    Hi. This video is about Wiring a consumer unit. As I've got plenty of time isolating at home I decided to to this video fully animated, I used Adobe Animate and Premiere Pro to put it together. Hope it helps . The most important is to fit all the neutral wires in a correct sections of the neutral bar.
    The Rcd's are a great inventions and I think that every house should have all the circuits protected by them.If you like this video please Subscribe to my Channel for more. Thanks For Watching !

    the idea to remove all the wires and show the cu being wired from scratch is masterful imo, nothing short of genius, u are a brilliant teacher, so few are !

    Oh my god!!!! This is the best video explaining the consumer unit. Thank you so much. You saved me a lot of time and money. Now I know what time of consumer unit I need to buy. Maybe as a follow-up video, it would be great to explain the cable types ...for sockets, for lighting switches, lights, and how to be safe and wire all correctly. I am so happy I found your channel. You explain everything in great detail. Just great. Instant subscribe. I know your videos are hard and time-consuming to edit but you do it like a pro. No bla bla , no fancy talk. Thank you so much.

    @kestutismikutaitis8404 Před 3 lety +2

    Very informative, great video. It won't stop DIYers, general builders touching electrics, its just 3 wires, they can watch several videos and do rewires. How I see - it will bring more work for competent electricians deal with consequences.
    3 things forgot to mention:
    1. Bonding.
    2. Electrical installation certificate.
    3. Fuse box or adding new circuit to fuse box it is part P notifiable work and home owner can be fined thousands of pounds for illegal building work if is not compliant.
