Why do people twist CPC's?

Former Community Member

The latest video from “Doctor Electric” on YouTube has really annoyed me(titled "Best ZS Ever)!

What is it with these YouTube “Sparks” that they think they can just start up a channel and think they're god?

On this video Doctor Electric shows viewers how to twist the CPC's to get a better ZS!! UNBELIEVEABLE!!!

    Why do people twist cpc's?

    With A TOCD to BS EN 60998-4, you have no choice.

     

    Unfamiliar with the acronym or initials I did an Internet search:

    ”TOCD usually manifests as pure compulsions and rituals and does not have the fear element that something bad will happen if the ritual isn't completed.

    These rituals are preceded by a physical sensation rather than an anxiety based thought.”

    Regards the video, I couldn’t face watching all of it so I skipped through to the highlights, first they show you how to test ring continuity at a socket, then how to to twist the CPC’s together making it impossible to do what they just demonstrated. 

     

    Twist-On Connection Device - or SCREWIT ?

    The acronym comes from the standard itself … I've never seen it used elsewhere, but suitable TOCDs are available for use from regular suppliers in the UK … with appropriate regulatory markings and DofCs etc.
