Really helpful got a mini am2 today and needed a reminder on the braiding 😂

most important lesson here for sparks...just strip off the cable and throw it on the ground - there should always be a generous layer of crap left behind when you've completed the job

better instruction than my college i was wrapping them wrong the other way so tightening the nut was pushing strands out.

Art Attack for grown ups this

I’ve always wondered why sy cable is on the am2, as bs7671 doesn’t recognise this type of cable, as it doesn’t conform to a British standard?

I've wondered that. No manufacturers publish details of the braid current carrying capacity under fault conditions, so it is impossible for the designer to confirm it is at least equivalent to British Standards.

I don't think they should use SY cable in the AM2, it's not a cable mentioned in BS7671. On industrial sites I work on we generally use SWA to supply pumps. There is no information available from the manufacturers about how the braid performs under fault conditions. And for any AC installers out there it is NOT suitable for use outside as the sheath breaks down under sunlight.

Sorry, but i needed to get the full install in and moving cameras in too close may have cut something else out.

Horrible use of a knife. pipe grips? not spanners? those will leave burs all over the glands. no talk of a banjo. KZread sparks *sigh*

Hi Jason, thank you for your comment. Most centres don’t have spanners available. These videos support learners going into a certain environment. Spanners would be best practice but grips are commonly used, and if used correctly won’t leave burrs. Banjos are discussed when glanding.

It's tough to show the way we would use a knife on site and ensure the view on camera is sufficient . The video is not teaching someone how to use a knife, as I would like to think they are at this stage before booking an AM2 exam.
