Thanks

Good tips

😁

It looks as though that bubbled conductor was carrying the full load of the circuit.

I'd have checked insulation resistant plus ring continuity. I would also check the RCD trip time. Checking the load with a load meter would clarify if too much current was being drawn.

That'll be £95 please 😁

£96 😉

electricians are the worse on long island. always have to share one breaker with 6 wires. in out fast doing cheap work. im the only one who does it right. always explain to customer what is going on. and at my regular job customers like my work very much. very easy to troubleshoot. I'm a Sr Electrical Tech/engineer on machines and teaching new engineers.

Glad you like them!

🤣

wait do you have to like throw in coins or load money onto a card or how does that work in your country? lmao

@@luca35821 They have a "key" that you top up with money at a local corner shop or petrol station. This way no money is kept in the meter and nobody has to visit to empty it.

Stuart Arnold damn that‘s so crazy! may i ask which country this is in? also in the UK?

@@luca35821 it was in the Uk

Wow great thanks for your comment! Welcome to the channel!

Glad you enjoyed!

Thanks 👍

Why? He is not there to an eicr.

Joseph Queen ... TBH I thought he might just in case the fault was caused by an incomplete ring...eg someone changed a socket and didn’t ensure continuity. But...he covered his ass with the recommendation to undertake IECR test.

@@kloddi25 Because with the heat damage on only 1 side it looks like that one is taking all the load, indicating a broken ring. Plus you'd be a bit daft not to take mere seconds to do a quick test for continuity when changing the mcb on a ring.

@@kloddi25 lol you ever heard of the last one to touch it owns it even in the states if you repair something you have a responsibility to make sure it is safe and operable circuit (same with uk sparks )

Yes continuity test R1+R2 test

LOL

Thanks for the info!

My thoughts exactly! It's a bit wonky...

Hoping he did off camera because I didn't see him tighten the terminal for the buzz bar on the replacement breaker.

Or fully back out the bottom terminal so it catches the busbar

This is Jordan.... Of course he did..... :)

@@roydowling2542 'Buzz bar'. Good one!

LOL

spot on-id of done the same

Yeah we are old school haha

What's the benefit of not using solid core wires?

@@slobodanjovanovic8166 The cables are much more flexible and easier to work with.

Thanks again!

Isn't one

one side of the ring not contact the breaker, so other side takes all the current.

It was taking all the load because the other leg of the ring wasn't terminated into the MCB. So, yes, a broken ring.

I was thinking this and thinking, am I missing something🤭

Just dramatic effect

@@artisanelectrics And potentially damaging the client's equipment.

That's called a ring circuit only exists in the UK and some of their former colonies.

What type of mine does your miner work in ? Coal mine - Iron ore mine - Lithium mine - or perhaps it is a diamond mine -- Catch up on reading some books so that you can learn the difference between Miner and Minor It is a Major error of language you made that you should be beyond making. Make it right by writing each of those words one hundred times -

A kitchen is always over-committed (you can turn on all the plugged in devices and it will certainly be over 32A), but generally people rarely turn on the washing machine, dishwasher, toaster, hot-air fryer, kettle and microwave at the same time. This is protected by the MCB. So the MCB will protect the circuit if a single appliance has a fault. Additionally, device in the kitchen of a UK house will be protected by a fuse in the plug, or the fused outlet at 13A. So a failed appliance (like a washing machine failing motor winding) is very likely to blow a fuse. In this case it is possible that one of the terminals is not making contact in that MCB - limiting the rating of the circuit to the 27A max rated (non insulated) 2.5mm wire , but generally 2.5mm will just get too hot out of spec rather than be damaged. I would have probably checked a few sockets to see if there was any heat damaged elsewhere since this is the kitchen circuit, but that CU heating certainly looked like heating from the faulty connection and not along the wire itself. Remember, even good connections are the weak point, not the wire itself, so if there is overload this will be seen in the sockets and other connections - so hence checking a couple of ring sockets to see if there is heating due to the failed ring.

Sounds like you need to call a qualified electrician as it could be dangerous

It's Britain not the Netherlands.

For what type of load?

Cool thanks

He says that he's going to return to do a full check when not on "emergency call out" charges.

@@stupot_64 I'd still spend 5 minutes checking the tightness of the other breakers whilst I was there.

@@Chris-hy6jy Admittedly so would I.

Are Cs not for inductive loads? And will require more fault current to trip?

@@jameshansing5396 for me in houses is better B curve more responsive.. but here in europe 90% of CU are C type even you go buy local eletrical shop they give you C type MCB ..

James Hansing yeah but we have plenty air conditioning units, T8 fittings and so on so we use c type for the normal household, the regs have been requiring rcd for all circuits for more than 20 years, so we don’t rely on an mcb to trip if someone gets a shock 🤷‍♂️

Filipe S. 20 years that's impressive, every circuit ? Does it depend how it's been installed , in Walls, surface etc ,, interesting shows how far behind we are really

Boznivich Uk is only behind on the execution side of the install and access to materials.. for the theory, the regs are so winding and tricky with “you shouldn’t but you can but don’t do it” that most electricians need to go ask other electricians, making them doubt of their own work.

Agreed wholeheartedly. Bloody lethal things. I’m from Australia but live and work in Scotland and I can’t believe we’re still putting them in over here. Shambles

Saturday! Are you the man who came to see the dodgy gate?!

@@artisanelectrics yes that was me look forward to seeing the vid

👍

Thanks 👍

You're not using rings. Also, this likely has nothing to do with overload.

Ring mains are utterly ridiculous and out dated. The dangers and their deficiencies outweigh any benefits, they aren't justifiable.

Yeah we saw them demonstrated on a UK channel. Efix

Chris Farley more like a perfect example of not even putting the wires inside the terminal

Good point!

Hey. He eventually turned it off 🤣

This is not a training video, this is for entertainment.
