Thanks for video. I am second year apprentice, i did my first SB couple weeks ago, i was very proud. Would you be able to make a video on how to wire emergency exit light. Thankyou.

[@_nztradie]

@JasbirMaan-yl8bd that's a prefect idea I'll work on that as a next up and coming video 👀

[@JasbirMaan-yl8bd]

Hello from Ireland, very similar way we do things here, with some interesting differences aswell, for instance, we don’t put links between the earth and Neutral bar, it’s done by the network operator in the meter cabinet! Also those slimeline mcbs are class, we have Notting like that! Cool seen how things are done in NZ!

[@_nztradie]

@leekavanagh6898 awesome, yea the slimline mcbs come in soo handy we do order them in especially for ourselves

Best switch board video ever. Where does it say in rules that a wire in switchboard is rated 5 times its current. I would like to know. Thanks very much.

[@__Lachie]

It’s not exactly 5 times. Check as/nzs 3008 table 7, spaced for current carrying capacity in switchboards.

[@_nztradie]

​@__Lachie thats the one sorry I guess I rounded that 😅

Who do you order the slimline breakers from?

[@_nztradie]

@@liammcfadyen7227 A place called powersafe online, so handy you definitely should get some to carry on hand

What's the practical way to tighten screws to a particular torque (2.5Nm / 3.0Nm / 3.5Nm) ? Do sparkies all actually carry / use a torque screwdriver?

[@_nztradie]

@peterb2339 well we all do but I can't speak for others, you would need one to be able to get to the right torque
