I love how all the KZbin sparkys have banter between each other, but also help each other if needed. Tom Nagy is highly respected by the other KZbinrs and viewers, he doesn’t seem to want to get drawn into the banter between other channels m, but his content is different, talks about small things that electricians may face everyday but don’t think to talk about. Nick’s channel, Artisan’s and another good one - Green Hawk Construction offer good tips for learners, and once these smaller channels get bigger, they’ll end up being the start of banter I’m sure!

[@TheChipmunk2008]

Indeed.... i really hope tom isn't thinking people hate on him... he works in London, which is a lot different to most yt sparks... so what works for them, doesn't work for others...

[@calummcmillan3691]

Prefer Tom over them all, no slow mo cabling clipping with him, just the real deal.

Big fan of explaining your work, you need to keep that up, even if you've done it a thousand times before there are students coming into the trade that won't know you've done those before and won't go searching for them and miss out on good quality technical knowledge, keep up the work... if only other employers that teach teach as much as you guys do to your audience and employees, I think that the world is going to be so much safer in terms of electrics.

[@richiegtridentelectrics9635]

Possibly one of the best videos you guys have done a bit of teaching some reaching out but best of all the giggles. Love it. I hope @Tom Nagy is ok. I guess most of us live in the protected world that everyone on you tube is best buddies and would love that to be the case. Take care all.

cable tie round the inner bedding to stop it splitting is a good call, i typically use tape, but i'm with you, I leave the bedding on to 'behind the DIN rail, just for appearance sake :) tip for 'needing a different size hole' overlapping with an existing knockout, the bolt up metal hole 'punches' can work where a normal holesaw will cause the original knockout to fall out and ruin your day. Also, keep a stock of conduit size adaptors for when you need to put a 20mm into a 32 ;)

[@richardpowell181]

You guys should make a book on practical electrical skills. I'd buy it

[@jauncey_8643]

Great work. Just a small thing the minimum required resistance on an insulation resistance test is 1M ohm not 2M ohm. 👍

[@corynoahmac]

Back in the 16th Edition Regs course, the figure was given as 1 Mohm with a recommendation for 2 Mohm, because the JPEL committee and HSE agreed to disagree. (IET 1 HSE 2). I still feel anything below 2 Mohm indicates damaged insulation.

[@dg2819]

@@corynoahmac thanks for the reply. Can’t speak for 16th edition as started training under 17th which is 1M ohm but I do agree that it is a very low reading and agree readings that low would indicate problems and not acceptable for continued use 👍

Cory. Let’s go for a pint! I’m a QS and find this kind of work very interesting and if I had the personal time I would retrain as an electrician. I’ve just bought a 1900 terrace which has no electrical work carried out only a consumer box change. Would love someone as passionate as you to carry out the rewire it’s worth the extra money in the long run.

[@Peter-yj3qq]

Hello from Germany, in case of a connection between a live and a metal housing, do you really use an MCB in a TT for protection? The German regulations say that the resistance from the earthing rod to the ground is too high to have enough current to trigger the MCB in time. And during my time as an electrician the ZS was always way too high in a TT to use the MCB for that. Do you do better earthing rods on your side of the chanel???

[@chaseohara4781]

As to your stripping back the cable too far comment Corey, it's interesting because I always note how clamps and strain relief don't seem to be mandatory in Britain... In Canada/America generally you're Required to have all cables coming into a box of any sort under clamp to provide for strain relief and the outer jacket Must be under the clamp so that the inner cable insulation won't be damaged.

Any idea why Cory moved the Garage Supply from one side of the Fuseboard to the other? It was a split RCD Fuseboard, both sides were protected by a RCD.

[@steve11211]

He moved it so it was not covered by an RCD, it could be that the RCD in the board is not type A, even if it was its not great if there is an issue with the car charger that it takes out half the house electrics and all garage electrics, at least the way it is now it will only take out the garage electrics, although surprised they didnt put in an RCBO board in the garage.. The supply cable was armoured so does not required RCD 30ma protection.

[@bramcoteelectrical1088]

Also can cause binding on the house rcd.

[@nw5835]

As it's not in the description, what is that folding worktable/bench, thanks in advance.

[@matthewnuttall1049]

Quick question as I come across this the other day. Internally the garage circuit was run in pvc twin and earth within the building fabric then swa via a wiska box, so I deemed it best to keep that circuit protected via the rcd in the main dB I just wondered weather this was the same situation with the consumer unit looking like it was on an internal wall?

[@jimsouthlondon7061]

So a terraced or a £350 k semi detached house with a driveway and a looped supply a Home charger no chance ,so a granny charger on a lead in a waterproof freezer box it is then for about 60% of UK properties with off street parking

Hi great Video guys as they all all. Quick question as you’ve just thrown me (29 mins in) your discussing earth fault loop and quote maximum disconnection of 0.4 seconds. As the example is a TT system isn’t max disconnection times 0.2s up to 32A and 1s for circuits over 32A? Or am I misunderstanding the regs??

Nice. But, my big worry with this is how close it is to the gutter down pipe? In a perfect world the down pipe is perfect, but we know the world isn't perfect. Sooo, down pipe fills with moss, or otter crud. And the rain floods over the EV charger, Charger may be IP 68, but would you be 100% happy? I don't have an answer, but please debate.

@@GeoB24 It's section 643.3 and specifically table 64. And you're correct the number is 1MΩ, but if I'd just installed two meters of cable and had a reading of anything other than off scale high I'd be wondering why. I don't think 2MΩ is at all unreasonable as a one stage more stringent than the absolute minimum. There are situations in which it can be a lot lower, the IR of solar installations (conductors to earth / the array frame) can be well down in the tens or hundreds of kΩ range depending on array sizes.

So informative yet so funny. I just want to read his book when it comes out " Letters to Mom" Diary of a well fed apprentice. That downspout did not help matters with the EV installation plus that low hanging light. Then the head mount and cable have to cross in front of the down spout . Could'nt be helped.
