Little tip I got from the Artisan boys, might be worth investing in to save you running leads out to keep the customers WiFi going, its the Jackery portable power station just plug their WiFi and its will keep the WiFi going until you finish the board change. Loving your work as always.
thanks so much for the videos Delroy! i'm thinking about switching trades to be a sparky, it's super helpful and interesting to see what days in the life look like.
personally dealing with a lot of old bodge jobs it is better just to replace the crap and make it comply with current safety regs because if you leave as is you might be liable for an electrical fire as you will likely be the last sparky to work on the system
Should the bus bar have a sleeve or shortened if not ?good work enjoying your videos the fuses can be the same and be different types altering failure times
CANT believe you removed the met when other circuits where still energised 😬 never ever ever remove if you can’t turn the whole installation off Just take a reading with parallel paths and put limitation note on the records
No look again yes he isolated the consumer unit he was working on but and this is the big one. THE OTHER TWO FLATS WHERE STILL ENERGISED WHEN HE REMOVED THE MET If a fault occurred while he was conducting the test and someone was to touch said fault the protective device would not operate in the specified time as that person is now the least path of least resistance, the high current that would have gone down the met is what causes the mcb or rcd or rcbo to operate and that’s why you do the Ze to ensure it can handle the current and that is why you have max Ze to ensure the system is safe for use.
Why are the different circuits connected on the the top of the circuit breaker? In switzerland they do it this way too but in most countries the input is always on the top and output always on the bottom, just like an electrical schematic.
Has to do with ring and radial circuit design. England decided that ring circuits were the thing to do after ww2. As such you have only a few breakers for all the sockets in the house. Where as in most of Europe and USA they use radial design where commonly rooms are protected by single breakers.

Love Delroy the spark always look forward to another installment.
Nice video. Personally I’d like to see more of the dressing the cables into the consumer unit and connecting in the RCBO’s.
Good work Delroy, another nightmare in London
Great, he finally pealed off the plastic from the Megger display! :D
Nice to see ya uploading again del, I was getting worried about ya mate haha
Great stuff delroy

Hello Delroy ,that Funny-Head-Screw is called 8 Star or simply Torx ! Keep it up Del ! 👍
Nice work delroy, much appreciated.
Love it Del - keep em coming. Very interesting mate.
neat work delroy
Should be different fuse types the service side fuse is generally a HRC type. Good video man
Some twin sockets you get now are such poor quality that one side not working is common. I’ve taken to testing both sides as a matter of corse.
welcome back delroy

Delroy The Spark we don't use fuses in-home wiring in the USA we use breakers

😬😬😬😬
@Exploring With Dark Dreamz when ya know what your talking about mate... look again
Meter is on met removed
Other parts of the installation still on

@@gavinhoulston7910 was looking for this comment. Thank fuck someone noticed it.
Great video Delroy! Do London guys not fit surge devices?
Delroy, have you spotted that twin and earth cable that is folded over at the back of where those cable come out of the wall..?
Didn’t go for an SPD board?

How come the din rail only has a top rail and not a bottom for the transformer to fully click in to?
I didn't see any fire sealant to prevent fire spreading from the box in to the walls. Is that not required?
We call it distribution board
Same as the CPN brand boards
Where have you been🤔
Hi long time no see my friend
I've seen Harok consumer units on Ebay, they are pretty cheap and nasty.
16 mil bonding to the pipes, I think it should be 10
@@Woodkin007 thanks for your feedback
Not turn off the supplies to the other properties when you disconnected the main earth for all the building. Canny dangerous
Artisan electrics charge £800 per day. What on earth?!
Whats that bout $1000usd, how many employees… most of the time you dont hear about a day rate lol
