Love the tidy ness in your work. You can tell you take pride in what you do. Well done. Must be earning to much for penny washers to be used on jobs like that 😄

seems a stupid name really, consumer unit, its a box with fuses, hence fuse box, i dont know why its not just called a fuse board everyone knows it by that name, except the IET like to change things just for the sake of changing things, another example direct contact or indirect contact it explains itself, but that got changed, they are a pain in the bum. Although always helps to change things, make enough changes and they can fetch out another regs book, roll on the 30th edition, ha ha

It has been known as a consumer unit for many years. Also fuses? nowadays circuit breakers.

Great video , what are them cable clip things ? Never seen or used them?
@MyTrustedElectrician6 жыл бұрын
Hey mate. Their purpose is to keep the cables in the trunking in the event of a fire destroying the trunking / lid. Keep the firemen safe when they're feelingtheir way around a room in the dark / smoke

My Trusted Electrician in Carshalton what are they called ? Or who makes them ?
A consumer unit is defined as a particular type of distribution board, which suggest there are many different types of distribution boards and a consumer unit is one of those types.

being from Australia we call ours fuse boards, but i believe when there installed in a business, factory, warehouses etc there called distribution boards, an a consumer board when installed in houses, i may be wrong but i think you,ll find there mostly called distribution boards when installed in large companies etc, although i believe Americans do call them distribution boards ?
@MyTrustedElectrician4 жыл бұрын
I believe we refer to ours as Fuse-boards when they contain BS3036 BS1361/2 or BS88 fuses. Distribution boards when they serve for public use. Consumer unit when they're for personal use (domestic). It's not in writing but this seems to be agreed my the majority so far.

Very neat and professional job as always, The only thing I didn't agree with is that the internal fire clips you have used should be secured using some masonry screws, In the event of a fire the clips would be held in place as opposed to plastic rawl plugs which would melt due to heat

Plastic Rawlplugs have been deemed to be acceptable for the 18th.
@Михаиллеви Жыл бұрын
The rawlplugs are in the wall. By the time they are incinerated and maybe dislodge the place would be burnt beyond recognition after an intense fire. Who would be around by then to get tangled in falling cables ?

Another great vid. Fantastic to see the use of metal fixings in compliance with BS7671:2019 2 Things 1 i think my polo has got lost in the post 2 When fixing the conduit to the wall did you use rawl plugs? In the event of a fire these can melt and we're back to square 1 with falling conductors.
@Baggiolyful6 жыл бұрын
HiddenWarrior this is the question. Where does it stop with metal fixings 😄. My theory is that rawl plugs wouldn’t melt first and the fire would get to everything else before it reaches plastic inside a stone wall surely ?.
@alvinashman63716 жыл бұрын
There's not been enough clarity with regards to this regulation, I would say screws, metal plugs and fire rated clips above doorways and archways only, everywhere else plastic plugs and fire rated clips will do.
@stevenskillern94706 жыл бұрын
No need for raw plugs to also be metal. Plastic raw plugs are still fine. I read some literature a while back where an experiment was carried out and the raw plugs didn't melt until around 800 degrees Celsius (can't remember the exact melting point) again once a fire is up to 800 then this is way past premature.

I agree Alvin, over doorways, arches and down narrow passages. These areas I use Dewalt walldogs, a bit pricey but they're very good. Got too many red plugs and screws to just bin em! I now use Fire Fly clips in mini trunking.
