- In this video, I recap the sections I've already covered and introduce arguably the most important section: Section 5: Final Circuits.
This content is not a how to. This is simply showing examples of issues found while working as an electrician to help learners coming into our trade.

A few times in your videos you've said that it isn't that entertaining, well to us sparks that don't do this every day it is, and besides, I've seen loads of videos where the job comes second to making videos look like documentaries. You videos are brilliant, and the depth you put in to your explainations are exactly what is missing in most electricians videos. Keep up the good work.
Your “useless trivia” is golden nuggets of wisdom mate. Love learning wee bits about the meters and the older cable types.
Thank you so much for this video
You are legend
You are really and truly master
And brilliant electrician
So please you set up this channel
Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Another great video John, so glad youve carried on videos since Artisan. You were great there too !

good work
the more trivia the better
good video well explain keep them coming
Great video mate - would be keen to see the deep dive hour + one about segments on the cert as well. Keep it up 👍
Very good video
Another great video John
Brilliant and detailed as always love the videos

Hi John, another really informative video. I loved the detail about the tinned copper cables. I just have one question about something you said ... at 19 min 10 sec you point out a double pole switch for the appliances, and you say that you'd like to see FCUs on those - can I ask why? If the appliance leads were coming up through the counter top and then being plugged directly into an accessible socket you wouldn't need any fusing or isolators, right? I thought the isolator switch was to allow disconnection of the appliances when they are plugged in to inaccessible sockets, but that was all it was required to do. Thanks! Dave.
Loving these Videos from Ireland 🧐🙂🇮🇪☘️
That thumbnail John! 😂 Great video, I really appreciate the coverage on Section 5. It always seems to bring out the most disagreement between me and the other lads. I'd personally love to see a long format video just on Section 5. Or maybe a compilation video of the "greatest hits" of common Codes from across multiple jobs that you've seen would be interesting.... Either way, I look forward to your next adventure!
@WithoutAPadd1e I know mate 😂 cheers for the feedback. No doubt a decent example will come up soon enough that's rough as and a great example for section 5 long form content. But whenever I have a chance to show something interesting I'll try document it 👍
Great video John. I would like to know where you get you knowledge about the history of electrics. My google seaches (admittedly not thorough) dont come up with much.
@mrbeckles77 Cheers mate. A lot of it was through my apprenticeship. I was taught by gents in their 50-60's so they installed and worked on a lot of older stuff and explained it as we came across it. The IET have a awesome guide. Search "Estimating the age of an installation" on Google and it should come up 👍
A really long video thank you.
John, that uncovered multi strand earth wire was used by early phone companies, usually buried in the walls. 50/60s
@JohnMyer999 Thanks mate, I didn't know that 👍
yes, usually bonded to the MET or a water pipe to get the earth for party lines
A 20amp.d p switch is ok to use as apposed to a fused spur. Because the washing machine is more them likely on a 13amp plug top if the washing machine was on a flex outlet then a spur would be necessary just out of interest what did you code the skirting sockets
166 and two thirds revs per kWh John
Great video, and to answer your question,,,,probably best to do videos like this one so they are not over long.
Curious, you say you agree with the client the scope (%) of your EICR and then went on to visually and funtionality, switching wise, of everything or 100%.
Is this your standard,,,visually and functionality 100% and the testing of circuits is say, 25%?
@ningis21 So I visually inspect 100% of accessories accessible and open 20% (or whatever is agreed) for internal inspection. I'll list on my limitations any limitations such as "no access to bedroom 2" "sockets behind kitchen appliances not inspected due to potential damage to lino flooring" etc.
But every accessory accessible will be visually inspected on the surface, and any switches/isolators operated as a functional test.
Also, thanks for your feedback 👍
Does the bonding need to be one continuous piece? I thought permanent connections were also fine
Yes, permanent crimp connection is fine, is our usual fix if the bonding is looped but NOT in one piece
👌👌
Main earth should enter same hole as tails.
C3 for skirting sockets due to fire hazard from moulded plugs/hoovers bashing plugs.
There's always something else to find 😂
@RabM1990 You're tight. The regs do mention the earthing conductor passing through the same hole but realistically the current induced under fault conditions aren't going to be an issue on a
@@John_Faultless I wouldn't mention the earth entering a different hole unless it was an EICR with a list of codes already.
It's difficult not to be strict though, when the question you ask yourself is could I defend this in court if I don't note it.
I sometimes write an "Obs" for observation for the likes of the earth coming through a different hole. I've not coded it but I have noted it and my visual assessment can't be questioned at least.
I do also treat your videos as CPD. Always learning.
@RabM1990 Yea, depending on the software you're using, it's difficult to add observations that are not code per se. NICEIC software I find a chore to add things like that to apart from in the additional pages section. I use megger certsuite that has the option for non code observations which I find really useful. I should do a poll for software people use and their benefits so people are informed when choosing.
However, I'm going put it out there that NICEIC is a rip off! 😂
@@John_Faultless I have also found a fault with EICRs on the NICEIC site... if you enter using certificate view it sometimes won't save, wasting 45 mins of my time!
That gas hob is piped up wrong should be hard piped
DNO response for an exposed conductor is 2 hours to ESQCR
@haldo691 Yea an A code like A07 exposed live parts, they will attend promptly. However, the exposed live parts with the metering equipment is not the DNO responsibility. I bunged up the L3 service fuse. The landlord didn't know who the energy provider was for the meter issue.
For a high earth loop impedance you have to send an eicr to ukpn for them to attend which is mad really.
@@John_Faultless Cut a seal on a main fuse then it becomes an A code as live parts are accessible without a tool ;) lol
Wow , fussy or what !!!
Vsauce is that you???
@@defylogicrcpdfr mate I get this so much 😂😂😂
@@John_Faultless 🤣 he is a good-looking lad, take it as a complement
John I watch every video you post , but u never replied my messages
@enochabban8086 Hi mate, I appreciate the support. I received your email but I'm running a business and can't chat to everyone on a personal level. I'm putting out educational content as an when I can. I'm answer any questions in the comments when I have the time 👍
Am relax now that you have replied me, Is not about thing , I know are busy so us I am here . I have time on weekends, am Electrician as Iike u ,I just want to have a foreign friend. But I understand what you mean no ( problem ) thanks 🙏 appreciated appreciated
