Ring Final Circuit Testing Revision Video

[@gapster77]

Listen up Sparks! This is the best explanation about this non-exciting, yet need to know test procedure that I’ve seen. This Gent explains it concisely and without waffling on, telling you how to do the test and what patterns in the results you should expect to see, and further more why this is the case. You are not going to get it explained to you any better than this ...good work fella! Wagos are the future, and a very handy addition to your test kit, don’t know why people use the old choc-blocks anymore? Little tip, the newer clear sort with the Brite Orange flat tabs are almost half the size, and unlike the ones used in this vid they can take both a solid and a stranded 4mm.

[@jayAsparks]

Why can't all teachers be like this. Easy to understand and great at explaining the purpose of what he is testing. Great work, hopefully you do more videos on testing.

[@neilcowie8446]

I've watched all the Ring Final Test videos from all the different KZbin channels. This is by far the most understandable one. Sitting FICA exam next week

[@markandrews8437]

Excellent vid, you sir should make more, your explanation was very clear and understandable well done and thank-you

[@ferventheat]

great vid, follows it all step by step and good to see it on and actual circuit, rather than it being explained on text book or training.

[@Kitchentotaste]

Trade skills are best. Thank you guys for best time a have spend at your training centre when I did my level 2,3 . Best training in UK

[@jimgeelan5949]

Thanks for this vid, it's been one of the most straight forward and clearly explained videos I've seen 👍

[@coolskool1.061]

Brilliant, excellently delivered lesson, thanks for making it so clear!

[@neilwilliams2409]

Very good job spot on . Easy to follow step by step guide.

[@Rosscoff2000]

That was a useful summary and very clear, but you didn't look at all at the really interesting entry key case of a cross connection on the ring which you showed on the first diagram. I can see that a cross connection could give some puzzling results during testing and make it impossible to reduce the normal numbers, but I've always struggled to see why it might be any kind of safety problem in normal use of the circuit, in fact it seems to me it should improve the performance of a ring.

[@stephenhamilton3472]

Thanks for sharing this video it was one of the best explanations of this topic I've seen

[@train4905]

Dear sir a most brilliant video.superbly explained.very clear and concise.thankyou most kindly.has helped me out loads keep up the great work abs videos.

[@yavare22]

Best educational video about testing that I ever seen .BIG LIKE Hence and many thanks

I finally understand it after watching this video. Thanks

[@bernardcharlesworth9860]

Lovely quick video for 3291

[@shaunbeard593]

Hi Andy a great video. I'm about to embark on an electricians course, all be it rather late in life. I am wondering which way the leads are connected in back of you test machine thanx

[@andrewbowes5727]

Very clear and easy to follow. thanks

[@train4905]

Superb sir an excellent video. Very clear sir.

[@pyotrleflegin7255]

p.s. The WAGO blocks are a great idea!

[@steve42681]

TOP VIDEO. TOP INSTRUCTOR. THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING

[@misterbaleize]

Excellent instruction; thank you.

[@BillsAllotmentDiary]

Not a spark but great clear and informative video even if your bad at maths this breaks it down so the reasoning for readings is clear even for inumerate types. have saved this to my watch latter folder.

[@jimbo2629]

I am not an electrician, but I would have expected wires to be be correctly connected and checked physically and visually. With good workmanship all this fancy testing should just be an extra. I suppose there are plenty of cowboys about. If there is wrong polarity in a ring I would have thought it would trip or fuse or worse, so you would already know there was a major problem. I still refer to wires as live or positive, negative or neutral.and earth or ground. I like to understand what’s going on when I engage a tradesman, so for me it’s an excellent video.

[@johnxenofontos628]

Thanks for the video well demonstrated and explained.

[@stevethomas5849]

Simply, very well explained. Thanks

[@Mark-ij2nh]

Ha I got 0.02 on all my ring main circuits plus this is the easiest test end to end in college you have to do the more complicated figure of eight test to pass which is what the connector blocks are used for live and neutral and live and cpc

[@paulcronin8080]

[@chestermartin2356]

what?

[@geoffdaniel1534]

Brilliant video can I put a water proof consumer unit in a outside shed with armeded cable from back of a socket from conservatory thanks

[@johnkk7863]

I really like this Kewtech testing equipment, must get a one

[@train4905]

Superb sir.spot on thankyou.very helpful.

[@catherineweitbrecht4107]

thank you .. I figured out that my emmersion heater was causing the problem with the ACE THANKS

[@adrianJUPANU]

One of the best videos Ive ever seen !

[@pavel29jenny]

Hello! Tell me please; is that type of a circuit, so called "socket ring circuit" you have in each house in U. K. ?? Very interesting (?) what is the reason for that type of wiring the socket’s in the ring?? Can you tell me please (?) why you do that for?????? What is that ring good for??? How it is working??? Can you please answer in the video (?) so I can get to the point of it, please???!!!!

[@tonypalmer4039]

Very good indeed. Couldn't be clearer.

[@ianmcklatchie4390]

Does it necessarily follow that, after the installation of a new Consumer Unit, there must follow a whole-house electrical safety check that is similar in extent and scope of any ordinarily ordered domestic electrical safety check? I really don't know this subject and I'm asking it from an angle of don't-know-anything about the Trade, at all, so be gentle with me, if you would.

[@zahidkamaly9682]

Thank you, very easy to understand. helps alot

[@philrichmond7567]

Brilliant video. Thanks uploader

[@1987kahil]

Very detailed. Thank you

[@Oldhogleg]

Wow! I'm a licensed electrical contractor here in the U.S., and running a "ring" circuit is not only illegal here, but also makes no economical rational sense because you're unnecessarily consuming extra cable by having two home runs instead of one for the same circuit. It's also illegal to have more than one conductor in each terminal here in the U.S. The other thing that's different, it's illegal here in the U.S. to use the use devices such as receptacles as spicing devices, we have to use pigtails as circuit taps for all devices so the circuit is never interrupted (especially ground) by a defective device, or by the removal of the device. Seems like there's no benefit in doing the extra expense of a second home run, especially since it makes trouble shooting much more complicated by creating two power sources in the same circuit? Your load center designs are very different from ours here in the U.S. , we have much more room to organize our wiring within the panel, and our bus bars are in the middle of the panel with circuit breakers snapping on both sides.

[@flasher395]

Can you explain why you expect the grounding wires to have a higher resistance than the line and neutral wire? I would have expected them to have an even lower resistance than the others.

[@lifeis2shortuk]

Why for r1 and r2 you test all ring and radial together ?

[@anelectrician]

A very good upload well done.

[@adammc2339]

Very helpful. Finally!

[@MaxEpsom]

In my house I'm getting a reading between r1&rn and getting reading between conductors but getting 0.00 in r1 and r2 what could it be

[@russellwallman13]

are we going to get more frequent videos?, this was very helpful .

[@arsenalpro1142]

yes it is Good

[@keinnaciri5452]

سلام خیلی ممنون از زحمات شما

[@mgabrielle2343]

Do you not have to test the insulation breakdown chjeck using a high voltage source (meggar)

[@Alf-Garnish]

At exactly 5.12 sec you say on 2.5mm / 1.5mm T& E the reading should be 1.67 times higher due to the smaller cpc cable. However, On my house the reading is only 0.2 higher. IE. L1-L2 is 0.22 N1 - N2 is 0.22 E1 -E2 is 0.24 My Question is what does this small cpc reading show? The circuit operates ok. But id like to know what it tells us? Also on the cross connection test (L1-N2 & L2 - N1) the reading should be HALF the L1 L2 reading but on mine its the same 0.22. what does this mean.?

[@pyotrleflegin7255]

A very informative video -- thank you.

[@shoaibahmad4301]

Hello tell me please I replaced my home main breaker 63 amp with 40 amp earth leakage before that mcb it can be trip by the joining the Neutral & phase room breaker now it cannot trip other then it can be trip when phase touch in water or iron.

[@zaks8285]

HAHAHAHAHA

[@chestermartin2356]

I don't get what the 4 resistances are? 4 sockets?

[@001Neal100]

Very well explained

[@barnabamatiku6808]

Thanks my Broo... God Bles u.

sir can I electrical work without education certificate

[@sheriffagboola2710]

this was great we need yo to load for cooker

[@vijaymani6476]

sir maximum how many ohm in ckt loop...tell to ohms range in loop

[@videos40058]

Sir Bless you!

[@alunroberts1439]

I don't see why it will go up if the socket is reversed

[@thomashewittknewit5510]

Yes it was

[@omaryabdul2256]

thanks

[@UDASAN1]

Well explained

[@Jamal_Tyrone]

I was told to call it a socket adaptor rather than a socket tester, that's sparky terminology for you though - it's not a bulb, it's a lamp! :-P

[@TerminaterJB]

great! now i've got a damn headache

[@MrSailbadthesinner]

Who noticed that the L-N connections had magically changed just before Step three!

[@kkpropertysolutions3785]

Bit confusing about the regs .where it’s the safety no fuse on the spur ,two wires from the consumer unit one on the spur same csa🤔🤔🤔can anyone explain???

[@JG-wx2xs]

That wiring on the test board is rough

[@johnnevin5706]

big like cheers

[@sheriffagboola2710]

sorry also need for cooker and installation resistance test

[@ALKUKES]

To much paperwork

[@bitTorrenter]

Not much you can do about that. It's part of the regulations.

[@MrDasmaster]

rings are a disgrace and should be banded
