a sparky ninja yeah so we've been joined today by Sparkyninja it's an honor to be standing this
close to such a god amongst the youtube community and especially the electrical industry and we're
looking today at the Linian products Linian fire clips is something i've been actively following
for some time and we really like their products for supporting mineral insulated and FP200 however
david we've stumbled across today well we've gone through a couple of um questions and we've
taken the time to find a solution to fixing twin and cpc cables and then have now got that here
demonstration there so we have twin and cpc surface clips on timbers we have a solution much
better than the previous cable types we have and we've also got down below still our armor cabling
and they've got an increased thickness to tolerate the mechanical strength with bending of the radius
of the armor so it's a lot more stronger for the support for the cable type and they've also now
got supports for plastic conduit systems so this is something that we've been looking for
to expand the variety now they are also producing some more types of systems which is a bit secret
we're going to hopefully get some new information on that towards christmas time so we've got these
super clips and we really like them we're all responsible for premature collapsing
under the 18th edition warren regulations in every location and we think linear are at the forefront
of new innovation especially as they're the first people we've seen supporting twitter cpc the first
engineering solution that i've seen and uh it's good because answering a question i've been asked
a lot and now i can just find a place to go with it's fantastic stuff thank you to lydia cheers
it's plymouth sparky we've had sparky ninja now we've got plymouth sparky and of course we've got
richard townsend the creator of the code breaker that is yeah and we're on audition number two is
that great yeah edition number two for the 18th edition all rewritten double the content double
the codes lots more information for contractors we're covering art fault detection all sorts of
everything david is there anything you'd like to see in that book yeah richard i'd want to know
if there's any additional information on sbds yes there's a section on surge protection what to look
for if you're doing any icr what's uh what to code things if you find them or you don't find them
the risk assessment for the um combined risk length we go all through that and give you some
dummy examples so you can understand whether we need to use uh surge protection or not iron
insulation so it's evolved we would suggest we've just seen the presentation i think we
did quite well on our c1 c2s and c3 yeah not too bad one or two hecklers i think in the audience
but we've evolved that book it's a lot bigger and now it's got additional information to make later
yeah i thought the first edition was fantastic i've had a little look at the draft and it looks
fantastic as well so i'm here with senior engineer stephen from the iet and he's wrote a fantastic
book to help us understand the wiring regulations from a student's perspective can you tell us a
little bit about our book statement yeah of course well prior to joining iet i was a lecturer at
cambridge regional college and i found resources for students were kind of far and few between
so when i joined it i took the opportunity to put together the students guide which basically
compiled all the information that i struggled to find in one place when i was lecturing
and put into nice understandable bite-sized pieces of information lots of illustrations
and nice sort of laying descriptions to help students are just starting out in the industry
it is a fantastic book i know we we say you gotta buy a couple of books on our course but
this is one of the books that we say coming towards december that they should be buying
it's a fantastic guide even just simple things like holmes law all the way through as well as
the one regulation so it's a college book as much as a warren regulation but yeah definitely
so really pleased with it and i have had a lot of great feedback from students and lecturers
and it's widely used as a teaching resource in the colleges that are visited and more than half
our learners bought it last year so thank you very much no problem thank you cheers sorry i'm
with jeff chief electrical engineer at the iet and he's going to give us a quick overview of some of
the changes in the 18th edition jeff hi yeah i'm secretary of the the national wine regulations
committee which is the committee responsible for the 18th edition and as you say there are some
quite key changes in the 18th edition things like section 722 electric vehicles
no longer allows PME as a means of earthing for electric vehicle unless you meet all the
requirements of the wine regulations there's three key areas that you'd have to meet things
like the regulation concerning socket outlets which is quite a common one 41133 that's changed
slightly now it goes up to 32 amps you have to have rcd protection 30 million per cd protection
things like one of the key areas for installation of cables you now have to uh protect against uh
premature collapse in the event of a fire um throughout the installation which is a key
area of course you know and we think in about 30 minutes for that premature it's going to be held
in place for approximately 30 minutes well there's no time given you know so uh really it's um the
wine regulations just say premature collapse so as i say there's no time given there um and there are
um there are quite a few other uh key changes uh things like the section 753 which is uh heating
cables and embedded heating that's been extended now to cover wall heating and other areas okay so
um you know i don't want to go through every possible detail change but there are some very key
uh changes in this book it's important that we keep up to date with our training
in order we keep up to date with the regulations thank you jeff yeah you're welcome cheers
