Electrical Fault Finding On Socket Circuit

In this video I attend a property to carry out some fault finding on a socket circuit as the client's circuit was tripping randomly.

I love those orange Ideal connectors, picked them up at Elex a few years ago and use them all the time now

[welshsparky]

Delroy love watching your vids not so much to learn from Electrically I've been in the game for 40+ years but never too old to learn . What I like is your interaction with people you come across as a genuine nice guy . Keep going mate .

Great job Del, still the most honest real sparkie on the YouTube

[MrJimtimslim]

Delroy has a very soothing voice

Glad you are uploading your vids almost every day now. Hello from Russia! Cheers

I still use extension lugs a lot of screws are different colours or need to be flat head

Looked like there was also damage to the sleeving on the other live cable. How someone put that in the wall in the first place is beyond me. Good work Del.

Thanks to the owner for the big clue or it could have been another pricey day work job!

Very nice job done. I wish i was your student. You are angel.

[dord]

Nice easy repair in the end, would have liked to see how you fitted the connector 👍😀

[PDSVIDEO]

Hi Delroy, have you thought about doing a beginners series starting from scratch or even start another channel for beginners on how to test for faults, how to wire a socket, lights etc, tips and tricks to make the job easier.

I've seen those Ideal through connectors fail in EICR.
I stick to butt crimps and Wago connectors.

[ImranKhan-cfgs]

I had that problem as well a job in the past flashing on a two way switch cable damaged cable 3 core and earth ended up making a joint under neath floorboards

[paultipton]

I haven't seen extension screws for a few years, I'm not even sure if they are made anymore with the long 50mm, 75mm 3.5mm screws

Some times - Syrah the problem is right there in front of you.
Trained eye picked it up

Every time I turned on the microwave the light was flickering and the fuse in the plug blew..I thought it was a faulty light bulb. Ordered a new one for £16 changed it but same problem 😮 I decided to open the socket and found a lose cable, screwed it tight and problem solved . How can the wire get lose after years ??

[ronaldomac]

hahahaha never give stuff away....!!! I think we are all guilty of being too kind and leaving ourselves short :)

[drewgreen]

Is it a big company as in that your working for ?

[deanbrant]

My electrics in kitchen keeps tripping. Won't stay on at all. Nothing plugged in, checked all wiring seems OK. Just tripped and won't come back on

[tonyp]

Sorry for spastic question, why did u do Zs for and not the IR test? How total loop impedance can help you to find the fault? Will it be too high or what?
