Having passed my electrical qualification over 30 years ago I wish I could go back and show myself this video. Things would have been easier 😂

Great video once again. I really love the way you put things across in a simple manner. 👍

Wired up my garden room, open consumer unit found a spare breaker, then shoved the earth and neutral into nearest vacant terminals and nada! Your explanation of RCDs enabled me to realise my CU was split in two with just one RCD and the other half was on breakers alone and I'd wired the live from breakers and the neutral was on the RCD neutral block. Quick re jig balanced the supply and bingo! Thanks so much

This might be a small thing, but I appreciate that you used proper European sockets.

Excellent video, especially liked the animation showing how the RCD detects ground faults.
While I knew that the RCD "detects a difference between the active and neutral', I struggled visualising exactly how it works.
But now, thanks to you, it's very clear!
Thank you!

Interesting. I had not heard of a "consumer unit". In the States, we just call it the meter and the breaker box along with sub panels.

[vpyykks]

Wow, , , fantastic this is the best explanation of the year
I had missed some part during the class but you did it best

We have old fuse box and was looking for consumer unit to replace with but had no idea what it and how it function and this video just answered. Thank you

Man, I teach English to future electricians, this is extremely helpful! More, please 📚🙏🏻

Interesting to see how residential panels work in different countries.
Here in the Netherlands its required to use breakers with both phase and neutral, also 3 phase connections are more common.

[jonnyshoestring]

Excellent, the building block approach is perfect especially as you start from scratch up to populating with mcbs.
I liked the explanation of how rcbs are wired.
The video is 👍👍👍
Will be trawling through your vids to find other gems and I'm only to happy to subscribe.
