    Hi. This video is about Wiring a consumer unit. As I've got plenty of time isolating at home I decided to to this video fully animated, I used Adobe Animate and Premiere Pro to put it together. Hope it helps . The most important is to fit all the neutral wires in a correct sections of the neutral bar.
    The Rcd's are a great inventions and I think that every house should have all the circuits protected by them.If you like this video please Subscribe to my Channel for more. Thanks For Watching !

    the idea to remove all the wires and show the cu being wired from scratch is masterful imo, nothing short of genius, u are a brilliant teacher, so few are !

    Very informative, great video. It won't stop DIYers, general builders touching electrics, its just 3 wires, they can watch several videos and do rewires. How I see - it will bring more work for competent electricians deal with consequences.
    3 things forgot to mention:
    1. Bonding.
    2. Electrical installation certificate.
    3. Fuse box or adding new circuit to fuse box it is part P notifiable work and home owner can be fined thousands of pounds for illegal building work if is not compliant.
