8504 2 года назад +1

      I haven't seen anyone use an analogue tester for ages (I'm in Austria). Fluke is quite popular here, as is Chauvin Arnoux for multifunction testers. Gossen Metrawatt of Germany also has quite a following. Then there's of course Metrel and Benning (famous for their Duspol voltage testers), although Benning MFTs are just rebranded Metrels. Back in the old days there were also Goerz and Norma. I once had a Siemens MFT from the 90s, decent bit of kit but the RCD function was a bit spartan, only did trip time at 1x current if I remember correctly and the regs require a ramp test so it wasn't much use.

    Love the concept of zappii being able to monitor the current draw of itself along with the mains and adjust. In the states and Canada we have to have a minium of 200 Amp service for one charger. (Most homes have like 240 100amps) or 400amp or more for 2. You can imagine having 50 to 70 amps of power for an e/v charger with only a 100 amps wld be. I sent out an inquiry to zappii to see if they make a n. American version never heard back I wld imagine it wld be hard as it wld have to measure both sides of the transformer legs as we run a neutral at the center for 2 120v opposit phase but can combine them for 240 volts so yes technically usa Canada is 240volts +(avg phase in my area of new england runs 125volts + or - ) so it's more like 240 to 260v - but 60 hertz as opposed to 50hertz.
    There is no national regulation or certification in the USA either the national government makes a new set of basic standards every 3 yrs called the national electric code but it's up to the states and even local government to adopt or make their own actual enforcable codes and bylaws plus they are responsable for permits and inspections. Trust me for the land of the free the government has a lot of control lol

    • @eDoc2020
      @eDoc2020 2 года назад

      Measuring split phase power isn't hard. You can run both legs through the same current transformer (but in opposite directions) to get the total current. And if they already have a version compatible with three-phase service the hardware should be perfectly fine for use on our 120/240.
