[@ElectricianTV]

Thanks John, I hope it helps

[@eurotropia]

You are absolutely awesome! I like your style!

[@Gardenworld831]

Great video very informative currently studying my testing inspection I love your approach to your craft and helping the next generation to grow and learn

[@linksone6287]

Very educational video Will! Much appreciated! What would you do in the case of that borrowed neutral scenario- knowing that if you change to an RCBO board it’ll probably start tripping out when turned on? Cheers

[@PHealey1981]

Real world. Love it

[@ElectricianTV]

Nice one, thank you Paul

[@rodgermiddleton284]

How do you charge for the inspection - each job is different?So much time spent doing post mortems?

[@ElectricianTV]

It depends on the size of the building and the size of the house. If it’s a three bedroom, then I can normally gather it will take half a day for two of us if it’s anything larger than it will probably be a day or so on and so on, obviously we charge by half a day and a full day. If I’m not confident of being accurate of how long it will take to go on a day rate and it will be specified before normally if it’s anything bigger than a four bedroom I would go and have a look before the test

[@Михаиллеви]

Thanks for this and very much for borrowed neutral test hint at 9.40. Editing makes you bit like a rapper at times 😀

[@ElectricianTV]

Yeah I think my edit in on this video was pretty shocking really but I hope you got my points across

[@craiggallagher8397]

What a great video mate

Some gold dust pictures there Will, superb Vid. 💥💥💥💥

[@rayc1503]

Awesome pointers pal, things I'd never have thought of. Quick and informative 👌. I was kinda hoping it would have been longer 😉.

[@ElectricianTV]

Thank you maybe I can re-address in the future

[@Romeworld95]

What happened to the midfield general?

[@ElectricianTV]

He had to have a day off he is back tomorrow😂😂

[@davidelmer2502]

Good tips, my first watch after seeing you on Monday Club. Looks like you've seen it all, mate

[@ElectricianTV]

Nice one welcome to my channel.

[@andrewcadby]

14:10 Why might 'exporting' the earth from the main building to a garage be a problem?

[@ElectricianTV]

If the supply characteristics are TNCS then you are not supposed to export the Earth out of the equipotential zones.

[@andrewcadby]

@@ElectricianTV That is a common myth of our trade. Please can you explain why you think it is a problem, and also can you please reference some form of regulation to back the statement up?

[@ElectricianTV]

Answering without regulations and being out of my bed for five minutes. I would say is to do with pen fault and being out of the taken equipotential zones of the original building.

[@andrewcadby]

@@ElectricianTV I looked into this a while back, and concluded that it's a myth. There is nothing in BS7671 prohibiting taking the TN-C-S earth to outbuildings, apart from a few special locations/situations. I cannot find any evidence that DNO's prohibit it either. Engineering Recommendation G12 ( basically guidance for DNO's explaining where they should and should not provide PME earthing) doesn't prohibit it, again aside from a few special cases, that largely mirror BS7671. It may be a myth, but it's a persistent one - it's been doing the round for decades now.

[@davideyres955]

@@andrewcadbyI’m not a sparky but as I understand it it depends on if you have any extraneous conductive parts like copper pipes or structural steel in to the ground. They could be at a different potential from the earth that is connected to the main incoming earth so possible problem. So no conductive parts earth from main building is fine. Pretty sure there is a John ward video about this somewhere. But like I said I’m no sparky so could be wrong.

[@gregmcfc82]

Very helpful thank you very much w 😊

[@TollyTolly]

Can't find what are requirements for this EICR pass. So if anyone can answer. Had my property chacked and report says I need to replace 2 lights on top floor. Because they have metal body and don't have CPC. But they are LED lights with transformer to 12 V DC. And I'm wondering what exactly they want to earth?? Sounds as BS😮

[@TONE11111]

replace with 2 that have plastic bodies

[@Spark101.]

The screw covers for switches on lighting circuits with no earth; while ideal, are not essential. C3 mate.

[@maydayelectricalsolutionsl7601]

great content keep it up

[@calebbrookes7896]

With regards to extension leads. Isn't that something you can't really comment on considering its not part of the electrical installation? Things that are plugged into sockets aren't to be recorded on an eicr?

[@mickymeltdown]

I've gone an flicked your bean I mean bell Will!

[@ElectricianTV]

Nice one cheers Micky you’re a star

[@TomClarkSouthLondon]

*GEEZER!* 😊

[@chrisnewman4751]

Smashed it 👏

[@ElectricianTV]

Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it

[@Mike_5]

Merch Alert! where can we buy 3 stripe Adidas with personalised Logos?

[@rossmurdoch1886]

Good stuff Will tons to think about here.One point to add Green and yellow should only be used as CPC or bonding IET 18th ed 514.4.2 "The bi-colour combination green and yellow shall be used exclusively for identification of a protective conductor and this combination shall not be used for any other purpose." There is a specific exception for PEN conductors which can have blue over-marking at terminals , but the above is pretty clear for the vast majority of applications Table 51 gives all the accepted colours

[@khingtv6060]

Atleast half a day to do an EICR properly on even a 2 bed flat.

[@jameskearney2699]

Good informative video. Hate the cut scene stutter stuff. Don't do it. thx

[@ElectricianTV]

Nice one cheers mate yeah I can only improve with that unfortunate I’ll make it up as I go along.

[@dougsaunders8109]

Water bonding. If it is fixed to a point, say near stop cock. How is the bond effective if plastic pipe is used around the property mixed with copper? Do you rely on the water to carry back to ground in the event of a fault passed a section of plastic? Nothing more than a DIY monkey here but one bond with mixture of plastic & copper makes no sense to me

[@khuramnasar1905]

Same I was wondering this... I not seem anything regarding this
