Totally agree with you Kelvin - this is a college level lecture, highly professional, going all the way to line-by-line comparison against the regulations for the geography of the target audience. Top content.

There are a large number of electricians on UKposts trying to make a buck out of it, both in the USA and UK that are supposedly qualified electricians that in fact don't even understand the basics of electricity. One I have had to correct recently did not even understand Kirchoff's current law. Another guy tried to claim that power is only dissipated in the load on positive half cycles of the AC sine wave waveform. There are too many of them. Sadly the kids watching the videos shower them with praise and walk away thinking they understand the concept explained in the video. eFixx doesn't get it right 100% of the time, but close to it, and are one of the few Electrician channels I would recommend.

Cheers bud!

👍👍👍 Glad it's helpful! 😃

What else are you guessing when doing EICR’s🤦‍♂️

@@robertwilliams7222 Depends what mood I'm in. Sometimes I'll guess whether there's a ring or not? And sometimes I'll guss the RCD trip times?

@@champagnesupernova7534 😂😂😂

Glad it's helpful! 😃

This is the UK and we like things done how they've always been done.

@@rodgerq At the potential risk of electrical safety?

@@rodgerq or has my ironie detector failed??

@@eddieking7736 it has failed 😋

@@rodgerq Yes, after my first reply that I what I had thought it must have, I have now rebooted it :-)

Maybe the RCD saved the life of the extension lead? 😉

Was the cats antenna up or down ,

@@connclissmann6514 😂 I wish

@@peterconnolly4608 on the other side of the room I think 😂

Cats tripping on weed is not a good thing!

Yeah

Cheers. 👍

Will you be switching to Hager to navigate the issue 😋

I think the issue is trying to explain why it will cost £300 + to the client, as some clients would struggle to understand the safety functions of an RCD

@@PardoeElectrical especially now with how stretched most people are.

And that is why our GFCI's here in the USA are 5mA max. 👍🤠

These GFI are for 1 socket and local. The RCD caovers a few circuits. ​@@Chris_In_Texas

23 mA shock across a person's heart can cause fibrillation. Initial RCDs were 20mA. Nuisance tripping.

@@patrickcannell2258 well RCD’s are set to the distribution of human survival, which can range from a low value like 15mA up to maybe 45mA with 30mS being at the centre of the normal distribution.

Thanks for the comment Sean. 👍

Thanks, it's more of an illustrative diagram to convey a point but we get your point.

Magnetic field representation is wrong. The field doesn't cross the centre of the ring.

There were several racehorses electrocuted at Cheltenham racecourse several years ago, and in Perth, Western Australia a police horse was electrocuted at the agricultural showgrounds. Both were due to old faulty underground cables presumably not RCD protected,

Ough what we gonna do now? Report to IEE and IEC immediately in written.

@@girtsziverts3530 When dealing with high EMF, it's all about attention to detail ;) One small oversight, and ZAP! Seriously, though, a diagram whose sole purpose is to explain a specific concept ought to depict that one concept correctly.

​@@girtsziverts3530 IEE doesn't exist and hasn't done for a few years. It's The IET now

More electrical stuff

@@efixx more battery powered stuff too I suspect, and fake electrical equipment i.e chargers and batteries

Internet,more news b ut actually less fires

I'm in the US and we use GFCIs and AFCIs. Frankly far superior to RCDs and ELCBs. But the UK guys who still allow ring circuits, will tell you otherwise!! Anyway, I'm not an expert in the IEC/EN/BS standards nor am I fan of how the IEC works as an organization. And I think its standards are far over rated. In my opinion, with decades in heavy industry, I see IEC rated stuff as "cheaply made junk", but that is largely because of comparing it to the bulletproof NEMA design specs. But that aside, from what I know about ELCBs and RCDs, ELCBs can potentially be of two basic types. One being voltage operated and one being current operated. The voltage operated being of older technology. You said you have no neutral bus so I'm assuming you have neutrals attached to the ground bus and likely the neutral is also bonded to the ground bus. But I'd have to see a diagram to be certain. I'm not really familiar with your panels. In TT systems, the neutral is grounded back on the utility side, usually at the generating station. Your initial breaker is likely the ELCB or maybe an RCD. You have to be careful watching these videos, because the exact system used in your country may not be the same. You also need to be careful about taking advice from someone not very familiar with your system. (so take what I'm saying with a grain of salt!) I would find the documentation for your particular ELCB. Then do some research comparing the ELCB type ad RCDs Look for stuff particular to your country's system. IEC likes to say it is the worldwide universal standards. Nothing could be further from the truth. Also note where the info is coming from. This channel is from the UK. The wire to the BS standard which is a UK version on the IEC/EN standards. IDK if Korea has its own version or if you just use the EN standards.
