    🙏 thankyou! Clueless when it comes to electrics. Saved me a phone call to my dad and the inevitable "you should know this at your age" convo.

    Thank you for this wonderful video. Its Bank Holiday so contacting an electrician is out of the question.
    I watched your video, twice and did what you suggested and it worked!
    You have literally saved the life of my koi who without electricity would not have the air pumps running.
    Thank you.

    • @user-yv2cz8oj1k

      Pretty simple, electrical stuff is, that's why they made it a closed shop and brought in certification.

    • @BenjaminGoose
      @BenjaminGoose Před 9 lety +1

      +Lee Gibson Make no mistake, high voltage is extremely dangerous. Flipping an RDC back on might be safe, but anything more involved requires training for obvious reasons.

    • @user-yv2cz8oj1k
      @user-yv2cz8oj1k Před 9 lety

      High voltage, really. That's not high current, my brother works at a power plant. And I picked up enough to be able to troubleshoot electrical systems.

  • @clogalizator621
    @clogalizator621 Před 10 lety

    Thanks for the video...It`s been really helpful.I have a question about the old fuses changing them into new ones,,,The old fuses are rated from 10 A / 16 A / 20 A / 25 A or 35 A. The new tripping fuses are rated 10A or 16 A. The question is " Is the old fuse 16 A = the new fuse 16A?" 10A=10A , 25 A = ??

    What's the little yellow button for?

    • @shakboss3471
      @shakboss3471 Před 7 lety

      to test the RCD, for example it gives a scenarios where the RCD needs to trip out. If it does all is well. If is doesn't, you need to get help from a qualified electrician
