In this video, Chris Horne returns to explore the thermal effects of electric current, demonstrating how excessive current can cause a fuse wire to melt and break a circuit. Using a variable power supply, multi-meter, LED strip, and a 500mA glass fuse, Chris gradually increases the voltage, showing how the current rises and eventually triggers the thermal effect that protects the circuit. The video explains how fuse wires heat up and melt when overloaded, preventing damage, and highlights the advantages of enclosing the fuse in a glass tube for more precise operation. This hands-on demo is perfect for both students and lecturers looking to understand circuit protection and the behaviour of electrical components. 00:00 Thermal effects of electricity 00:31 Can we melt the fuse 01:17 Voltage range 02:36 LED are on 03:07 Fuse wire melts #scienceandtechnology #electricalinstallation #makinglearningfun

If you need to install a consumer unit over 3 meters away from the origin of an installation you'll need to protect the tails. This can usually be done by means of providing a fuse for overload and fault protection. However in doing this an interesting question arises: What about selectivity? How do you make sure that you stay compliant with the regs on all fronts? Is it even possible? Joe Robinson answers these and other questions to do with protecting meter tails and selectivity and some of the answers may surprise you.

In this video, the Gaz and Chris attempt to power a Casio calculator using lemons. The calculator isn’t working due to lack of batteries, so they create a battery using lemons, zinc, and copper nails as electrodes. The citric acid in the lemons acts as an electrolyte. They demonstrate that one lemon produces about 0.9 volts, and since the calculator needs around 3 volts, they connect three lemons in series to increase the voltage. After reaching 2.7 volts, they replace the original battery setup with the lemon circuit, successfully powering the calculator. The video explains basic electrical principles like series connections and how the electrodes interact with the electrolyte to generate voltage. They also experiment with cutting a lemon in half, discussing whether this would reduce the voltage, and surprisingly, it doesn’t halve it as expected. The demonstration offers a fun, educational way to explore alternative power sources using common household items like lemons. 00:00 - Make electrical science fun 00:22 - Voltage required 00:45 - Nails in lemons 01:34 - Dad jokes 02:15 - Series or parallel 02:51 - Jump leads 03:20 - Check the voltage 03:49 - Will it work? 04:08 - Maths 04:46 - Half a lemon #scienceandtechnology #electricalinstallation #makinglearningfun

More powerful motors will have larger inrush currents and so it becomes really important to reduce the amount of inrush current that they naturally create. A very common way of doing this is to use a Star Delta Starter, this clever piece of control equipment uses the natural differences between Star and Delta connected loads to reduce the amount of current that flows into a motor when it starts. In this video Joe Robinson explains how this type of starter works, what's inside it and exactly how it reduces inrush current.

Charging an electric vehicle (EV) while on the go can be challenging. Drivers must choose a charging network, ensure they have the correct app installed on their phone, and set up payment details, which can feel overwhelming. Fortunately, the government has stepped in to streamline this process by requiring that chargers be equipped with contactless payment terminals, eliminating the need for apps or network memberships. Additionally, all public charge points must provide a free 24/7 helpline for users. While these changes greatly benefit end users, they present challenges for charge point operators and electricians. To address this, we have partnered with EV Tower, Clenergy, and Crane Payment Innovations to demonstrate how to integrate a payment solution into any EV charger, ensuring compliance with the Smart Charge Point Regulations 2023.

This SunSynk 3.6kW hybrid inverter has a hidden feature that could save you hundreds of pounds, often overlooked or misunderstood by installers. In this video, Gordon demonstrates how to unlock its potential. First, let’s revisit how a solar inverter works. A conventional inverter converts DC power from solar panels into AC power for household use or to feed back to the grid. A hybrid inverter, however, adds battery storage, allowing surplus energy to be stored and used later or exported during peak electricity prices. This inverter goes a step further with a built-in function that eliminates the need for a costly energy diverter. Using the auxiliary load feature, it repurposes surplus energy to heat water with an immersion heater, saving on gas heating costs.

There are so many things out there that are trying to degrade, damage or destroy your electrical wiring systems, especially the containment that keeps all your conductors in place and safe. If you install cable tray, trunking or conduit made out of the wrong material it can lead to a seriously dangerous situation. So how do you choose the correct material for the environment that it's going to be installed into? Will it be steel, PVC, ABS, aluminium or GRP? What kind of coating will help? Are there problems with different materials touching each other? It can be immensely confusing to select the right material. There's help available from industry publications and manufacturers including @MarshallTufflex which we've condensed into this video so you don't need to worry about getting it right.

Battery storage plays a crucial role in driving the renewables revolution and achieving a net zero future. It offers a versatile solution to various power network challenges, from storing renewable energy to providing demand and frequency response. Whether deployed at the grid level or in consumer installations, battery storage helps reduce peak power demand and avoids the necessity for power grid upgrades. Not all battery storage solutions are equal, as demonstrated in this video. Ampace has developed innovative technology that sets the new UniC C5 range apart from traditional systems. By eliminating the need for liquid or air conditioner-based cooling systems, this technology enables the battery storage to operate efficiently across a wider temperature range, leading to extended service life and reduced costs.

A DOL starter has the advantage of being able to provide simple, local, adjustable overload protection to a motor. But what are the other advantages of using one and how can it help us to comply with the wiring regulations? In this video Joe Robinson explains how the internal wiring of a DOL starter can achieve a circuit that latches the motor on but will also leave it in a safe condition if the motor loses power and then gets re-energised.

Balcony solar or DIY solar is a mega trend sweeping across Germany's solar industry. This phenomenon caught my attention during my visit to The Smarter E in Munich, Europe’s largest renewables event. The concept is straightforward for apartment dwellers: you simply hang a few solar panels over your balcony, connect them to a small solar inverter, and plug them into a nearby power outlet. This allows you to use free solar energy to reduce your energy bills. Similar to larger installations, you can incorporate battery storage to store energy during the day and offset power drawn from the grid during expensive peak times. Advanced systems can also be paired with wireless metering to maximize self-consumption rather than exporting excess power back to the grid. These systems usually consist of 2-4 solar panels, generating around 1 to 2 kilowatts peak. One unique aspect of this concept, which may seem strange to electricians, is that you are sending power back into a power outlet. This initially suggests that the plug’s pins are live when the inverter is powered up. However, balcony solar inverters are designed to activate only when a mains voltage connection is detected, ensuring that mains voltage never appears on the exposed pins. In Germany, regulations cover this application, limiting the maximum power injected back into a socket outlet to 800 watts. Since many apartments are rented rather than owned, tenants can add solar without interfering with the building’s fixed wiring. If you decide to move, your solar PV system can be easily relocated. In the UK, these systems aren’t permitted due to regulatory issues related to connecting parallel generation back to the electricity grid.

PIR detectors offer a smart solution for energy conservation in lighting, as the most efficient lights are the ones not in use. Yet, installing sensors on the ceiling in homes can pose challenges due to their size and cost. Collingwood has addressed this issue with the innovative H2 Sense - an LED downlight with a built-in PIR sensor. Perfect for bathrooms and corridors where lights are often left on, this solution not only cuts energy costs but also eliminates the need for electricians to install light switch wiring.

Calculating the maximum demand of a single circuit is pretty straightforward, figuring out maximum demand for an entire installation is very tricky. Even the official guidelines from industry bodies state that it's difficult to find maximum demand accurately. This might be the reason why when you follow the official guidance you sometimes get a really high figure. In this video Joe Robinson discusses some of the problems with calculating maximum demand and shows how different approaches can give you different values for the same installation.

Most solar panel installations in the UK have an export or generation meter fitted alongside the solar inverter. This requirement was mandatory when most PV installations were governed by the FIT or Feed-in Tariff. However, since the FIT tariff is no longer applicable, a question arises whether an export meter is still necessary or not? This video will discuss the metering requirements outlined in the latest IET Code of Practice for Solar Photovoltaic Installations and the MCS Solar guide. ======================================================= IET Code of Practice for Solar Photovoltaic Installations - 2nd Edition http://hub.efixx.co.uk/IET-COP_PV MCS Solar installation Standard V5.0 http://hub.efixx.co.uk/MCS-Solar-V5 ======================================================= 00:00 Do you need an export or generation meter? 00:29 Feed-in tariff solar installations with MID meter 01:20 Smart meters 01:58 IET Code of Practice - Guidance 03:12 Alternative using to using a meter 03:55 MID meter with communication 04:20 Existing solar installation with FIT meter 04:56 What do the MCS standards require? 06:32 Or otherwise? 07:01 What we think. ======================================================= #solarpanelinstallation #metering #electricalinstallation

Having laid the foundations for designing an electrical circuit in the previous video in this series we're now going to start crunching numbers by figuring out how to calculate design current. Why is design current so important, where do we get the values for figuring it out from and why don't we use the exact same symbols we learnt in our science lessons? Heat is both the result and the enemy of electrical installation and in this video we start to explore just how to make sure that heat doesn't become a problem, so that your installations stay safe for years after you're finished. Take a dive with Joe into the exciting world of electrical design in this series of videos that will help you if you're just starting out in this area at college or work.

When choosing an electric vehicle (EV) charger, several important factors must be considered. It's crucial for electricians to select a unit that is easy to install and set up. Additionally, they need a charger that addresses any existing electrical installation issues. The Wallbox Pulsar Pro not only meets these needs but also looks ahead. Future-proofing EV charger installations are essential, especially when owners may need to charge two or more electric vehicles at home in the future. It's important to consider future energy needs, such as adding solar panels and handling legacy installation issues like looped electrical supplies. In this video, Joe Hammond demonstrates his installation of the Wallbox Pro and showcases how it effectively tackles these challenges.

Solar panel installations have a long lifespan, but they do require maintenance over time. After 12 years of operation, this large solar PV installation is due for refresh. The existing inverters are nearing the end of their useful life, some wiring faults that have arisen, and the solar generation output has started to decline. Gordon Routledge joins Griff Thomas, the MD of GTEC Training, on the roof to investigate the rewiring of the solar modules, the installation of Solar Edge optimizers, and the addition of a new battery storage system.

The last piece of the puzzle in this underfloor wiring system from @MarshallTufflex is the socket outlets that go on or under desks. They come in different styles with different variations but the common thing you'll find in all of them are the seemingly undersized fuses that protect the sockets.

This meant that when purchasing a brand-new light, television, or kettle, the task of wiring a suitable 13A UK plug with the correct fuse would fall upon the buyer. The BS1363A or Type G plug is also used across Ireland, Malaysia, UAE, Cyprus, Malta and Hong Kong. In this tutorial, we take you through the essential steps of correctly wiring a BS1363 13A plug, including some top tips that even some electricians don't know! ================================================ 00:00 How to fit a UK 13A Plug - BS1363A - type G 00:25 Different types of plug 00:40 The tools you'll need 01:05 Top Tip - Plug wiring instructions 01:25 Remove the plug cover and loosen the cord grip 01:50 Removing the outer cable sheath 02:18 Cut wires to suit plug and wiring template 02:44 Loosen screw terminals 03:01 Strip conductor insulation 03:26 Top Tip 03:33 Connecting the wires - Live, Neutral & Earth 04:39 Tighten and check the cord grip 05:00 Check the fuse rating 05:25 That's a wrap from Ai Joe ============================================== Featured in this video Permaplug BS1363 13A Plug (also available in white & orange) https://amzn.to/45pQtqw Knipex Ergostrip https://amzn.to/3ZSoY8e Wago Quickstrip Vario https://amzn.to/3rCZwH9 ================================================ #electrical #plug #wiring

In this video, we discuss XLPE insulation, and how it provides a higher operating temperature of 90°C compared to PVC, which has an operating temperature of 70°C. Electricity running through a conductor causes heat, and the more current flowing through it, the hotter it gets. Because electricity is dangerous, we cover our conductors with insulation - made from various materials such as PVC, XLPE, silicon, and even minerals like magnesium oxide. However, these insulators have their limits and start to degrade or melt when subjected to temperatures beyond a certain point. For instance, PVC starts melting at temperatures higher than 70°C, while XLPE can withstand up to 90°C. In this video, you will learn the uses for XLPE cable, the importance of ensuring that your electrical equipment is rated to operate at the same temperature as your installed cable and a method to make use of the extra current carrying capacity of 90°C cable to save you money. Reviewed - the Wago Quickstrip Vario 👉 https://youtu.be/37SaVSdicFU ================================ Time Stamps ⏱ 00:00 Where can you use 90°C insulated cable 00:47 Lets refresh ourselves on the basics 01:51 Where do you come across XLPE? 02:00 information on how much current 90°C insulated cables can handle. 03:42 Max operating temperatures also apply to conductors in switchgear and wiring accessories 04:46 You have to check if the electrical equipment you're connecting to is rated at the same temperature 05:28 The 70°C Limit is met if the live conductor size is chosen based on the current rating for 70°C cables of similar construction 06:15 We can make use of the extra current carrying capacity of 90°C cable 07:10 This can be a cheaper installation option ================================ #cables #electricians #electricalinstallation

Octopus Energy has sent shockwaves through the UK renewables industry. The company has announced that it will accept solar installations onto its Smart Export Guarantee tariffs without MCS accreditation. This represents a significant development for electricians and homeowners, as they can now sell their excess energy back to the grid at a very competitive rate. To shed more light on this topic, we turned to Griff Thomas, one of Britain's leading renewables experts. Griff explains what the MCS scheme is and how it applies to solar installations. He delves into the scheme's origins and how it was initially set up by the government to underpin early grants and funding for renewable technologies. He also explains how it became a quality requirement for government incentive schemes such as the Renewable Heat Incentive, the FIT legislation, and the Smart Export Guarantee. Griff then discusses the latest development in the industry, which is the announcement made by Octopus Energy.

We found them very useful for cutting everything from thick tri-rated cables to LED strips. They are also great for trimming conductors, tapes and data cables. Included in the new angled design handle is a ferrule crimping tool. =AD ================================ Knipex Electricians Shears (scissors) - Check price and availability 👉 http://hub.efixx.co.uk/knipex-shears ==================================== Part Number Knipex 95 05 20 SB Also used in this review is the Knipex Ergostrip 👉 https://youtu.be/nzivUmsTNRU ==================================== 00:00 Electricians Shears or Electricians Scissors from Knipex 00:20 The new version 00:44 Great for cutting LED strip and tape 01:14 Neat label trimming 01:44 Includes a hidden tool - ferrule crimper 02:13 Cut and ferrule RCBO leads 03:00 Ergonomic angled design 03:32 Lanyard or Knipex tethered system 03:55 Braided flexible cables 04:15 Data cables 05:04 Cutting flexible conduit 05:30 Trimming ferruled cables 06:04 Grey hair removal 06:20 Not a replacement for cable shears ======================================= Subscribe to the channel to discover more great electricians' tools, tech and new products: 👉 http://hub.efixx.co.uk/youtube-subscribe =================================== Follow us on your other favourite social channels. 👉 http://hub.efixx.co.uk/follow-us =================================== Join us LIVE on eFIXX TV - just like Top Gear for electricians 👉 http://hub.efixx.co.uk/tune-in-to-eFIXX-TV =================================== eFIXX is powered by YOU!

The dual-action SACS cable tool scores the armour of SWA cables and removes the outer sheath in one tool. With an increasing number of construction sites banning the use of knives, electricians need a reliable way to strip steel-wired armoured cables, and we think we've found it. The SACS tool or Steel Armoured Cable Stripper works like a pipe cutter to score the strands of the steel armour. Then you can turn the tool ninety degrees to split the outer cable sheath. We were surprised at how well it works even on smaller-diameter SWA cables. An alternative to the CK Armour Slice. We used this stripper during our three-phase EV charger install series using Doncaster Cables EV Ultra Cable. 👉 https://youtu.be/U3wR1VNO_Sg == AD ============================== Check price and availability via Ebay (cheapest we could find) 👉 http://hub.efixx.co.uk/sacs-tool ==================================== ====================== 🕐 TIME STAMPS 🕕 ====================== 00:00 SACS Steel Armoured Cable Stripper 00:14 SACS tool 00:42 Cable joint 01:04 Doncaster Cables EV Ultra cable 01:30 Twist, then tighten 02:03 Can be used to remove the outer PVC 03:32 Ready for a cable gland 03:49 Great on small SWA cables 05:43 Cuts PVC conduit 06:10 Cuts copper pipe =========================== Subscribe to the channel to discover more great electricians' tools, tech and new products: 👉 http://hub.efixx.co.uk/youtube-subscribe =================================== Follow us on your other favourite social channels. 👉 http://hub.efixx.co.uk/follow-us =================================== Join us LIVE on eFIXX TV - just like Top Gear for electricians 👉 http://hub.efixx.co.uk/tune-in-to-eFIXX-TV =================================== eFIXX is powered by YOU!

BS7671UK wiring regulations define prescribed zones (cable zones) to run cables within walls to avoid this situation. Installing cables in these locations reduces the risk that someone will drill through or hammer a nail into a hidden cable. Even if you aren't an electrician understanding the prescribed areas in which cables could be located will reduce the chances of damaging a hidden cable. In this video, we explore why prescribed zones aren't "safe" zones, the requirements for RCD protection and other options to protect cables buried within walls.

REVIEWED: The Makita DKT360Z is a battery-powered kettle. Should you buy one or choose the Builders Tea Box instead? In our Makita Kettle review, we take a look at the key features and the all-important question how long does it take to boil water using batteries? The Makita cordless kettle uses two Makita LXT batteries to power what is a 720-watt kettle. As with more and more power tools, the kettle is supplied as "body only", which means it doesn't come with a charger or batteries. This is fine if you are a Makita user but an expensive option if you are new to Makita power tools. Up against the Makita Kettle is the Builders Tea Box, a full kit with a 600-watt kettle, cups, teaspoon, storage cup and even a towel. ====================================== 00:00 Makita Kettle - vs - Builders Tea Box 00:28 How long does it take to boil a cup of water? 04:40 Steaming! 05:02 How long does it take to boil a full kettle - 800ml 05:30 Battery charge indicators 05:59 Builders Tea Box 07:20 Truckers Tea Box 09:04 Makita Kettle features - Safety tilt switch 09:20 Spout lock - it dribbles 09:50 Lid lock and filter 10:12 Body cool to touch 10:40 Charging batteries 13:00 Full kettle boiled 13:30 Battery boiling capacity ======================================== == AD=================================== Check Price and availability 👉 Makita Cordless Kettle DKT360Z - https://amzn.to/3PURJun 👉 Builders Tea Box - https://amzn.to/3Kn60ie 👉 Truckers Tea Box - https://amzn.to/3Kp5Kix Book Choice 👉 Beautiful Light - https://amzn.to/3RjfTzP ======================================== Subscribe to the channel to discover more great electricians tools: 👉 http://hub.efixx.co.uk/youtube-subscribe =================================== Follow us on your other favourite social channels. 👉 http://hub.efixx.co.uk/follow-us =================================== Join us LIVE on eFIXX TV - just like Top Gear for electricians 👉 http://hub.efixx.co.uk/tune-in-to-eFIXX-TV =================================== eFIXX is powered by you! - get involved in the channel 👉http://hub.efixx.co.uk/get-involved ==================================== 📻 Tune in to the latest electrical industry news podcast http://hub.efixx.co.uk/electricalnewsweekly ==================================== #efixx #makitatools #tea

Is it worth the risk of an electric shock or fire to avoid taking travel adaptors on holiday? Hotels are installing universal electrical socket outlets (or receptacles if you're tuning in from the USA). These universal sockets look similar to British Standard BS1363 sockets. However, with universal sockets, you can insert almost any plug the world offers. After the plug on a hair dryer melted, Gordon Routledge put down his Pina Colada and headed off to the local market to discover the problems. We purchased a Legrand universal socket outlet and a version from Keffy. Neither socket outlet has any instructions of warnings about the potential for electric shock. ======================================== 00:00 Dangerous holiday hotel electrics 00:19 A trip to the market to buy a socket 00:50 Locals don't bother with plugs 01:25 Where would we be without electrical standards - Mauritius (and other places) 01:59 The real reason the UK left the EU 02:33 Universal electrical socket outlets 03:00 Electric Shock Risk 1 - Exposed live parts 04:10 Electric Shock Risk 2 - No earth connection 06:10 Fire Risk - Poor connection 06:30 Breaking news from Unilight 06:55 Inside a universal socket outlet - Keffy 10:00 Poor connections 10:50 The Legrand version 11:40 Look away, now Gary's got shorts on! =========================================== Subscribe to the channel to discover more great electricians tools: 👉 http://hub.efixx.co.uk/youtube-subscribe =================================== Follow us on your other favourite social channels. 👉 http://hub.efixx.co.uk/follow-us =================================== Join us LIVE on eFIXX TV - just like Top Gear for electricians 👉 http://hub.efixx.co.uk/tune-in-to-eFI... =================================== eFIXX is powered by you! - get involved in the channel 👉http://hub.efixx.co.uk/get-involved ==================================== 📻 Tune in to the latest electrical industry news podcast http://hub.efixx.co.uk/electricalnews... ==================================== #efixx #sockets #electrical

The zinc finish commonly used in electrical containment can cause major issues within clean rooms and data centres. Small whiskers of zinc can form the surface of metal conduits, trunking and accessories. These zinc or tin whiskers can detach from the surface and cause short circuits within computer servers in data centres or contaminate processes in pharmaceutical plants.

Electric vehicles are really just batteries with wheels. The batteries contained in electric cars can be used to provide power back to the power grid during peak demand hours. Technology is known as vehicle to grid or V2G. This sounds crazy, but it's already a reality in a large-scale trial called Powerloop. We visit Claire Miller of Octopus Energy to learn about Vehicle to Grid V2G technology. Claire has been using V2G with a Nissan Leaf and a Quasar V2G charger from Wallbox. We discover how the system works and why would a customer choose to give electricity they've purchased back to the national grid? ======================================== 00:00 Electric cars are really batteries with wheels 00:50 Vehicle to Grid technology V2G - Claire Miller - Octopus Energy 01:50 An alternative to fossil fuels - maximise renewables 03:15 What is the incentive for EV drivers? 04:19 Renewable energy storage and electricity tariffs 06:10 Powerloop V2G project 07:46 Chademo vs CCS ISO15118 for Vehicle to Grid 08:50 Wallbox Quasar DC to AC power conversion 09:50 An extension of Vehicle to Load technology V2L 11:00 Are electric cars a better solution than a home battery? 12:20 Does V2G degrade EV batteries faster? 14:00 Combining V2G with Solar and G99 DNO application 16:10 G100 agreements and limits 18:20 Distribution Service Operators - DNO to DSO 19:00 DNOs' thinking about customers 20:00 Is V2G the future? ========================================== Keep updated with the latest electrical industry news 👉 http://hub.efixx.co.uk/electricalnewsweekly ========================================== Looking for more home energy content - check out our new channel 👉 http://hub.efixx.co.uk/energy-subscribe ==========================================

The Glasgow switch fuse is a classic of British electrical engineering. Originally manufactured by MEM (Midland Electrical Manufacturing) and now produced by Eaton the Glasgow has been powering the UK industry for decades. If this video we show how to convert this switchgear classic to a wireless version using a Philps Hue Wall Switch Module. Once converted this massive switch can be used to control Philips Hue lights and trigger scenes. Who wouldn't want one of these to control a man cave, home bar or games room? The Philips Hue Wall switch module was originally designed to prevent light switches from interrupting the power to smart lamps. We've repurposed the device to convert any switch.

The Wiska consumer unit relocation kit is a junction box designed to make moving a fuse box or consumer unit simple. The unit comprises a Wiska 818 junction box, and Wago Top Job S Din rails terminals. Electricians often need to relocate an existing fuse board to a new location within a house. The new consumer unit may need a larger area, or a house may be having major alterations. Either way, the existing fuse board location won't work, meaning existing cables need to be extended. With this Wiska kit, the easily identifiable Wago screwless din rail terminals make wiring alterations safe and easy. In this video, we share out tips for consumer unit relocation and how we use the Wiska Consumer Unit Relocation Kit. 😀 Remember, Wago Topjob is pronounced Vargo Topjob == AD ============================ More information Wiska 818 Consumer Unit relocation kit http://hub.efixx.co.uk/wiska-818 ================================== ============================================= 🕐 TIME STAMPS 🕕 00:00 Consumer unit relocations 01:30 Identifying cables and conductors 04:30 Removing old consumer unit 05:12 Wiska Consumer unit relocation junction box 07:00 Cable entry positions 08:00 Cutting rear entry with multi-tool 09:00 Mounting the junction box 11:23 Current ratings and conductor sizes 12:02 Connecting into a Wago TOPJOB 12:37 Removing a conductor from a Wago TOPJOB 13:25 Number identification..? 14:10 What to do with the bonding conductors 15:16 Outgoing circuits 16:31 Circuit chart & identification ============================================ ================================ ================================ 📍SUBSCRIBE TO THE CHANNEL eFIXX helps electricians, electrical contractors, building services engineers, and electrical apprentices.

How tight your make your electrical connections can have a dramatic effect on their resistance. Higher resistance translates into more power dissipating within the connection as electrical current increases. Manufacturers of electrical equipment often specify a recommended torque value. What happens when you don't achieve this value or exceeded it.

Electricians often ask this question but struggle to find an answer. Joe Robinson delves deep into the UK wiring regulations BS7671 to find out more. Electricians often need to extend existing circuits to install a new consumer unit or make an addition to a circuit. Placing connectors inside trunking would seem a logical approach in many installations. However, what are the risks and does it matter if the trunking is plastic or metal? ============================== Check out the full review of the Wago 221 Inline https://youtu.be/r7KW2QOfpN8 ================================ 🔦 More electrical Q&A videos from eFIXX 👉 https://www.efixx.co.uk/electricians-questions ================================ 🆕 FREE CPD Learn about new applications, regulations and best practices with our FREE CPD modules. - New modules are released every month, covering everything from surge protection to lighting. 👉http://hub.efixx.co.uk/CPD​ ================================ 📍SUBSCRIBE TO THE CHANNEL eFIXX helps electricians, electrical contractors, building services engineers, and electrical apprentices.

The UK wiring regulations are very specific when it comes to choosing RCD protection for electric vehicle charge points. Most electricians know about the need to avoid type AC RCDs. However, hidden within the regulations is the need for RCDs which isolate all live conductors. This is easy when selecting a regular RCD but causes some challenges when choosing to protect a circuit with an RCBO. An RCBO is a combination of RCD and MCB circuit protection. Most RCBOs only disconnect the line conductor. In this video, we explain the RCD requirements of BS7671 and the difference between single, double and single pole and switched neutral RCBOs. ================================ 00:00 Do you need to fit double pole RCD's for EV chargers? 00:36 What do the UK wiring regulations say? 01:00 What is a live conductor? 01:50 easier with split local RCD boards 2:15 RCBO identification using diagrams 3:44 Double Pole RCB with switched neutral 4:30 Double pole or switch neutral what is the difference? ================================= ================================ 🔦 More electrical Q&A videos from eFIXX 👉 https://www.efixx.co.uk/electricians-questions ================================ 🆕 FREE CPD Learn about new applications, regulations and best practices with our FREE CPD modules. - New modules are released every month, covering everything from surge protection to lighting. 👉http://hub.efixx.co.uk/CPD​ ================================ 📍SUBSCRIBE TO THE CHANNEL eFIXX helps electricians, electrical contractors, building services engineers, and electrical apprentices.

Long before LEDs came along, the 2D light fitting was the workhorse of stairwells and service corridors. Changing a 2D to LED is a no-brainer with energy prices increasing. The Robus Golf range of surface LED fittings is ideal for this type of application. The latest modular version allows electricians to configure the fitting to almost any variant, including colour temperature, emergency and occupancy control. This video shows you how easy it is to take the new Robus Golf Modular and easily add a microwave, emergency operation, or both. The plug and play modules reduce the number of stock items needed to cater for almost any lighting energy upgrade or new installation project. == AD ================ More information on the Robus Golf Range and new modular version http://hub.efixx.co.uk/robus-golf-led ====================== 🕐 TIME STAMPS 🕕 ====================== 00:00 Robus Golf LED range 00:24 Surface-mounted light fitting applications 00:58 Conduit mounting options 01:42 Selectable colour and power options 03:08 Emergence light conversion option. 06:10 Adding a microwave occupancy sensor. 08:36 Emergency and microwave sensor option 11:00 Retrofit tray for existing 2D lighting fixtures ========================

What happens when you use an impact driver to install a consumer unit? We know it's a terrible way to carry out an electrical installation but we went ahead anyway. Manufacturers of circuit breakers and consumer units receive lots of warranty returns caused by electricians using impact drivers. So we decided to see exactly what happens to the terminals inside a consumer unit, Lewden RCBO and an expensive Wylex AFDD. With BS7671 amendment 2 just around the corner, the use of AFDD's in consumer units is expected to increase.

Wireless switching is becoming popular in rewire and upgraded electrical installations, especially where it is difficult to run new cabling. They are also simplify the wiring of 2 way switching or 2 way and intermediate switching. Many of the wireless switching technologies on the market feature proprietary protocols. This means if a manufacture no longer produces the sender or receiver unit the system could become useable if spare parts are no longer available. The wireless light switches in this video use Enocean battery free technology. This means light switches can be paired with receiver modules from many different manufacturers.

The eFIXX Awards 2022 are an exciting new initiative to reward and celebrate the people and businesses powering the electrical industry's revolution. For the Lecturer of the Year Award, we're looking at someone who makes a significant contribution to the organisation they work for, maybe they're always the first person to try new teaching techniques and technology or maybe they're the one who always steps up to cover lessons when crises crop up. Maybe they're the one who motivates and inspires their learners with consistent classroom control coupled with approachable warmth and humour. Maybe they're the ones who nail the syllabus to get good results while also integrating new and applicable developments in the electrical industry into their delivery. Whatever the case we're looking for that special person who is the embodiment of a proper teacher. They may work part time or full time or across multiple colleges and sites and if you're working with several great members of staff, you can nominate as many of them as you like! Nominations can come from either fellow staff, managers or even learners. For the College of the Year award, we're looking for a college that is constantly looking for ways to improve the standard of delivery and learning experience, a college that helps their learners see beyond the narrow confines of the classroom or their preconceptions of what an electrical career can entail. So do you carry out external visits to relevant environments? Do you bring in guest speakers to motivate and inspire? Do you look beyond the curriculum to the current advances in the wider electrical industry. Do your learners know about EV chargers, the latest amendments to the regs or smart technology? Do your learners look forward to theory based lessons as much as their practical? Are your classrooms and workshops engaging and exciting? Do your learners progress to employment within the electrical industry? These are the kinds of things that make for College of the Year. ===================================== Nominate your college for the an eFIXX Award and lecturer for and eFIXX Award. https://awards.efixx.co.uk/education ===================================== FREE to enter Entires are open for electricians and electrical contractors working in the UK The eFIXX electricians business awards.

The MK BASE range of wiring accessories is ideal for electrical installations where you need quality, but are under price pressure. The range covers more everything from USB sockets and fused spurs to cooker controls and a unique dimmer switch. The grid plates are compatible with switches from the MK logic plus grid range. == AD =========================== More information on the MK base range: http://hub.efixx.co.uk/MK-base-website MK Base pdf brochure http://hub.efixx.co.uk/MK-base-brochure MK Base available from electrical wholesalers nationwide == CHAPTERS ============================= 00:00 MK Base range 01:10 Neon socket outlets 01:50 Un-switched socket outlets 02:36 Existing MK logic plus with new MK base front plate 03:13 Buzzer module in a grid switch 04:02 Euro module plate to install 5 amp sockets 04:38 Multiple available switches 04:54 Dimmer switch - a great feature for low-end dimming 05:35 Add data using euro modules or dedicated faceplates 06:36 Common depth of faceplate across the range 06:58 Fuse connection units - all backed out screw terminals 07:38 20 year guarantee 07:49 Sockets made from Urea - inbuilt antibacterial & antiviral properties 08:48 Screw caps 09:30 Great look and feel ========================================== Urea-formaldehyde, a high-grade thermoset material with anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties inherent in the actual compound of the product. Along with the Logic Plus range, it is the most widely tested wiring device range available, with testing carried out by an independent accredited laboratory to the latest standards for antibacterial measurement for plastics – ISO 22196:2011 – giving even greater peace of mind to customers, especially when you are working on larger or multiple occupancy buildings (such as offices, homes, hotels, education, or healthcare establishments). The range has been tested in accordance with ISO 22196: 2011 against the Phi-X1742 virus, with kill rates of 99.99% - one of the smallest known non-enveloped viruses which makes it harder to detect and kill. Protection against this virus is used as an internationally recognised standard in anti-viral testing to analyse the resistance of critical PPE and air filtration systems to blood-borne viruses. Non-enveloped viruses are much harder to kill because they carry the proteins used to infect cells in an inner layer that is less susceptible to disinfectants. Because non-enveloped viruses are harder to disinfect, it is one of the reasons why protection against Phi-X174 is used as a standard for evaluating anti-viral performance. It also has an effective 24hr kill rate on MRSA (99.98%), E. coli (99.99%), salmonella (99.98%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (99.78%) and Staphylococcus Aureus 6538p, (99.99%) which can be resistant to antibiotics, plus Listeria (99.97%). ================================ 📺 NEW TO THE EFIXX CHANNEL Watch our essential videos playlist http://hub.efixx.co.uk/essentials​ 📺 CATCH UP ON THE LATEST VIDEOS http://hub.efixx.co.uk/latest​ 📺 ELECTRICIANS' TOOL REVIEW http://hub.efixx.co.uk/tools​ ================================ 🔴 eFIXX LIVE Join us for our youtube live stream twice a month - features product sneak peeks, challenges, giveaways and live electrical banter.

We posed the question last year, when will UK sockets have Wago style screwless terminals? Here we have the worlds first 13A Double Socket which complies with BS1363. The MK Logic Plus Rapid Fix is the first double socket to incorporate screwless terminals. This game-changing product reduces installation time and ensures a more reliable electrical connection. Developed in partnership with Wago, installing the MK Rapid fix is just like using the popular Wago 221 terminals. Are these sockets really Rapid fit? - we put them head to head with the traditional MK screw double socket. 📺 👉 https://youtu.be/WQdvmUtcQfo == AD ========================== *** Available now from SCREWFIX *** http://hub.efixx.co.uk/mk-rapid-fix ============================== ================================ 00:00 MK Logic Plus Rapid Fix 00:18 The first UK 13A socket with screwless terminals 00:52 BS1363 Screwless terminals & socket outlet 01:12 MK first to market 01:38 Conductor capacities 02:20 Logic plus features - 3 Pin safety shutter 03:57 Mk Rapid Fix socket - Wago style terminals 04:40 Screwless terminal conductor types 07:19 Back box size requirements 08:18 How to fit a Rapid Fix 13A double socket 12:30 More reliable and faster electrical installations ================================= 📍SUBSCRIBE TO THE CHANNEL eFIXX helps electricians, electrical contractors, building services engineers, and electrical apprentices.

A current transformer (CT) is an essential component of an EV charger installation where high electrical loads are present within the electrical installation or the incoming supply is limited. The CT is located around one of the incoming supply tails and will limit or reduce EV charger demand when other high current using appliances are in use. This reduces the risk of blowing the main service fuse. Making a connection between the EV charger and CT is easy when the EV charger is close to the supply. However in this installation the EV charger is over 30 meters away. This is where the MYENERGI Harvi comes to the rescue. A battery free and wireless current transformer which integrates seamlessly with all MYENERGI products. ===================================== 00:00 Why do EV installations need a current transformer? 01:04 Grid CT measurement location 01:22 Harvi is wireless and needs no batteries 01:51 Works with MYENERGI Zappi and Eddi 02:17 Solar PV 02:49 Can you install equipment in the meter box? 03:42 Harvi electrical connections 04:27 MyEnergi hub 05:22 Fitting energy export CT 05:57 Adding an additional CT to monitor PV generation 07:38 Setting up new CT via the Eddi (or Zappi) 07:56 App now reports energy generation and grid import / export ====================== == AD =========================== 🧰 More information https://myenergi.com/product/eddi/?utm_source=efixx&utm_medium=youtube&utm_campaign=livefeed ================================ ================================ Low-cost EV charging with Agile Octopus http://hub.efixx.co.uk/octopus-energy ================================ More videos in this EV installation series https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmWOIPxaBWH7Jwe8HikQl_ddX62K-ANHZ ================================ Are you an EV charger installer - check out these great services EV Comply Manage your installs, paperwork and win sales leads http://hub.efixx.co.uk/EVcomply Replenishh Everything you need to install EV chargers and more! http://hub.efixx.co.uk/replenishh ================================ =============================== 📍SUBSCRIBE TO THE CHANNEL eFIXX helps electricians, electrical contractors, building services engineers, and electrical apprentices.

The MYENERGI EDDI is a great solution to use excess solar PV energy to heat hot water. Combined with the Harvi wireless current sensor it measures exported electricity and diverts this to a standard immersion heater. However what happens when the sun doesn’t shine?
