How to wire a single phase DIN rail distribution board - practical demonstration (South Africa)

[@MC-zv2zu]

Not one word irrelevant or redundant, the knowledge is transferred efficiently, sufficiently and beautifully to people who need it. Thank you sir.

[@pskham]

Such a great teacher… I m not an electrician but understand your presentation 👏👏👏👏👌

[@niklaskhathutshelo]

I am a self taught electrician, such videos are beautiful, keep up keeping up❤️❤️

[@davidkotze4140]

Thank you kind Sir for your perfect explanation ...as a 73 year old/young beginner to basic electricals ...you've explained all I need to know so that I can complete the wiring for my workshop ....you efficiently delivered the required information without wasting a word ! Very impressive 👏😊

[@usefullprintables]

Extremely clear explanation if you ask me ! Not only that but i searched the whole internet and found no usefull explantion of the distribution board . Youre the winner!! ;)Greetings Belgium

[@nickc764]

Super Clear Cut and easiest to understand amongst those ive seen trying to understand this. Thumbs up!

[@anthonycouzens8356]

Couldn't find an explanation on how to use the two neutrals on an MCB but your explanation made it really clear and now my hot tub is working perfectly on a smart breaker thanks to you!

[@PixUUK]

Brilliantly compiled and presented. Finally a wiring diagram that makes sense. The way you present it showing the actual kit is so much more understandable/relatable than the competition that use animated graphics. My thanks for making this clear to me.

[@wcp2021]

One word, you are a brilliant teacher!

[@BoswachtBlog]

All I needed, I searched for "simple DIN rail wiring board " and your video is the only one that made sense. Thank you so much.

[@nkatekoshibambu3196]

Brilliant tutorial with excellent visuals. Anyone regardless of skill level can understand.

[@halftimealready5694]

The clearest video I have watched, answered all my questions. To follow up I have today added a new breaker to a sub panel for a new outdoor socket works a treat, thanks again for your video it helped enormously.

[@bonginkosishazi2592]

I never thought I would ever understand the arrangements in this board.thank you..

[@psynanotic-tunez5999]

I don't usually comment on KZbin but I have to compliment you on such a clear and fantastic video. Thank you

[@kamohelomahasele8653]

I'm a South African and and a Power Engineering student and I would love to meet you and gain practical experience on this field from you Sir. You're the best

[@MrMClivo]

Very well explained. I just stumbled across this channel and I wasn't even looking for this info but I needed it.

[@allank6406]

You have presented that so clearly in a very easy and definitive way for anybody to understand. Well done, now back to my DV board now that i know what to do. Cheers

[@geoffthecarpenter]

Finally a decent video clearly explained without the B.S, being an electrical novice it helps heaps cheers, 👍 from Australia.

[@BronzeFilter]

you have done an excellent job of explaining. Keep it up. Well done.

[@ClorisLi-f7x]

the most simply but clearly demo, thanks for sharing

[@DanBurgaud]

ADD: It is common practice that all INPUT (or supply, source) electricity are to connect from the top just like this 4:17. In this video, it just so happens that the supply wires came from the top; however many installations have the wires from the bottom instead, ie pulled from the ground up, but it is connected to the tops of the CBs. 6:17 Even if this looks ugly, it is a best practice. Some CBs have special circuits on the tops. Fuse Holders for instance have the fuse connected to the bottom. If one wired the bottom as source, you wont be able to hold the fuse.

[@tynashalbert1182]

Can you provide your link are you electrician indeed

[@Ta-bongs]

I didn't know about this but now I know all thanks to you easily explained 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

[@markalexander5124]

well worth watching, thank you from a non electrician.

[@Se1kus]

This is the best explanation I found so far, thanks

[@tonyMmonje]

Love this. excellent. professional. very clear language.

[@lerongovender2956]

Sir thank you for such an easy explanation,was always confused for some reason. Now I understand fully

[@barefootbilly7026]

Baie dankie, goeie onderwyser vir 'n totale leek wat krag betref. Ek gaan dit nou doen!

[@Collinnaidoo5276]

Thank you you make it look so simple. Now i know how to connect a db thanks to you take care.

[@pepsi4menu]

Amazing lesson. Very clear and concise. Thank you for sharing your knowledge 👍

[@afrochurcher2676]

Your teachings are the best

[@Andrethebum]

This is definately the best video. Thanks

[@bialy100k]

At 1:20 author mention ferula, as fair I know it's reccomended to use them. And things which was omitted and should be mentioned at this video: Cable glands and LABELING of the switches. I will say the last one is very important from practical point of view.

[@zaffyloot5556]

Great video! Thanks for taking the time... provides the necessary detail

[@e.valchev2819]

Interesting, exhaustively, understandable.I am happy now!!!

[@mikaeelmumba2408]

Got it at last.Excellent tutor you are.Thanx.

Good Installation and presentation. I learned a lot. Thanks

[@derickwabebe5918]

perfect iam an electrician ilove your work

[@bennasaayman1778]

Amazing demonstration, but if you ever decide to do a follow-up video try adding the correct way to extend a wire that might've been too short

[@anelemafanga2912]

Absolutely love your work.

[@Christophereasy]

Thanks a lot. This video explained everything i needed

[@orangefox1]

Fantastic video!!! Even this accountant understands it.

[@accessdevelopingzone7603]

Thank you for the informative and clear explanation. I have one question: why isn't a jumper used between the neutral and earth busbars in a neutral-earth linked system?

[@andatibruno2707]

This is very clear thanks for the video

[@berhanumek]

Thank you for your clear tutorial

[@SkillsFx]

Simply amazing! Keep up the great work brother

[@AntonZwijsen]

Absolutely excellent explanation! The best one on the net. This video will cause electricians around the world to be jobless, do you realise that?

[@ecologicaltime]

thank you

[@ABDULLAHIAHMADBabaniko]

You are amazing thanks for this educative information

[@IAmThe_RA]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the 63A is an isolator switch, it is not a circuit breaker. The 63A rating means it can handle current up to 63A, beyond that the switch can get damaged, melted or burnt.

[@Antharishk]

U can get both isolator plus MCB in 9ne switch.

[@IAmThe_RA]

@@Antharishk Yep i did not watch the whole video that's why I missed that part 2:47 where he talked about differences. In the UK usually it is rare to see a double pole MCB inside a DB board. Only single pole MCBs, double pole RCDs and an isolator switch. You may also see RCBOs and an SPD. And of course there is another isolator switch after the meter and a fuse before the distribution board.

[@FrankTepani-fu1zl]

Simple and straightforward

[@vusimavimbela8764]

Thanks sir ,you really explain very good .I'm wish to this job

[@franklynhuman4934]

Very good & clear explaination.

[@dharmeshkalan9057]

This was so helpful, thank you.

[@RenierWessels]

Great video as always!!

[@ivanreddy2448]

Wow simplistic and very clear.

[@ndumisosiluma8094]

Thanks love it very well explained ❤

[@waydeross]

Excellent. Any video on 2 way switching...

[@DlokovuMngadi]

Best teacher👌🏾

[@rayblade6383]

Amazing video! Thank you so much.

[@martinfoster5163]

Very informative. Unfortunately, I have 380v 3 phase main power. So my sub-panel is a bit more complicated. In fact, it's a bit of mess. I live in the mountains of Mongolia and it's pretty remote but we do have grid power. We mainly use 240v appliances except a heating boiler which uses 380v. It's not so easy to use bus bars because I distribute power from different phases. I use jumpers from the main switch to each circuit breaker instead. Well, at least the electrician who set it up. If you would do a 3 phase supplied video, that would be awesome. But maybe it's not that interesting to people.

[@peterpooe3145]

Whats the size of the live wire looping aroung to feed CBs ? SANS says 14mm but most homes I find 10mm

[@charless6716]

very informative - well done

[@NsambaSteven-mt5nv]

Good teacher ever

[@ayandalobi5618]

Great presentation precise and clear

[@scamsuncensored7740]

This is good quality instruction.

[@zekmsiska4501]

Well explained, thank you

[@vusimpofu3834]

I love this and you are the best❤❤❤

[@DanielAlor1]

Thank you sir, this is so detailed

[@andrewhaine7217]

Would it be possible to build this setup on a 10A circuit breaker coming from the main db board? Going from 10A to a 63A/16mm circuit breaker would be violating the bigger to smaller rule, not so?

[@travourtabvaneyi9315]

Thank You for this,I learnt alot

[@jeaneric7314]

This is very helpful for me , thanks U sir 😊

[@naturalsounds4724]

great video, can you make a video how to wire an inverter to your main DB

[@gilbertroberts8614]

Great clip to watch. Do you have a tutorial om how to wire Solar and inverter to your existing db board?

[@ecologicaltime]

not yet

[@JordanKatie-tz2fy]

Keep up the standard sir

[@oldbhdoldbhd1466]

Very clear video. Just one question: at 6:22 you use something you call a "bus bar" to bridge between the three breakers. Any idea what that's called in N. America? Over here the term is only used for the terminal strips in the corners of your box. Maybe a knowledgeable N. American viewer can jump in? Thanks!

[@olivergovindasamy4882]

🎉 Excellent explanation 🎉

[@sonwabisotakayo5916]

Thank you this is so useful

[@iancoghlan6886]

Thanks for a very informative video. I am not an electrician, but knowledge is power. I have a question: I have 3ph supply. My main MCB in primary DB is rated at 50A/415V. While the main breaker in each of the 2 sub db's is 63A/400V. The main DB also contains MCB's for each of the 2 sub DB's. These are rated at 63A/415V. Why is the Main MCB of Primary DB rated at 50A while the Sub DB's are rated at 63A? Also i'm wanting to swop out the Sub DB MCBs located within the Primary DB with smart breakers to monitor energy consumption in preparation for near future Solar installation. However, the smart MCB's available is only rated at 63A/380V. Will it be advisable/acceptable to do such a swop out? many thanks. Ian

[@dermotconlon7204]

Hi I want to fit a 2.5 cable to my board what size circuit breaker should I use Love the video very easy to follow

[@MagicMan0027]

Are you allowed to use FTE cable to wire light switches and wall plugs and connect to the DB board? And should the FTE cable also be in PVC conduits?

[@IvaSerge]

Nice. But still some issues to be resolved. For flexible cable special cable lugs to be used. Direct connection not allowed. Dynamometric screwdriver to be used to be sure, that connections are pressed correctly. Labeling circuit breakers not enough. Cables to be labeled by wire identification rings. So this quality maybe Ok for your home, but not enough for commercial product.

[@lexysalex6533]

Great demonstration.

[@magiciansandmagicshop]

would love you to do how to connect your invertor to your distribution board

[@noahriding5780]

So... I got a couple of these to use on my solar system. One of them is backwards on instead of being off when green its red when its off. And then when I switch it to green its flowing power. The others are all different than that where red means power is on or 'hot'. What do you do to fix it when they are backwards on the on and off switch? And has this happened to others? Thanks
