    Great episode Cory. Good for you, doing what you want, when you want, where you want. Bournemouth will have loads of houses in need of bringing up to a more modern spec, and older customers that are wary of kitchen fitter sparks. Once the word goes out how meticulous and honest your work is, you’ll have a full diary in a few months. All the best, Ian

      No, it doesn't look like it is connected, but it would depend on the PEN fault arrangement as having the armour of the cable earthed at both ends would potentially bypass it.

    Given the increased loading being seen on domestic properties, due to the installation of EV chargers, solar and heat pumps etc, it is likely that burnout connections will become more common place. Working in industrial, it is already a fairly common fault to find as the higher currents tend to expose them better.

  • @dglcomputers1498
    @dglcomputers1498 Год назад

    We're moving into a place that had a fire in the kitchen, this was after we had put an offer in and the previous owner had it all "sorted" via her insurer, new kitchen, full repaint and new carpets throughout.
    Now imagine my surprise when it turns out that the kitchen circuit (just a 20A radial for everything including an electric oven) trips the RCD. Taking the cover off the distribution board shows a fair bit of smoke residue on everything, and really is something that should have been replaced as a just in case.
    Turns out there is a fault between the cable that comes from the distro to the kitchen and the sparky we got in cannot fathom where all the cabling is going (for example if you power up the circuit from the one side that will not trip the RCD you get the sockets that side plus the utility room working but not the cooker hood that's on that side). Ended up with the old feed from the distro being ignored and it being wired as 3 16A radials, left, right + utility and oven. There was also a mess of round junction boxes behind the oven unit and the kitchen sockets have been fitted fairly ham-fistedly, with filler/silicone used to fill the gaps between the socket and the tiles.
    Also interesting is that the utility room had sockets for a washing machine/tumble dryer yet it has a shower, that got replaced with a couple of switched/fused spurs. Also interesting is despite it being a radial there are two sets of 2.5mm feeding the outlets in the utility, though it's unknown what the other one is for as there is nothing else we can see that it feeds.

    Looks to me like that terminal was left completely undone.
    That’s one thing that frightens me, I check everything 3-4 times and even then it bothers me that I might have forgotten one.

    • @Ragnar8504
      @Ragnar8504 Год назад

      I pull on every single wire after triple-checking all the screws. That way you can spot wires that slipped behind the terminals, I've had that happen with some brands of MCBs. You can tighten the screw all you want, the wire will still be loose.
      Many years ago I briefly checked a mate's 1970s electrics in Prague and found a wire in one of the MCBs that was completely loose, clearly the screw had never been tightened. Fortunately it was on the least dangerous circuit, there was (no kidding) a dedicated 10A circuit for the bathroom extractor fan and it was this wire that hadn't been connected properly. All the other connections were reasonably tight, even though the lighting circuits were partly 2.5 mm2 aluminium.

  • @tonywebb9909

    I think they have large circuit boards in Europe as they use radials which are 16amp at the breaker because a lot of their plugs have no fuses as we do in the UK.... I may be wrong, i'm a joiner, but that is how i understand it. I go to sweden and they sometimed tell me not to put the toaster and kettle into sockets next to each other, or not turn them both on at the same time 😮 otherwise it trips the breaker..... No such issues in the UK.

    I'm a gas engineer for a large company (British Gas). The number of emergency call outs I get regarding cowboys in the trade is horrifying. I attended a job one time where a bloke had not bothered to secure the boiler to the wall. He had simply covered the back with grip fill and pushed it against the wall. When I got there it had begun to peel of the wall and the main gas line leading to the boiler and almost pulled out causing a nasty leak. The boilers are supplied with a mounting kit which my 6 year old could install.

    We moved from Bucks to Dorset last year and we are loving being walking distance to the sea. We are renovating and extending a property that currently still has its original wire fuse board from 1970, as you would expect we have found some very poor additions over the decades. We will be going for a full rewire, adding Loxone and hopefully solar and battery.

    Many people no longer take the time to check their installation properly and that's what annoys me the most in this job. Our profession is one of the most dangerous in the world and can have immense repercussions on the lives of many people. Fire, electrocution,... so many things that can be easily avoided just by testing properly. All this just to save more time, money by playing with customers' lives. They make me hate my work 🤮

If you have a non bs RCD protection in the charger which I'm lead to believe is the case, but one upstream what is the point of testing it. Possibly the PEN fault protection is the important part of the charger.

      If I remember correctly, the miniature is as you say 2-pole switching, but is only RCBO protection on the "L". I think you can get a version that has protection on both L & N.... But forgotten where!!
