Great video Adam, so many extra bits of work to keep you going there. Re cable testing and live checks, never feel like you need to apologise or explain yourself to anyone on here for making safe, you don't get another chance if you get it wrong. Look forward to the next video. 👍
Very tidy job ,im a 2nd year apprentice electrician based in Ireland love the vids ,seeing you and Nick on youtube doing electrical work motivated me to go do an apprenticeship🤙
That looks like an interesting job, van next to the job is always a bonus. Are you planning on dropping an earth rod or getting the ground workers to dig a hole for a earth mat. I use to fit plastic enclosures outside and find they go brittle after a few years. I now use fibreglass cabinets and reinforce the bottom entry with a sheet of plastic. Fibreglass cabs are expensive but look good. And throw in a silica bag to capture the odd bit of moisture.
Good job Adam, It is so difficult to have a DB outside, to help the IP rating you should have used the round covers that go over the screws and I would put a silica jell pack in the box. As you wont stop moisture in the box. You done the work when it was damp so you trapped damp air in the box so when it heats and cools moisture will build. I would give it a couple of years and the board will start corroding. I have installed a few boxes like that as a junction box and all the din rail connections rusted.
Nice job Adam... Just a suggestion, use brass locknuts on those swa glands vs the standard steel ones, because they will eventually corrode.. Yoo good job 😂
Why do you feel the need to reinstate the temporary 35mm 3 core going to the outbuilding which the owners have sold with a 25mm 3 core SWA on a 63amp device when you already stated it was for chargers and a kettle maybe? For 10 days ? You could have just lashed a bit of 2.5mm on to the 35 and put it on a 16-20 amp device ? I’m also sure that the owners will question the position of the consumer unit in time being that low, and having to find a screwdriver to get the lid off to re set any tripped devices?
Nice job, always challenges! One thing which I didn't see was the earth continuity on the armour.... No fly leads 🤔 Unless you did that bit later and didn't film it?
Couple of questions, Not knocking your work at all just curious. Would an ip rated fuseboard have been better for access if a circuit trips or one of the standard electrical wall boxes with a locked door ? Fuseboard looks very low to the ground and i would worry about submersion in water in the likley event of flooding/pool leak/ boiler leak. Sure theres reasons ive misssed maybe or is it that theres just more than one way to skin a cat. Nice work and great vid and good idea on the rotary isolator much better than a torpedo joint on a tempory supply. Be interested to know how its supplied at the house end, just 100amp fused rcd switch? Hopefully get to see the follow up vids for this 👍
Always issues when installed outside. Condensation etc means it will corrision will appear within 5 years. IP washers and IP67 a must. Never drill fixing through the box.@AdamTheElectricalApprentice
That Gewiss JB is IP56. Always aim for fitting IP67 then you aren't fixing through the box. Get into the habit of using 20mm IP washers for your glands etc. Good job.
It was a bit challenging, ain't? Anyway, nice job done again. But is it me, or the customer drank a few shots more than he/she should, so they asked for a fully closed fuseboard? What if some breaker trips? Will they always screw / unscrew the cover? Asking for a friend... Your chicken legs are extra content, so never mind. ;) :D
Great video mate absolutely smashing it
Much appreciated, thank mate

Very true!
Absolutely agree with what you have done, assuming anything could be lethal, it’s all about going home safe 8:58
Yep , thanks mate
You're absolutely nailing it, so great to see a young lad taking pride in his trade and think of others, both current users and future sparks!
Thanks for the kinds words

Blimey, Adam. That's quite a sophisticated job. But, you've thought it all through and put together a great plan. Good on you, mate.
Thanks mate

Just a suggestion, use brass locknuts on those swa glands vs the standard steel ones, because they will eventually corrode..

Fly leads done after
Thanks
Why does the ip rated enclosure have to be so close to the ground ...? Maybe i missed something
Just as it’s unsightly and there’s going to be access round the back and parking

Yes few vids to follow up
@@AdamTheElectricalApprentice nice one cheers for the reply mate .
Looking good! I would have tried to convince the customer not to have the consumer unit on the outside!
You and me both however I understand why they want it outside and the way I’ve done it there will be no issues
