Salute you brother. I was wondering all along how to install a consumer unit or just wanted to know and got the answer from you 100 percent ha ha. Well done.

I'm not a sparky, but a competent DIY'er. And I thoroughly enjoyed your video. You have a great way about you, a great roll model, if I was starting in the trade, I would love to have you as a tutor

Excellent demonstration of a really nice product. Watching your work is always a pleasure. Thanks for keeping up such high standards.

Really appreciate the kind words

I really like your table showing full circuit details. Very good touch Del 👍

Neutral connections on the side, similar to old Hager board's, great for new installation, complete pain for replacement, great demonstration Delroy 👍

That's one of the nicest dist boards i have ever seen. Thanks for the video Delroy.

That Schneider Consumer Unit looks really good ! Keep up the great content Delroy !

so relaxing to watch these after a long day :)

We flipped it upside down when we did one of these boards so earth bar was on the bottom and then unscrewed the neutral bar and moved it to the right way as you have and connected it up. It gave you alot more room at the top side to dress it all nicely. Good work my man.

(Just finished my level 2 electrical course and going for level 3 now) These type of videos are gold for me. Thanks.

@@mattheww3116 so far so good. Not that difficult. Just need to pass the final exam exam at the end of the year in order to finish my studies and enter the industry. All the best.

Nicely done Delroy as always.

Top job, Top presentation, Top man and that's from a plumber! All the best and I look forward to more of the same.

Must admit, I am not keen on these boards, I like the idea of flipping the cover over, that's a nice touch

thanks delroy very clear explanation

One of the best videos you've done.. Pukka job👌

Another great tutorial Del... loving your vids and your passion for the job... I wish you were operating in Leicestershire ❤❤

Great job always nice to watch especially the fault finding vids, also I like how you think of practicality and future proofing your work not all electricians do that 💯.

You made what was a pile of spaghetti into a well dressed board... nice neat work Delroy 😊😊

Another great intuitive video mate, surpised you don't have a impact driver to make life that little bit easier :)

Nice job delroy where do u get your work?

That fuse have lots of space and that is good.

The unit looks good however: why is the SPD connected to the neutral bar? (shouldn't it be connected to the ground?) and why are the live and neutrals on the opposite poles on the mains switch?

What gloves are you wearing? Do you have a link?

I enjoy your videos, I wish you worked in our area (Lincolnshire) 👍

Have you thought about going into college's to see if you can teach people how to do a install. Because of watching your videos I think you would be great at this cos I've learnt a lot more from watching I no that. Keep up the great videos and good work all the best

Great content Del. My only real gripe with the Schneider CU is the upper clearance being a little small. If the switchgear/Din rail were to be placed lower down this would be much better. Keep doing what your doing 🙏🏽👍🏽.

Very good fuse box with plenty space, only one thing, the stickers and labels writing is too small, I like to watch your job even I’m very busy. Good job Del

I was thinking the same thing

my mates run a wire from the main fuse up behind the board somewhere and his plugs are free he says.

In the states we just make are own holes if we need to for glands or conduit

❤❤ Nice video ❤❤🎉🎉🎉

I’ve come across at least 2 times unrelated cable running through consumer units last job had a bunch of them unrelated and had to cut through to the holes with wire cutters to get the board off the wall 😂🥵

Hey Delroy, are you sure you should have used the "Must not be connected to earth" sticker 20:06 hahah.......Im not convinced that equipment with exposed conductive parts connected to earth, aren't allowed in that house, and hopefully you HAVE connected the protective bonding to earth. Unless of course Part 2 shows how you created a faraday cage around the house.

what's the tune at 15 min?

do you not need to seal the cable entries for fire ?

@themarkcarr

2 жыл бұрын

No its not in the regs. The reg states that the board must be constructed of fire resistant material nothing more. Alot of manufacturers have jumped onto this and used it to sell sealing glands grommets etc but the regs don’t call for it.

Great electrical work delroy neat job

Thanks for the kind words

Mdf board still ok to use

The spd should be a cartridge type (spd power off and just replace the cartridge) shouldn't have to replace take the cover plate off and replace the whole thing be nice if they would use the single slot type so both L + N is inside the same single spd

That’s a smart and tidy CU installation. I’d like to see you do a CU install real time, not sped up, no music or talking.

Bit sad that mate but whatever floats your boat.

Smart looking board. Why can't each circuit protection device switch be colour coded as a standard and the busbar supplied insulated ? Nice Upload. 👍🏿

Some boards have quickconnect din rails so the bus bar always has a cover in it (don't really like this box, seems big fuss to install and modifications required that shouldn't be needed (cutting the bus bar) , the main switch, bus bar and spd should already be installed

I thought for a moment you were installing a small panel heater del 😆😆 see schneider is carrying on using the *9* branding trade mark etc merlin gerin used. Incidentally if any one is interested were the *9* came from it's supposedly the width of the device ie mcb which is 9mm in French measurements

Hi, from Russia. Translate. Привет, в нашей стране монтаж электрических щитов выглядит совсем по другому. Например у нас все жилы проводов изолированы, а у вас я так понял нейтраль это оголёный провод. И цвета проводов у нас другие.) Но Shnider у нас есть)
