What we usually do in schools is put a small sub-board in the practical rooms so that it is easy to reset the RCB's when needed, and we usually have one key switch (instead of the red button) at the teachers desk to turn on and off all power to the students desks, we found the kids loved to mess with the red button too much and it allows the teacher to only allow the students to use the equipment when they switched it on Also thanks for not cutting the data cables the amount of times I had to re run them because someone wasn't thinking ahead Also my electrician recently replaced a few light fixtures for Led's similar to the ones you put up but they had the ability to click in a small emergency pod in the centre of the panel really neat little panels

As a student also, I’d agree. It’s useful to have a sub-board in the practical rooms because if the RCD trips then it’s useful to not have to call facilities management staff to come and reset it at a central location, the teacher present could just flick the switch. Also, the red mushroom buttons weren’t played to too badly where I was, although the option to lock them was there...

With cables above suspended ceilings we need to remember the 'premature collapse' reg.521.10.202 That ceiling will come down in a fire of a good size, that 'spaghetti' is going to be a deadly hazard to firefighters. I believe any retrospective work should include making safe that spaghetti, quote for it at the outset - even if your just replacing 1 light fitting.

As for those LED emergency lights, it's best to run those non-maintained. When running in maintained they would usually stay on 24/7 like the one in the background at 17:11. When the LEDs are running 24/7 they will soon reach their rated lifetime which is usually around 30,000 hours. I'd say LED emergency lights are acceptable for using in non-maintained mode but for maintained, I'd still use the fluorescent ones because they of course have replaceable tubes. When the LED ones reach the end of their life the whole fitting will have to be replaced rather than a simple change of tube.

We have those LED panels in our office at work. Been there about 5 years now without any issues. Some of my collegues have had issues with glare from the light directly above them, and we've found the connector between the panel and the driver is really handy as it means you can independently disable individual panels without affecting the rest of the grid.

Nice job that, we do lots of schools, your EM Stop button will need to have a key lock off so the teacher can leave the room locked off when they leave. We usually pull a new sub main to the kitchen and have a local db in the kitchen. Going off track we tend to put T&E in dado trunking as some of the kids like to pull lid off and cut singles with scissors 😑

Quick comment on cable selection: if allowed by local code some kind of multicore wire (e.g. Oelflex 12g0.75mm², higher count if you need returns for "on" indication) might be making sense for the contactor switches (shared supply) and also the emergency switch (dedicated pair). If you are concerned about the insulation put into a flex tube. Saves time and space. Makes everythin very neat because you run one cable from the control box to your contactor box.

And Rehau is a rexel brand might be worth a quick call to see if they can source you an end cap

Looked like a 72KVA intake ,a lot of primary schools have that size but not with a home ecomonics room, if its a secondary school seems pretty tight inatke size Use 32a Radials 4.0mm in LFS twin & earth forget rings, have done loads in the london schools, with diversity its down to experience, throw away that on site guide table, extremely unlikey that all hobs / ovens would be on , ventilation never a problem, all the best Tom Also i would consider a seperate board in the intake with i1 main contactor to bring on the board or 2no: 63A 4 pole contactor set up ( subject to design ) and a single stop/start by teachers desk, very rare for independant switches to control each circuit, bit of a waste and overkill in my opinion 4k -5 K value, All the best tom

I recently installed some very similar 2'x4' LED fixtures in an elementary school here in the US. Interesting to see that y'all aren't required to safety wire the fixtures to the ceiling with steel wire, and can just lay them in the grid. In my state it's required that each fixture have a minimum of two safety wires to hold the fixtures in case the ceiling grid collapses. I think it's kind of silly with the light weight LED fixtures, but it makes plenty of sense for the older florescence fixtures. Those things are heavy!

You could run a 3 phase supply up to the room and install a little Control panel housing all the contactors, RCBOs, emergency switches etc.A little more design and MCP cost but wiring would be a doddle. I would do Radials to each appliance and a ring for the sockets as normal. It would be easy to get a cost for a little panel purpose built for the job.

Hi Tom, I would put a seperate Distribution Board in a corner in the kitchen which would feed the entire kitchen, including sockets etc.. Every hob would be on their own circuit and the contactors with the emergency push button on theirs. Price wise it could be around £4k. Looking forward to see the end result. They are removing the sockets to prevent kids from charging their phones/devices. Cheers.

No need to use maintenance free connectors before the driver. Connect the flex from the klik box straight into the driver . Much quicker and means 1 less joint plusxsaves on materials. Been doing it for last year or so. As long as the flex is no thicker than 0.75mm which pre made kliks are....then you're sorted mate.

00:00 ooh somebody's been watchin Edgar Wright movies for editing tips 🙂🙂 For the cables I think I would have left them over the grid. The ceiling should be fire rated? plus there's the metal grid to prevent premature collapse? And I think it would be safer. If there was a risk of premature collapse, it would look like sorting that out would be a seperate job. But I'm sitting at a keyboard and not at the job so don't have a clue.

There's another reg on not using flexible cable for fixed wiring too, but it doesn't apply to control circuits, so contactors should be ok.

How you are going to do that job you have priced for is exactly how I would had thought to do it, spot on. I estimate the job would be roughly £5,500 plus VAT. I wouldn't do it any different to how you explained. What a great job. What light panels are they I do recognise those, only thing to be careful of is how thin they are, iv known some to sag in the middle over time. Do they come pre flexed aswel? Only thing I would probably do differently is that I would had wired the flex directly from the klick into the driver. That way the only connections are at the driver and at the klick plug. These are great in commercial premises where isolating a circuit isnt possible, you can just unplug the fitting for maintenance purposes. Not alot that can be done with the cabling from the klick boxes though. Sometimes you got to be careful you dont price yourself out of the work.

I would install a DB in the room fed via a contactor installed within the incomer section fed 16mm 5 core SWA (depending on loading) abd controlled with a lockable E stop at the teachers desk. This should prevent having all 8 circuits being fed through the same contactor enclosure preventing the danger when working on 1 contactor. Id put a 2A MCB on the auxiliary circuit to protect it. Like someone mentioned before id go for a 4mm T+E LSF radial to each station and keep 1 row on the same phase to prevent 400V between the 2 work stations.. although this will leave 1 phase with a higher load should they have a full class. I couldnt properly see but the 250A main switch is usually a switch disconector BSEN60947-3 so the 250A rating is the maximum current it can break when switching? Unless its a BSEN60947-2 which is an MCCB so it should have a dial underneath the switch at 0.8 - 1 x? Usually the incomer fuses are at 200A for a 250A switch disconnector so will probably need to check first. Ideally probably could have done with a load test when the school is open to check what its current load demand is before installing. Hope it helps and good luck

Nice Vid Tom!! 👍🏻👍🏻 The issue with the wiring on the grid ceiling is indeed a question of how far do you go? I’d ensure my cables were supported with metal tie wraps for the time being and report back like you said that you have found cables which are not adequately supported against collapse in the event of fire which is a potential risk to firefighters who may have to enter. (Get that documented to!) At least you do have some basket and cable management up there though...better than most places! What is the KW rating of one of them hobs that the client is supplying? Ideally they need to be running on 13a plug tops otherwise above 3kw each will need its own separate dedicated circuit which will be a ball ache with wiring. If they are on plug tops I’d wire a 10a circuit in 1.5 through a lockable mushroom button onto the grid switches...then back down to contractors. For the rings I’d run 6mm singles from each 32a Mcb to the supply side of each contractor then the ring cables from the load side of each in t&e up to sockets for each set up. 👌🏻

The printing on the trunking is partially written in german. It says "Unterteil" which translates to "bottom part". I think that if you search for it at german distributors you may be able to find it. I am not at all an expert, so I can't guarantee that it is actually available there. Hope it helps, Greetings from germany

I'm thinking 5 days £5800 including the day you spent modifying the trunkings and the led lights and allowing a day for board work and testing My only thought is key switches to isolate with separate neons so you can tell when each circuit is energised

New submain into classroom new basket hung from Perlins within classroom. BAnk of contactors fed via same circuit through multiple key switches Key operated em stop button controlling feed to contactors. Drop to key switch and stop button in steel conduit with switch wires contained in multi core flex.

Pricing a commercial job as someone who isn't quite used to thinking in those terms is quite difficult, and the actual price is probably several times higher than I initially expected, but still a very fair price (just outside of what I'm used to). As my initial hunch was around 2 grand, a better price would probably be somewhere in the ₤10,000 to ₤20,000 range.

Hi mate just a heads up on the fire alarm panel for future, it’s an addressable adt panel so hard to get the sortware for laptop programming unless you know someone who works/used to work for adt. If you come across faults with devices etc you would need to get adt to programme the heads with address etc which they charge a pretty penny to do. Hope this is of help mate.

If possible could you do a how to series? I'm a bms electrical apprentice. So as you can guess I dont do anything involving lightning systems, Or fire alarm. Or perhaps explain the basics as you would if you were teaching someone. Awesome video by the way.

It’s food technology, not home economics. When was that build done originally? The school I work in was built in 1999; all the 3 compartment trunk through the entire build was all bought in cheap as it was being discontinued. The school maintenance staff didn’t find out until several years later when some of it was smashed and the spare parts left on site at the end of the build had started to run out. The particular system they used has 3 parts which clip in to cover each junction, and are now super brittle (the lid and boxes for the centre section seem to be fairly common to lots of 3 compartment trunk, but all the other parts seem completely unobtainable).

That trunking is made by same company that makes double glazing units , perhaps that sort of firm would stock it ?

LED's do generate alot of heat. Hence why they have a Aluminium backplate. Personally i would try to keep the transformer block away from the rear of each panel. Given they will reach 60-70c.

Hi Tom, like the idea of remote switching for safety, how do you get involved with quoting for this type of work, do you need to be on an approved list with the council?

Great Video. Release the dimensions for the track and perhaps a viewer with fire rated filament can 3D print one for you.

Dunno about in Euro, but here in the states. Each light is supposed to have 2 points of support. (we use ceiling wire, labeled separately for the electricians) And we support the wires off that, as we arnt allowed to use other trades support. If you wanted you should have charged them to do that. Cause right now that craps not gonna fly, Literally. :p

Here in the US when I'm pulling network cable I've only seen metal flex tubes going to each light, those klik connectors seem like overkill in that application to me
