Broken ring. Try this. Plug a load in one socket and establish a LN pair. Unplug temp load. Take the L and the other N and connect to breaker. Take the N and other L and connect to Neutral busbar. So now 'half'the ring is reverse polarity. Take socket tester to each socket in the ring and find where the polarity swaps over. Broken ring - take two (after going to bed) If L1-L2, N1-N2 & E1-E2 are not rings, next tests are: N1-Nbusbar, N2-Nbusbar, E1-Ebusbar & E2-Ebusbar To examine the possibility that the wires/circuits are rings but their other ends are connected to a different breaker. NICE ! Do not assume cos it's neat, it's been done by a competent electrician ! A good electrician would tag each wire/cable with a circuit number ferrule - wouldn't they ? :)

[@dsesuk]

Good tip. Can't do much until we can access all areas, so moody teenagers will have to get out of bed sooner!

[@millomweb]

@@dsesuk Well, you've got the loose ends handy already and it'd save taking loads of sockets off the wall to inspect wiring - not that that's a bad thing - just a pain in Nige's crack. I've updated that comment with the suggestion the two rings could have their other ends share another breaker. Sparky's just miss-paired the ends. Interesting result though - 2 rings with a pair of 32A breakers - giving 64A on both rings. This'll be the in-wall heating as well as under-floor. Now you know why the g/f has a sprinkler system - all the wood in them floors! As for the tape measure - thought you could have used flexi spy cam to see what it was stuck on !

Hi david when installing an earth rod is there a best location to put it . Like a flower bed where they water regularly or is it best out the way. And would you also use a 16mm earth

[@dsesuk]

Hi Greg. I'd try to site it close to the CU and somewhere that leaves it visible for future inspection but where it's not likely to be damaged or disturbed. I would use a 16mm earth wire to keep the resistance as low as possible. A flower bed may be an option, and we saw such in our recent domestic EICR video, but you'd want to ensure it's not likely to be damaged by someone swinging shears and spades around and that there are no nearby large trees or bushes whose roots may push it up over time.

[@gd-bq7em]

Should a new consumer unit be labelled with the installer details ? Is there any reg on it?

[@dsesuk]

An excellent question Ben. Reg 514.12.1 requires the inspection and testing label to be affixed, and any new installation or retrofit consumer unit shouldn't be going live without full inspection and testing of all final circuits, but that label is, in my opinion, woefully unfit for purpose as it only requires inspection dates, not an installer ID or certificate/report reference number which my stickers also include. Part 6 lists the requirement for certification, and for that certification to be signed by skilled persons, but other than that identification on the certificate, no other identifiable details are required to my knowledge. I would think that any diligent installer who does this as their profession would be happy, even proud to slap on a label with their details. Where it's missing, I always suspect it's a duff job, either by a non-electrician, or by someone saving on the pennies by not providing the paperwork.

The red incomer switch on the top consumer unit. Is this the main switch for *both* consumer units?

[@dsesuk]

The Proteus CU is a double-stack board, so although it looks like two consumer units, each with it's own cover, it's really a single DB. The tails go into the main switch, then off to the two RCD's.

[@johnburns4017]

@@dsesuk Thx. It looked that way. Never dealt with Proteus. So from mainswitch two tails (joined into one terminal for mainswitch) to each RCD? How does it get from mainswitch to both bus bars?

[@dsesuk]

@@johnburns4017 A few brands make stack boards, Hager being another example. I've never installed them myself, although I have come across them. From the main switch, there is a connection to in the input side of each RCD. Can't recall how it was done in this case, but I think it was with insulated copper links. From the output of each RCD is a busbar to feed the final circuits.

[@johnburns4017]

@@dsesuk I wonder how they do it if both CUs are all RCBOs. I can only think of 25mm or 16mm tails between the two CUs, either with crimped lugs or soldered ends, into the terminal of one of the RCBOs in the sub CU and into the out terminal on the mainswitch in the master CU. Both in the same terminals as the bus bars. Or use these: www.soddele.com/busbar-accessories/mcb-busbar-c45-adapter-box-1p-2p-3p

has the builder got enough cement to fill all the cracks. That circuit is either two radials or theres a socket been missed, it looked like that rcd was not in correctly maybe a loose connection. I have mentioned it many times to the nic guy, about manufacturers sticking 63amp devices in boards when in theory they could be having 80amp 0r 100amp put through them, and the fact we are still allowed to use split load boards, because these boards do not comply with the regs technically.

[@jaye8578]

Think the whole installation needs full eicr or a bomb on the way out

[@olec8978]

Be interested to see if it is a crossover of 2 different rings on 2 different circuits. I have seen this before. I know there are some good tips on finding that out but fir ease I would say just turn off the circuit in question (with the rest of the board live) and martindale it, that way it will remain live with the other leg coming from another mcb. If it's a crossover 2 breakers would need isolating

[@bonnywail]

Never a dull moment in the wonderful world of Dses..👍

[@tlangdon12]

Might the previous installer have intended the two SWA cables to have been used in parallel? Easier to route two 2.5mm than one 6mm?

[@dsesuk]

Could be. I didn't confirm the CSA yesterday, but will take a closer look. Shouldn't have been that hard to run in a 6mm though.

[@westinthewest]

@@dsesuk There are certain advantages to using parallel conductors when it comes to saving on copper, bending radius constraints and when you've run out of 6mm. Voltage drop can go against you if it's a long run. Regulation 433.4.1 is one of my favourites.

[@dsesuk]

Yeah, but these pop up just outside the front door so it's only a few metres. Nothing that would make an installer think volt drop or ease of installation were factors. I suspect one is for car charging and the other for external power as the homeowner mentioned maybe putting in a pond.

If it's just basic moves and changes then a minor works cert will suffice. Don't forget that the 18th Edition MW asks for data that the old one didn't such as ring continuity end to end and Ze, so with those plus the local circuit impedance (R1+R2 and/or Zs) and IR, then even a MW will require full testing results.

Great video!! Iam always getting cold calls telling me I've been in a car accident... I tell them to fuck off aswell! 😀👍🏻

[@dsesuk]

Quite right too. It's the only way they'll learn!

[@millomweb]

So who are you going to report the failed RCD to ? It failed the test button test - clearly the test button should not have worked if your meter couldn't trip it - so it's failed.

[@dsesuk]

I've reported it to the homeowner, and I'll be replacing them both next week.

[@muzikman2008]

Ha Ha loved that guys!...:-) funny as fook!... i enjoy my subscriptions more than my own daily electrician life. wish i was having as much fun as you lot. Nige needs to stop pumping that shit in his lungs, but I doubt he cares anymore,,lol. Looks like a Recording studio with all the different layers of insulation in the flooring?...I have one too, but don't need as much isolation, but electrically i'm thinking of rewiring it to suit...hmmm.Is it a 100A incomer?...loads of circuits to contend with lol. Not being funny but, is that mcb you replaced ok in that board? i know you said it fitted, etc, but what would NICEIC inspector say? this is one of the reasons I don't want to join a scheme, so so many hurdles, and hipocracy man, i don't get it..:-( Great video Dave nice to see the variety too :-)

[@dsesuk]

Thanks as always. The new Proteus MCB still fitted the older board, and a 20A is certainly better than a 32 in that thing. As for fun, I can assure you that no fun was had by either Nigel or me in this video!

[@dsesuk]

Not a fan? I've fitted a couple, but don't offer intruder alarm services any more.

[@DorsetSaferRoads]

@@dsesuk last time I looked they don't conform to current regs, they are 2 wire with a common anti tamper loop rather than FSL. They have no logging function either which makes intermittent fault finding a real pain especially if the customer doesn't look at what lights come on... Which of course they rarely do! Can't go wrong with a nice scantronic 9651 for basic installs.

[@dsesuk]

@@DorsetSaferRoads In that case, I'm glad I'm out of that game!
