Consumer Unit Change Video. Nice.

Zoomup
I liked this video because it is well filmed, has no loud music, and the sparks is very pleasant and explains things well. With plastic conduit I cheat and use manufactured elbows and bends sometimes because they save time and are very consistent and neat. What do you think?

    John Peckham:

    It would appear the installation was put in to service without main protective bonding see Regulation 641.1. But the bonding was installed the next day so that's alright then?

     




     

    I thought that at first John, looked again and it seems he reconnected the old bonding to the gas overnight. Then upgraded it and added the water bond the next day. There were a few pipes in the old cylinder cupboard which also dive into the floor, I assume flow, return and hot water which could introduce earth potential and might have needed to be bonded.

    Dead tests were done before the old board was removed apparently  "gonna do some tests on these rings and stuff, see if they got continuity and stuff".

    edit; Although we suspect the installation was energised overnight and the clients were home, we don't know that for sure. Indeed the fact that the RCD tripping occurred the next day suggests it wasn't energised overnight.
