Electricity can be dangerous - you should be qualified or desperate to carry out any electrical work br😄

That means it’s a120 volts service?

Just a video I needed to see Thx!

Well explained You guys are doing a great work with your videos Keep it up
Comment from : Justice Tetteh

Very interesting, I'm amazed at how similar it is to the setup we use here in Brazil, even though we mostly use 110/127 volts circuitry

Yay! British has 240v We win by 10v
Comment from : Southmead Lad

If you compare the circuit shown at 6:00 with the the circuit shown at 6:26 you will find the he has power going in the bottom of the device and out the top In and the next illustration he has this reversed with power going in the top and out the bottom brbrThe correct way to wire the circuit breaker is to connect the incoming power to the stationary part of the breaker and the load on the side which moves brNow in the US the entry would be at the top of the breaker with the lettering right side up How these breakers (he's showing) are made?? idkbrApparently In the UK they may not be concerned about the arc flashbrbrA quick comparison in the UK they have a little over 20,000 Residential Electrical Fires while in the US we have about 24,200 per yearbrThere are (ballpark) 24,000,000 home in the UK and about 140,000,000 homes in the US nearly six times as many house holds (in the US)brSo percentage wise 008 of homes will have an electrical fire in the UKbrIn the USA it's 001 WOW eight times more likely to have a electrical house fire in the UK

Great stuff, I can use this channel for my apprentices, thanks
Comment from : Steve Richards

Thank you for the video In Malaysia here most of our MCBs are designed to have the incoming section on the top and the outgoing section on the bottom The incoming section is usually labelled 1,3 or 5 while the outgoing section is label 2,4 or 6 The new rule also requires each instant water heater (usually installed in shower room) to have its own RCD with a sensitivity of 10mA

Thank you very usefull video
Comment from : Clodias Nano

So the neutral effectively acts as a ground line, completing the circuit and allowing electricity to flow… while the earth line is there purely as a safety precaution brbrIs that correct?

Why is the main fust before the meter??? Is it certain that that must be the case in my house, too?

Comment from : frank mangan

I am confusedif each appliance is a representation of a recistance in the houses cuircut, why does adding more appliances increase the current, instead of decreaning it? For example, if we take a simple circuit with a fixed battery, the more bulbs we add the dimmer the light becomes

1 can the RCD be eliminated and the system still work? So just the MCBs in this casebr2 Can the MCB's be eliminated and just use the RCD's?
Comment from : Nur

European style outlet boxes for lighting, receptacles, and switches are better designes than used here in the US with the use of terminal blocks; makes our system look like an archaic throwback But the European circuit breaker distribution panels are rather archaic by US standards, resembling something from the 1940's-50's at best

Love you bro♥️
Comment from : Manjunath nemani

How current will flow back to the transformer in last case where there is no direct connection between ground and neutral? Connecting the ground wire to ground rod will create high resistive path to Transformer which will allow very small amount of current to flow back but not trip the breaker
Comment from : Nirmal Chandra

MCBs don't protect themselves, they protect the cables, so they don't melt, that's why its important to get the right Amp MCB for the mm2 wires you have in the walls
Comment from : no112358

I learnt all four maxwell equations but I still have to search and watch how household electricity works on YouTubeSMH how strupid
Comment from : Beefree

Is it me, or did your diagram not show the appliance earthing cable connecting back to the neutral block in the distribution board? I heard you say it, but could not see it depicted I think that is needed to allow an MCB on the circuit to trip in the case of a ground fault (say, where the phase wire touches a metal casing of an appliance), but looks like it may not be needed with an RCD? Otherwise super-clear explanation, thanks!
Comment from : Justin Deane

Very Good Can you also do a video using 2 poles MCB instead of 1 pole so differences can be shown
Comment from : P Goh

How does the meter know how much energy we use if its alternating current ?????
Comment from : Carfuen107

You're the best mate, thankyou
Comment from : James Eccles

If electricity is distributed in 3 phases and only one property can use one of these 3 phases? therefore only 3 house per one transformer ? Could someone explained it ?

Comment from : SOK ENGSONG MEP TV

Your videos are super educational, Thank you! I'm going to throw you a crazy question Say I relocate my family to England from the US but I want to use some or even all of my old US appliances Is there a way to use both European and US based appliances without having a transformer at every outlet Can this be achieved at the breaker box?

7:23 is that's supposed to be like that's the neutral is connected from the RCD to the first MCB well looks like it is
Comment from : Tom Benton

Is there another bus bar (neutral) linking the RCD and the individual circuit breakers in this video? Could you clarify? I have seen some people use two bus bars (neutral & live)
Comment from : WeAreTheD

So is the neutral basically a return for the phase and if so where does this "neutral" electricity end up? Are we giving a percentage back to the system for free ?
Comment from : Trustnuffin

“Watts up” for a prize ? I love your channel as it is helping me understand electricity and the way that it provides work and light As I am in school right now to become a residential electrician in the state of California Keep up the great work ! As I was watching your video, a banner popped up at the bottom saying that if I seen this message I will receive a prize ? Watts up ?

Best video!!!!!!!! I'll be forwarding this video onto my electrician who did a rubbish job 🤣🤣🤣
Comment from : Judah Atkinson

A missing point on the MCBs is to protect the wiring and fittings downstream A 32A MCB is unsuitable to protect a circuit where the wiring is capable of no more than 15A It trips to protect the circuit, not itself primarily
Comment from : Animoo Bobbas

Studying to become an automation technician here in Sweden, 1 year study - which includes getting electrician degree, and the course I take sends us a PDF-file to read at home, instead of actually teaching us there, videos like this makes it easier to understand, Thankz
Comment from : Donnner93

I’m from Australia and we use 240V not 230V
Comment from : WalrusRider

In a normal European electrical installation, the neutral wire from the transformer is connected to the grounding of the house because the neutral wire from the transformer is connected to the transformer housing implicitly to the grounding and acts as a pen and n
Comment from : Darius Struna

It’s 240 volts in Australia not 230
Comment from : Jon

Good video A few points: When I moved out to NZ from the UK, I found that they do not use double pole main switches in their domestic boards They only use single pole and connect the main neutral to the bar We are now using RCD's like crazy One RCD has to now have no more than 3 MCBs off of it and power circuts have been lowered to 16A, rather than 20A So boards have gotten bigger to fit all these extra RCD's No point was made about the MEN link either In NZ, domestic boards usually have a 6mm earth wire, connecting the main earth bar with the main neutral bar That reduces the fault path
Comment from : Justyburger

Hi There seems to be a lot of confusion on Polish internet about earth cable Some say that you don't need it and some that you need expensive set of 12feet rods rammed into the ground!

Rectification: brEU uses 230 instead of 220, and we also have two different voltagesbrBetween 1 phase and neutral we have 230 V, between 2 phases we have 400 volt, great for cooking, electric cars etc
