Answer to your question: 1667 Ohms is the maximum earth fault loop impedance in a circuit protected by a 30mA RCD, otherwise it won't trip. Though realistically, you should be measure a fraction of this value.
Thanks Cory! It’s now in my shopping basket on Amazon!! I’ll order it on payday 💰. It looks amazing!
Actually, Chester is great on camera, fun, great humour and knowledgeable. Great for the channel Cory! _Hello Chester!_
Chester is awesome. Videos keep getting better quality also. Was a pleasure to watch. 10/10.
Much appreciated! I agree, he’s a total ledge
Another awesome project Cory! Loving Chester as well! Congrats from the USA 🇺🇸
Thanks Hunter! It’s great to have you here 👌
24:00 That pose is worth an award.
Absolute beauty
🤣🤣🤣
Chester is a super star. Every now and then someone springs out from the boring collective of people (I’m leading the boring clan 😂) on CZcams. Chester is that person. Great move all round. Keep going fellas.
Chester is a real jester. Awesome work, great video as per usual Cory!
I like seeing ur work as a business owner, kind of like Ashville but for sparks. Chester is class can’t wait to see more of him 😂
Thanks man!!
Ashville for sparkes quality compliment
Last video i watched was an Ashville weekly, never in a million years thought I'd see a comparison here!
Great video! Chester seems absolutely brilliant! Look forward to future videos with him! ☺️
He is brilliant!!! More to come 😁
@@corymacand hes crackers 😂😂😂 definitely a great addon 😊
You never compromise on your work or clearly on those who you trust with your name/reputation. Keep being you Cory, it’s a pleasure to see your talented work. 💪🏻
You’re too kind, thank you! 🙏
Chester is the Cory hire. This is the same feeling when Artisan hired Cory.
Hello Chester, great addition to the channel, clearly absolutely nuts, fits in a treat, bless him. Well done Cory for learning how to trust a good man. (That sounds wrong on so many levels but uou know what i mean😅)
Looking forward to the next one chaps.👍
Chester is brilliant. That screwdriver-holster move was smooth as f.
It’s a skill passed down through generations
Corey the magic number for a 100ma rcd is 500ohms . 1667 is for a 30ma rcd . You should pursue a sub 100 ohm reading for an earth rod . A stand alone genset requires 20ohms I believe from memory
For a 30ma rcd 200ohm is the magic figure.
Anything above that is regarded as unstable.
@@mainlineelectronics5266 that’s not what the regulations say …
It does however say under; The resistance of the installation earth electrode should be as low as practicable. A value exceeding 200 ohms
may not be stable. Refer to Regulation 542.2.4.
Just noticed that they put table 41.5 in the video 🤣
With a TT system, the potential needed to trip the RCD should be at most 50V. Divide 50V by the RCD rating and you get a maximum impedance (rounded to the nearest ohm) of.
1667 ohms for 30mA
500 ohms for 100mA
167 ohms for 300mA
50 ohms for 1A
Sounds like Chester is going to get to pester you some more 😂
Great video. Chester’s bubbly nature definitely improves it!
Awesome, educational, and entertaining. Doesn’t get better! My favourite channel on CZcams 😁. P.S - welcome Chester!
Thanks! 🙏
Chester has the bubbly energy of a kid's content tv host. Loved it.
you guys are hilarious together glad Chester is going to be on the channel more
I wish I had this channel as an electrical apprentice
There’s a lot more help online nowadays than there used to be 😅
1667. Thanks for the explanation (27:00-ish). I was stuck with the end of the second English-Dutch wars. At least that peace treaty meant I could keep my comments here civil ;-) Cheers from The Netherlands and thanks for the much needed Ohm's law refresher.
Great video! Chester is a great addition to the team.
Really enjoying watching the Chester and Cory show😎
Thanks Nick! You’re welcome back anytime!!
Take a hint from Dave Savery/Nigel ... use a socket on the drill when hammering down the earth rod, it saves the drill slipping off the end of the rod. The attachment you used does the same thing I guess :)
Good idea!
I'm nicking that label inside the consumer unit idea. 👍
Please do!
Nice work mate, looking fwd to seeing the off grid home brew battery install... ive done loads of them.. bloody interesting stuff
Coming next month! Just waiting on one part from China 😁
Enjoyed that film Cory, I reckon it’s onwards and upwards. Best of luck and best of financial rewards for your excellent work. Chris.
Chester is great !!! good contrast to you
Chester the Jester... 😂
It's about time this channel shows us someone that knows what they are doing. 🙄
But seriously, from a low voltage guy in the USA, it is very enlightening to see how it's done over there.
(It is also refreshing to see someone that is entertaining. 😉)
😂😂😂
Love Chester he is great
Fantastic video Chester is a legend
Is Chester ....Martin Short Son??
The Singing & Dancing...slight resemblance
Cue The Three Amigos😅
He's a Good addition
Top Channel Lads 👍
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’ve never seen them in the same room together tbf
😂
He looks and sounds like Dr James Grime from the Computerphile CZcams channel.czcams.com/video/M7kEpw1tn50/video.html
Chester seems a great guy !!!!! Great vibe for Your channel!! Qory You need it 😂😂😂😜😜😜
I agree!!!
My number one electrical channel.
Thanks Ian!!! We’re glad to have you on board ⛴️
Always love it when you drop a new video Cory ❤️👍
We’re here for you my friend!!!
@@corymac thanks Cory 👍 needed the pick me up today as well, just been scammed out of £2.5k on a van deposit yesterday, absolutely gutted 🤦🏻♂️
Love the content with Chester, keep inspiring and entertaining us mate 👍❤️
No!! I’m so sorry, that sucks. How is that possible?
@@corymacit happened because I was a trusting bellend 🔔
Internet advert, bank transfer deposit, balance to be paid on collection, which didn’t happen as the guy was a scumbag scammer and he didn’t have the van…. Feel so incredibly stupid… Broke my own internet buying rules…
In the hands of the bank fraud team now, don’t hold out a lot of hope.
@@corymac last comment got deleted.
I fell for an online van sale scam, paid deposit Saturday, to collect yesterday, everything seemed to check out good and seemed very genuine, then ghosted, turns out the van was never in his possession and his profiles were fake. Feel like such a fool…!! 😭
My plan when I’m qualified in just under a year is to buy my own van and do agency work but I’d also love the opportunity to work with you guys you seem like such a great bunch and the work looks very exciting! Keep it up :)
Where is chesters tester lead gadget from?
Chester is great :) keep up the good work fellas
We need more Chester.... so funny, such a nice Guy.... loved the biscuit bit :)
More to come!
@@corymac look forward to it :)
Mount the uni strut underneath your roof bars. It won’t add any additional height, plus might look nicer.
You can get a bit now with just a long bored out hole to go over the rod for an Sds or sds max
I’ve heard socket bits work well too!!
I have no idea, I work in IT but have an interest in electrical. I did some investigating and I think 1667 is significant because it represents the maximum allowable resistance for an earth electrode measured in ohms. I could be totally wrong and probably made myself look silly but oh well 🤣 Really good video though, very interesting! Such a good label printer as well, I have one of those and tidied up the hand written labels done by the electrician. Looks so much better!
That’s right! It’s so good isn’t it!?! Especially heat shrink tape on data
Nice video Cory.
With Chester now on board can we use the saying
OINKERS ASEMBLE
??
always entertaining glad to see things progressing well
Thanks David! Glad to have you here! 🙏
Yes, it was Jamie Blatant's video on handling SWA that explained many techniques like the snapping of the steels..
I was baiting him out for a comment 😂
@@corymac beat him to it
You guys should consider a collab’
We have already! Check out Episode 31! 😁👌
@@corymac yep, remembered that as soon as I’d written it
Chester is awesome. It's like you're working with Jane Horrocks.
When doing a gland the banjo should be touching the brass of the gland, not on the inside of the enclosure
I used to believe this too, but if you check the manufacturers instructions on most brands, they actually recommend it goes inside!
It's interesting, because we don't really 'import' a ground (earth) in Canada, we essentially always require a ground rod, but in modern code we also require at least two ground rods, spaced an appropriate length apart. Always fun to see the difference approaches.
Don’t you bond to the neutral ?
That’s cool!
@@persona250 we bond ground and neutral at the first disconnect... Usually the main panel/load centre coming into a property... as I understand it, if they didn't do this, current could flow directly to the ground in a fault situation, and it wouldn't trip the breaker.
(we don't bond the ground and neutral at any other point past that... danger, haha)
I think you misunderstand because this isn’t a different approach . Tncs in the uk is neutral earth connected together the same as US neutral ground bond .
@@persona250 It's quite possible I do! I'm not an expert here. I do believe we would be considered TN-C-S as well, although with the caveat that we require a dedicated grounding rod on site (sometimes referred to an Multiple Earthing Neutral, I think).
Anyways, my point was that we require a dedicated grounding rod (or multiple in newer installations) on every residential site. We don't 'import' a ground from the utility, or use a sudo ground of water pipes, etc.
I never knew Joe Lycett was also an electrician he’s hilarious. Keep up the good work lads
Legend!
The 50v limit.....
PoE (Power over ethernet) in data cable runs at max of 48volts (all PoE devices such as access points, VoIP phones etc all run at 48v, or less)
I recall that's also the limit regarding PAT testing equipment that runs above 50v
You've got a great team there Cory, lovin Chester's work, keep the videos coming
More to come! Thanks Mate
Yay 4 Chester!
That is awesome to have someone else on your team now keep the very good work up.
Thanks Barry!!
Chester is to ØY as Cory was to Artisan.
Both great fun, intelligent and just really easy to watch!
Keep it up
I couldn’t agree more. I said the same thing to my wife. I was getting sick of seeing myself on videos. It’s a breath of fresh air, and an extra character injection into the channel 😂. Not to mention, Chester is humble, he is very, very knowledgeable, and happy to share that knowledge here on the channel!
10:49 I can appreciate your pain (au chocolat)!!
Paul Reubens your new employee
😂😂
I would like to welcome Chester to team Cory , a nice addition and a funny bloke..
Thanks!!!
Keep up the good work
Is it possible to have a van tour / setup
Awesome content as always, Cory really enjoying learning, educational goodness , and welcome to the team Chester it’s always great to get more knowledge from different Sparky to improve Thanks Guys ⚡️👊
Thanks Jensen!!! 🤩
Chester is a great addition to the channel, entertaining.
Glad you think so! 😄
Plot twist - Chester is actually an over enthusiastic customer (DIY school A+ grade) who asked for an ØY T-shirt and offered free labour…
Shhh 🤫😳
Someone sounds jealous
@@mrp7555they do dont they 😂😂😂
Jordan. Get back to Epsteins island and make some more redundancies. Pea green 🪼🫛
this adds up actually hahahah
With reference to 4:24, my reading of 7671:2018, A2 is that we don't need to separate earth electrodes from public distribution network in this situation anymore. In the new prosumers chapter 826.1.1.2.1 says "Any connection to the means of earthing derived from the public distribution network need not be disconnected". Of course there may be something else going on in this install that requires it - dunno what inverter you are using and whether it can switch it's own MEN link. Discuss!
Hey Cory, I've been following for a very long time, I really like your videos, there's so much out there that I'd love to get involved in. I'm pretty close to Bournemouth, so if you ever need a hand/labour I'd love to help out for free to gain experience. I'm a domestic installer, but I primarily work on large industrial DC power systems. I'm also a Cisco engineer, fibre splicer, data cabler. I'm free one day a week, so if you ever just someone short notice give me a shout. I'm qualified, fully equipped and insured.
Loving the videos more tech detail always welcomed
Glad you like them! Will keep that in mind, we always aim to be educational 😁
Them Readings go very different at end of summer 👍🏻 but your be sweet 🎉
Too true!
Love the video keep them coming Ref the 100Ma time delayed RCD main switch (any additional overcurrent protection installed for the 25mm SWA cable over 3mtrs ) Is it required ? cheers
Thanks!
Yes! That 80a breaker protects it 😁👌
Well he’s a lovely chap isn’t he?
Yayyy more Chester!!
🥳
Chester and you - the dream team as chester got a youtube channel
Chester hasn’t got a channel ( yet! But who knows for the future ), but he will be working for me, and as such featuring often! 🙂↔️🤩
Chester will absolutely need to get into stand up comedy...
😂😂😂
23:09 I add a clear, adhesive lined shrink over the top as I’ve found that the brother ink can smudge on the heat shrink tape.
Dont you need to disconnect the earthrod from the "PE-bar" to get a right reading and not a parallel reading on the rod?
I was disconnected in the meter box already! 😃
Chester looks good
Great content! You need a hole digging spade in your life :)
Thanks!! I do!!
Awesome video!
Thank you!!!
Chester looks like the boy from fallout "pip boy"
We love Chester ❤
I thought you didn’t need 100ma rcd for TT systems now as long as all circuits are rcd protected and tails are secured
Hi Cory, I expect you are way too busy to reply to this ! but if you do have a minute could you please advise to if you have a change over system from grid /offgrid solar . I have a Solis hybrid and it does have a backup system but no changeover to isolate one from the over avoiding backfeeding ? I have built a backup board with a changeover switch and breakers for the grid and Inverter feeds but not sure the best way to ensure a safe operation. Thanks if you can reply and no worries if you cant , love the channel cheers Neil
1667*0.030 = 50V touch voltage
Where’s that megger probe/clip holder thingymajig from?
I think he got it off Etsy!
Chester the jester
We like Chester!!
is that bit of copper allowed at 23:57 ( the neutrals ) ?
I'm wondering, who does design for all this projects? Do you have a design team, or is it outsourced, or maybe it is not done?
I design everything myself 😃👍🏼
Did you not install surge protection on any of these boards?
He has 3 phase surge protection going into the main switch in the meter box before we fit the batteries 😁👍🏼⚡️
55v Center Taped 110v Transformer 83 mA if my memory is correct.
What rimes with Chester fester
Chester the surge arrestor?
What’s the gadget called that goes on Earth Rod and sds drill please?
earth rod adaptor for sds I think, I've seen armeg ones in wholesalers
Chester is as mad as you Cory, so he will do just fine
Cory, you need to stay in the office, Could Chester all day long 😂🤣😂
+Cory Mac - ØY Electrical
Please consider your TT installations and the case of 100mA time delayed upfront RCD, combined with downstream 30mA RCBOs of the single-pole variety.
Does this configuration, in combination with TT earthing, result in upfront RCD tripping when there is a Neutral-Earth fault on a final circuit?
If not, why not? If so, is the only solution to go to double pole / 4 pole RCDs/RCBOs downstream of the upfront RCD?.
They are all double pole downstream 😄
That makes sense for your nice upmarket installs; however there will be people looking to add solar and offline modes to existing all-RCBO board setups.(with large numbers of Type-a RCBOs, relatively modern, but single-pole).
Thusly; please do discuss the detail and my tripping-question when convenient =).
Yo there who does yer mcs paperwork I hear it’s heavy load of garbage -have u got any speedy software to complete it
Chester = Robert "Robbie" Rotten
🤣🤣🤣
I think Chester should appear a lot more
That’s the plan!
I hope you use a 100ma time delayed rcd.
Watch the video again and see 😅
@@corymacYou said 100ma rcd you didn't mention if it was time delayed.
3:34 You know you can mute the other mic from the receiver attached to your cammera
The trouble is, things are so fast paced ( nothing is scripted ) you never know when you might need that other channel!
@corymac true
Cory, for goodness sake be careful with that springy wire brading as it could catch you in the eyes. Wear eye protection, please!
H&S is the top of my things I’m working on. Thanks for the heads up and reminder!
Why do you look like a giant next to that wall of the second job?
I am a giant
Where’s all the pipe insulation. Unless of course it ain’t filled up and finished
It’s not finished yet 😄👍🏼
chester looks like peewee herman lol
