Hi young Sean, them porcelain insulators with the well rusted flat head screws can be a nightmare to remove, don't be too surprised about the quality of the work we old sods did back in prehistoric times matey, don't forget we didn't have all the fancy testers you have today so we just had to get it right first time, as for the maths lesson you are absolutely correct, also very well explained. Keep up the excellent work Sean. Very best regards from Ray the old sod from North Wales.
Haha when you see people tally and there’s 12 circuits it just starts getting ridiculous 😂 I’ll tally them if there’s like 5 or 6 any more and it’s romans 👏🏼
Neato trick dude. Thanks for that. Great video. Totally looked like a 4mm compared to the cables for the RFC's. Do you treat your ply back boards with a fire proofing solution?
Nice board job Sean but less "waffle" 😆😆😆 joking aside whoever fitted that old wylex 804 standard fuse board or consumer unit 🙄 did make a tidy job except with them old fuse boards wylex used to say put the heaviest load nearest the main switch first so cooker, ring, immersion heater and so on..... the guy that fitted this can't of read the instructions because he put the lightest load first next to the main switch lights doorbell etc up to the heaviest 😆😆
Ah that’s nice to know mate, we try and do that as standard but never knew it was actually in the instructions back then 👌🏼 good to know Thanks for watching
I think back then the live busbar was only rated at 60 amp but we didn't have 9.6kw showers and a house full of ipads and the latest wide screen tv 😆 but you wire up a tidy board. I was at one on a new build housing estate that has only been up 3 month and it must of been a 4pm job as when I took the cover off it was like opening a can of Aldi spaghetti * other brands are available* hah ha.
@@adierob1 hahaha so true ! New builds are some of the worst tbh ! I’m happy to leave it as long as I’d be happy to find it on an EICR, that’s my rule to myself
@@Cablesmith - Yeahh I was just adding another trick to the way of testing incase anyone didn’t know bud! Ohh day 1 over here boss, you’re a top spark, always had me in stitches!🤣
You little Trickster... you 😄. But stop giving all these tricks away otherwise in years to come I've little doubt someone somewhere will open up a CU and find DIY Dave's phone still in there 🤣 Anyway.... neat little job there mate.👊
@@Cablesmith for sure. Tbh I do it in my little brain. School day for a lot of people on this which we consider basic mathematics. Quality video as always pal.
0:40 Ask your client "Where's your consumer unit?", they won't have a clue what you're on about. It's a crap vague term that could mean pretty much anything. "Fusebox", everyone knows what you're talking about.
Yep I know that’s why I say Fusebox a lot out of habit. keep it universal 😂 Sometimes you’ll say “consumer unit” and the clients will reply “do you mean fuse board” 🤷🏻♂️😂
In the case you get a bad reading, you should always squeeze the end of the crocodile clips to get truer reading on the cable.
Yea I usually do tbf mate, not sure why I didn’t on this.
Thanks for watching 👏🏼
Great Video Sean! Thank as always for using Verso 👍🏼
Thanks 🙌🏻

Thanks ray, your right about them old flat heads ! 😂
top video mate, good idea with the dog n bone, saves blowing 30 bar or whatever it is for the boddington mirrors alot of people use
Cheers mate, and yea I’ve always got my phone. I know I’d lose that mirror 😂
10:15 Operator precedence is what it's called. That is a super neat board, lovely job :)
Thanks Robin 👌🏼 and thank you for your continued support on here also. Appreciate that
boards in a cupboard - yucko 😂 tidy result either way mate 👊
😀 thanks mate 👏🏼
That consumer unit looks absolutely excellent
They really are mate 👌🏼
Nice one Sean!
Cheers bud 👌🏼
who will be the first to be seen on TH-cam, Cablesmiths Dno toe, or Crj's Pablo. Place your bets folks. 😉😉😂😂😂
I’ll catch him one day mate don’t you worry 😂👏🏼 legend he is
Great video.
Brilliant video - as always - and an excellent maths lesson! Electrician , plumber, maths teacher... what next?
Next….Bundy’s apprentice 👀
Thanks for watching mate
New word of the week ‘annihilated’ 🤣
😂😂😂
Cracking job Sean,one of the best boards I've seen,the RCBO's definitely improve the look of a CU, a lot tidier looking
Totally agree, they stand extremely uniform and it makes a world of difference 👏🏼thanks for watching mate
your videos are significantly better than your sub count! get the word out keep them coming
Thank you mate, appreciate that I really do. That’s my biggest set back I don’t push the channel much at all really.
Thanks for watching 👏🏼
Always good to see peoples tips and tricks. Tidy job well done
Cheers mate, and thanks for watching bud 🙌🏻
LOVE that phone trick under the busbar wowowow stealing that, legend
🙌🏻
Cracking video Sean 👍👍 keep them coming mate 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thanks matey 👏🏼
Thanks for the trick and as all ways nice job, mate and good presentation for maths😊
Thanks matey, appreciate your constant support 👌🏼
Oooooooo. Sean's using roman numerals. Fancy! Who are you trying to impress, Sean? Artisan, perhaps? 😆😆😆
Haha when you see people tally and there’s 12 circuits it just starts getting ridiculous 😂
I’ll tally them if there’s like 5 or 6 any more and it’s romans 👏🏼
Liking the look of those boards
Top boards 👌🏼 one of the best for quality on the market imo
Why not give us a try!
@@navitascp will do
Neato trick dude. Thanks for that. Great video. Totally looked like a 4mm compared to the cables for the RFC's. Do you treat your ply back boards with a fire proofing solution?
yea I think it was 4mm, when I surveyed it tho I put it down as 2.5 but obviously didn’t look close enough.
No I don’t but I keep the CU fire sealed.

I do L-L reading and N-N readings desperately x by 1.67 and it roughly gives you the expected CPC end to end or if it’s old cables it’s x by 2.5.
Yea I do that too, but this was for expected R1+R2
Thanks for watching Joey, and all your continued support since EARLY ! 👏🏼
@@Cablesmith - Yeahh I was just adding another trick to the way of testing incase anyone didn’t know bud! Ohh day 1 over here boss, you’re a top spark, always had me in stitches!🤣
@@joeypriestman6783 ah I see ! 🤦🏻♂️ cheers mate
@@Cablesmith - no worries boss! If you’re ever in the Cambridgeshire area let me know be good to see ya!
Nevermind, found the video, mate. 😆
🤯🤯🤯🤯
💪
Thanks For watching 😊
@@Cablesmith Great video... thanks
Impact on a busbar…I had you down as better than that 🤣🤣🤣😘
😂😂 demonstration purpose only 😂
@@Cablesmith 🤣🤣
nice and neat that board mate :) Just gained a new sub from me.
Thanks mate, can I ask about your channel name ? do you keep snakes ?
@@Cablesmith no actually it's my gamer tag, but I have done in the past.
@@snakearts6309 ahh fair enough, I breed snakes… fun pointless fact for ya 😂
You little Trickster... you 😄. But stop giving all these tricks away otherwise in years to come I've little doubt someone somewhere will open up a CU and find DIY Dave's phone still in there 🤣
Anyway.... neat little job there mate.👊
Hahahaha where’ve I left that bloody phone 😂
Never seen those earth blocks
Most common ones going
Mathematics ordering BODMAS (Brackets, Order, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction)
Yep, but I see far too often people calculating expected R1+R2 on the phone like that, which is wrong.
Thanks for watching buddy 👌🏼
@@Cablesmith for sure. Tbh I do it in my little brain. School day for a lot of people on this which we consider basic mathematics. Quality video as always pal.
@@ericbrooks1673 thank you matey 👌🏼
That's not a nipple, it's a coupler, a nipple is externally threaded.
It is externally threaded 🙂
@@Cablesmith Sorry mate, 480p on a mobile made it look smooth!
@@TheFool2cool no danger I know what it’s like on videos sometimes mate 👌🏼 thanks for watching btw 👏🏼
