I must say I very much appreciate the pace you talk at it gives me just enough time to gather my thoughts. when I learnt this not too long ago it was at a much faster pace and I just had to take note and go over them as I didnt understand it fully

Andy you're an absolute diamond.THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking the time and making the effort to make and post such a BRILLIANT video. Crystal clear step by step explanations throughout. I have my first NICEIC assessment in the morning and this was the one sticking point I was struggling to get my head around, until watching this that is.

An outstanding presentation - clear, concise and utterly understandable; thank you!

Very clear explanations and voice. A blessing for all foreigners listening.

This hands down is the best explained video for this aspect of inspection and testing procedures I will be looking for other related videos on this channel from now on THANK YOU GUYS

You are sooooooooo briliant teacher that i have seen in my whole life.thank you soooooo much.please share more video.

Fantastick video!!! Very good, very clear, lots of information, high standard. Very helpful. Really good work.👍

This is by far the best electrical video explaining how to do Ze and PFC tests. I watched Andys video on transposition of formula and he explained that better than my course tutor. Its a shame you do not do a whole series of testing videos that relate to the AM2 as this is where a lot of apprentices etc struggle. I hope this is something you will do in the future.

Very simply explained video. I'll be sharing to others who I feel will benefit from this video.

thanks for sharing this knowledge. Its quite a huge and complicated topic.

An absolutely brilliant video sir.thankyou so much indeed.this helped me out loads.godbless you.

Excellent and confident delivery

A most excellent demo.gentlemen.very helpful indeed.thankyou kindly.

Dear sir.a most butifully presented video .lovely clear and concise.a superb presentation.takes me back to my tester course.keep up the great videos.steve

I'm always watching your video and now I'm going to to start my first course next month.✌️

Brilliantly explained. Thanks for that

Excellent, clear and very helpful. Thank you!

My thanks to Tim and Chris for pointing out that the instruction manual requires the test leads on a Kewtech KT63 to be in 2-wire mode when using the high current test mode. In answer to your question Tim about whether previous test results are valid, I've conducted the test many times using both 2 lead and 3 lead configurations on various meters and the results have always been identical. The golden rule though is always follow the manufacturer's instructions so I've given myself a slap on the wrists!

I wish you had been my teacher! Calm collective and precise!

What a brilliant video. Thank you.

Very well presented easy to understand thank you

Brilliant explaination

Clear explanation. Well done. Please do one on Insulation Resistance Test. Thank you.

Brilliant video I feel like I was in the classroom.

Very well explained, thanks!

That was very well explained 👍

Nice pace to this video. Would have been good to mention maybe why it was so important to isolate the CU when carrying out the Ze test. 👍

Great clear explanation.

Best explanation on the web without a doubt.

hi first of all very polite person very good teaching method I have enjoy learning.

Thanks for the content much appreciated

I've recently realised that the KT63 manual implies that if you use the high current mode, then in all circumstances you have to have the leads in the 2 wire configuration. Your Ze and Zs tests don't do that, but your PSC test does. From the manual "The high current test mode requires the use of the distribution board lead set ACC063 configured in 2-wire mode". and "For Ze testing at the distribution board or at any point upstream of RCD protection there is a traditional fast high current test mode. The high current mode is a 2-wire test that enables the user to test the true impedance of both the Line-Neutral Loop and the Line-Earth Loop". I've tested several installation the way you did it with the N lead seperate and got plausible results but I'm now wondering if the results are valid. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Well explained, Thanks

37k views and no one has left a comment. Andy - slight surprise that the term meggering is still being used, the onsite guide being referenced in a training session and no main earth terminal notice fitted, but i'm nit picking ! a clear and excellent video.

Thanks for the video!!

Thanks for this.

thanx very much for the effort.so generous

Excellent video well presented nice worx

Very informative. Thanks

Great video!! Very helpful

Great vid. Very well explained. Thanks for sharing. 🐵

That is really 'very very excellent'!!! I did get it! Thanks a lot!

This video is awesome thanks man

thank you very much for good video.

Love this video!

Very nice presentation and easy to follow. How is it possible that doing Zs (at DB) you are able to measure Ze + R1 + R2 with main switch and all breakers in the off position? min 10:08.

really helpful thank you

Well explained..

Fantastic

Very helpful. Thank you :-)

Well in andy 👍

The KT 63 manual says that for high current test, i.e. Ze, the leads should be configured in 2 wire mode. I noted at 7.27, the test was done with 3 wire lead configuration. The manual also states do not use high current test in 3 wire configuration. Also, I noted you used 2 wire config for PSC but 3 wire for PFC. Is there a difference if you use both in 2 wire config? Both are high current so shouldn't they be config in 2 wire according to the manual? Thanks.

Hi would like to know what is a continuity bonding test and how it is done with a multimeter

Am so thankful for your educative videos What kind of meter did you use in the Ze and all the other tests pls. I wanna know the brand and the price. Thank you.

Very good

I have no obvious choice for the external earth conductor as 2 leave the back of the board. Assuming I am right one goes down so is the incoming but it is not obvious. There is a Meter on the back of the wall but that just tells me little too. It could still be the up or down and really the meter is level not down. Should I test each earth one at a time to find the correct one?

nice video the best

Why are you showing a high current test in the 3 wire configuration when the kewtech KT63 instructions state that this function is only to be used in a 2 wire mode.

This is really good is there any more subjects that can help me revise revision for my am2 test

thnx, very educatative

nice sir

What if your incoming supply is an SWA cable, and it’s also carrying an earth through the armouring. Removing the main earth from the bar won’t make a difference then will it?

Helpfull

my acs 850 drive trips in earth fault. megar test of cables and motors are showing ok, some times it runs f0r 12 /10/24 hrs but again trip. we reset the drive then start, some time it start and some many times of reset/ start then it run, what is the problem?

what is name for that measurment sir ? if i doing that test, can i use earth tester ?

@12:03 test. Good

The best evere

I am not sure why it was tested further down the line but still written in as Zs at DB? This is the last bit covered. I guess to find the highest figure for Zs but that is not the box being marker which still says at DB

Nice

Great video but how does the maximum breaker rating come into this? For example, a 6 amp breaker has a rating of 6000 amps. Why is this 6000 amp rating necessary?

My thanks to time and chrisfor

Great

I'm still trying to find out how the impedance tester calculates this for the supply side with the supply side active. No one seems to be thinking about this. Are some assumptions made about the supply side parameters ? Because unless you shut down the suppliers side and measure the source impedance with a 50 or 60 Hz generator, there is no other way to do it. Anyone care to comment ??

There are two rooms and one corridor each place have one light when we turn on the one's room light the corridor light turn on, and when we turn on light of the other room the corridor light also turn on But one room light doesn't effect the other room light.How this circuit possible?

Which tester can be used to find earth loop impedance

Live to earth test with cheap multi meter and big spark at cooker outlet. Is this cos cheap meter

Niceee

I thought you asked the supplier to provide ze figures?

152K views and no comments???

Nice tutoring till Zs@DB. You do not do Zs test at DB unless is fed from a submain and is in another outbuilding.

👷👷👷👷

Low sound.

In practice this is never done, a simple continuity check along with standard sized cables and wires is the name of the game..
