i have 2 screws deep inside window handles the previous owner of the house must have just used a drill and let it run for 10 mins to dethread it that much i'll give this a try :3

Yes as a recently retired industrial electrician who worked in the industry 50 years I have had about 5 times that's once every 10 years so that's not bad considering that I have worked alongside very high voltages , so the best advice I can give any electrician is never to trust anything somebody tells you regarding informing you that a circuit is dead, never beleive anyone even if that person is experienced and well respected, you are at all times your own safety officer to protect yourself and any workmate or the general public , so my advice is to check , double check and when you lock that circuit is locked off don't put the key anywhere but your own person, even an experienced sparks like me who was a foreman on the new Silverstone Forula 1 circuit control building and conference building , we had sub contract testers so in one of the kitchens we had major problems with the supply fluctuating in voltages , so I called for the tester, he went through a series of tests , whilst this was happening he told me that a circuit was dead and like an idiot I took his word for it and proceded to get an electric shock, luckily it was not a shock which affected my muscles in regard of my grip not allowing me to free myself from the flow of electricity it was just one which made contact with the side of my pinky, so please the first commandment is only trust yourself but nobody else, I hope this advice is of some use to young electricians, luckily I'm nearly 70 , you lads need to stay safe so good luck

lesson 7

Domestic installer course is for supervised minor works only. Full scope leccy is for those of us that did a proper apprentiship

They dont tell you that you need to have an nvq3, am2 or 2391 or 2356 in order to join an niceic domestic installer scheme. All about the money.

3rd

Where are the remaining live conductors?

Why you do not recommend to turn off the main switch before smaller circuits

Anyone can tell what is different between output side main switch and incoming tail . Thanks

Oh the Irony of this guy trying to teach us how to extend cables and then shows us using a crimping tool and crimps not designed to be used on solid core cables, when you have to educate the educator it is a sad day. In this particular instance an indent crimper is preferable and suitable crimp to match, stranded or fine stranded are suitable for the crimp tool and crimps he is showing as the wires easily form into the shape the crimp tool creates, a solid wire does not and often creates a poor crimp where the crimp itself is damaged or not formed properly.

Would be nice if there was a video showing how to extend the cables/repair outside of a socket (say a drilled cable) as that's not really covered much :(

Thank you host for sharing your work experience, I hope there will be a translation of traditional Chinese, thank 🙂🙏🙏

Thank you

What is the point of this course no different from a DIY as you still need a sparky don’t waste your money

Would you put brown tape on over the blue for idiots thinking it was a neutral

As mentioned elsewhere needed to explain what double insulation entails. And whether inline crimped connectors need to be in a separate box or can be embedded in a plaster wall like normal cables. It matters aesthetically esp as raising sockets higher in a listed property.

Why do you omit the inclusion of 3 phase circuits in the domestic variant course?

Great vid

Cringed when you stopped the swa with a Stanley knife resting in your thigh.

I don’t have a rubber band

I want to study with you but am from Ghana, how do i apply as an international student

Im conflicted with using butt crimps on solid conductors. They do make a good join if crimped correctly however they’re better suited for stranded conductors. In domestic work it’s probably fine but on ships or aircraft’s for example they could become loose overtime from vibration. Then again these installations probably use stranded cables to allow for movement

Great tip will try this, another way is to use side cutters open them up and bite the head of the screw hold tight and twist worked many times for me

Thank you!

After u fitted the connector you mentioned the cable needs to be doubley insulated? Can you explain what that means please

A happy ending would have been nice why cut it short [forgive the Pun]

Any chance of more training centres opening?

In line crimp connectors is my favorite method. The most sturdy and reliable in my opinion.

More like this please, loved seeing the whole job

Useless video! Where's the results?

Brilliant video, very helpful, would of been interested to see a close up of that last bit with measuring and cutting the conduit allowing for the coupler and bush

It might be good to actually verify that grounds on both terminals are connected to each other. There area some socket models that are not :S

Gonna put a ptz camera on a 30ft scarrold pole. Do i need to earth the camera ??? Cheers :)

Why are there two cables going into the switch-box? Is one cable not sufficient for the two switches?

Thank you for this information ❤

Personally I do not bend bare copper wire over . I have opened wall sockets that have been in use for several years and found the bent wire broken and it just falls out of the terminal hole. Bending the wire back on itself creates a lot of stress on the copper which if it fractures could result in arcing inside the plug point.

Isn't it good practice to bend the wire over?

good vid , 1 question - i qualified via jib apprentaship in 95 236 part 1-2 am2 , i dropped out of the game , 2023 recently i wanted to get back into the electrician game , i opened a ecs account and put my national insurance number in to the ecs site and they confirmed i was eligible for a gold card !! which i got , problem is i dont have any experience in the modern game and dont want to chance it , so i asked a few sparky people if i could go on site as an improver to slowly get back in the game, i was told that esc will strip me of the gold card if i do that , do you have a any info on this situation ?

why there is two cables? is it single phase power supply through 3 Cores cable?

Hi team I'm outside of UK can do this course?

Where did you get that galvanized routing kit? Google doesn't have any results when I search.

Excellent presentation.. the best explanation of the qualification routes I've ever heard.. Thank you..

Thanks now i know i need to put extra 10 mm for 20 mm conduit

Thanks great demo.

We have no idea if that was ‘adequate’. Mixed reviews of the tool online, I was hoping this video might help me decide, alas no.

Hi there, is there a NVQ assessment for Software Developers that i must do to work in the UK?
