Extremely clear explanation if you ask me ! Not only that but i searched the whole internet and found no usefull explantion of the distribution board . Youre the winner!! ;)Greetings Belgium
Thank you kind Sir for your perfect explanation ...as a 73 year old/young beginner to basic electricals ...you've explained all I need to know so that I can complete the wiring for my workshop ....you efficiently delivered the required information without wasting a word ! Very impressive 👏😊
Brilliantly compiled and presented. Finally a wiring diagram that makes sense. The way you present it showing the actual kit is so much more understandable/relatable than the competition that use animated graphics. My thanks for making this clear to me.
Couldn't find an explanation on how to use the two neutrals on an MCB but your explanation made it really clear and now my hot tub is working perfectly on a smart breaker thanks to you!
The clearest video I have watched, answered all my questions. To follow up I have today added a new breaker to a sub panel for a new outdoor socket works a treat, thanks again for your video it helped enormously.
I'm a South African and and a Power Engineering student and I would love to meet you and gain practical experience on this field from you Sir. You're the best
You have presented that so clearly in a very easy and definitive way for anybody to understand. Well done, now back to my DV board now that i know what to do. Cheers
ADD: It is common practice that all INPUT (or supply, source) electricity are to connect from the top just like this 4:17. In this video, it just so happens that the supply wires came from the top; however many installations have the wires from the bottom instead, ie pulled from the ground up, but it is connected to the tops of the CBs. 6:17 Even if this looks ugly, it is a best practice. Some CBs have special circuits on the tops. Fuse Holders for instance have the fuse connected to the bottom. If one wired the bottom as source, you wont be able to hold the fuse.
Thank you for the informative and clear explanation. I have one question: why isn't a jumper used between the neutral and earth busbars in a neutral-earth linked system?
At 1:20 author mention ferula, as fair I know it's reccomended to use them. And things which was omitted and should be mentioned at this video: Cable glands and LABELING of the switches. I will say the last one is very important from practical point of view.
Very informative. Unfortunately, I have 380v 3 phase main power. So my sub-panel is a bit more complicated. In fact, it's a bit of mess. I live in the mountains of Mongolia and it's pretty remote but we do have grid power. We mainly use 240v appliances except a heating boiler which uses 380v. It's not so easy to use bus bars because I distribute power from different phases. I use jumpers from the main switch to each circuit breaker instead. Well, at least the electrician who set it up. If you would do a 3 phase supplied video, that would be awesome. But maybe it's not that interesting to people.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the 63A is an isolator switch, it is not a circuit breaker. The 63A rating means it can handle current up to 63A, beyond that the switch can get damaged, melted or burnt.
@@Antharishk Yep i did not watch the whole video that's why I missed that part 2:47 where he talked about differences. In the UK usually it is rare to see a double pole MCB inside a DB board. Only single pole MCBs, double pole RCDs and an isolator switch. You may also see RCBOs and an SPD. And of course there is another isolator switch after the meter and a fuse before the distribution board.
Europe use slightly different color scheme now, just have to remember colors should be blue=N=neutral instead black and brown=L=live instead red. Grounding is same in both systems (yellow green or green).
Thanks for a very informative video. I am not an electrician, but knowledge is power. I have a question: I have 3ph supply. My main MCB in primary DB is rated at 50A/415V. While the main breaker in each of the 2 sub db's is 63A/400V. The main DB also contains MCB's for each of the 2 sub DB's. These are rated at 63A/415V. Why is the Main MCB of Primary DB rated at 50A while the Sub DB's are rated at 63A? Also i'm wanting to swop out the Sub DB MCBs located within the Primary DB with smart breakers to monitor energy consumption in preparation for near future Solar installation. However, the smart MCB's available is only rated at 63A/380V. Will it be advisable/acceptable to do such a swop out? many thanks. Ian
Nice. But still some issues to be resolved. For flexible cable special cable lugs to be used. Direct connection not allowed. Dynamometric screwdriver to be used to be sure, that connections are pressed correctly. Labeling circuit breakers not enough. Cables to be labeled by wire identification rings. So this quality maybe Ok for your home, but not enough for commercial product.
Such a great teacher… I m not an electrician but understand your presentation 👏👏👏👏👌

Not one word irrelevant or redundant, the knowledge is transferred efficiently, sufficiently and beautifully to people who need it. Thank you sir.
I am a self taught electrician, such videos are beautiful, keep up keeping up❤️❤️

Brilliant tutorial with excellent visuals. Anyone regardless of skill level can understand.
All I needed, I searched for "simple DIN rail wiring board " and your video is the only one that made sense. Thank you so much.
One word, you are a brilliant teacher!
I'm a South African and and a Power Engineering student and I would love to meet you and gain practical experience on this field from you Sir. You're the best
I don't usually comment on TH-cam but I have to compliment you on such a clear and fantastic video. Thank you
You have presented that so clearly in a very easy and definitive way for anybody to understand. Well done, now back to my DV board now that i know what to do. Cheers
Baie dankie, goeie onderwyser vir 'n totale leek wat krag betref. Ek gaan dit nou doen!
I never thought I would ever understand the arrangements in this board.thank you..
Finally a decent video clearly explained without the B.S, being an electrical novice it helps heaps cheers, 👍 from Australia.
well worth watching, thank you from a non electrician.
I didn't know about this but now I know all thanks to you easily explained 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Very well explained. I just stumbled across this channel and I wasn't even looking for this info but I needed it.

Best lecturer ever👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
Got it at last.Excellent tutor you are.Thanx.
Thank you for the informative and clear explanation. I have one question: why isn't a jumper used between the neutral and earth busbars in a neutral-earth linked system?
Wow. Well explained. Kept it similar and in layman’s terms. Now I understand my pool db.
Lovely, very well explained, now I understand
I for one liked this tutorial demo, welldone

Good Installation and presentation. I learned a lot. Thanks
Absolutely excellent explanation! The best one on the net. This video will cause electricians around the world to be jobless, do you realise that?
thank you
Amazing demonstration, but if you ever decide to do a follow-up video try adding the correct way to extend a wire that might've been too short
Anyone regardless of skill level can understand, well explained
Thanks sir ,you really explain very good .I'm wish to this job
You are amazing thanks for this educative information
Absolutely love your work.
Fantastic video!!! Even this accountant understands it.
Thanks a lot. This video explained everything i needed

U can get both isolator plus MCB in 9ne switch.

This is very clear thanks for the video
Simple and straightforward
Wow simplistic and very clear.
Best teacher👌🏾
Thanks love it very well explained ❤
Good teacher ever
This was so helpful, thank you.
I love this and you are the best❤❤❤
Side note for North-Americans: This videos applies to single-phase European systems, while the US applies the split-phase system.
Europe use slightly different color scheme now, just have to remember colors should be blue=N=neutral instead black and brown=L=live instead red. Grounding is same in both systems (yellow green or green).
Wow that's awesome🎉 keep up the good work 🌱@#seeds hands 🌱 is loving you
Great presentation precise and clear
This is good quality instruction.
Simply amazing! Keep up the great work brother
Amazing video! Thank you so much.
This is very helpful for me , thanks U sir 😊
Hi I want to fit a 2.5 cable to my board what size circuit breaker should I use
Love the video very easy to follow
Great clip to watch. Do you have a tutorial om how to wire Solar and inverter to your existing db board?
not yet
Thank you sir, this is so detailed
Well explained, thank you
Thank You for this,I learnt alot
great video, can you make a video how to wire an inverter to your main DB
Thanks for your help it clear🙏💞🌹
Very good DB cinnection and well explained
Excellent. Any video on 2 way switching...
