Hi Jordan, How do you notify build control with certsuite?

[@martinbroughton6655]

As I understand from this video all the results are added manually. What is the function of the saved results on the tester in relation to the bluetooth function and the software. Both the Tester and the software are Megger, why are they not connected so saved results go straight to the software !!?

[@JurassicJungle]

Great to see you working with Megger. I used their gear at the start of my career and was lucky to do a factory tour in 2019 to look at how they could improve production quality and speed. It was so good to see a UK Manufacturing company doing well. Great to read about recent investments as well.

[@artisanelectrics]

Awesome

[@mikeselectricstuff]

Would be nice if it linked up with the tester over bluetooth, both for readings and test types.

[@artisanelectrics]

I agree!

[@paulogeraldo3079]

@@artisanelectrics at 3:12 you can see a Bluetooth icon on the locking button. Could that button allow send data to the platform? Although the platform would need to recognise what information is receiving from the tester, and properly filling the form, e.g. Ze going to Ze field and PFC going to PFC field.

[@liamcollins8692]

Fluke have been able to do it with their 1664FC.

[@Spark101.]

16mm tails are not a code. As long as: No sign of thermal damage. Main Fuse rating is less than tail rating. Or if overload protection is provided by fixed load / maximum demand being less than rating of the tails.

[@B_T_B]

Cory would be proud! Making videos that teach something! Excellent video thanks Jordan.

[@artisanelectrics]

Thank you!

[@Daniells1982]

That looks like a really nice software. I like the option on the EICR for date of next inspection could be recorded as 'following completion of remedial work' other sheets only allow a period of time to be recorded, which when you've identified observations that need remedial work isn't really adequate. The finished certificate with the contents and glossary of terms etc looks really professional.

[@aaronbooth7461]

Another great video, I can’t help but think that Megger have really missed a trick though. Why haven’t they made a tester which links to the iPad via Bluetooth and once you select the test on the app, it sets the tester to the correct setting automatically, then sends the result directly back to the app? Surely this would save time and reduce the risk or error during data entry.

[@artisanelectrics]

Maybe something they can work on!

[@mattmcc72]

I was going to say the same. It's great to see how good the software is, but it's been designed by an engineer. They need a UX developer to take another look, that constant jumping between the tester and the iPad can be massively simplified. It's not much more of a jump from this to make so that you use the iPad to describe the system and then the tester tell you what to test in order. Only having to pick up the tablet again to describe specific issues found. But Megger have jumped into the software market, I'm guessing they already know this. :)

[@geordish]

It would be nice if they got the keyboard to default to the right input mode for the field. It seems like Jordan was forever clicking on the numeric input button.

[@AAW-Electrics]

@@geordish This is an Apple iPad problem... (I use an Android or my laptop!)

[@stevendavies4006]

Awesome video buddy. Just a point on the comment you made via meter tails being 16mm. The black plastic cutout/service head that’s there may only be capable of taking 16mm tails . Some of the terminal blocks and screws inside are really small and won’t take 25mm tails in them . We would send a Dno c17 code to them and they would be expected to upgrade the service head and cutout.

[@NBundyElectrical]

Great video mate 🙌⚡️

[@artisanelectrics]

Thank you 🙌

[@skamuk1]

We would code 16mm tails between cutout and meter as FI if we are unable to determine the fuse size and type. If we can verify the fuse size and it’s 60A or below we wouldn’t code this as an issue. If we were down to change the board after the report we would insist on finding out the main fuse size one way or another and if we find we need to upgrade the tails (80A or higher fuse) we will get the DNO out to do so if it’s on their side of the meter. If we’re in a rush or forgot to contact the DNO then we will cut any seals and do it ourselves!!

[@waithereivegonetogethelp3240]

Better to check the bonding on the pipe itself than on the connection. That's what's important after all.. and you only need to record 5x in the RCD as it's a 3omA, 100mA and above you record 1x. (New to 18th edition)

[@AAW-Electrics]

You should test the main protective bonding at the connection AND on the pipe at 0.5 m to 1 m away from the bonding clamp! (See Fig. 2.16 on p61 on GN3 (18th Edition Am 2)

[@garywynder]

Your videos are getting better as time goes on. Practice really DOES make perfect: (Especially when it comes to making youtube videos). Don't forget to acquire a good quality lapel microphone, so it picks up your voice more clearly than your phone does.

[@ZeldaMaster500]

i've watched so many of these videos and im still wondering why there is no dedicated space for an electrical room in these houses, UK has the strangest spots for panels, code book needs a revision ASAP

[@thomasstafford514]

You would tell the customer to contact their energy supplier and not the DNO for the cable change, the fuse you can contact the DNO.

[@MartinAdamson1988]

As long as it's

[@user-vs9pg1rj9d]

Bluetooth enabled testers that automatically sets the setting and transmits the result to the software?

[@artisanelectrics]

Its the future

[@JohnSmith-kb5ku]

Nice one, Simon. ;) Top work as always. Nice and clear. It’s great to see your channel going from strength to strength. Long may it continue.

[@garybardrick311]

Looks to me that there's a Tenby clip on the lead sheath cable. Needs a braid and a constant force spring

[@acelectricalsecurity]

Definitely, but on a lot of you tube videos they never comment on that, those clamps are for pipes not cables.

Excellent video Jordan, really interesting software from megger.

[@SamLee-lk4pn]

Hi, what tablet do you use? and thanks

[@memorymaker990]

Does Certsuite work without internet connection? Do they sync together so I can adjust any details that our electricians have inputted?

[@dringonator6911]

Good practice there Jordan, how many people I’ve seen just turn off the main switch….

[@artisanelectrics]

Thanks!

[@rutlandboy]

No sign of the photo's you took while inspecting in the EICR report Jordan ?

[@peanutpotion]

Nice video Jordan, maybe on an EICR could you do an uncut version where you physically go through the tick sheet? Cheers mate

[@artisanelectrics]

I have done some of those if you look in the back catalogue!

[@dmlelectrics8990]

Another great video 👍 The Megger 1741+ & the EVCA-210 are great bits of kit & they look professional, I have them & use them too. I do remember when you had that clunky Rolec EV tester way way back 😆 🤣 its good seeing how good your doing & how far you've come. All the best to you all.

[@shanksgaming2827]

Im a trainee electrician and I have the 1741 Bluetooth version. It's really user friendly and learners like me can use it a bit easier than other testers.

[@artisanelectrics]

Thanks 👍

[@eamonnohalloran2254]

Great video . JORDAN.. Maybe some clarification of abbreviations for your non UK viewers. "BODGE" has to be word of the day. And maybe borrow some cardboard form Cory's cardboard classroom for show and tell. Can't wait till Monday.

[@artisanelectrics]

Thanks for that!

[@junaidkadiri7288]

What tablet are you using there? The camera's pretty good on it.

[@artisanelectrics]

[@acelectricalsecurity]

I hope it's better than the crappy powersuite they used push out, that was crap, I used their nicone in the early days and it was ok, but that power suite was crap.

[@delspark]

i do love your vids 👍🏻on the 1741+ you have the EV test which does your RCD and DC leakage tests all together

I think Fluke do a similar piece of software?

[@dannyboisparky]

Great video Jordan. Any negatives about the software? I’ve used a few and there has always been a couple of annoying things that they do/don’t do

[@artisanelectrics]

One or two glitches we have had every so often where data has disappeared but a quick call to tech helpline and they have got it back for us.

Upside down Henley block a C2 ?

C3 but if any of the knock outs are taken out and accessable c1

[@robwright1557]

upside down or not, provided the the cable enters the Henley block correctly its no code from me.,

[@craigpatterson4269]

gotta agree, I've had to put one in "upside down" no unused knockouts left, tails were tight entering so no breach of ip4x and inside a metre cupboard. ideally I would have mounted it differently but at no time did I see it as code able.

How long have you been practicing for?

[@MrAdam0121]

I work for a company that only uses the niceic online certification software, what benefits do you get from paying for a software over the niceic one ?

[@artisanelectrics]

I used to use the NICEIC one but it’s so limited and the reports don’t come out looking very good especially when you have extra text which it doesn’t give you room for you have to create continuation sheets etc. It’s a massive time saver using CertSuite as well.

[@acelectricalsecurity]

Aren't you paying for each cert with the NIC which can end up being costly as opposed to purchasing outright, when the certification software first came out, the NIC only licensed software, then they seen an opportunity to make even more money with their own.

[@paul_smith66]

I know this is sponsored by Megger but I'm always a little suspicious when there's nothing that's a bit shit about something. Not accusing of anything untoward here at all but there must be some things you'd like improved or have not been included or are generally annoying. You have a lot of viewers now and they look to you for an honest warts and all appraisal. In my experience, being paid by the manufacturer does not lend itself to the best appraisals of things unless, of course, there are things you didn't like or didn't work properly or were, in your opinion, totally missed out. Not saying you have to go as far as Mr Savery in his brutal appraisal of EasyCert. I know this wasn't a review of the software in and of itself and it was more how you use it, but we are getting near the line of advertising. I'm sure it's awesome software but it had the feel of being closer to an advertisement. I still watch every video!!

[@seandempsey7351]

First off why was it time for the CU to be up dated? Was in good condition any signs of damage or over heating or burning? Did all your test fall with in spec ? I can’t see any thing that would lead me to think it is not safe for continued service. Other than that you don’t have enough room to add an EV circuit.Point two is this video about you or mega ? Why are you promoting mega there are lots of different brands out there that are just as good even better.

[@liamcollins8692]

It's a bit of a joke that the Megger doesn't connect to the Certsuite software via Bluetooth. The Bluetooth functionality on Megger is a joke. Fluke has been able to do it with their 1664FC with a very nice app on Google/Apple. I'm stuck with my Megger now but would not buy again!
