When ever I get hold of a updated version of the onsite guide and the regs. I will instantly make it available digitaly, for everyone for free. You know its the right thing to do! Because anything health and safety related should be absolutely free for all🤔😉. They can charge whatever they want, but don't stop people distributing it for free.
I am a sparky and I wouldn't put battery's in my loft so how come the industry thought it was OK madness
Yur, bit of an own goal that one... 🤔
IET need to milk us a bit more... Thank god for eFIXX to keep us updated..
Just doing what we do! 😃
Don't touch overhead cables even if they fall to ground
Very, very, good advice. 💪
Great news weekly as always Joe 👍
Thanks Sean! 😊
Happy Anniversary Mr & Mrs Robinson 🎉🥂
Thank you kindly Mark. 😊
Aussie spark here, enjoy watching your video and tutorials. Glad Aus isnt the only country that makes you pay to stay up to date with regs within the trade.
Congratulations Joe . Twenty years you’ve still a pup , I’ve been married thirty eight years and I have two wonderful daughters as well and two grandchildren.
That's what it's all about Sean, thanks buddy! 👍
Happy anniversary!
i'm going with monocle and logjam 🤔 happy anniversary too 👍
That EM kit is duxking nuts THAT is a game changer
Monocle and Mole is my bet, good update
Great guesses and thanks very much, listen to next Monday's show to see if you got it! 😃
Yet another amendment and I have only recently bought the 'brown book', now I will probably have to pay out for another one! Well done IET, obviously you are not screwing us for enough money!
Nope, it's a free download that you can pop in your brown book this time. 😁
@@efixx could probably write it on a post-it-note...
Quick question can we do group cpds? Ie we all watch a video on one system and about 5 people get separate cpd certs?
Oh and I did the CPD on motor controls I got a score of 100% but never received my CPD certificate
It should be available in your account to download. 🤔
Oh I never knew that
You can only now have 3 amendments to a current edition of the wiring regulations, so it will be the 19th edition, and that is a whole load of "ka-ching"
Actually there are circumstances where BSi will allow you to make further amendments. We'll see which way it goes. 😃
I believe each new addition and amendment will,come with a free tube of Anusol to ease the pain
Well... I mean, the draft for public comment is still open if you want to suggest it? 🤔😂
Wouldn’t it be easier to take a pause and do a brainstorming session and come out with a complete edition? The risk for electricians missing alterations must be taken into account?
@@efixx I have!
You can buy outdoor batteries alot have heaters
Probably become a standard thing the way it's going. 🤔
Does that mean we could get an amendment 4 of the 18th edition of BS7671?
That's exactly what I've been wondering Sergio, watch this space...
@@efixx Sorry but I could not resist this one. Lol
The Constitution, through the Fourth Amendment, protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures by the government. The Fourth Amendment, however, is not a guarantee against all searches and seizures, but only those that are deemed unreasonable under the law.
😂 Seems legit...
Happy anniversary Joe
Thank you kindly! 😊
These people in charge knew batteries in a loft would be a problem but chose until now to put it in the regs . It's a joke. They just decide when they are arsed about things .
It's more of a response to an increasingly dangerous situation...
@@efixx so they didn't think about this in the first place , that's what I'm arguing about , if they look into new things so much just make the reg before it goes wrong . Think I'm just fed up of ammendments to extract cash from us .
Yeah, I see where you're coming from but that's how regulation develops, they foresee as much as they can and then respond to developing situations. The good news is this amendment will be a free download, so no new book required this time. 😊
@@efixx I get things change but we went from metal boards to plastic ones then back to metal ... they just pick and choose what they want to be fussy with . If they didn't have people just handing out regs passes to people maybe I would say yeh it's about the science and stuff but there are many an exam centre which just give you a pass because it helps the numbers . They aren't arsed if you can read the regs or not ! 100% pass rate the guy says by us , its been like that since I was in college 15 years ago ! Anyway sorry for the rant but appreciate the response keep up the good videos !
😂 No worries for the rant, this is a safe space! 😃
Also I agree with you about the 100% pass rate, I always used to argue when I was teaching that a 100% pass rate denotes a lack of quality because there's clearly not enough rigour. Management disagrees. 🤷 C'est la vie! 😂
So where do I find this link to the CPD training?
It's in the video description Mike, but I've included it here for your convenience. 😊training.efixx.co.uk/course/an-introduction-to-motor-control-in-association-with-crompton-controls?previouspage=allcourses&isenrolled=no
Monocle and guacamole
Without the insulation. a 'heat pump' (bit of a joke really) will do, as all other heat sources before it, and heat the outside. 🙄🖖
Yur, insulation and ventilation upgrades required... 🤔
Log jam and flange
Pretty certain tesla givenergy and soleredge batteries have always been IP rated and givenergy has always used LiFePo batteries too so suitable for cold weathers
monocle and log-jam
Nice guesses, listen to Monday's show to see if you're right! 😃
I said it before, I was hoping that the whole no batts in the loft thing would start a bit of a revolution. Sure, Tesla, Myenergi etc were already on it - but many weren't - and most people don't have the space and in the loft is a terrible alternative. I once witnessed somebody put a pick through an 11kV cable that was feeding a fairly large chunk of a city, was incredibly not pretty - luckily we had a relatively large medical team and a mini fire brigade on our site, because I wouldn't have wanted the responsibility of dealing with that, his heart stopped like 5 times before the ambulance arrived - but by the time it did he was on the phone talking to his wife telling her what happened. Pays to be fairly strong and young in that situation.
Oh my god what ever next
Tune in next week to find out. 😂
Im a plumber now.
Monocle and Whac-a-mole
Great guesses Mark, going to have to find some new prizes if you get it again this week! 😂
Monocle and Scrambling.
Great guesses Ian, make sure you're listening to next week's show to see if you got it. 😃
Words log jam and monocle
Monocle and scrutinise
11-0 Where were the plumbers? Popped down the wholesalers to pick up some bits
I think next year might be a different story... 🤔
@@efixx Are you gonna play on a Saturday or Sunday then.....when the wholesalers are shut
Strike , monacle
Are the two words " happy anniversary " ?
Monocle and wacomole
Great guesses as always Sean. 💪
Happy anniversary!!
Monocle and whack-a-mole
Monocle & Whack-a-Mole
Great guesses Richard, listen to next Monday's show to see if you got them right! 😃
Log jam and whac a mole
Monocle & Whack a mole?!
Good guesses! Make sure you're listening next week to see if you're right! 😃
Monocle & whack-o-mole
Monocle and Wac-a-mole....(perhaps not).🤭
Or perhaps Mike! Tune in next week to see! 😃
I’m guessing Monacle and whackamole
IET running short of funds, time for a new book, seen as they are not the cheapest thing, any chance they can produce one without errors 😂😂
Nope, this amendment is a free download. 👍
@@efixx yes they will be, but if there's a raft of them there will be a new book as sure as eggs are eggs
Yep, that's how regulations work, they need to respond to developing technologies and methods or they become redundant. That's life I guess. 🤷
Someone changed the laws of physics?
They is no work why to make regulation harder ? For whom ?
1:43 Monocle
7:19 whack-a-mole
I reckon it's these two words?
Monical and logjam
monocle, whac-a-mole
Monocle and mole
Boffin and monocle
Did I pronounce your name even vaguely right? 🤔
@@efixx Not at all but was very impressed how fluent you pronounced it.
😂😂 How should it sound?
This new book should be rainbow colour.
News to me
Hopefully to all of us! 😃
Monocle & whack-a-mole 🧐
'Net zero' - using inadequate green energy but backing it up with coal firing on standby just in case the wind does not blow. Genius
2nd
Slightly less skills!
FFS........ 🤔
First...
Skills!
6:20 how the fuck do you get a patent on "putting LEDs on an adhesive backed flex PCB"
Monocle and whack-a-mole.
Let's make houses even more expensive to build and maintain!
x
Flange & Ingress .... (not sure it's the right channel tbh)
No need insulation for cavity etc. Hahahahaha 90% houses like Swiss cheese how they are like the heat pump to heat house if is drafted as he'll
The irony of citing LiFePO₄ as good for outdoor use because of low temperature charging when that chemistry doesn't have the potential fire risk of Li-ion and so doesn't need to be sited outdoors, or wouldn't if the guidance was based on science and not knee-jerks.
Monocle and Whac-a-mole
Boffin and monocle
