morning guys we're at the workshop we're at the classroom we've been allowed to escape to the Elex
Show we're on our way down to Alexandra Palace at the moment hopefully going to get some information
some updates on the 18th edition got some stuff on surge protection i'm here with matthew matthews
driving us down also um hopefully we're going to find out some more information about the arc
fault detection units it's still a bit unclear as to what the regulations are going to be on those
but hopefully we'll get some things clarified on that as well strictly speaking we're interested in
the t-shirt and the bacon rolls but we'll uh we'll see them when we get down there we're gonna have a
little mooch around we're also hoping that there's gonna be some reps there for the fire resistive
clips we're interested in seeing some solutions for that so when we get down to Alexandra Palace
we'll probably check back in again and see if we can get any extra information uh on the channel
so i've arrived nice easy journey someone's just indicated to me that the darts isn't on this isn't
until December so we're watching that today so let's have a look at some electrical stuff while
we're here and as we're electricians were an hour early i suppose we were plumbers would be an hour
and a half late so i'm not sure whether we'll be able to get a little bit of early access to some
of the stalls and that when we get in there or whether we're gonna have to wait in the
queue but we have arrived nice safe journey let's see what's happening inside once we get in there
thank you very much cheers mission completed bacon roll and we're finished
can't beat it can you you just can't beat it so usual crack we've arrived trade stores everywhere
so which is good we're going to be uh on our way around trying to nab some of this for the college
as we move around so we're in ready to rumble what's nice about this is
you get a chance to meet the legends of the industry as we're looking over at dave austin
so it's nice to meet the legends of the industry so with dave austin we've seen your video clip
on youtube introducing the age of edition so what would you suggest is the the main
impact of the general electrician there's the thing is we're still working off the document
and all of our stuff has come from that okay we do know more perhaps than we can say because you
hear stuff uh but i a lot of the things that we knew were going to be problems
i mean particularly the earth electrode in your installation yes supposedly caused the
huge report the foundation the foundation i mean we well with every new installation
that would be another lecture okay which had to achieve at least 20 ohms right which is
impractical and almost impossible so we've you know we've challenged that we've said is it going
to be the case we don't know yet that would be a huge impact disconnection times looking
at fiddling around without a point four up to 63. now there was a standardizing point
for it they weren't but it was a confusion because it said distribution circuits up to
i think 63 amps would have a distant connection time with 0.4 seconds where they were connected
to final circuits for sockets and they've just said up to 6300.4 disconnections
that seems to be the way it's located exactly i mean there's a lot of the 18th which i think
is great and it's standardizing stuff and one thing um where where any any uh supply comes
in or plastic without yeah gas or water then there's no need for bonding right but that's
clarified because that was a huge point people just didn't know where they were because you know
i said to my students there's no difference in a metal bed frame it has no external potential we're
not bonding that so if the water pipe comes in and it's plastic we've also not introduced adventure
maps and people are saying okay well you know there's a connection through the fact that the
water is conducted so there is actually but it's a hundred thousand homes or something like that
when you go to that level it's not relevant to an estimation so we would be asking to look and see
for instance if they so outside tap pipe work was around the outside of the building are we
concerned that that might induce a potential from outside whether that's metallic i don't
think so you know i think i don't think that's the sort of stuff i have here all the time it's
been an absolute pleasure i just hope my sound is working correctly yes we'd have to research
it bring me back nice to meet you thank you cheers brilliant students will love that
good beyonce is it fully in when you get asked after fully and that's a worry
well it's legend after legend as uh we're meeting tony cable here and
we're going to find out now what he's doing now he's left the n i said what
are you up to uh i know i'm a product ambassador for the score group okay
which is the skull more and the click and stuff it's the esp stuff as well all the
cameras and everything like that and i'm really enjoying that it's an almost retirement suit well
you'd never get Darren to join us and then make it the legendary threesome would you look at this
don't get much better than this one this is this is working this is working man he's
been following me around the industry for years not exactly so Tony's doing well and
Darren's always doing too well i would suggest would you suggest a busy year this year busier
for me than it is for you it is it sure is not involved with the 80 yeah i'm all over there
cheers
breakfast
oh thank you very much
no mistakes will be made one of the problems you've got is there so many manufacturers you
know there are a number of of us here who are uk based and we do speak to each other
but there's that so here i am with linear fire clips so this is where we're going folks so we're
going to be looking to supporting our cables to prevent premature collapsing and i'm introduced
to one of the founding members of the business yep my name is Lynne jangier and i'm the lim and linen
we're a family business based in Glasgow and we are proud to support manufacturing in Scotland
our products are at the forefront of compliance and innovation and we're happy to be supporting
Gary with some installations that he's going to be doing with our products these are the clips that
we're going to be pushing in our workshop asap as soon as possible we want to be at the forefront
of the wiring regulations as we move across to the 18th conditions
and my students will be making sure that we don't have a warrant system that premature
collapse in the event of a fire thank you very much for your time thank you thank you
for the classroom yeah um not today but maybe if we come to some sort of arrangement
got out of it um brilliant to speak to the legends of the industries as shown previously
in the videos we've got a little bit more of an update on the 18th some bits have been clarified
and some bits now we're presuming with the nod and a wink aren't going to be in there
so that's obviously going to aid us right now are learning resource material come this summer
so matthew would you get out of it yeah well we've spoken to darren and i'm Dave Dave Austin from the
NIC i've seen Billy from DIY SOS that's been really interesting we've
spoken to various manufacturers it's been a really good day do you think yeah pretty good
i love it i recommend you go to any of the other shows up and down the country it's worth spending
a day it just gives you a little bit of insight and the traits stands are also really good well
all all the trades have been willing to share all sorts of information um i've
been particularly happy because i've learned a bit more about electric combi boilers that's a
personal thing that i want to know a little bit more about we hope this video has been some help
