Leaving extra length of the armoured would make the job easier i believe .. Well done sparky 👍

Great help thankyou so much Ryan youre the best

Nice clean job
Brilliant ❤❤

Thanks man very helpful i will definitely do the same ❤❤❤

22/58 100a fuse is an European style industrial fuse NOT a domestic 22/57 house service type. Any short circuit fault would blow the DNO fuse and not the one in the switch fuse,I've seen this happen before,these fuses have a much higher watts loss and pre  arcing values are higher

That sub main should not be in the box

Nice one Ryan that is always a bitch of a job. Even if you do armours every day.its still shit. You made it look easy keep up the good work. The only thing I do different is I take the grommet out of the gland and put it back in, so the 2 25 mm holes are at the back.

very helpful video....

great vid.  Ive got to do one this week.  what's the general thoughts on running the swa up the cavity?? If i cant get it up the cavity then I'm going to have to chase it into the block behind the dot and dab :/

Why was it not an 80amp fuse upstream of the 100amp main cutout?  Descrimination/ Selectivity and what not

Nice.  FYI, its the meter operator (eon, british gas etc) who will install the meter. DNO own up to the cutout  before the meter, so will not install that

That neutral on the load side must of been a right pig

I would have put the tails gland above the main switch they would have gone straight in ..
And fit an earthing nut on the swa gland .

Top stuff

DNO fuse is to protect the installation as a whole metering etc, the additional fuse is required to protect the cabling to the CU. Not required if CU is closer.

If CU more than 3 meters away from DNO cutout the switch fuse is for reducing fuse to 80 amp not 100 amp same as DNO cutout.

The 12m of 25mm cable to the CU is not protected enough - one fuse is not good enough. Best to have an S type 100A RCD 300mA coupled with a 80A C type mcb. Far better than this 1950s stuff and ways. Selectivity is then in order as well.

I've done a couple of these, it's easier to curl the wires at both lod and supply side. I always leave length on cables just in case and it looks just as tidy. Not sure why earth nut or banjo wasn installed from source side as less likely to get tampered or disconnected 🤔

Bet getting the cover on was a nightmare😂

The city had my service cut out replaced a week ago, and then yesterday it literally caught fire. Was arcing and there were flames and burning and very loud thuds that spat fire into my bedroom, smoke everywhere, fire alarms blaring.... They came in and made a temporary replacement connection to my neighbors power. Now I'm just freaked out about it, what if it does it again, what if it does it while I'm asleep, or worse yet, what if it does it while I'm at work and I come back to a smoldering ruin of a house.
Went from never thinking about electricity to just being paranoid over it being in my damn house....
