    Good job. Good video. The DNO should swap that incoming fuse carrier to a GRP unit. Customer should be able to get that done for free due to its age. If there really lucky DNO might add an isolator. Keep up the great RUclips videos.

    Top quality as always Sean. I can remember them old bath and sink switches. Bath done the immersion at the bottom of the tank and sink done the one near the top. I take it the lighting circuit is wired in twin aluminium cable 1/.044 equivalent size to 1.0mm 😆😆😆

      @adierob1 2 года назад +1

      Mk is still making them and I think electrium under the voles name make them. I've noticed this last couple of years scolmore is starting to really come to the front of electrical accessories after having being about for a number of years but being unknown. I noticed they make boards which I didn't know about.

      We use Hager and square d Schneider boards but the way the industry is now they are all nearly made in the same factory with a different name put on them. Not a fan of contactum stuff but like you say scolmore click has a good range and I like the way you can swop the backs out for different configurations. I like your fuse idea on the fan isolator that's neat and the way to go to comply with the fan manufacturers instructions

    Great video pal! Good to see Ryan progressing with an awesome CU change! How do you code things? Do you use the napit codebreaker book or the usual, use your best judgement ie the cable in the cupboard you changed to C2? Thanks mate

    • @Cablesmith
      @Cablesmith  2 года назад +2

      I did have the book but I lost it somewhere. But most of the time I’d just use my own judgment unless it’s something bizarre I wouldn’t know what to code it. But yea the cable for eg, I’d imagine the book will say c3 for an unsupported cable but the book can’t see how easily it can be pulled out the back of that socket for eg, so in that sense it’s not gospel imo.
