Meaning this video was uploaded 6days ago 🤔
Proper f'd over the gas fitter there lads! Loved the bit where you are debating where to place the board and decided 2mm away from the boiler and underneath the massive damp patch where the pipes have leaked!
Yeah I'm a sparkie and there's no way I'd of mounted that board between pips and a boiler it's against regs any to be that close
@@mikethemask1525 I am sure it’s 25mm from gas pipes and 150mm from gas meter am I right? Could be wrong but when he mounted the db it made me uneasy.
These lads 'think' they are the best. It takes many years of experience to great sparkys. They have no idea sometimes.
Shocking
The boiler guys gona love that consumer unit when they come to do the annual service 😂😂
Cory it’s quite normal to see gas pipes buried in walls. Definitely not against regs. Be careful!
Best youtuber comment "I didn't know people bought tools with money".
Another great video! Is terrific seeing Luke getting into it! Two tips of the day: as others have mentioned Cory - always use a single pair of the Cat 5/6 for CT. Twisted pair are twisted together for the purposes of canceling out electromagnetic interference (EMI) from external sources; for instance, electromagnetic radiation from unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cables, and crosstalk between neighboring pairs. The advantage of twisting is that all wires are equally affected by external influences, so the unwanted signals are canceled out. The role of twisting is to minimize the interferences from external magnetic fields.
I highly recommend getting 4:1 double walled heat shrink. It shrinks great and releases a glue to seal the connection etc.
Love watching and learning from Artisan, even though I've been a sparky for over 30 years myself.
Great video guys, think Corey would make a great teacher/trainer, hes so patient and well spoken. Some interesting jobs shown on your CZcams channel, look forward to seeing the next one 👍 👌
Great job! Nice to see Luke getting some video time as well. Corey you’re a great trainer!
That is great craftsmanship !! I love your work and the pride that goes into it.
Now I'm not a sparky so I'm not trynna pretend to know better than you guys but I use the Knipex electricians scissors to strip the cables outer sheathing and it just works so well . I used to just use a blade like a Stanley knife but ever since I got them scissors I ain't going back .
So close to your 100k subscribers.. your race with Bundy Electrical seems to have almost ended. Congratulations though, live watching your videos, they’re very relaxing to unwind to.
Great show ! Try using the sharp sided blade and not the knife’s point when stripping SWA cable, can easily go between the armoured strands and damaging the cable cores without realizing. (Plus another excuse for acquiring a heat gun to heat outer PVC when performing in cold weather 😉 )
👍👍Great Job...Great Work...Every think is awsme..
I love Artisen Team👏👏👏👏👏
I would be very interested in an explanation on looped supplies and how work including consumer unit upgrades and EV charger installations should be planned and undertaken.
good instal Cory and Luke . breakfast and a watch cant be bad
Great video!
Why you didn’t install SPD in the small consumer unit?
Why not used a metal detector like the Bosch one which also detects live buried cables in a wall before drilling, particularly in the 150 mm zones near the ceiling?
Nothing beats a CZcams notification like a new Artisan upload 🙌🏻
My job is so far from an electrician but I enjoy the videos
13:32 I so wish our cable was that flexible. We have to run 6AWG (16 mm2) or 4AWG (25 mm2) depending on cable run length and both of those cables are extremely rigid, even though they are stranded cables. We have to install 240V 60A breakers with 48A (11.5KW) constant load on the Telsa chargers.
It’s difficult to keep up with the quantity of videos you guys smash out! 👏
Nice and neat work but a Starbreaker RCBO (incorporating Type A RCD) would have satisfied the protection requirements plus a rotary isolator near the charger for the double pole isolation. That would have saved that Hager CU being fitted which as it is anyway does not need the MCB fitted in it as the Starbreaker MCB is already providing the fault and overload protection upstream....could have saved a fiver there chaps and swung past the golden arches to supplement that Toby wrap from earlier 👌
Hi guys absolutely love the content as always always learn something new. I think I’ve been convinced enough that I will give Tradify a go for my business so thank you very much - with your code of course ! Keep up the great content
Great video 😎
Hi, a quick question if i want you to install a EV charger in my drive way, the power cable needs to be trenched under ground from the circuit breaker box located in fthe kitchen inside right into the my driveway??? Do you undertake such jobs??
Nice video 👍 Out of curiosity though, why did you go to the trouble of fitting a new separate consumer unit, instead of just putting an RCBO into the existing board ? 🤔
Probably couldn't find the RCBO that was needed for that board as you have to use same brand as the board or if the board was old it might have been cheaper to add the extra CU than pay for the RCBO.
@@leinwaters94 Yes I’d agree with you if it was an old obsolete board that would be difficult to get an RCBO for, but that was a Crabtree Starbreaker which the RCBOs are readily available for, even Screwfix sell them !
Probably couldn't get a double pole RCBO.
All the mini RCBO's by Crabtree have switched Neutrals, and are type A, thus are ideal for this situation.@@alexkane07
Where you put your Type A RCD makes the boiler warranty invalid as worcester state needs 5mm either side of the casing
What is the cable type that you use for ev charge points. Is this an industry standard?
Question from Australia. Why do you not require mechanical protection for outdoor cabling?
7:50 What's that thing below the drill bit that's against the wall?
Great Content Guys and on your. Question Cory , Who should sponsor you next
Jordan's Skinny Syrups @skinnymixes Caramel pecan syrup. ☕️ 👊
Doesn't using two pairs like that eliminate the point of twisted pair wiring?
Absolutely not, their technique is perfectly acceptable. Twisted pairs reduce the effect of induced common mode currents, but in this instance only one CT is being installed, so there can be no crosstalk. Also any external interference would have to be enormously high to induce a current into the wires and could never be encountered in a domestic situation.
Should have put additional consumer unit to the right side of existing board, a bit close to the boiler and pipes.
I thought the exact same thing. That bell transformer would of been moved straight away 😂
Would it not have saved time to install Jordan's other favourite charger, the Zappi, this has a built it RCD which would have saved that CU?
This would have made more sense
Those boards are the same design idea as the schnider kq and the kq p with a built in neutral so no fly leads
15:40 Maybe it doesn't matter in this application, but generally shouldn't you "mix" pairs for better signal integrity (i.e. positive on stripes and negative on solid or vice versa), as you then are taking advantage of individual pair twist?
Yes - probably won't make that much difference but doesn't hurt to maximise signal integrity.
I was going to jump in and defend Cory until I saw the way that he terminated that Phoenix block. OMG that should come with a trigger warning! :) The number of installs I have been to where a control signal/audio signal etc was not working look at the phoenix going to the device and its terminated like this and the pairs are shoring out because it is not properly terminated like this. Then you end up having to cut it back and doing it properly.
@corey look into some hellerman tyron tubing and a hellerman applicator (Kindly known in the trade as a fannyt stretcher * Sorry * ) Leave a nice tail from the cut jacket, nice bit of hellerman over the cut where you had the great heat shrink. a couple of ferrules to join the brown and brown/white to a nice solid connection then a good 10mm of cable from the cut jacket to the Phoenix block.
RE using the brown pair for + and the blue pair for - this is quite common to double up the pairs when over a long ish distance to stop the voltage drop causing bad comms (saves on repeaters intermediate boxes. ) Ive done this in a pinch for RS232 over about 20 metres, worked brilliantly at around 9600 baud with no data loss. Didn't work using just the single cores but doubling it up saved the day..
@@warrmr I have nothing against doubling up conductors, just was under impression that connecting pair as positive and negative and then doubling it with another pair, may result with better signal integrity.
@@bar10005 I believe you are correct. If the devices are using a balanced signal then the twists in the wire induce the interference on both the + and - lines at the same rate. When it gets to the receiving ent it takes the - signal rotates it 180 degrees out of phase overlays it to the + signal and boom interference is gone. It’s a bit more than that im sure there is a video somewhere about that on CZcams.
There is also the debate on which end of the cable you should ground the shield on. I say the power side of the signal chain eg the transmitter or master device. Not sure what the book says or electrical theory though so I could be wrong.
@Will Woodhall I would suggest following the manufactures recommendations .
If it is a system you are designing you would need to ensure that the voltage drop on the cable using a single pair is still within the acceptable ranges for a high and low signal. eg a +-24v signal may still register a high at +10v and a low at -5v so you have to ensure you are within thresholds at the sensor end without any false triggering by signal noise.
I would always ground the shield at the panel end but im not sure if that is habit or if there is a reason for it, I also prefer to use a single pair where possible rather than doubling up.
did they use blue and white-blue as one wire of the current transformer and braun and white-braun as the other? Wouldn't that defeat the shielding effect of a twisted pair cable...
CT’s do not need twisted pair cables to reduce common mode currents and their impedance is so low it would be inconceivable that induced currents occurred.
Cory, don't bother with the cordless hot air gun. invest in a PORTASOL butane torch.
I would of moved the door bell and stuck the new board were that was. trunking would of slotted nicely over the top
What pocket knife was used to strip the cable ??
???
15:40 you should use ferrules on those thin strands to reduce risk of breakage, especially for solid-core like that
Wish the Hypervolts had a back entry. Would be so much better looking on some installs
They are working on it 👍 I agree it’s the one thing they are lacking really.
I installed my first Hypervolt today. Great apart from that. The job I done could’ve been done with a back entry and it just annoyed me a bit. Could do with some paper instructions instead of online only. Apart from that they are a great bit of kit
I liked the gas gun what type was it
I think it was an Iroda.
If it wasn't, I can recommend the Iroda Solderpro 150. The smaller ones are fine for soldering but the bigger ones are much better (or a bit less painfully slow) for heatshrink.
I have to take the little gas cartridges out between uses as they gradually leak, but mine's been going for years.
Why don't you just put a piece of cardboard or similar underneath plastic trunking etc. cut with the saw or multitool? That way you could easily dispose of most of the plastic splitters produced in the process rather than leaving it spilled on the pavement/lawn/... or having to hover it afterwards.
Thats your observation from this video? Bloody hell mate
Not really sure why you put in a separate board for the EV charger. You can get type A star breaker RCBOs. We use them all the time. Don't think crabtree ever did type AC RCBOs, I've never seen one anyway. Unnecessary cost for your customer there in putting a separate board in. You could have even swapped out the 3 mod RCD for a type A if you wanted to go that route.
mmm bonding on painted pipe . Signs of water leak above. Id investigate that.
Welcome to Artisan Luke 😎
Do you have to have the data cable for an ev charger install?
Totally depends on the charger. I've installed the Tesla charger and it's not needed for that.
It has to be a smart charger for the grant. So either wired or WiFi
@@eddiewism I thought it was for the CT’s so they can track the ramping or the amperage, so the car doesn’t explode as such..🤷🏻♂️
@@Dibbo1979 it is for the CT in this case your right. Must connect via WiFi. But that's still required for the grant. The CT is part of the bit that makes it smart.
@@eddiewism cheers mate👍🏻
so weres the link to the cool watch then lol
How come you didn't grab a Starbreaker RCBO? They're type A and DP. I know the board would ideally be non-combustible
Can't believe no one's commented on the cable run. Right across the bt ducting. Very poor
type A starbreaker rcbo ??
Lots of gas pipes burried in walls - not against regs.
I know there's some controversy over the subject, but might have looked neater to have gone into the meter box and split the tails, to avoid that run up the wall.
If the DNO come out and demand it's shifted you'll be doing it at your cost and embarrassment.
@@Blackf1ngers Has this ever happenned?
@@mikeselectricstuff no.....never
Well they do seem to be keen to stake their territory at the moment. To be honest we're still putting little DBs in the meter box if there's room. We just have a guideline to not crowd DNO or metering gear which seems reasonable. But there was an Efixx video recently about this and they say they have a right to demand anything they don't want is removed.
What sort of cable are you feeding charge point with, not swa?
This is piddley shit but I've got to get you somewhere ha....if you use a normal pz2 plus and minus, whatever they are called. ..the mcb screwdriver to make the connections then go over it after to torque it up, how do you know that you didn't over tighten it in the first place...the torque screwdriver would just click....this goes out to 90% of you tube sparks btw.....I am not having a go....no ones perfect 😛
Paid extra ide want boot lace on the cable
It's not fine stranded flex!
Definitely got the CT wiring wrong! They are twisted for a reason! Use one twisted pair for one CT not two different pairs for only one CT! you will get interference and wrong readings the way you have wired this one!
They definitely got the CT wiring correct, there is only one CT being installed and there can be no common mode currents induced in the cable run as the inductive impedance will be so low. Plus using two twisted pairs will lead to increased CT reading accuracy which is always desirable. It’s good to see the Chaps understand their electrical engineering theory.
Any electrician can do this
Is mate a mate for the 100th time?
Is luke a nate or spark?
Dang I'm early 😅
Just curious, Not trolling. Is Luke not a qualified spark? Seem to be showing him very basic things and he doesnt really look like an apprentice.
Yuk. Should have gone for a tesla charger!!
Because Tesla chargers are very poor spec for the cost. They look nice but that's all they have going for them.
So whats the premium your customers are paying for over your competitors jordan? The fact you use a bit of heat shrink !! Turn it in fellas most sparks work at this standard your not recreating the wheel here its an armoured cable man piece of piss
Have you seen the standard of some sparks work? 😂
The question stands what you paying for as a premium
It was EV ultra cable was it not? I agree, he was begging it up a bit though.
@@BULLEAD
Yep same gig its not a big deal is it
Im sure the client appreciatetes the team having a carvery ! Believe me iv worked on rewire teams we rewired 3 bed houses in 8 hours, and tenants back in! Now thats value for money
@@ericthekingthekingtheking4842 Bloody hell! I'd be more reassured if it took 8 days not 8 hours!
Another sponsored channel and a advertisement channel very food motivated always eating less food more work
Normally love the videos but the way Corey butchered that enclosure and putting 50x50 behind what looks like the flow and return isn’t premium service in my eyes. 👎👎
I’d beg to differ. Not ideal but totally a professional way of doing it and we don’t know the full details of the job from a 20 minute clip or even what the customer wanted. Besides does Corey do the materials order and quotes?
Id imagine he’s working within the scope of a job spec same as all the lads
