Thanks for the great comment. Lots more videos to come, including more calculations. Dave.

@@learnelectrics4402 hi dave 👋today is Christmas day "so I'll bid you merry Christmas 🎅 "and a big thanks for your teaching videos " I've been in the building trade for nearly 40 years now? As a bricklayer ☠👻spent most of my time on sites 'but went self employed in 2000 ' I've learnt a little bit about electrics 'wired up a few sockets now and again? And normally had to get electrician to check it over ' 🤪but recently I came across your videos " and got interested in expanding my knowledge of electrics 'I've watched other videos of similar advice "but found yours the one that struck me the most ' its not elaborate or highly glifick "but some how it works for me?? Think it comes down to how someone can get a difficult scenario across ! I find your instruction easy to understand 😃I'm going to follow you deeper into this "and get more equated with this "wish you could of taught me years ago "🙈all the best my friend "have a good New-year 👍

Brilliant. That's exactly the feedback that we want. One video, one topic, made easy. Lots more videos on the way. Dave.

Thanks Mark, brilliant feedback, makes our day. 53? Still got loads of life in you yet and yes, it is good to pass on knowledge to the younger electricians. Thanks again. Dave

Mark, Your just a young man, Im 66 and still going strong so dont worry about age mate.

@@angelofranklin1 66 that's excellent I just noticed I put 53 don't know why because I'm 55 🤣 tell me I'm going be OK 🤣

Thank you Mike for the very positive feedback. Our aim is to produce videos that tackle just one subject each week and they are based on all the questions and difficulties that electricians and learners have had over the years during the time that we ourselves have been working on the tools and as assessors and instructors. There are many more to come yet, keep watching and thanks again. Dave.

Mike. How about the Domestic Electrician course in EC4U? I also want to join it.

@@hingninwong yes, look them up on google. The website is easy to navigate. Good luck!

@@MikeSmith-tx2lp does the domestic electrician couse fit your purpose, such as capable for you to do the minor electrical work ? Any comment to this course?

We have lots of videos on all aspects of lighting on our website. Go to LearnElectrics.com and put lighting into the search box and you will get a list of all the videos about lighting and direct links to the videos. Hope this helps, thanks for watching. Have a look at lighting Differences on this link ukposts.info/have/v-deo/hnWbd46GlpB0lpc.html

Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching. Dave.

Unfortunately we have no control over how the boffins lay out the book. Glad it helped. Dave.

Nothing should change. Install conductors with sizes as if they were in a TN-C-S system. They still have to take overload currents. Its just that your measured ZS will be all over the place. Dave.

Thanks for watching, glad you found it useful. We will be posting a video soon on 3 phase cable sizes, lots of people asking for information. Good request. Dave.

A larger cable will carry more current more easily and will not heat up at the same rate as smaller cable sizes, We can always install bigger cable and know that we will not have a problem, except perhaps with getting the cable into the terminal holes, 10mm shower cable will work for a lighting circuit but no way will it fit in the switch (an extreme example, sorry). So yes, that little section comes down to cost. Good question and thanks for watching. Dave.

You're welcome Coby.

Nice comments, thank you. Dave.

You will find installation methods begin on page 433 of the Wiring Regs book. If it is flat profile twin and earth we choose the nearest size cable equal to or greater than 32A which is 6mm. See Table 4D5 on page 456. Hope this helps. Dave.

Thank you. Great comment, it makes our hard work worthwhile.

Glad that you lie the channel Aeneas. Lots more good videos to come. Dave.

NOT , I'M NOT LIE U. I swear.

Always happy to help Reza, it makes the world go round. Dave.

There are standard sizes that we usually use for each type of circuit. The important thing is that the cable capacity MUST be equal to or greater than the fuse/breaker rating. I'll be doing a video on this soon. Stick with it, its a good trade to be in.

Thanks for the feedback. How is good old Shropshire, I lived in Shrewsbury for 20 years before heading south for the sun. Thanks for watching. Dave.

So glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the positive comments, they do help. Dave.

Consult the heater manufacturer's instructions. Some say that they can be plugged in, coming with a fitted plug is usually a good clue. Other heaters are recommended on their own circuit. Adding a new circuit assumes that you are competent and can notify the work to LABC afterwards. Only you will know if you can do this. If you are unsure, I would suggest using a REGISTERED electrician, but ask to look at his registration card (NAPIT, NICEIC etc) before giving him/her the job and before handing over any money. Tell them you want a Building Control certificate when the job is finished. And get three written quotes before making a decision.

@@learnelectrics4402 thanks, the heater doesn't come with a plug, needs wired in to a fused switch

See above.

Thank you, great feedback, appreciated.

Load is the amount of current you put through a fuse. A kettle might put a load of 13A on the circuit. A table lamp might have a load of half an amp The rating of the breaker in the consumer unit might be 20A or 32A if a ring Hope this helps. Dave.

Well, you've found them now. Stick with it, it really is a good trade to be in. It's taken me around the world several times, worked in some fantastic places. Dave.

Excellent information, thanks for contributing. Dave.

Glad you like them. Thanks for watching.

Thank you for watching and the great comment. We have a video that will show you how to calculate diversity for your cooker.

@@learnelectrics4402 thank you very much your videos are extremely well presented and helpful keep up the great work

Thanks again. Happy to help. Dave.

You can always go up in cable size, the difficulty might be in getting the conductors to fit in the accessory. Thanks for watching. Dave.

@@learnelectrics4402 Ah, I get it....thanks for answering

Happy to help. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for watching, appreciated. Dave.

It is planned Ed. Thanks for watching.

You need to look at all the information on each line. With 6mm cable the maximum cable length is 63 metres which is more than long enough for most domestic dwellings and this matches up with the rest of the information on the slide. If you install 10mm you can take the length to 105 metres. Hope this helps.

@@learnelectrics4402 Yes, i got it that based on the length of cable for the house dwelling in this case. Thanks.

A 6mm cable (6 sq mm) is fine when the insulation stays the same and the shower remains at 7000 W. A 6mm cable is near the limit. The user may well fit a 8000 W shower when a 7000 W shower becomes unavailable on replacement by a plumber. Or the insulation is upgraded. On balance I would install a 10 mm (10 SQ mm) cable.

This video is about Ib In Iz. Condition factors are covered in a different video. Thanks for watching. Dave.

A 14.7 volt drop isn't acceptable as its above the values in the Regs. You would need a bigger cable size. Dave.

Thanks, I've put this on the to do list of videos. Dave.

Most welcome, thanks for watching

Yes Richard. Amazon is probably about your cheapest. The current 18th Edition is a blue book, BUT Amendment 2 is due to be issued very soon. Whether that is weeks or months we don't know. If you buy the blue OSG you may need to buy the new amendment 2 when that comes out. Current price for the On-site Guide is about £30 depending on what deals are on.

Thanks for watching, appreciated. Have a look at this video. Dave. ukposts.info/have/v-deo/jqSFiaGMp4des5c.html

@@learnelectrics4402Thanks for the reply, can I clarify something in the video you linked? It states the equation Ib ≤ In ≤ Iz, however the summary text states that Iz must in fact be greater than In. Just wondering, as the formula implies that selecting a breaker rated the same as the CCC of the cable is fine. So would a 10amp breaker be fine for a cable that can only carry 10 amps, for example?

Thank you Maryam, appreciated. Dave.

If Ib is 9.9A then you want a 10A breaker. If you put a 40A breaker in circuit that is too big.

The Regs are for the UK only. But I used the same data when I worked in France as many devices are BS EN approved. I should check with a local electrician in the country of your choice before relying on them.

Very welcome. Thanks for watching. Dave.

Not that exact table, that is my own table to show you ta simple relationship. Thanks for watching. Dave.

Thanks Mike, thanks for the support. Dave.

The two 100 references are for different cable lengths - 63 metres and 105 metres. A longer run will need 10mm cable. Fuses/breakers above 40 amps look at pages 61/62/63 in the Wiring Regs. That's a good point, perhaps I should do a definitive list for all fuses/breakers and put it on the website. food for thought. Thanks. Dave.

You must be a mind reader. That video is planned for February. Keep watching, thanks. Bux

@@learnelectrics4402 lol

Thanks for the good feedback Justin. The book is the IET On-Site Guide 18th Edition. You will get it from Amazon or google search it or even Ebay. MAKE SURE that it is the BLUE 18th EDITION copy. Any other colour will have different data on some pages and different page numbers and is no good to you. Good luck, and thanks for watching. Lots more videos to come. Dave.

Thank you for watching.

In some instances you will need to use 400 volts, I'm thinking of 3 phase plus earth systems where there is no neutral.

Thank you in advance for valuable lessons!

No, bigger is not safer. Ideally you need the same size or the next size up that doesn't exceed the design current. We want to fuse as close as we can to the design current for safety.

You are very welcome.

Definitely not ok. Every shower should be on its own circuit. Putting three showers on one breaker will contravene the Wiring Regulations, contravene the Building Regulations, contravene the Electricity at Work Regulations and contravene the Health and Safety at Work Act. That's just for starters, you will also invalidate any trade insurance you have and any professional indemnity insurance and invalidate the buildings insurance.

No Dave, the video is correct for a dedicated shower circuit, nothing else on it. Are you perhaps looking at maximum length for a 32A Type C breaker which is 26 metres due to Zs limits? Great comments and support. Thanks, Dave.

@@learnelectrics4402 Dave could I private message you tomorrow about this?

By all means Dave, yes. There is also another table in section 7.1 that states assumed maximum is 26A, but this is not a :Should not exceed: value and has been used for cable length calculations. The Electricians Guide to the Building Regs also states that a 7kW shower can be installed on 6mm cable with a 32A breaker. Dave.

@@learnelectrics4402 how do I contact you?

Dave, I looked for you under DavePotter on Facebook. There are six, which one are you? I was going to send you a friend request. Or you can send a friend request to FB for LearnElectrics or Dave Buckley. My profile image is me with a blue jumper and the union flag in the background. Speak soon buddy.

Three thumbs, that must be good. Thanks for your support, much appreciated. Dave.

30mA is the recommended RCD. You can fit 10mA if you wish but you may find you get nuisance tripping,
