In this video you will learn how to add a circuit breaker to an electrical panel in a residential electrical system.
Be sure to watch our previous video, How to Install an Electrical Panel, before you try out the technique in this video!

I am surprised he said that for light circuit use 16 Amps circuit breaker and didn't mention what thickness of wire needed to use. According to BS standard we should always choose correct circuit breaker related to the wire. 1.5 mm wire need 6A . 2.5 mm wire 16A and so on. it is wrong to install 16 A circuit breaker for 1.5 mm wire.
bendi ro Agree!
Correct 6A for 1.5mm
Because in Europe, for home installation, the smallest wire used is 2.5mm².
So in the UK circuit breakers go in series for the whole phase? If the first one trips they all run out of power, what in tarnation is this?
No. new regulation demands two RCD in the consumer unit and divided in two serial if you like to call it. In case of earth problem, one of the RCD will trip out, for over loading, only one fuse will trip out.
Those I believe are French RCBOs. One group of RCBOs is protected by an RCD another group protected by another RCD.
You didn't mention the gauge of wire to use? What country is this job being done in? This is interesting.
what country are you in lot different then in the us where i am i do wiring here i have lots of videos me doing wiring here hope you enjoy them thanks
They are in Europe or Indonesia because they both use the same plug and socket.
The fuseboard tells me tha it's france.
Is it possible to share one neutral between 2 separate phases?
no
if you don't know what you are doing DO NOT do anything in this video
YOU FORGOT TO TURN OFF THE ELECTRICITY AT THE BEGINING
YOU FORGOT TO WATCH THE START OF THE VIDEO
Here is the Isolator Breaker before the RCD?
Right above the distribution box.

I just wonder why professional electrician wanted to watch this type of. if you know what you doing what's the point of watching videos and leaving bad comments.
in where I come from I called them fucking loses :)
I watch this kind of video to correct it for people like you with no experience not to learn wrongly. Now you have learnt something today ..... loses.
Wow, I'm surprised the UK and other countries are allowed these kind of breaker panels, direct contact to the wall, wires just ran through a hole in the wall, plastic enclosures. Are there a lot of home fires in the uk? I mean I get that they are 230v with less load so less heated conductors when loose, but if something happens its just going to be a melty fiery mess..
They are circuit breakers. As in, if the load on the circuit exceeds its rating it'll trip. The home will also have a main breaker. So if you're an idiot and start a mig welding school in your lounge room the main breaker will stop the wires getting to hot and frying your house.
Haha, I didn't even notice it was directly screwed onto the wall and not actually an enclosure, per se. This would not fly in Australia, although double-insulated cable through a gyprock would be fine. Had there been a sharp metal edge or it goes outside, non-metallic corrugated pipe would be required. We do however have plastic switchboards, although ours are required to be protected by RCD as well. These days they are built in to the CB in most products.
There are constant changes in wiring regulations in the UK - for example all new wirings must now be in a metal box! (Also this video is not an example of a typical UK installation). There are many different wiring regulations across Europe and they all have different practises. Any poorly installed electrical wiring generally ends in a melty fiery mess regardless of the countries supply...
Normally we screw the unit onto a 6mm plywood sheet that is attached to the wall and then then a nice gloss panel for a nice finish, this is for learning. Protected by MCB's it will just trip no fire in 99% of cases
Most homes in Asia (Southeast Asia especially) have concrete wall instead of wooden wall like you have in most houses in U.S. (not sure about Europe though).
When did it change to fit a 16 Amp C/B instead of a 6 Amp C/B for a lighting circuit?????
I’m sure it’s in a different country hence them using 16a for lighting as apposed to a 6amp mcb here in the uk, just a guess... I might be wrong!
They are dutch or french, that's why it's different.
@@czonczike630 in the netherlands for any common home its 16 a for lights as wel for power outlets
@@irshicosmos3233 Thanks for the correction.
A million videos on how to ADD a circuit breaker and none on how to REMOVE the damn things.

this system is very bad.
Absolutely shocking video
(no pun intended)
This is a good way to burn your house down or worse. You should never add MCBs unless you are trained to know what you are doing. Nothing is mentioned here about testing / RCD protection / correct wiring / voltage (for different countries) and basic EIC regulations.
Yeah I cannot believe that videos like this even exist. It seems everyone is not just an electrician now, but a doctor as well. Thanks internet.
Evil comment, you are electrician and soon jobless😄
Agree with this. Make sure you always use a qualified Electrician for this work. Didn't even mention the most basic "pull" tests, which protect your swb from arcing.
@@medmak1494 I am not an electrician. I know basic stuff about causes of fires with bad electrics. I've had to learn when I moved into my house to put right all the bad DIY electrics that were totally unsafe. This video doesn't even mention sealing the panel with fire rated sealant once the wires are installed. This comes under building regs. If a fire were to start in the panel, it needs to be isolated within it and not travel into the wall where it cannot be tackled or even detected.
@@benscaper5345 This video should be taken down. It should at least have disclaimers. It's open to a law suit as it is. Any school leaver can look at this and think "Oh, it's that easy then? Okay...." .... picks up non-electrical screw driver
