The Norwegian / Icelandic electrician here! 👋 Cory, Thanks for spending the day with me. It was a lot of fun. Hope that we can repeat this... ☺ Just a note on the mistake on my part. The cables that needed to be rerouted were not the right cables mentioned in the video. I misread notes in the report and fixed right cables afterwards. 😅

[@Deiphobuzz]

Cool to take a look at my northern neighbours, NL here. Your wholesaler looks exactly the same as ours, with the scanning etc, ours is just not open 24/7. Your installs also look pretty much the same. Do you have 3 phases a lot in domestic properties aswel?

[@helgiheidars]

@@Deiphobuzz I see more 3 phases connected then 1 (400V TN) or 2 (230V IT) phase in domestic properties.

Much appreciated!

17:50 You DID NOT just take that screwdriver out of the 9 hole and then put it back in the 8 hole. SHAME.

[@corymac]

🤣🤣😂

[@mrbugenhagen3364]

If anyone is interseted, phase reversal would make a motor go backwards normally but nowadays everything over 5kW is controlled by a VFD and it doesn´t matter if you reverse the phases into the VFD. You would have to switch the phases going out of the VFD or change the settings in the VFD to change the direction of the motor.

[@lewis94uk]

That Grey phase is looking a bit toasty

You put the screwdriver in the 8 but you picked it up out of the 9 😂

Hi Cory, phase rotation - well yes. Many moons ago I was working on a farm slurry pump and yes you guessed it, the phase rotation was out of sync and - boom it blew instead of sucking. The result was not pretty and my boss and the farmer got covered, kept my job but only just !!!!

As a DIYer and looking from the outside in I do agree about wiring under floorboards fuel for the fire. I love cable trays and should be used in lofts so all cable above insulation. Tough if this is more expensive. What price safety. Kinetic switches should now be used in all rooms even the bathroom as I have done. Great video seeing how others work. I hope their tradesmen are better than ours.

Mind also blown by the wholesaler. Still don't like the european way of conduit bends and congratulations on the Visa.

Earthbonding the cabletray, that was wrong in so many ways. 😊

[@corymac]

Explain how

[@ettselectricalservices9428]

If the tray is an exposed conductive part it requires earthing. If the tray is and extraneous conductive part it requires bonding. If the tray is neither of the above it requires neither earthing nor bonding.

[@kristiangoransson6104]

Changing the phases can be hazardous. I had a conversation about that today and he mentioned a solar company that tried to do the customer a favor by swapping the three phase to brown, black, grey. They had to pay ~10.000€ for the repairs to feeding systems etc.

[@jim575757]

If a motor starts spinning the other way round this can cause alot of damage. Usually the rotation is changed in a location with a seal here in The Netherlands.

[@kristiangoransson6104]

@@jim575757 I prefer to switch the phases on the actual motor connections to maintain the proper phase sequence as far as possible in the installation. Using hybrid motor starters and frequency converters are really convenient though

[@itsnotagsxr4053]

This is totally not important hit you were half right about the large 3 phase fans used in industry settings. Get a phase out and it will run backward however the majority of dust extraction fans are centrifugal and will always extract. If they run in the wrong orientation the velocity will be significantly reduced (I’ve found typically 1/3rd of the velocity). Like I said, not important but the more you know.

Seems like manufacturer would have made panels to cover these originally .Gerry rigging perspex covers although they work and are non conductive .You seemed to instal by drilling in to the face of some of the breakers. which. should there be any future accident would void the manufacturers warrenty. Silence work around exposed bussing no chatter!!!! no more than one person in the space at the time no exposed skin either arms of legs !!! PPE cause there are no second chances.

Domestic in NL is also 3phase mostly btw :D

[@Ragnar8504]

Having watched a few NL spark videos I was surprised to see that the three phase usually seems to go into three double-pole RCDs in new boards, which then feed a group of MCBs each through L+N bus bars, rather than one or two four-pole RCDs with 3L+N bus bars to the MCBs. Also interesting to see that old Diazed fuse boards had a switch for each circuit after the fuse.

Why would you put a C for a car charger? There is no motor or something to cause a big inrush current. Type B trips at 3 to 5x nominal. At c63A, it will never rush in 250 A for a charger.

[@corymac]

It’s not one charger, it’s a whole car park full of them, and it was blowing the type B on start up.

[@Deiphobuzz]

@@corymac was the type B tested afterwards? That should never happen.

[@jim575757]

@@Deiphobuzz not sure though if it's an good idea to put an entire car park of chargers on one B63A.

[@JussiPeltola]

It is the same for sockets, fitting B breakers will result in nuisance trips after a power cut or brownout when a bunch of switching supplies are plugged in. Unless your loop impedance is poor enough to require B, it is much better to just have C everywhere. In Finland the pre-made boards usually have a random assortment of B and C. If you are lucky they wired the cooker and sauna into the B16's and your sockets into a C16. Otherwise you will have nuisance trips.

Phase colors used to be black, grey and brown back in the days in Norway. Now it is black, brow and grey.

[@corymac]

That’s not half confusing 😂

[@JussiPeltola]

Sometimes they are rotated on purpose, for example in apartment 1 you have 123, in apartment 2 you have 231, in 3 you have 312, and when the installations in the apartments are clones of each other, you end up with balanced phases. Obviously you keep the rotation correct. It doesn't make much sense in the input of a large distribution board though, unless the building has 3 or more large boards.

In the NL in domestic single-phase they apparently solve it by calculating housenemer modulo 3 and then the installer (grid supplier) knows which phase to connect in the particular house.
