- My ULTIMATE SECRET For Beautiful Electrical Installs!
Every Electrician has their own little tips and tricks, but Cory's little secret might just be the ultimate electrical life hack. Welcome back to another episode of Artisan Electric where Cory is attempting his neatest consumer unit yet, usually a fan of fitting Fuse Box boards how will he handle this challenge on a Hager board?

Make sure to watch RIGHT to the end for a surprise 😶🌫
19:00 - Earthing and bonding are in the same section in BS7671 which definitely causes confusing. I've never yet met an electrician who can properly explain the difference. Always good to meditate on.
Flush mount panels, welcome to the USA! LOL So much cleaner install once all the sheet rock is on and done. However its a REAL pain in the rear to run any additional cables once its all in the wall and finished!
Great video, always great knowledge. Keep it up
Wago LIGHTING box has entries at both ends.
Very useful in situations like this, but need to check the rated load, I think they are for lighting loads only regardless of which connectors are used inside it.
16:44 Don't they make plug-on neutrals load centres (consumer units) in the UK? With those, you don't need to run a lead from each breaker/RCBO to the neutral bus-bar. They enable much cleaner installs.
In relation to the bonding at the end we used to come across medium pressure LPG sites where they'd bond and stake the supply at tank end and property end, it was standard practice to make sure the tank was at the same potential should anyone use powered garden tools around the tank. Outside of that LPG/Oil situation it makes no sense to though.
Gorgeous job, shame the Hager board was a bit of a let down quality wise, also prefer FuseBox for DP RCBOs/ lead length etc.
That board looks absolutely amazing. Slightly weird placement though - imagine trying to plaster and paint around the left hand side of it!
Corey listening to The Cranberries while doing electrical work is the best thing I’ve seen this week, my mum went to school with the lead singer 😁
Amazing!
Great job lads, Cory is Artisan Electrics, the best, the man. 👍👍👍
It’s a team effort! But I appreciate the sentiment Chris!!
Thank you Artisan Electrics for the awesome videos! So entertaining and educational. Most of all Real Content!
Earthing vs bonding - I was doing a design this last week regarding lightning controls and equipotential bonding, connecting that system to the buildings earthing systems. Trying to make sure that ya don't die in a lightning event, whilst maintaining data integrity and safety. Some of the seasoned engineers were going back to the reference books to re-read things....
Ground rods are for lightning. You don’t want the strike to enter the house. All exterior metal should have a connection. (Take a class there is a bunch of exceptions).
For wired connection they have to be replaced after a strike. They intentionally ionize to carry the ~100kAmps.
Don’t suppose this much of an issue in the UK.
Very nice final result on the board, great everything was well labelled from before too. We didn't get to see end result of Reuben's loft adventures though?
It's probably already been mentioned by now but have you seen rivnuts? It would definitely help in those situations
Great video. Where can i find those "enviro-strips" to fight off the fire in case? thanks
Completely correct to disconnect the pipe from the earth rod. If you ever had an issue with the supplies earthing system then you'd have a potential difference between that pipe and the rest of the installation in the event of a fault. Plus putting it on an earth rod imo wouldn't make much of a difference as the metal pipes entering the ground will act as an earth rod anyway.
Nice job thanks
Top work as always. With those Hagar rcbos the ones we get in Australia have much longer neutral flying leads.
Very long haha
Great job Cory 😎
Did you not torque the breakers?
Fab content as always and mighty fine music choice Cory, Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We? 👌🏼
The neutral at 16:00 ish, can you switch places with the PE? I use Hager Gamma and Vector enclosures and there you can almost freely place the neutral and PE bars
Good luck on your future ventures Cory
We need loads more videos guys love watching them .
New videos Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday
I spoke with Hagar about the realllllllly short rcbo leads. They’re happy for you to extend them with suitable cables.
Thanks!
What is the grommet strip you use again? I remember it from an old video but who knows what one
Hager should do two lengths of neutrals. You would use shorter ones where they reach and longer ones where they don’t. Maybe they do it to reduce waste? Amazing job as always. Love your videos.
Hager do, make two lengths of neutrals, you just have to specify which one when your order from the wholesalers.
Great Content guys, really enjoy watching and learning , I am helping Josh today doing rewire ⚡️👊
Nice work!
Not sure of the accuracy of this as it’s second hand information but someone at my work told me that the envirobusrt strips voids the consumer unit of any manufacturers warranty, he had enquired about fitting them for his previous company. Any info would be appreciated though as I’d quite like to start using them!
Would a notice that the suppression system is fitted inside be of benefit to both the homeowner and any future electrician's
What's the back story? Whoever did the rewire was clearly extremely competent and more than capable of doing the board change, I wonder why they weren't hired to do so?
Lovely finish Corey.
Beautiful job, Cory, perhaps you could prepare another for display in the Louvre 😂👏👏👏👏❤️❤️
Sure made their day when they found that neatly done board. 👍
Quality content as always. Bonding certainly about equal potential, personally I'd say earthing was more about limiting duration .
True, however magnitude of fault current will affect duration - Adiabatic Equation and so on.
8:20 OH COOL!
One thing that I would suggest on dual rcd or rcd boards is that an emergency light is fitted above it so the average person can see to re set it . Not a problem on fully populated rcbo boards .
and can’t think why that earth rod was there when it’s a pme it looks as though the original installer didn’t check the supply ze at the cut out .
19:10 Extraneous parts need to be bonded back to the MET, including installations having TT earthing arrangements.
Building trade I am. This video where was the torque screwdriver for the fuse board ????.
Why would the consumer unit relocator have been installed? Can’t think why a new consumer unit wouldn’t have been fitted right away?
Functional neutral?
Love watching and I’m not even an electrician
Amazing!
"Interesting" earthing facts: most solar installations are floating (that is the DC lines aren't referenced to earth). The mounting system wouldn't normally be considered an exposed or extraneous conductive part so wouldn't normally require earthing or bonding unless you were trying to connect it to a lightning protection system. However the code of practice requires you to connect a functional earth to the mounting system so that in the case of an insulation resistance fault in the array the inverter notices more quickly.
It's rare to see anyone bother to follow those requirements, there are strong arguments against doing it and it can cause other problems, however it's in the book and it's also written in most inverter manuals. It becomes especially confusing when you have a ground mounted metal structure that only has DC lines connected to it.
🤓
Even in TT I don’t think that is acceptable, it would be possible to have different rods at different potentials in a fault.
Nice few mk rcbos you can pinch out of that old board!
Those securing screws always fail, you would think Hager would’ve had this sorted by now.
We did the same, ended up screwing it to the woodwork 👍🏻 great job as always.
Love Corey’s knowledge 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Thanks!!
Very neat
16:14 - So the boys a Garo have questioned the wisdom of packing all the high-load devices next to the main switch. The bus bar has CSA of around 30mm2 and no plastic to limit the load. In terms of heat distribution, it makes more sense to alternate between 32A and 6A - but Im not really brave enough to start the trend. Thoughts?
I'd always assumed that a breaker would run hotter when pulling close to its rating. So a 6A breaker pulling a full 6A would be warmer than a 32A breaker pulling say 10A. I doubt it matters anyway, for domestic, I just put them in whatever order suits me.
@@andrewcadby regardless which runs hotter, ABABAB will be more even than AAABBB. Like you say though, with a tick over of less than 5A (or 32+5 with the EV on) there should never be cause for concern.
@@TimmyBoja we might be at cross purposes: do you mean the temperature of the busbar, due to current flowing through it? I was referring to heat transfer between neighbouring devices.
It would make sense for the higher currents to travel the shortest distance to minimise resistive losses. Maybe not enough of a difference to worry about, though.
Hi there I'm shirrie Jackson
I want to and Hamilton Ontario Canada I've been known to a lot of the older installs come in to two main fuses out to the hydrometer from the hydro Mater into the main consumer unit. I wonder you could answer your question on this the UK at one time had flat rate hydro with no hydrometers and it came straight through the fus blocks and into consumer units and later on they went to a hydrometer where they came out of box and two meter and consumer unit. I wondering on the next video upload if you see the comment I like to know if you can answer me on a question on on RUclips channel can you watch it here all time
Is modifying manufacturers product in order to suit installation not a violation of manufacturers product installation instructions? Will the product still conform to standards once it had been modified? For example. If I had bulkhead fitting and made extra cable entry Which had not been designed in. Would this still count as installation in accordance with manufacturers instructions? I am referring here to Ruben modifying wago box.
🥱
As I understand it, BS7671 in most cases only requires manufacturers instructions to be taken into consideration, it doesn't require them to be followed to the letter. Indeed things like basic enclosures often don't come with instructions at all.
Regarding Wagoboxes, AIUI if you want them to count as maintenance free junction boxes you have to follow the instructions, but if you don't need the maintenance free aspect you can just treat them like you would any other enclosure.
13:30 Cory's beautiful hair to go with this beautiful board. Beauty all around.
Very tidy work.
Thanks 🙏🏼
Can we have a video on Remedials please.
Of course you're allowed to tap a consumer unit, it's just a metal box at the end of the day!
Look at any control panel with drives, contactors, circuit breakers etc. you'll find tapped holes all over the place. The better ones have a sheet of metal at the back designed for you to attach things like DIN rail to. Cheap ones you need to fit a rivnut, better ones you can drill and tap.
it was great when cory was at artisans
Why didn't Corey choose for an maintenance free box and WAGO's? Thru-crimp connectors on a mains voltage cable looks so dodgy and DIY'er. Besided that an very clean and neat job!
People been using through crimps since the dawn of time
How long has Cory been a spark for?
That board is a thing of beauty 👌🏽 the only thing that makes me cringe is seeing that ugly black grommet strip. I find the serrated edge nylon stuff the best, using superglue on the rear of the board to stick it in place
Functional Earth Yes, I don’t think they are functional neutrals… nice board btw.
Why did you remove the gas bonding on a pme system?
I think what was there was the gas bond straight to a rod, it is wrong. The gas bond should go back to the MET so all exposed and extraneous parts are kept at around the same potential in a fault, I’m guessing that’s what they probably did.
@@cumberland1234 ah ok. I didn't quite see it in the clip
@@cumberland1234 he should re run a 10mm back to the main earthing terminal in the cu. Whoever doctor simply went from.the had bond direct to a rod
The whole point of bonding a metal gas pipe is that it is metal in contact with the Earth, which can introduce a different potential from the PME Earth. So all possible contacts with the Earth (gas, water, metal framed structures etc) are bonded together at the same potential. Bonding the pipe to its own Earth rod isn't bonding, it's earthing, and dangerous, as there were gas pipes in the property at a different potential from anything connected to the MET.
@@tobysherring1369 yep. I didn't see the earth rod in the clip. He must have run a new one though from.the gas pipe to main earthing terminal .
Wylex do a intumescent strip thats sticks inside lid hope it helps
Cory for Prime Minister
Maybe enviroburst style strip's should be mandatory in new boards or be pre installed by suppliers.such a simple product that can do go
When did jack whitehall start doing electrical work?
2016
Fuking awesome
Tidy box Cory 😉
Noiiice
If Artisan Electrics were breakfast TV - DNO John would be Charlie Stayt and Cory Naga Munchetty
If it’s the asbestos awareness course you’ll know by now you still shouldn’t touch it 😂
Jump to 13:59 for the real answer :).
I am seeing China going hundreds of years ahead of Europe's in technology.
really astonishing to see their commitment. .
Get yourself some grommet strip, much neater.
I can't see how these recessed boards are better than conventional ones. If you need to add a circuit you can't just do clip direct or in trunking. You need to faf running it inside a wall.
Aesthetics, and if you have an access panel where the cables make their next turn it's not horrendous; but does add some additional complexity to minor works for sure.
@@cheeseburgerbeefcake that what he just said cheese burger
20:13 shouldn't ferrules be used there? Or it was not an option here. I need to add this video is pure gold content, thank you so much making such interesting and educational videos, amazing quality!
Pre boot laced leads! You only need to redo it if we shorten them
@@artisanelectrics thank you for the clarification, really appreciate!
I think Cory said earlier in the video when he called the office, he didn't have a crimper with him.
Careful using Cranberries there Cory. Pick the wrong Cranberries, and they'll get "in your head, in your he-eee-ead!"
Cory you said you got the smaller van, is that because you damaged the door again!!! and Jordon saw it and said it was too big for you.....
Cost less to fix a smaller door...
do i spy those fancy japanese cutters there?
Looked more like Boddington croppers.
@@stupot_64 yes indeed not the fugiya ones that Corey was less committed to.
I’m sorry I laughed when he said breast level 😂 mooooooobs
The struggle is real, deleting the McDonald’s app asap
i got an espetos course tommorow, maby today i hsould touch it..... DON'T TOUCH IT CORI..... not like you work for them any more...
Why don't you let Ruben do a board
Domestic electrics look a lot easier than marine electrics…
Ruben: pineapple
Yet another victim of the middle isle at Lidle.
If you cut thread into something use a little oil on the tap. If you don't have oil just a little spit will do as well, but clean the tap afterwards otherwise it will rust like crazy.
It's a TRAP!
Always reverse the tap backwards after a turn forwards to clean the thread out aswell.
You guys should follow us :)
U need 2 work on ur biscuit deeping technique 🤣🤣🤣
Cory looks a bit like Harry Kane
Don't forget South Africans. We also don't understand your distribution boards in funny places.
It’s because we love being squashed into a kitchen cupboard for 6 hours to change them over or work on them
So have you taken over a job from someone else?
Your “consumer unit” looks good, but that bundle of cables on top of it ( the ones that coming in) - looks like absolute rubbish!
You should have nailed piece of plank, and nailed or clipped each one of them to it in a row, leaving the air gap in between.
