HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 июн 2024
- Student training aid for wiring in conduit a lighting circuit using the loop-in wiring method. Full demonstration on how to wire a one way lighting circuit and then extend it to wire another one way light and switch using 1.5mm2 PVC single cables. In this method we take the line conductor directly to the common terminal of the switch and the neutral to the lighting point. The conductors used in this demonstration are PVC single insulated stranded 1.5 mm2.

Great job very clear
Thanks for the kind words GSH Electrical
i know I'm kind of off topic but does anyone know of a good place to watch new movies online?
@Vihaan Matteo i would suggest FlixZone. You can find it on google =)
@Vihaan Matteo i watch on FlixZone. Just search on google for it =)
@Vihaan Matteo Try FlixZone. You can find it by googling :)
One of my favourites of your mate,you made it easy to understand thanks
Thanks Craig for your wonderful support it is very much appreciated 👍
Very clear, think i had a moment before xmas trying to do this in the class room.!
👍. I used to have a 4.0 mm single earth wire that I attached to the draw tape first . This 4.0mm was then used to pull in the other cables to avoid putting to much strain on the draw tape and damage it . Keep up with the videos.
Nice simple easy explanation. Keep up the great videos. I wish RUclips was around when I was learning to become an electrician. Is a great reference point.
Hi. Many thanks, I shoot my videos at 7.30 in the morning all alone in my workshop so support is most welcome... wish my learners would watch them. All the best Gaz
Where are you based?
very good, i learn so much from your video's, they are excellent
This went a long way for me; in this particular day of this particular year❤️
Thanks 👍🏻
Great guidance
Thanks
Wonderful video and great explanation. Wish i had come to your Academy.
very concise and helpful
When I look back wish RUclips was out when i was learning about electrics it was all books then I'm retired spark now 65 love to keep the grey matter working tho great presentation
Massive thanks for the message of support 👍🏻
This is the standard installation practice in Europe usually with flexi conduit chased in the typical masonry walls. I believe its also mandatory in Ireland?
It does make rewiring so much easier.
You make it look so easy
Thank you 🙏
Nicely done sir
Very good and clear
Great video 👍 many thanks.
Thanks for the supportive comment 👍
Great video gaz hope ur well mate
Nice one man
Your video are so thorough great teacher
Massive thanks 🦾👍
A very informative and well presented video for learners, cheers.
No problem 👍
Thank you ☺️
Nice videos thank you very much
Hi. Many thanks for the support GSH Electrical 👍
Great video, thank you. One question; if the nearest neutral for the second light was in the CU, can you take the neutral to the neutral bar in the CU? E.g. if the second light was on the left of the CU.
Excellent video as usual. You make a throw-away comment at about 3 minutes in about not needing to use a draw line as the runs in this case are so short. But for longer runs do you have any tips about how to attach multiple singles to the draw line, without increasing the cross-sectional area or stiffness of the bunch (e.g. by using too many wraps of insulating tape) - maybe it's covered by another video which I haven't yet found ?
Thanks for this great video ... most of the Information in this video i do it in my work from 6 year becuse i use the bs 7671 regulations.

Greetings, I do enjoy looking at your video's. While this does apply to to the UK, I thought i would give you an idea of what they use here in the Philippines. Normal light circuit is single cables, NO CPC used, the use cable called THHN 2mm Sq. Stranded, you also can get solid core. Power outlets, Receptacles, Single wires, use CPC, cable called THHN 3.5mm Sq, Stranded, you also can get solid. Scary part is many power outlets do not have Earth (CPC), so only 2 pin sockets, but of course you also have 3 pin with CPC, a lot of it is based on the USA system, but using 230 volts, plus you also get a different plugs, some round European type and and some straight (USA Type), you can get global power outlets which will take any plug, there are very common. The light sockets, switches, power outlets us push in fittings, there is no screws. So you cut the wire to correct length and push in the socket, switch or whatever. One very good brand is Panasonic, but of course lots of cheap rubbish on market also. Basically no such thing as RCB or RCBO only circuit breaker, as you can imagine lots fires every year because of electrical wiring. Cheers.
Wow thanks for taking the time to put together your message. You bring up some interesting points. Thanks again and keep watching Gaz
Absolutely brilliant video Gaz. However, I’ve made a little rig board exactly like yours, but the only difference with mine is, is that I’ve started with a one way lighting circuit, extending another two circuit which is a two way circuit taking the feed from my original one way circuit and then terminate my cpcs into maintenance free connectors, but when I tested the circuits and flick the switches into opposite positions I don’t seem to get a on and off operation. I check to see if there’s any default wiring but all fine. I’m just a bit confuse in the sense that it’s all wired properly but not working on the strappers. Any ideas on how to approach this.

Hopefully this playlist might help 👍. Gaz
what is the difference with Live cable in domestic dwellings. Its wired exactly the same.
Will you show wiring 2 way switches in singles and emergency lights with switched fittings on same circuit and key switch,I get confused with singles,Great informative videos,Thanks.
Another great tutorial. Can you get junction boxes that fit the conduit incase you were making a three plate connection to an LED batten? The only boxes I've seen don't seem to match the conduit. Kind Regards
Not that I know of... massive thanks for commenting and watching 👍
@@GSHElectrical Thanks for the speedy reply. So how do you use conduit to protect a lighting circuit if you want to use anything other than a bulb holder which has the junction box integrated into the base?
Are there any limitations for using singles in conduit for connecting together 2 outside flood lights on the same circuit. I know metal is best practice but I have not seen anywhere saying its absolute.
why not pick up the live neutral from the first junction box by using a terminal block? If I understand the 18th correctly, creating a branch off the main spur would be allowed provided it would only feed one end point? It would certainly make wiring it up easier and you essentiallyalready do this with the neutral?
Do you identify (mark up) the switch line with any tape? As there are 2 brown cables? What would best practice be for that?
Hi. No identifying required. Thanks Gaz 😁👍
@@GSHElectrical thanks for the speedy reply Gaz. I would have definitely assumed there would be some labelling, would save testing the cables (if you were taking over the job at the point you get up to in this video for example and weren't able to see the cable runs etc.)
Explain for 2intermidiate 2way 2way and 1 socket outlet
Hi. Just a quick one. When the 18th edition is out, is it mandatory to do the course before the exam or is it possible to do the exam only? thanks
Hi. You will have to hunt around to find a training provider that will allow you to sit the exam without training.... try a online training provider e-qualified.co.uk around £130 teach yourself at home package 👍then sit the exam. All the best Gaz
Enjoyed that totally different from the domestic cable wiring, but I can see why you don’t need the sheath protection because the conduit does that job. Could it not be wired with cables as this way seems a lot more work and fiddly or is the point to reduce No of cables at the lights etc. Also most importantly you did your send off too quickly at the end. It’s meant to go. I hope this video has been…….pause some help with a big thumb love that don’t lose it or sell it to anyone else that’s your signature. Cheers for another good explanation.
Thanks for the detailed comment Robert 👍🏻
Is it permissible to use plastic conduit to supply outdoor lighting say floodlights? Is there anywhere in the regs that deals with outdoor light fittings?
+ryewashere_ Thank you for that, is it necessary to glue the fittings together? I am only asking because some videos I have seen seem to suggest that glue is not necessarily required which seems rather strange to me :)
+ryewashere_ Fantastic, thank you very much.
Hi. Black PVC conduit and try and avoid direct sunlight (south facing walls).... correctly IP rated and fitting and seals as well. Thanks Gaz
I have a young guy working with me 2 days a week for experience, he is doing his 2365 L3, sadly his college is pretty useless and I have had him watch your videos and he learns a lot more from your videos than at college!, the college teach him to pass exams but no actual work skills or real world scenarios. Do you teach your students to take the feed to switch rather than the ceiling rose? as its a good basis before going onto conduit.
Hi. Thanks for the kind words. New learners are taught the standard 3 plate loop in method for pvc/pvc wiring and conduit loop in method in conduit. However I have covered feeding the switch with all my learners as it is so common in industry hence the videos on it. Hope this helps Gaz
Why did you pull an extra cpc in when you already had one?
I don't know if it's code in the UK to have to wire this way but it seems like you're wasting about 20% of your wire having to backtrack with your ground/CPC and your Hot/PermLine wire
Again I don't know if it's code but making a junction inside the lighting box with your ground/CPC and your Hot/PL wire would save having to go down and back to the switch
Like I said I don't know what code is in UK maybe they don't allow Junctions inside boxes that carry fixtures
If you could clarify it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Also, I realize this video is 3 years old.
I always run a CPC but in theory everything is double reinforced insulated so need no earthing.
👍🏻
why do u need a cpc in a switch. the box doesnt seem to be metallic. in india we only have L & N. CPC is given if the SB have sockets in them( yes we wire sockets and light switches together). what function does the CPC have in the switch.
Hi. The cpc is at the switch in case it is replaced with a metal one therefore making it an exposed conductive part.

All the best and thanks for commenting and watching GSH Electrical
You can buy 1mm singles, why do you say 1.5mm is the minimum in conduit?
Hi. The exam question is what size cable as a minimum do you wire lights when they are installed in conduit answer 1.5mm2. The reasons for this I explained in my video. 👍GSH Electrical
But in the real world are you pulling singles through by themselves? Surely not.
