Excellent and very educational. Bonus humour as well. Like the tip using the washer to secure your cable into the chase. reg your light switches configuration ( big word for an irishman) is that the 2 plate method or feeding the switch. Do you ever use the loop in method or is that a thing from the distant past. Thankyou for taking the time to make this its much appreciated.
Lovely job. you made it look easy. I know this is prob a stupid question but im a beginner trying to gain knowledge if the neutral fly lead from the rcbo goes into the neutral bar corresponding to whatever no the rcbo is from main switch then where does the cable neutral go. Does it go into the rcbo itself somewhere. Thanks again superb video.
Great content again. Good for you treating your apprentices with respect, and letting them have a go. keep up the excellent work.
Good video and very interesting how you go about testing.So am I right in saying that you carry out the EICR noting down the values you obtain and then you flag up anything that is suspect eg bathroom light not IP rated and then you notify the customer of any remedial work to bring the installation up to the wiring regs etc. Is it up to the customer then to decide to go ahead or can you enforce it if they refuse due to finance etc. Thankyou again superb content.
Your a really nice fella, and I like the odd shot of real movie scenes, spotted Forest whittaker in the last king of Scotland, brilliant movie. Really enjoyed that informative video. Is that the wiring centre with the wagos inside? Does it come like that or did you add the wagos? AM i right in saying the orange wire is the one that goes live when the motorised valve hits the micro switch and then brings boiler and pump on. Thanks for taking the time to make this video its much appreciated.
@@AngelaPeters-fy1tc ah cheers! Bit of fun 🤩. Wago do that wiring centre so comes like that but you can swap them out to any configuration. They do a bigger one which would have been nicer for this job. Yes that’s right grey perm runs through the micro switch to orange which then turns the boiler and pump on. You never learn this fully in college so handy to see
Thx James I have sent you a request for the pricing matrix thx
Love the video. Really interested in the pricing matrix and how it works 💪. Hope you had a good holiday
Thank you for a very informative video. Nice to see the RAF combat jets are up there protecting our skies. God bless and protect all of the servicemen and woman, also any of the four emergency sevices, that are keeping this country safe. They don't seem to get the recognition they deserve but we would be in trouble without them.
I know! We don’t do anything for our veterans like the Americans do. They are paid well and decent pension but no public reverence. Yes God bless them
Great video
Cheers!
You a sparky or business owner?
Keep showing your face James!
Love the backdrop james! I like knowing more about the business side too!!
Cheers ted!
i plan on becoming an electrician when i graduate this year, i dont know if u work in the U.S cause i hear u got an accent so idk how similar it is from where u live to here, but from my research in the U.S i think apprentices make like 17-24 an hour, is being an electrician hard/does it require alot of math like any written tests because im not really school smart but i have and good memory so when i do learn it sticks with me
@@GHOST-by3hj heya Ghost! It’s great being an electrician! Good choice, so uk appreciates get £6.40 then just minimum wage when your over 21. Our course is 3 years with a year to do a portfolio and final big exam. You can be as dumb as a box or rocks and still pass if you just listen in class so I wouldn’t worry! Just get in with a decent electrical company to learn from and you will be fine
@@finneyelectrical thank you man, this helped alot
Brilliant job. I’ve got my van booked in with them in a couple of weeks.
Why would two RCDs in series trip together, after around 24 hours powered? But when there was only one RCD it did not trip! I didn't find a large current imbalance nor any ground currents. Any tips?
@@tzm1843 so basics is rcds trip at the rating, so they trip when something causes more than 30mA leakage or trip if they are faulty. If they test out ok then it must be something intermittent in this case. If you do an insulation resistance test with the rcds off from line to earth and neutral to earth then if there’s an issue you generally get a reading less than 1Mohm. Disconnect the neutral and turn off the mcbs to find which circuit, then dive into that circuit to find the fault, is generally how it goes
Are the apprentices running loose whilst you are doing all the driving around?😂
Busy busy keeping the business going 😀 nah I don’t have apprentices, they work with Brian and haydan the 2 I got
Sorry I missed your live James! Enjoyed this video too ! Just missed the company!
Not to worry ted!
@@finneyelectrical see you next week!
Great video, shame you lost the rest of the material. Was looking forward to how you fed the hobs and double ovens and what size cabling you used etc. Keep smashing it pal 👍
Was a bit of magic to be fair, the board had just been changed a few month ago but used a 2x2 trunking underneath which was rammed, so the only room was to the rhs of the trunking. Had to drill just missing the fuse board down on an angle to underneath the flooring, then up it to a 25mm bit and get the cable through. Couldn’t tell we’d been afterwards 🤯
@finneyelectrical separate 6mm's to the ovens and hob? Or weren't they that big?
@labelectrical yeah was a 6mm there already so just had to extend that and install a new one ☝️
James must be good at 'herding cats' 😮
@@mrt864 haha 😂 like it 🐱
Is it difficult trying to keep three apprentices busy whilst trying to crack on with the job yourself?
@@billybulmer7386 it’s definitely a skill to manage people, I just show them the task and let them crack on and check back in ten min, correct if needed and go again. Best way for them to learn is being explained and having a go
@@finneyelectrical do you not spend most of your time stopping them from messing about and arguing?🤣 Three is quite a lot to handle on your own. I only ever had one apprentice at a time, and I always found it distracting.
Good video mate,dont understand why u dont have more subs,some of my favourite content on sparky YT,from an Irish sparks👍
@@buanobas9122 cheers my guy! It’s tough the CZcams world, the bigger channels get preferential treatment. I’m 2 years behind artisan and Bundy and the market is more saturated so harder to grow. I’m just happy creating content for people however big I get. If you can’t be happy where your at, you will never be happy. Thank you for watching and commenting!

Very evil idiots.
Sorry I missed the live chat on Sunday but it was Prestfest on Friday Saturday Sunday,our yearly music festival with live bands outside and also in most pubs,my wife Carols Rock Choir was singing Saturday on the outside stage and my daughters in one of the pubs,great video James Formby 😂,a wee bit more messy with the lath and plaster,really enjoyable video and that new cable is a game changer for you lads 👌👍
Sounds like great fun Ricky! Bet you had a blast of a weekend seeing the family. Yes makes things easier! Was a good install this when everything goes to plan 😀
Another interesting video 👍 Is Herbie not with you anymore?
@@billybulmer7386 Herbie has done his hours now for college so finished his placement. This guy was work experience lad, had a good week with us
@@finneyelectrical are you going to take him on once he has finished his college?
@billybulmer7386 unfortunately no, he got offended by some site talk with the other trades so he’s not quite cut out for the trade world by the sounds of it. Shame really, put quite a lot into them over a few months
@@finneyelectrical oh dear, I hope he wasn’t bullied. Seen that happen lots of times over the years with young lads. Poor Herbie.
@@billybulmer7386 no quite the opposite, he was very included by everyone and given every opportunity, but he got offended by someone’s opinion on site which you can’t do in the trades. Well you can’t do that in life even, if everyone ran away every time they got offended nothing would get done 😂 I think some of the new generation are very soft, you MUST hear opposing opinions in life even if you have to agree to disagree. It’s what puts your world view to the test and bolsters it, or develops it.

Great video - loved the mirror!😅
@@richardroyle5224 they are great! Also get them built in heater so it doesn’t steam up with the shower on
Its good your software comes up with the 80% Zs valves . I assume you can change it to the max tabulated or 80% as you need it?
Heya yea there’s a drop down at the top, nice bit of kit really 😀 what do you use?
Good description, which software do you use?
adding ciruit resistance to ZE on a eicr is a no no, only on intial verification
Hi when doing R1 R2 you should always disconnect the CPC from the earth bar to eliminate parallel paths 10:51. Particularly in this example as gas hob will have an earth via gas pipe and therefore via ignition lead to to circuit. If you disconnected cooker circuit CPC at cooker isolator and tested as you did you would still get an R1 R2 via gas pipe parallel path. The CPC may be loose in isolator or there may be a poor joint somewhere along the run from the CU ie a round joint box under kicker. Or am I missing something? I enjoy your content - always brave putting anything up on CZcams as people tend to criticise and nit pick. I'm just here to learn and share info, and see how other people do things.
Yeah I thought the same. My understanding was not only are you looking for a low resistance for a high fault current but also that the cpc is continuous throughout its length. Having parallels in place doesn't reveal this, as you said .
Spot on. I thought the same. Finney's a clever guy. He might of done it on purpose to hi light it, n increase comments. Good video though.
Nobody appreciates our efforts or wants to pay for our time either!
Your high Zs could be down to the Fluke. Did you null out the three leads using the Fluke metal adaptor first?
Can you delete me from getting your rubbish vids Plz block me
I really like your video. Regards the insulation test.just wondering why yo are not doing.line neutral to earth. Looping out your line and neutral. To earth.
@@aidanmulvaney9789 so we do line to earth and neutral to earth separately which is the same thing tbf
If you do line neutral to end you can do test across the load.
The spur off the ring main in the consumer unit goes to a switched fused spur first doesnt it? Therefore, you can add as many sockets as you like after that as the cable is protected by the 13amp fuse. I know it is not ideal, but im sure it is within the regs?
@@jamesgrandon4407 that fused spur was for the light above, the other was for some random led strip, wiring in and out was a bit sketchy not being down rated
Top electrician
@@ianmoorcroft3689 cheers!
Nice video as you have a wander lead why do you do R1+R2 it’s a lot easier to just do a R2 and you are checking earth to any metal device at the same time
@@M0PAX so we do both as it’s quicker to r1+r2 and calculate zs than do a live zs test. you have to have the cables out anyway to do the insulation resistance test. So do your percentages on r1+r2 then r2 the rest so anything is covered.

900 lumens is only marginally brighter than most indoor lightbulbs, and 18W isn't bad for an older bit of kit. Dunno what this guy's talking about
@@alexharrison2743 it’s old tech but yes it’s amazing! Most modern lamps are around 400lm so 900 smashes it out of the park! Lew is 5w though
