Hope you enjoy!!

Even after years as a spark, fault finding occasionally gets me nervous.
I know the feeling!!
When I install those BG Boards I always double-check that the breakers are fully open and that the bus bar goes in properly, I've seen it so many times where the busbar goes behind the terminal on the MCB and it does get terminated properly causing it to arc.
I’m with you on this one 👍
any fault finding video is always worth a look thx keep it up
Will do!! Thank you!! 👍👍
As I said before A COOL HEAD SOLVES PROBLEMS!😊😊😊

epic video mate, wish it was longer though ! keep it up buddy
Thank you mate!!
Another good video. Keep it up 👍
Thank you 👍👍
Great job
Thank you 👍👍
An interesting video Adam. What causes a screw holding in a breaker to become loose over time?
Hi Bob!! It probably wasn’t done up super tight in the first place, but it’s the vibrations that loosen it off
I would say it’s always been loose and was never torqued properly …..
@@golf-electrics maybe so,
@@golf-electrics there was no signs of arching or anything though luckily
That was lucky….lose connection on a ring main breaker you would expect more arc damage.some dis boards have design faults where you can mis align a circuit breaker on the bus bar and tighten it up with the impression of a good connection but in reality it is only touching the bus bar. Dentist mirror is a handy device to have to check this when installing. Always do a wiggle test😂
You could see an arc flash in the consumer unit @ 1:06 which would have been the loose connection. The mcb and busbar will almost certainly be scorched and will require replacement.
I did take out the MCB and check the bus bar and they were fine luckily
Linda would need to declutter
Personally i would have checked all the connections on the buzz with a mirror just to see that the buzzbar was actually within the mg gate. If the installer could not be bothered to tighten the mcb screw what else could he not be bothered doing.
I did check that also just didn’t show it in the video buddy
@@sotaelectrical I thought you would have done but I thought it was worth mentioning especially as a lot of young apprentices watch these post to pick up tips and that's a good tip to know.
Quite right, some of us get lots of education by reading the comments.@@chrisardern4594
@@chrisardern4594 absolutely this was such an off the cuff video but il make sure to include it next time. Thanks for watching 👍👍👍
Easy fault finding man
Yeah lovely for a change
Please don't start the Artisan Electrics thing. .back and forwards camera movement, for the sake of it....adds nothing to any video ..
I’m not really sure what your on about to be honest, I’m nothing like Artisan and don’t want to be either,
