Yea 3rd year here that was good way of breaking the book down 👍🏼

Data cable can cross over LV at 90 degrees, it is stated in as2009 which is data cabling rules.

Hey mate I'm a matured aged apprentice and this video helps. Appreciate it. Thumbs up

I'm currently looking into baby proofing electrical sockets because my son keeps pulling out cords but I found your KZread channel and it's awesome.

You are a credit to your trade Corey!

Sitting my capstone this year and this was helpful, good to see an AU sparky on youtube. Some more vids of the electricians bible would be great. Thanks :)

This is a great informative video, Definitely need more fit off/rough in tips and trips!!

Great educational video mate, keep up the good work!

Thank you Corey i really enjoyed your lesson. I live in England and been doing a little research for family i have in Oz who have a problem so wanted to check how you do things there and not massively different to here. Great stuff.

6:39 Krone data cabling standards suggest crossing at 90 degrees where necessary in order for the data system to still be certified as a Krone certified installation. Probably came from that.

Great video mate. Really helped. Keep them coming

Good stuff mate, love to see it!

Great video. Thank you. I hope you put up many more.

Great video. More of this the better!

Great videos mate. Keep going. You have created a great niche here.

I worked as a spark in Australia, so much more relaxed over there than in the UK. Nice video mate.

I’m stuck in Data as an apprentice, I need more videos like this Corey!! 💔😫😂

Good work Corey

Bro you're doing Gods work. Keep going!

Can confirm that the 90 degree rule was in my open cabling licence course. The interference risk is lessened in this format, however unless the cables are fixed, you can't be sure they still stay at 90 degrees so best to segregate or separate.

Really enjoyed this video 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Would like to see more of this videos, really practical 🤙🏼 (Breaking down the rule book) Thanks

Great vid! super keen to see another one on something electrical (wiring lights? air cons? ). my tradies show me what they do but you show us the Code too. Very helpful.

Bro pls do more videos like this im an apprentice and this was helpful as

Love the pain explanation of topics - gold! Two questions, generally standard area point are like you said "300mm High" For other people watching, you meaning 300 to the horizontal centre of the plate (i.e. screw fixtures) or to the bottom of the plate? Secondly, when using metal mounting gang plates, are their and different fixing rules between timber and metal studs?

G’Day Mate. Love your videos. Quick question? What size wire should be run from the house metre box to the shed power box? Just want to make sure my tradie is doing it correctly? The shed is a 9x6 standard size 5xpower points with all standard house hold tools used. Any info would be much appreciated mate

Nice info mate . In NZ we tend to use flush boxes , not just for power points but for the light switches as well at the rough in stage . And hope like hell the gib fitters cut out the points

Cheers Mate

Watching this as a layperson because I need to drill into the stud directly to the right of the power point and I want to make sure I don't hit any cable. This video was useful as no one ever covers the rough in stage and typical wiring patterns! I'm still not sure if there's wiring running up the side of the stud that I could hit but it helps anyway. Can you do a video of typical rough in locations of an aussie house for electrical outlets? Like if a power point is located low on the wall, just above baseboard and there's a stud right next to it, where are the no-go zones for drilling? I tried a stud finder with ac detection but of course it detects the whole wall because there's electrical behind there.

Yep, 60mm segregation or 6mm thick barrier between comms/TV and mains. More so for potential vermin damage etc to prevent a contacting fault. Close parallel runs should be avoided due to inductive noise as well.

Hi Cory, what's the standards for wiring an 20amp oven? Does the wire need to be inside a pipe?

Hello, just wonder what size cable I should use for electrical socket in Australia?

Thank you for the educational video. I am looking forward to starting my apprenticeship next year. I presume that throughout my apprenticeship and subsequent career, I will be constantly referring to this bible on a regular basis?

@coreybruhn

Жыл бұрын

Good luck mate! You won't really be referring to it on the job because the A-Grade Electrician you're working with will already be on top of most wiring rules, however it's good practice to look up the AS 3000 in your spare time, especially in regards to what you've been doing at work

Aussie house wiring, how much power is on one power leg?

Good day mate ,where can I buy the modules for electrical standards installation in Australia.because I’m planning to take electrical course next year and I want to have an advance study

It depends where a socket outlet is used as to whether it is a GPO or SPO.

Hello thanks for the video. You said that the sockets are rated at 10amps, but the rcbo is 16 or 20amps. Why is it much more than 10amps? Also, with a heavy appliance such as washing machine which uses more than 10 amps, can it be used for this 10 amps socket? I have heard that more power can still go throught the 10amps socket. Thanks

@coreybruhn

Жыл бұрын

You usually have multiple 10A socket outlets on the one power circuit, a lower rated circuit breaker will cause nuisance tripping. The RCBO is also rated to protect the cable, which for power circuits it's generally 2.5mm. Appliances that draw more than 10A will have a 15A or higher plug, meaning they won't plug into your standard 10A socket outlet and will need a higher rated outlet

your still crossing at 90s even if your running a bit of corrro, The corro is because the sleeve of most cat cables isnt rated at 240. the 90 degree thing is about interference

You can access the wiring rules through trade school, your employer, NECA, MEA or pay for it on the standards website (which is expensive af)

The only way I can see that you can cross power 90 degrees is with pink c-bus data cable as that particular cable can run with power but in terms of your normal cat6 you can't. Look it up in the communications regs and let me know where it says you can and I'll correct myself

Love the vids. I can’t be bothered looking at the standards but im pretty sure there is a note about using 1.5 for socket outlets if they are 15amp or dedicated circuits. Also, im pretty sure if you get the actually communications standards it mentions that extra low voltage and low voltage can cross over. They use the wording something like cables must not run parallel no less than 150mm. Also, I hate those new Clipsal mounting blocks. They look slick but the support on the fixings is piss weak and the thread for the gpo screws is just plastic and can Fuck out. Doesn’t happen often but annoying as fuck when it does.

Thanks mate! I think you're talking about Table 3.3 Exception 1? "Smaller conductors may be used on subcircuits supplying socket outlets, based on their suitability, in accordance with this Standard, and taking account of voltage drop, current-carrying capacity and reliability of connections" I had a look at AS/CA S009:2020 and you can only cross data over at a right angle for undercarpet power cable. Yeah I agree! You just gotta be real gentle otherwise you'll crack the plastic.
