Why I Hate Emergency Fault Finding Jobs - Electrician Life.
Join me on an emergency callout to commercial premises. This crêpe shop had lost power to some of their sockets. I walk through my fault-finding procedure and how I find the source of the problems. These jobs can be a bit of a nightmare and I usually regret going out to them! But it's all part of the job of being an electrician! You have to take the good jobs with the bad! Crawling around under a greasy kitchen counter to search for an electrical fault is not my idea of a fun day out, but I did get a tasty reward at the end!

Golden rule, believe no one check and test everything
That’s what 30 odd years have taught me

My colleague went to the local pizza shop to grab some dinner and they said we are shutting as there is no power. He said let me have a quick look and restored power. They then pointed at the menu board and said whatever you want it’s yours.

Worst thing about fault finding is when you start to lose the head and you stop thinking clearly.

@andreasu.3546 5 years ago

And after all the work, customer be like "you're charging WHAT just for switching a breaker back on????"

@deanholloway7755 5 years ago

Worked in one Indian restaurant kitchen and every piece of equipment and cupboard was on wheels and the floor and walls were tiled so that they could move everything and clean everywhere. Immaculate place and used the place ever since.

One thing I've learnt over the years is to ignore customers presumed diagnosis.. think for yourself and think clearly 🙂🤘🏻

i stoped doing faults to shops years ago as wiring was always a mess, parking was a nightmare, and getting paid was a bigger nightmare.

@miketgb179 5 years ago

I would have added a note to the first DB to say that there was a 2nd in the basement. Remember it might be one of your guys who gets that job next time.

This makes me glad to know that here every power outlet, junction box and every bigger appliance needs to be labelled with the corresponding circuit breaker and corresponding fusebox. When used in a commercial setting.

@martinfreekie7659 5 years ago

Radial circuits with multiple outlets in commercial kitchen environments are destined to be a problem. Practically everything seems to demand 3000w in them.

You should do post commentary for all fault finding, it's much easier to digest. I felt like i was fault finding with you rather than being almost talked at. Good job

@andypaddon690 5 years ago

cracking film - you've captured so much of the real world of a faulting engineer that's never actually shown on other videos Thumbs up !!!!!!

@michaelreeves8164 1 year ago

Used to work in as a hospital electrician. Double gloves there as you never know what you might find. Anyway, it is all part of life's rich pattern.

That larger panel was NOT 'Readily accessible'

@rogerbean393 5 years ago

Very common to have more than one DB in a commercial / shop establishments.
Once called to a Indian restaurant and in the kitchen the hand wash sink was all connected via flexible plumbing so it could be removed to access the DB.
One of 4 !!!

Yep, Keep clients happy is the most important thing, especially food outlets.
My local chippy always reward me with haddock and chips.😆

Good on you Jordan.
You are tenacious in your problem solving and in exlpaining your reasoning to us the viewer. Here in the U.S at least on commercial and industrial jobs we label the cover plates in the field with the Panel Number and Circuit Number and a help for identification and trouble shooting. Those Kreppe units draw a lot of power and the circuit may have been overloaded. Only time and another call will tell. Hope you got well payed for your efforts . More than creppes.
This story is full of potential for puns and I could waffle on. No pancake boxes anywhere in the mix just crap everywhere. I think Cory might still be there sampling so its best that you took one for the team. He is the Richard Attinborough of Electricians.
Did you grab yourself a cuppa.
