Thank you for this. I'm a level 2 student whose teacher is more interested in sitting on his phone, rather than doing literally anything else. This has been a great help to me.
Glad you found it useful, Please share with the class - sorry you have a less than interested teacher (I'll use that word loosely). Please Like Share & Subscribe.
I wish I had found your videos 15 years ago. I started a city & guides course when I was 40, I get the wiring but struggled with the maths & theory. I was working as a decorator so had no one to help out of the course. The lady teaching, although she knew her stuff really couldn't explain it, she just assumed everyone there understood A level maths. ( which it seemed all the young students did). Ultimately I gave up as I thought I would ever pass inspecting & testing and the course was very expensive at a private college. I have learned and understood more in this one video, than in an entire term 15 years ago. I have just wired an outbuilding I built, lots of sockets, lights, two way switches, heater and consumer unit, and really have the urge to get qualified. I do have an electrician that is over seeing what I have done as I do it, who is going to test it all. Brilliant videos, invaluable to someone like myself. Thanks.
@@sparkyhelp3997 with the help from people like yourself, I think I could do it now. The difficult part now will be finding someone that would take me on, as you need to be working as an electrician in order to be assessed, as far as I am aware. I am going to try though, with your sort of information, I will at least be able to demonstrate that I have a reasonable understanding of the theory to any potential employer. Thanks again
Thank you so much for all your videos, they are of phenomenal value. May I ask about the socket adapter for the Fluke 1662? It has the 3 leads in one connector, instead of 3 individual and my question is where are the separated values obtained when L-N and L-CPC are cross connected? Do you bridge the red, blue and red, green ports to get separate readings? Once again thank you, for all your uploads.
HI Thanks for watching and share with like minded people, the 1662 version (from my understanding) for continuity. Extract from Fluke manual: 1662: Use the L and PE (red and green) terminals for this test. Hope this helps please check out my other videos more coming soon. Please like share and subscribe
Every student/apprentice should be subscribed to this channel. First class. Could I make a request for a video please. Would it be possible to do a video on the Fluke multifunction tester. I have a Fluke 1653B
Thank you, I can't promise it as i have other in the pipeline as you may appreciate, they take a while to do. But you never know. Again, thank you and I'm glad you found them useful, please Like Share & subscribe.
Thank you, I can try, but sometimes I just don't have enough time to cover the subject with the time it deserves. I'm glad you find them useful though.
Hi, there should not be anything plugged into the sockets, in step one (see at 7min in video) the ring is the end to end of each conductor, this ensures the fixed wiring has no breaks and is of equal lengths. Hope this helps, Please Like Share & Subscribe.

Honestly so many sparkys on RUclips but you've really gone to the effort to bother explaining all the theory with simple diagrams... Great video 👏

I like your videos, educational, but can you fit them in about 10-15min, would be great. Please do more, you are good. Many thanks!

@@sparkyhelp3997 Love them! Thank you. Expand with some fault finding, EICR filling forms.
I'll see what I can do
Great video 👍 how did u get 1.37 for max zs please?

What is the ring in step one if nothing is plugged in?

I calculated R1+R2 ÷4 = 0.525
You are quite correct, don't know why I put the extra zero in - I blame the Director! Please Like, Share & Subscribe.
it’s a fluke !!!……if you get the same reading twice 😂😂
It certainly is no Fluke...
