Another fantastic video to watch. Love to see time and experience being invested in apprentices to show them the right way of working and also explaining why you are doing what you are doing. Great work guys. 👍

[@carlosheldrake4895]

Another great educational video! You literally have the best electrical videos out on KZbin.

Great Video , As regards the waxy stuff found . It belongs to the Lesser Spotted Southern Wax Shrew . Its occasionally found in lofts and floor voids across Southern England although it can occasionally be found in other areas of the UK . They are a small nocturnal rodent with small frog like feet and they tend to live in Electrical back boxes and naturally prefers old junction boxes and flex outlet plates especially in winter . The waxy substance gets secreted from their frog like feet and gets used as simple bedding for this furry little Rodent .

[@damionsp]

Very cool long ranged plug tester, Ive done the same thing with plugging an extension lead in the socket and bringing it to the board where im working and plugging my tester in there so that I can see that the circuit is off and not have to run back and forth!

[@alanr585]

Better than some previous videos because of less comedy and less food. Good sound quality, we can hear both of you clearly.

[@petermichaelgreen]

tip: if you want a socket and a fuse on the same faceplate, then Euro modules are an option.

[@GeoB24]

Fuck me thats a good idea 🔥thanks for the tip I’ll defo be using that

[@bellas_switch_adapted_toys]

Would look hella awful though & you'd have no switch/rocker to the socket 🤔

[@petermichaelgreen]

@@bellas_switch_adapted_toys Yeah, you'd only get one switch on there with the socket and fuse, so you'd have to choose whether the socket or the spur got switched. It would certainly look unusual, but i'm not sure why it would look anymore "awful" than other electrical accessories do.

We have a Redrow new build and have had major issues with the electricians they used. They have been back here a dozen + times and caused more problems so we got Redrow to bring in a different company. Since completion we haven't received any certs for works here apart from the original one at completion. Some works done: termination and boxing of cables left on the floor, door bell in stupid position and moved from left side of door to right with plasterboard removal to route cables, two ovens running off a single line rather than a dedicated to each resulting in power problems (the master switch for the top oven was located above the oven 7 feet up at back of cupboard, to turn it off in the event of a fire you would need to reach over the oven and reach into the back of the cupboard, this was moved to two white (of different brands, these also flicker constantly) switches instead of the heavy red switch, no plasterboard damage but there is a new switch in the consumer unit that has now maxed that unit out (this will be a major problem in the future with electric car charging etc, is it documented that there should be slots left?), moving a light switch closer to entrance of door frame as it was several arms length away..... list goes on but we have no certs for any of this stuff. Is that illegal? Major concerns over the electrics here, my phone has blown up, bare cables left on the floor at completion and ovens still not quite right with power. We have requested from Redrow an independent complete check of everything here but they claim as it's signed off by a certified company its not a problem, even though they have sent them back here dozens of times to fix problems and still have problems outstanding. NHBC are throwing the same line out, if it's been signed off by someone certified then they see no reason to do a check.

Could the green stuff be treated wood sap type mixture that's melted into it at some point?

[@tadasmac4036]

I finished college and now I want to do what you are doing here. I love the idea of installing electrical charging points and other electronics such as doorbells, sockets, and lighting it seems fun but I can't find any similar work-related jobs as I have no experience and do not own a car or driving license I have a CSCS card and am revising for my ECS card. Also, I live in London. Do you have any advice on how to find work?. I don't really want to be working on LARGE construction sites but if I must I will.

[@carlstanton2550]

Find a decent company,those that work on big sites will generally train you pretty well,provided you show you're keen and interested. If you haven't already managed,get yourself an apprenticeship.

[@ForTheBirbs]

Pure gold again. I was going to say the dynamic duo is back, but that's been claimed by Bundy 10.... Is Reuben joining Artisan full time? Hopefully so. That cheeky grin at 3:05 says it all. Rueben was in the right place to make a mess in his pants. Lol

[@aaronnewick3400]

Got told last week to not count switches on for number of points but I always have and I argued about it.

[@Ted_E_Bear]

Another awesome video.

[@LeighWinspear]

Another great video. If an EICR fails on say an FI and a c2, what is your remedial procedure and does another satisfactory, complete certificate need to be sent?

[@electricalstuff259]

There is no remedial procedure unless the client agrees to pay you to investigate or fix. You can only give a quote but the EICR isn't inclusive of fixing C2's.

[@tapiwa8151]

Which function on the metrel , do you use to do Ze test . can you please illustrate . Thanks in advance

[@shawnshawn911]

What Multifunctional Tester is this? Can you share a link for it?

[@waynenrich]

Ruben always read the small print 🤣

[@Cablesmith]

When you were counting points and counted the switches, I was always taught a switch isn’t a point, only load drawing accessories were a point so switch not being included 🤔 Happy to be told the correct answer here if I’m wrong tho.

[@jamesclark3090]

Same

[@peanutpotion]

I was also taught this

[@paulg9815]

I include switches and fan isolators as points as I just feel that it’s still a point with serviceable connections. Not sure which way is correct either really.

[@Cablesmith]

@@paulg9815 don’t get me wrong I’m not against either way, I also agree a point is anywhere to test from so switches etc included. now I’m just not sure which if any are correct. Think it should have a definite answer somewhere

[@JayTheSparky]

I’m the same, I was always taught that a point is a “Load drawing item” as in Spot light or a wall light, shaver, fan, socket etc. A switch isn’t, so I don’t count them as such, asked the NICEIC about it and the assessor we have said he agreed, although he wouldn’t take offence to counting switches but said he doesn’t think you have to.

[@thebear1994]

a note on the bad eighties work all the ones that have had problems have already had them and gotten fixed in some ways so it could be an effect of the bathtub curve meaning that installations with poor workmanship have failed and gotten reworked

[@RichardArblaster]

[@DannyT1503]

Great videos with great information but I’d definitely recommend to your apprentice when live testing would be to connect the live last and remove it first. If he connects it last and the other Probe creates a short he might shit his pants 😂

[@Chris_In_Texas]

Strange that you have switches for all the appliances. Here in the USA, for example, the oven / cooker as hard wired behind the unit directly to the breaker in the panel only. No way to turn off other than turn off the breaker.

[@the_real_hislordship]

In South Africa we are required to have an isolator within a meter of the oven/stove (that's what we call them), electric gate motors and also for hot water cylinders (we call them geysers). Damn isolators burn out quite often on the 4kW 200 litre units. Washing machine, drier and dishwasher are usually on a switched socket, but if hard wired they would need an isolator too (not common).

[@therealjordy6948]

what software you using on the ipad for your eicr?

[@maciejzaremba6842]

How you count points, one pendant and switched from two locations is one point or two?

[@sam04019491]

I would count this as 3. One for the pendant and one for each switch.

[@ImaScotsman]

Why would you be counting light switches as a point on the circuit? The points are the current using points, fans, cooker outlets, cooker control switches (with sockets built in), sockets, showers, lights? Or am I just doing it wrong.

[@artisanelectrics]

I do it that way too! Funny I’ve seen other sparks who do it like Cory but for me it’s always been “points of utilisation” which means anything that uses power so not switches etc.

[@dannyboisparky]

Number of points is really a pointless excerise. I’ve never seen switches get counted on lighting circuits though. Points of utilisation makes sense but then I’ve seen difference of opinion e.g twin socket as two, cooker control with inbuilt socket. I personally go with counting anything that serves a neutral to switchgear/equipment, something I got told by NIC years ago

[@rayc1503]

@@dannyboisparky Makes sense, I do it this way as well. This is the my mentor taught me years ago.

[@dutchschaefer5787]

Does every house in England have a alarm system?

[@AndyK.1]

No

[@JamesScholesUK]

Alarms used to be installed as a value add in a lot of new builds. Takes hardly any extra time during construction, lets you add a few grand to the asking price. My house was built in 2005 and has a load of 6 core data cable runs back to the loft for a potential alarm system, but it was never actually installed. They were handy for pulling in network cables to various points around the house 😁
