Hello Dave and Nige, from an old spark from the 60's. I just love your long fault finding video's Dave, I was totally engrossed again, you must be a genius being able use a new piece of test gear with all those sub menu's straight out of the box. as for powering up for fireworks display, sometimes it's the only way to pin-point a fault, in the old days we had very little test gear only a wind-up Megger and neon screw driver, but I think you did extremely well to find all those hidden JB's and the faulty cable, well done, your top man as far as I'm concerned. Peter.

Dave, just replying to myself, I wonder if you could just correct me if I'm wrong, when you was doing calculation of the 5.5 metres of 2.5 should it have been 19.51 rather than 7.41 milli ohms per metre, I couldn't see too well what you was measuring (R1+R2), not being critical just curious if I've got my facts wrong. Peter.

@@peterrobinson850 Well spotted Peter. Ironically, I didn't have my On-Site Guide on site and I pulled the number from memory, but you're right, it's 19.51 for 2.5/1.5 and it was an R1+R2 we were doing. I also cocked up the decimal point by entering it as 741 milliohm instead of 7.41 which is why the number returned was close to what the tester reported. I'll have to pin this as there's not enough characters left in the description to issue an erratum!

Well they do say that when something blows up you know what the fault is lol. We had a lot of failures at work where we found that bypass capacitors on boards have gone short circuit but they were visually ok so trying to find out what was pulling the rail down was a right bastard lol. If there was a nice shit stain on the board you'd spot it in seconds lol.

Excellent video as always guys. Great to see a common sense approach. Back in the olden days when I was an electrician we did a lot of live testing and no sophisticated test equipment. We did have windup meggers and a lightbulb with a couple of croc clips to test for power! It does seem though that even today the industry appears unregulated and evryone and his mother are doing wiring jobs. I would stress that if getting any electrical work done the best way is by recommendation. A friend of mine who runs a charity shop recently employed a PAT guy and it appears he got his qualification via a 30 min internet course! he got an impressive certificate and a bunch of labels but after meeting him I wasn't sure he could tie his shoelaces.

I work on the motorway networking lighting columns. From time to time you get a few underground faults that insulation resistance testing only gets so far or gives you erroneous readings. When live testing is sometimes required you use it safety and competently as possible. Flicking the mcb a few times sometimes blows the fault clear ! No justification required. Great video David Nz Spsrks.

As professionals you sometimes have to go to live tetsing and being pro's you know the dangers and limit risks and take extra care. It's not a perfect world it's the real world. If amatuers hadn't done the original installation then it would have been safer anyway. Brilliant ending😂

I didn't expect to watch the whole sodding video, but it was time well-spent. One factor which you might have omitted from your risk assessment when repeatedly energising the faulty cable, is the chance of a fire starting within the wall. I'd have watched for another hour if that had happened.
@dsesuk
@dsesuk 3 жыл бұрын
We'd have diligently filmed the fire brigade putting it out for you. I think in this case, the sparky stuff was down to just how wet through that cabling was. Had things been drier, combustion may have been more likely, but then without the water it may have clicked on and stayed stable without any fizzing at all.

Bang testing can be valid if you know what you're doing. My only addition would be, after testing, change the breaker. because repeatedly closing it on a fault can damage it. We found one on a ring final.... because bob the wan...err builder had wired an outside light 'lantern', upside down, onto the ring. Upside down filled the E27 holder with water, and the thud was audible from the livingroom... so i had colleague keep turning the breaker back on. I may have had him energize it twice more just for the really cool flash up the side of the lamp, after i'd located it ;)

Not much you can do with Class II - you'll have a transformer brick I suspect, the LED string then being ELV. A visual test of the brick is about as much as you can do, although you could IR test the plastic case if you really wanted to waste your time. When we're asked to PAT things like phone chargers or other such 'wall warts', the visual inspection is about as much as we do. If it has a DC jack with enough metal on it, you could IR it with the clip on the metalwork, but it would have to be pretty cocked-up internally to fail that test!

It’s really sad but I see this so regularly. I find that the Bathroom is the worst wired room I the house, closely followed by the kitchen with any exstentions next. And its all down to builders, Bathroom fitters and kitchen fitters poor quality of work. I’ve lost count of the times I’ve been looking for the random junction box under the floor or in the ceiling. I must admit I would probably have just called it a day and recommend a rewire of the lights. Being a Friday and all.

I know the primary aim of the video was about the electrical problem, diagnosis and report to customer BUT the property owner has now got bigger fish to fry with the building fabric stopping the water penetration and exposing the internals to get it all dry on the inside which means the tenants are going to have to live elsewhere for a few months. Once the internals are exposed of course it will make it much easier for you to rip all the electrics out and rewire. What a f’n mess. Good vid - enjoyed it.👍 (Any updates as to what is happening at this property now?)

That plastic pipe looks suspiciously like old tar covered cable. You said it goes outside underground. And I think you said the doorway was above that bathroom? You don't think thats the 3 phase supply cable going to the service head do you? I know from experience they sound quite hollow when you tap them. That would just be the icing on the fucking cake wouldn't it?

Sunday saved again, many thanks David. That bathroom was a bodge job from start to finish not only electrically but even the finish was crap. Those tiles were barely stuck onto that sheet of plywood, the whole thing needs ripping out like the owner said. I think the electrics tripping has done them a favour as water has been behind those tiles for many months, god knows what that water/moisture is doing to the structure of the building/foundation. Where did you get that special pen to write MF on your junction boxes? 🤣 Loving the refreshed logos & end titles, very slick.

I REALLY, REALLY enjoyed that so thank you to both of you. Very interesting to see how you went about it, not so much the first issue but more the bathroom one. The working live isn't encouraged by the IET/HSE but it isn't forbidden and your method was a last resort that, as you know what you are doing (I read that somewhere I think but I don't know how true it is), could justify it. I looked at the Metrel 3152 at Sandown the other week as a backup/replacement for the MFT1741+ but wasn't sure with the price point. Have you got plans for a review? They might let you keep it 😉😉

Great video Chaps, a wonderful feature-length presentation full of suspense & good old logical fault finding, it made my day. Thanks for all the hard work that goes into these videos they are very much appreciated. I have never seen such a lash-up by some brainless bathroom fitter presumably & what do they think the CPC wire is ?

Could have been. I'm thinking though that because we had to break out the fan liner to get to it, chances are it's been there since the bathroom was fitted and never did serve any purpose. Something perhaps that was put in for future use and then forgotten about?
