How to do Electrical Wiring properly! (more or less....) GERMAN STYLE!

You can get a proper Jokari and Wire stripper here (affiliate links):

In this video me and my friend will show you how to do electrical wiring properly. That means we will remove the complete electrical system of his garage and install a new one. We will be talking about/showing you how to mount and wire up a new distribution box, install circuit breakers, mount electrical components like outlets, switches and lamps, install conduits, lay cable and finally how to connect all the components to one another. Let's get started!

German here. Incase some people think "Meh, he probably did it extra well here in this video, there is no way this is how its done on site irl".
Nope. That is exactly how. In any house where the electrical system was either renewed, or new anyways - this is exactly how it looks. :D

Finally something not American! Thank you so much! Even though we have more or less the same system in Hungary, it's nice to see a detailed guide

How long has it been, since I saw such wiring.... In our company, the first things our apprentice learn is how to do house wiring properly, and we have a realy good picture on our pegboard, showing how wire connections should look like and how it shouldn't look like. I'm so glad, that they teach this to us, even though we usually work on PCBs.

3:05 - Slight correction on the RCBO, it doesn't detect current flowing to the protective earth wire, it detects an imbalance of current flowing down the live and back on the neutral.
If it only detected current flowing to the protective earth wire, you could get a shock, passing the current through your own body to ground, and not down the protective earth wire, it wouldn't detect it.

Scott: Talks about wiring standards
India: We don't do that here

A new installation and no "Erstprüfung" according to VDE 0100 Teil 600? Thats pretty mutig 😂

[montemattia]

This was a PLEASURE to watch for someone working in this field! Thank you for the hard work you put in these videos

German standard makes here in indonesia looks like unga bunga

It's surprising how different German switches, cables and connectors are from the Italian ones. As always, great video!

I would recommend keeping your power outlets and lights on separate circuit breakers. You are more likely to trip your power outlet, at least this way your lights don't go out if you do.

In Catalonia we use 1.5mm copper wire for 10A instalation, 2.5mm copper wire for 16A for electrical socket plugs, with one RCBO for max 5 circuit brakers and a diferent breaker for ilumination circuit 10A and a 16A braker for electrical sockets.
Great videos, I love your channel.

As an apprentice in Germany, this video has helped me a lot to have the basics! Vielen Dank! :)

The tag line “German Style” brought me back here :p

[alicangul]

You draw better electrical plans on paper than some engineers here who draw it on AutoCAD.

[TheShippo]

Im an italian electrician, here in italy 1.5mm sq is for 10amp circuit, for 16 amp we use 2.5mm sq, also you can use some adapter for the tube to the junction box and you dont have any whire exposed and get a better look, thanks scoot see you next time!!

Glad to hear advice at 0.56 seconds in. Beyond that advice what I'm seeing I categorize as "entertainment." I would be relieved if more "influencers" would express similar warnings early in their presentations. Please be mindful of the fact that at risk here are both property, the lives of others and your own.

I used to work in Germany Electricity and i really liked their system, I Miss Berlin, and great video...

[drTERRRORRR]

I love how it's all about context. "Let's pay them a visit.GERMAN STYLE." sounds eerie ;)

I'm a danish electrician and i have a small correction:
5:24
The theoretical rating of a 1, 5mm^2 wire is a little over 16A, but in european standards a 1, 5mm^2 wire should never be able to pull more than 13A because of factors like distance, wire bunles, tempatures and a few other thecnical factors like short circuit current (Ikmin and Ikmax (the Ikmax is not valid in this situation)). All of these factors limit current rating very much.
Unfortunaly you have to dive DEEP into electrical math to see that influence.
Great video anyway. I was intertained.
(Yea i know the entire installation has a 6A fuse in front of it, so 16A will never be able to run there before that pops.)

Great to see and hear in English. About to rewire my garages and so far been searching German wiring in English. Understand most in german but for clarification in my own language is good. Thanks
