I feel sorry for this customer....

Great content as always. Thanks Delroy 😊😊

I dont know if youve done it before but you can make an educated guess of the length of a cable so can then get some of idea of where it could be going. Because the cable has a certain resistance per meter then testing resistance and multiplying will give you the length of the cable and you can then have an educated guess of where it probably goes.

[@mainlineelectronics5266]

They have also used SY cable which isn't compliant. I like when Del says, “I don't know what it is, but what it is this"

Nice Vid Delroy. You have excellent communication skills

are you for real?? lmao

Looks like a proper bodge job, meshed the old plaster and skimmed over it, badly too...hiding all the damp/loose plaster for a while...at least until job has been paid for

[@zero2005uk]

I believe the board is an MK Sentry split board with SPD and an RCD protecting the MCBs to the left. I couldn't find any MK RCBOs which have Green LED indicators (nor any other manufacturer) So the other 6 devices aren't RCBOs at all, but are in fact AFDD/ RCBOs most likely MKs H44-H45s range. See David Savery Electrics testing video on them: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYvXhKZ8d9dngZo at 41.10 MK and Fusebox. It's obvious the builder installed the AFDDs simply to increase his profit, most probably citing the Grenfell fire as the main reason to upgrade. However, if he really was that conscientious about safety he would have used RCBOs for the lighting circuits as I noticed a metal switch in the room he was working in.

The outside socket has 2 neons on it, that’s what you was reading

@@andrewtomkins2485 100% thought that from the first mention of a 0.12Mohm L-N short.

@ me too. Would have gone straight to the outside socket. Bit premature to be speaking about splitting to radials. Them rcbos look like afdds too 😜

@@andrewtomkins2485 they sure do. My sentry £115 a go!!! So odd to have a bank of afdds and then rcd controlled circuits!!

[@curtisj2165]

Can't you just get a longer busbar for the rcbo circuits?

[@Rich15511]

I think your chasing a neon in circuit within the out side socket del

[@curtisj2165]

I had a look at the outside socket, couldn't see a neon. I would have run the insulaion tester through the socket to see if there was an internal fault. Also with that design of outside socket the socket itself be swapped out for another one without having to replace the entire thing

[@Rich15511]

Looks like a bg socket. They all come with neons as far as I’m aware

[@Rich15511]

I’m not sure 1.91mA between L and N would trouble the overload or additional protective device…

Hi Delroy love your content!!! if your still in contact with that customer you could tell him that D2 on the unvented is in plastic pipe and it should be copper..i assume the installer was not registered...

[@george.mathieson2]

Good job Delroy.

[@alantorrance6153]

The Builder did electrical work? Surely he should be traced and prosecuted for illegal work.

[@geraldelwood9660]

I expected you to do an IR on the outside socket to confirm the socket itself is faulty (damp). Also why not put both radials, formed by splitting the ring, onto a single 16A AFDD, if a low power loading could be expected. ie electronics plus the occasional hover. It's surprising that the builder bodged so much, but then splashed out on AFDDs.

[@richierich8334]

A house that size on a single 16?? No chance

[@firsteerr]

just from the mitres the terrible finish on the walls you KNOW this was a cowboy job and the owner knows it so why would the installation be any different ?
