Today I received a call out from a friends mum who lost power downstairs, I don't normally do call outs but the van was in for a MOT so i had some spare time, grabbed the GoPro and started filming.
Hope you enjoy!!

Even after years as a spark, fault finding occasionally gets me nervous.

I know the feeling!!

When I install those BG Boards I always double-check that the breakers are fully open and that the bus bar goes in properly, I've seen it so many times where the busbar goes behind the terminal on the MCB and it does get terminated properly causing it to arc.

You could see an arc flash in the consumer unit @ 1:06 which would have been the loose connection. The mcb and busbar will almost certainly be scorched and will require replacement.

I did take out the MCB and check the bus bar and they were fine luckily

An interesting video Adam. What causes a screw holding in a breaker to become loose over time?

@sotaelectrical 8 ай бұрын

Hi Bob!! It probably wasn’t done up super tight in the first place, but it’s the vibrations that loosen it off

@golf-electrics 8 ай бұрын

I would say it’s always been loose and was never torqued properly …..

That was lucky….lose connection on a ring main breaker you would expect more arc damage.some dis boards have design faults where you can mis align a circuit breaker on the bus bar and tighten it up with the impression of a good connection but in reality it is only touching the bus bar. Dentist mirror is a handy device to have to check this when installing. Always do a wiggle test😂

Personally i would have checked all the connections on the buzz with a mirror just to see that the buzzbar was actually within the mg gate. If the installer could not be bothered to tighten the mcb screw what else could he not be bothered doing.

I did check that also just didn’t show it in the video buddy
