Cory’s Classroom for the win

[@adrianstavrakis9126]

Consider starting Cory's classroom shorts?

[@FinlayCredland]

I’m an electrical apprentice but I’m industrial I work at a power station and it’s good watching this and learning more about both sides! Cory makes it so much more entertaining and enjoyable, keep it up!

[@Matt_Sl]

Some tv- station should give Cory his own comedy show 😅😂. Tis is just pure gold. Good work guys!

[@drpantastic1969]

Can u do more demos with the actual settings on your metrel or do a video on it please I literally just bought one and it's a bit confusing at the minute.thanks in advance

[@huwdavies6650]

OK, how many times did any of you whack your heads on that insanely low garage door?🥴

[@NathanOlooney]

You know what surprisingly none of us did all day...Miracle!

[@ebarreira1]

Cory you are a natural entretainer. Very nice explained and enjoyable to watch. Oscar is a nice apprenticer and very helpful 👍Once again well done lads!!!

[@gregorythomas333]

Cory is just a hoot! Nice walk-through of the testing procedures...we have different ones in the US so I like seeing how you guys do it.

[@kevinjones8516]

On the Metrel you are using you can connect the Green and Blue test leads together for 00-ing leads and perform your R1R2 test using commander probe to line and combined blue green to the circuits CPC.

[@craigcallaway1352]

At any company quality staff is very important. Very professional .explains correctly just like yourself jordan..perfection is the word im looking for

[@stephenmoore2840]

Fancy helping me out for free in Trumpington tomorrow. I've got to check car chargers as part of the PPMs. Haha

[@kyoritsu7886]

My name is Kusaka of Kyoritsu Electrical instruments works, ltd. I learned a lot from watching the video about measuring instruments.

[@jontownsend8090]

Cory's classroom spot is spot on. You would make a great teacher, putting those nervous amongst us fully at ease. Just be mindful of the French way of life, Ze will be through the roof.

[@geoffupton]

cory's humour is classic! 😁😂😂 learning stuff too (worrying as im not even a sparky! 😱)

[@dannyboisparky]

Cory is a real asset to artisan and this channel. Seems like a top chap, could quite happily work along side him. Any vacancies? 🤣

[@danielelise7348]

The police have no leads 😂😂😂

[@___AD]

I am a simple man. I see Cory. I click.

[@artisanelectrics]

WISE

[@CB_ChaosLove]

Supremely enthralling

[@JamesJames-um5xq]

Im assuming from your vid that its not a requirement to test the integral RCD DD @ 6mA DC. Reason I ask is that looking at certain Metrel and Megger EV MFT's and they have this function. Can I install and test EV's with a standard Magger like the 1721 ?? Anyone know.

[@alansayers9637]

Alway look forward to Corey's videos, top draw once again and classroom quality. look forward to the next video.

[@artisanelectrics]

Thanks glad you enjoyed it!

[@sparkyjkj11]

Good knowledge.. wish there were more like you in our trade. 👍👌

[@normanhartill1424]

Great video. Hate to be a pedant but Continuity is best before IR otherwise in case of an open circuit the IR test voltage would not reach the complete circuit. Cory, I see you are well on the way to losing compos mentis status - it's the curse of all electricians, welcome to the club!

[@terrystephens1102]

Cody, your sense of humour is fantastic 😂😂😂

[@TheSadcyclist]

Have got absolutely no idea what corey was trying to show on the test, but quite funny intro and neat work. PS im not an electrician.

[@tww5719]

It's a wonder you didn't get zapped,that was the Bundy boys in them planes 😂😂

[@MatthewHawkyard]

Really great video and as always Cory providing concise information. Crack on!

[@artisanelectrics]

Thanks glad you enjoyed it!

[@jamesmonaghan4460]

Can’t get enough of this guys banter 😂👌

[@artisanelectrics]

🤣👍

[@Cablesmith]

Nice work lads 👌🏼 yea I’ve been debating wether or not I should be that guy that points out R1+R2 should be done before IR 😝 in your defence tho, you can clearly see both ends of the cable it’s not exactly a complex circuit 😃

[@RichardArblaster]

I'm glad you took that cover off. I was starting to get worried you'd never find us 😆😆😆

[@rossthompson1635]

Really enjoying the presentation style, the humour and the classroom bit. Top work, thank you.

[@shaunfreeman972]

Good use of apprentice cable holder...gotta have a gsh in the cold n damp..😊

[@allybaker712]

Cory shares his tip, apply cold compress to my brow. Now how about painting his back door with blackboard paint and giving his classroom chalk pens. No more unsightly tape.

[@chiquita71]

I’m ex sparky but must admit I’m here for the Cory eye candy...

[@sheargillsparkie9588]

18:35 “I’ve got my spearmint M&S chewing gum in, two pieces, I don’t wanna sound as if I’m not from Cambridge”..... Top class..😀👍🏽

[@asp217]

Z loop (ZL-PE) is not a non-trip test, it is a high current 2 lead test which produces around 6A of test current. The green lead is not required to be connected at all, I think you are getting confused with Zs rcd, this is a 3 lead non-trip test

[@Sparklife-UK]

“A lot of people have asked for my tip” 😂

[@pg1144]

Really enjoyed your videos and I'm not in the trade well done keep them coming

[@artisanelectrics]

Glad you like them!

[@daverdaceng]

This guy is funny! the video is interesting, why would anyone thumbs down - well done guys 👍

[@MikeCCO]

Learnt a lot. Maybe I could go 'Live' at the Apollo with some of these jokes - and learnt a good deal of testing. ;)

[@petertallowin6406]

I thought that the NICEIC preferred/allowed Calculated Zs on lighting circuits, elsewhere it should be measured. If I calculate I just make a note on the certificate as to which results were recorded by calculation. R1+R2/R1+RN before IR but my guess is Cory knows that and was testing the audience...... Excellent video as always. Edit* That Metrel is a beast of a machine....

[@darrenqualters2341]

I think it’s generally preferred to calculate it as much as possible, to minimise the risk of working on a live circuit, therefore fused Spurs, isolator switches e.t.c would be included too. The only one really you can do it safely on is socket outlets

[@petertallowin6406]

To be honest pendants are one of the few instances where it should pose any real danger. Trying to get my damned Megger croc to stay on the CPC terminal.... Fair point though.

[@tomosslattery]

GN3 states Zs calculation is always the preferred option

[@9plusinstalaciones]

Instead of silicon bring a gland through on the inside.

[@almerdiahmed3160]

Nice job thanks ❤❤❤

[@janehoward509]

My night, no, my week, is made. Getting me through lockdowns. Thanks so much.

[@artisanelectrics]

Awesome to hear

[@garybibby2698]

Love these videos from Artisan’s new social media manager Cory. Also glad to see you recognise quality distribution boards ;-)

[@artisanelectrics]

😁👍

[@adrianstavrakis9126]

Vive la résistance! Although London Grammar would soften the cables more 😉, without having Cory "wasting his young years"

[@johnfenlon458]

Great Team work!!!!!!!!!! Thumb up! Cheer!

[@serj6891]

EIC for EV charging point is it a similar certificate as normal EIC? Thank you

[@s_a_m_85]

Have you guys done a similar video for testing a Hypervolt for example or other similar ev chargers? Thanks

[@andrewpowell6457]

The Cory & oscar show 😅 Love it & very informative

[@mrkind_se]

Extremely entertaining and high level of expertise! I love this! Keep up the great work!

[@Ted_E_Bear]

The best channel for comedy and educational content !

[@artisanelectrics]

Yep! 😁

[@jimgeelan5949]

@@artisanelectrics never mind mate lockdown will be over soon and you’ll be able to get some proper amusement

[@mathman0101]

Top video as always. Get a spare clip for the earth probe - you will be compromising the CAT ratings for the tester. Also not great for Oscar to see this. At least explain to him why these probe shrouds are important.

[@tahseenashfaq]

Class video again by Cory, Jordon get him a white board will ya need some more classes 😂

[@PaulsRoadshow]

Yes a nice whiteboard on a classic blackboard easel would be cool stood at the back of the van and Cory wearing a Cloak and blackcap!

[@eamonnohalloran2254]

Good video Cory . Cranberries are a good choice for wire installation flexability."you got to let it linger" Your first mention of the Sine wave. Good! Does Oscar understand the physics of what is going on .I am sure he does .But assume nothing.Cory's classroom is a good move. A lot can happen there. Thanks for calling the role. never mind the distractions like aircraft as long as the engines stay with the plane. the cookoo at the end was nature giving a shout in . Is O'Looney Media a branch of O'Looney Tunes? asking for a friend. Keep up the good work. Hope those mad dogs don't show.

[@artisanelectrics]

Haha thanks glad you enjoyed it!

[@huseyinmorgun6142]

Brilliant video and explanation 👍

[@artisanelectrics]

Glad you liked it!

[@NickW1111]

Totally mad, but great fun 😂😂 Thanks guys

[@samuel2j213]

16 dislikes , must be those wild dogs Cory scared off 😂

[@jeremykemp3782]

How many peeps missed the joke at the beginning? Police have no leads, on the missing dogs.. This guy cracks me up, straight off the bat to, Boom.

[@Treefrogging]

Do you not have to protect tails going into CCU as it’s a garage with a risk impact to the tails?

[@pinchermartyn3959]

Very good

[@calvinmcmahon2714]

Hi can I ask when you carry out zs test on a zappi through the evse adapter do you get a high impedance results is that why you didn't record carrying out this test

[@simonboulton978]

I loves watching you guys, it is very useful information classroom 👍. Yes Jordan must pay £1 per dad joke is bonus 😆. Keep it up guys.

[@chrishamill4821]

Do the zappys not come with type b rcds?

[@tomosslattery]

Sorry to be 'that guy' Cory, but R1&R2 should be the first test, then IR.

[@lewis94uk]

Yes I was taught the cripple method of testing.

[@neil6438]

I agree T S Electrical and what's the point of removing the cable on the load side for the R1+R2.

[@kevinpoore5626]

Your EV crew is a trip the hey as long as everything goes right everybody makes money lol :-) :-) just remember it could be shocking

[@michaelkeating962]

Can you do a video on meeting your whole team!

[@artisanelectrics]

Maybe one day!

[@ewancrawford1836]

Cory is the type of fella you wanna work with

[@jordanmurphy2713]

Loving videos as usual just wonder if you did a sub board with spd to comply or is that standard now? And was the zero actually zs at do?

[@jordanmurphy2713]

Ze not zero

[@rickcostelloe8770]

Hi - not seen this tester before. Could you let me know what is. Always used Megger previously.

[@paulprescott7913]

Metrel.

[@bradleymay4770]

Good video mate, where do you get your All your EV work from? Is there some scheme for registrarerd installers to be on? Or is all your stuff private? As you seem to pick up a hell load of EV!?

[@haydenvlogs3666]

I love to come and work with you guys

[@magicash4716]

Always continuity before insulation resistance. Other than that it was a great video

[@eicrcomplianceltd7590]

A quick question, i know it's a straight swa but don't you do continuity for your first test?

[@rattlehead85]

Yes you should do the continuity test first to confirm the integrity of the conductors before going onto I.R tests. Doing the I.R first could give you acceptable readings when in fact you have a break in the cable which an IR test cannot detect unless the cables are shorted out or insulation damaged.

[@scotspie501douglas7]

brilliant video

[@bobbyzilla]

Don't do a Zs to minimise live working but it's ok to do a Ze? How does that work? I'm sure NIC just make it up as they go along

[@Froggability]

I think Corey is a Droid? Both left handed and right handed 7:50

[@raithwilson6845]

Continuity of protective conductors inc circuit protective conductors is before insulation resistance test.If one of the cable is damaged then you cant test a broken cable for ins res all the way

[@Froggability]

Actually curious, measurement of ZE is with earth neutral connected at the board hence 0.3 reading right? But the diagram shows minus the neutral, would show earth electrode alone, typical result 20 -200ohm, which not likely to trip a breaker on earth fault.?

[@darrenqualters2341]

He might have had the neutral connected, but the test itself doesn’t include the resistance of the neutral conductor. What you mentioned about an earth electrode having a higher resitance, that is when RCDs would be used for fault protection rather than additional protection

[@Spark101.]

Do you not test the 6ma RCD element of the zappi charger?

[@scotspie501douglas7]

how can 13 people not like these videos

[@ariskolbaba7166]

hiya cory im a 17th edition electrician i want to start installing ev charging stations i dont have 2391 testing cert what do i need to install test ev chargers just zappy 2 and andersons dont want to get involved with spike rods.i need to self certify my work im from leeds

[@TheMikg1]

Cory, was that you I followed down the A1 to stevenage @3pm?

[@artisanelectrics]

Yep! 👍

[@TheMikg1]

Lol i was in the dirty taxi that passed you (wont be driving it when ive finished me exams lol)

[@Podelect]

Can you show us the ct for the zappi and how the load balancing works

[@jonathanbrown9245]

Huge excess of silicon? I know you were joking and you really meant an inverted gland to keep it IP rated 😉 If someone did run out of glands and had to use silicon 'temporarily', its best to drill a small hole at the bottom rear, as water will creep past the 'temporary' silicon

[@janehoward509]

Watch his last vid

[@rusty73]

Can anyone tell me how often EV charge points should be tested? I understand that you would want to test the supply cable along with a periodic inspection of the rest of the installation but what about all the functional tests? I can't seem to find any info in the regs or online. Thanks in advance

[@365aqualife8]

Hi from Malta

[@markellis5672]

It is good comedy guys R2 + N 😂 leaving terminals exposed and unattended when carrying out an insulation resistance test 🤣 then only testing until you see the reading 😅 so funny

[@nattybyrne]

Wild Dogs on two legs, doing electrical work!

[@RichardArblaster]

Great video 😎

[@artisanelectrics]

Thanks!

[@Cyborgdelta1]

my god what was with that dad joke at the beginning :D

[@henryandreassen1214]

Who is Oscar? Can one of the og's explain?

[@230879Darren]

Would love to see you install a Tesla power wall

[@UserName-yk7om]

Uh ... It seems I stumbled into one of these a Cory/e courses 😏

[@hogg8888]

22:00 that 100% the final fantasy tune

[@gmcmaster1985]

Cory is brilliant, no offence Jordan!

[@artisanelectrics]

That’s why I hired him! 👍

[@JorgeAMG187]

Why is Oscar not in the New Videos anymore?

[@KM-jv8vi]

Can you experience serious health issues due to the radiation when working as an electrician?

[@ThatMarkGilroy]

Cory’s tip 🤣🤣🤣

[@jamieh8667]

7:46 isn't the live core loose/come out ? just as you move the neutral in position to connect?

[@Mike_5]

Lets face it no one apart from Stirling Moss would be brave enough to attempt to park a Mini in that garage ...

[@pauldiamond4142]

3:20 what is make and model of the tester?

[@ajkhan743]

This guys fab
