Can you do a video on how to do install a socket outside may be in garden or just outside at the front door etc.

A basic subject that is often taught just as a procedure or drill without the student really understanding the reasoning behind the procedures. This explains all and better just with diagrams ! 👏

Great video Dave, one question that has always remained a mystery, is why isn’t disconnecting live and neutral, and making the ends safe inside the consumer unit, considered an approved method of isolation? Surely a physically disconnected circuit is safer than a locked off one? 🤷‍♂️

You are totally right. The IET approved method though is to leave the wires in situ. Personally, I always took the phase out of the MCB and neutral out of the neutral bar. That way, whatever happened at the MCB would not affect me. Leave the earth in the earth bar for the insulation resistance tests. Good stuff. Dave.

@learnelectrics4402
@learnelectrics4402 3 жыл бұрын
That's only an average of 2 amps per breaker. the panel must be able to take at least 42 breakers. Everything else can be bought to fit into it, but if the cabinet only takes 30 breakers, well, that's a problem. Consider a 48 way cabinet or split it into 2 x 100A 24 way boards.

At 4:38 you say for reverse polarity L-E is 0 volts. This should be 230 volts. I mean the load is live with neutral switch open. The load is live on each side with no current flowing ? Please confirm if what i say is correct. Thanks for excellent video discussing isolation. Especially the the safety when using double pole switch.

Hello Dave thanks for the video. I had a question, are there instances when we have to isolate the whole board and not just the final circuit that we are working on?
@learnelectrics4402
@learnelectrics4402 3 жыл бұрын
Yes of course there are. In fact I have sometimes isolated the whole board when the inside is "messy". Changing MCBs, carrying out an inspection and test on the premises. If you are happier isolating the whole board then do it, after all it's your hands that you are putting inside. The safer the better.

In your diagrams, you demonstrate the safe isolation of a single circuit by switching off the associated MCB. However, if the circuit neutral remains connected to the neutral bar and the neutral is then cut, would a neutral-earth fault then result, causing the RCD to trip?
@learnelectrics4402
@learnelectrics4402 2 жыл бұрын
Yes, that sometimes happens Paul. Makes me jump out f my skin. I would often remove phase and neutral when isolating, but we have to show you the way that the book shows for assessments etc. Good point and thanks for watching. Dave.

In your sequence you are not saying when you are switching off the MCBs and the main switch, you should say when that is done! Where is it? INNIT?
