  • There's always lots to learn, and switchboards are no exception to that. I've gone through some basics in this video, but there is still a vast amount of regulations surrounding switchboards. Insuring that they are installed properly and safely. Switchboards are coved in the wiring rules all throughout, the main of which is from section 2 onwards. I would highly recommend having a look to see what you can find for yourselves.
    I always found when I was an apprentice that there was a real lack of videos and online resources to help me. I think that most electricians are visual learners, I know I definitely am. So it's hard when we are expected to do 75% of our training in books. Because if this I've set out to start making a library of training and explanations to help my fellow electrical workers in areas they might be having trouble.
    Remember, this setup was performed in a controlled environment
    by a qualified electrician for learning purposes only. Electricity is dangerous and can kill you. If you are not
    qualified, please do not try this at home, just enjoy the learning experience.

    Interesting to see how things are done in NZ. In the uk we're not supposed to mix brands of breaker and only use the same breaker make as the manufacturer of the enclosure

    Great little lesson though an RCBO can protect subsiquent MCB’s on a TN-S system if one bonds Earth and Neutral on the RCBO from source. It trips correctly

    Appreciate clued up people like yourself.
    As sadly there are registered professionals/companies that can barely do the basics inlc keeping things safe but also inlc lots of material being out of date.
    The stories i have inlc recent stuff done to my property if wasn't for me checking I or someone else would of probably died and def wouldn't pass inspection but someone still signed off on it.
