APPARENTLY IT'S EASY, CONSUMER UNIT INSTALL. ELECTRICIAN UK

Those RCBOs look old. Even two years ago. Not only not low profile, but an earth fly lead? Really? These old stock or something, or are Schneider not keeping up?

Could you put the 25mm earth incommer,the other end of the earth strip (far left side) so you have more clearance?

This is labouring. Dressed up as skilled work. Electricianing is semi skilled at best.

what is the yellow line

I am subscriber from pakistan one details video for me one room connection installation from db box in details video love from pakistan ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Very good

Only easy if you know how. Simple things like not knowing how to torque is going to get you a fire going. The armoured cable takes practice to earth right. On and on. What mcb to use on what circuit or another fire. These boys live and breathe this make it look easy - but it is not easy.

Electricity grid in USA and England corresponds to the state of the Middle Ages

That incoming cable is huge. Here in Poland it’s usually 4-6mm2 sometimes 3 phase.

I am a interested

Great stuff brob good work plus I'm r davis 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤

Sorry but a lot of what you are showing you cannot see as when you’re doing some of the consumer work you’re hands are the way

Few late questions. Why fold the copper? It just gives a worse connection. You risk spreading the copper to the sides instead of properly under the screw. What is the manufacturers saying? And also, it's a new build, why not make it a recessed installation? Otherwise cracking job.

Comes from back in the day, wiring looms and harnesses electronics old school.

It’s a shame you ruined the install by mounting the board with plasterboard fixings. This is a big no no. Should have mounted a wooden board behind the plasterboard.

Pro Electrician who doesn't know how the grips works. 99% of all professionals in uk are the same.

I know its not much weight, but they have to be the crappiest plaster board fixings known to man.

I hope you remembered to earth the SWA cable armoured shield.

really nice work. do you leave the busbar like that, or trim it down?

He!You forgot to isolate the pins that are not in use!!!!!!!

It's the wrong rcbos 10 KA not 6 KA they are for the big 3phase boards where you need the length of the cables your dist board is very neat

Tidy!!

Good job

Wow, european electric panels seem way over complicated compared to american ones. I do see why canadians mount their panels sideways now. That makes then look more like yours. American panel boxes are designed to fit between standard 16" stud spacing (14.5"). I guess thats why ours are oriented vertically instead of horizontal.

Love the Schneider boards, but find the RCBOs don’t leave much space at the top. Would love if Schneider will bring out some compact ones! Neat job guys 😊

Its a bit more complicated then it used to be.

A thought you were not allowed to fit consumer units under stairs anymore

Hey man, you said you aren't a fan of cable ties in consumer units and I'm just curious why? Great video though

Hello mate. Just came across your channel. Instant subscriber. Really enjoyed watching the video and learning. Currently working my way through the NVQ and planning on getting qualified in 2024. How do you like the Knipex crimping tool? Is it really worth the premium price? Thanks

How do you keep your consumer units so neat!🤩

Just wondering about the height off the ground seems a bit low , PS I'm not a sparks 👍🇮🇪☘️👋

Or just use smaller rcbos 😂😂😂

And hasn’t been dressed properly, it is ok but not 100% , you still need a little bit of more training to do.😂😂😂😂😂

Made making that armoured look hard

That staircase looks a bit of a bodge

HI bro I m qualified electrician l need Job. Thank you

Hi mate. Nice one. Just starting a side hustle doing minor works. What make is your crimping tool. Looking for one that will last and do up to 16mm for when I get more qualified and fit the big stuff =) cheers.

Looking for some advice, I have 3 appliances each allegedly consuming 3050 at maximum capacity, but the wires and my main feed to the consumer unit is getting so hot. I deliberately upgraded my consumer unit so it could handle these appliances. I installed the outlet (Specifically for these appliances) using Prysmian 10mm2 twin and earth, wired to a 50-amp breaker, then installed ANOTHER Prysmian 10mm2 twin and earth, wired to a another 50-amp breaker so there are now 2, one for two lower end of the consumer unit and the other for the higher end. Furthermore, I also have two BG 80A 30mA 2 Residual current device (RCD) installed on the consumer unit and the main feed that powers the consumer unit has a fuse of 100amps.
These appliances are in a container where I linked each outlet to one another so they can draw power from the first one (again, each has its own 50-amp breaker at the opposing side of the consumer unit, one for the upper side and one for the lower side), not sure if that is causing resistance as I even have the powercables with 13amp fuses to power those appliances, but since there is a 50amp breaker for each outlet, I’m still confused.

personally would have used toggle fixings instead of plasterboard fixings, need to get myself a ferrule crimper. good job

I'm from UK and a certified electrician. Also many other skills. But I have to let this lose my friend those self drilling plugs you are useing are best of drilled straight into dry wall ( plaster board ) you don't need a pilot holl they more stronger if you use a pz2 and drill them straight into the wall. Ps the plastic ones are shite lol go for the metal ones they also have a better head and thread 😉

Cracking job you've made of that board,one of the neatest I've seen,it certainly makes a difference cutting down those neutrals as it's less cluttered at the back,great content

HI I seriously need some advice. I am aware that you can connect internet through mains cabling. I believe this has been done in my home without my knowledge. It was done by a paedophile ring locally. The camera was in my shower. They got to the camera ( I live in local authority housing so I have to let them in) before I could remove it myself. However I believe that there are remnants of the system within the wiring of the house. is there anything obvious I should look for either in the consumer unit or elsewhere? I have some basic electrical knowledge but do not want to go poking around in the house circuit as I have no experience of that. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. My wife and I are very concerned by all this. It all stems back to a guy I knew years ago who was a plumber. He was jailed for some horrific things but part of his case was hidden cameras. he connects to the local authority and has been out of jail for a decade. We believe they also did this before in our previous (housing association) home. This is causing us a huge amount of stress but we have no proof so nobody will listen to us. What should I be looking for. This quite urgent as the council are demanding they are given access to the electrical system. It is strange as there was a full rewire not so long ago.

Main earth is rubbish. No serrated washer so you should be fitting a flying lead off the frying pan washer. RAF

Why do you have to put the dB so low 😢😢😢😢

Enjoyed the video as im still learning. Just a question....Did you cut down the excess on the busbar afterwards?

Thought that was a band😅

your videos very important for my future because I am going to sturdy something about wiring works. God bless you dude..!!

Hi, nice work there, wanted to know, what gasket did you use on the cable inlet on the back of the CU?
