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

[@pskham]

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

[@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!

[@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 👏😊

[@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.

[@niklaskhathutshelo]

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

[@nickc764]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@wcp2021]

One word, you are a brilliant teacher!

[@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.

[@psynanotic-tunez5999]

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

[@bonginkosishazi2592]

[@LNETINVESTMENTHOLDINGS]

Best lecturer ever👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

[@markalexander5124]

well worth watching, thank you from a non electrician.

[@Collinnaidoo5276]

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

[@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

[@e.valchev2819]

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

Well done on a great walk through on wiring and how and why it all fits together safely.

[@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

Wow. Well explained. Kept it similar and in layman’s terms. Now I understand my pool db.

[@ksh0504]

Good Installation and presentation. I learned a lot. 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.

[@andatibruno2707]

This is very clear thanks for the video

[@Chux48]

Anyone regardless of skill level can understand, well explained

[@Christophereasy]

Thanks a lot. This video explained everything i needed

[@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.

Wow that's awesome🎉 keep up the good work 🌱@#seeds hands 🌱 is loving you

[@SkillsFx]

Simply amazing! Keep up the great work brother

[@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.

[@JordanKatie-tz2fy]

Keep up the standard sir

[@jeaneric7314]

This is very helpful for me , thanks U sir 😊

Thank you sir, this is so detailed

Excellent. Any video on 2 way switching...

[@MrJFoster1984]

Much appreciated 👍

[@timothykalumbi3275]

Well explained boss

[@spirotrifonov7101]

Very well explained.

[@hamiltonpianos]

Thanks for this; really enjoyed the video!👍😊

[@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.

[@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
