He's just saying that as long as you match the pairs up correctly at each end then the colours don't matter, it won't affect the connection.

Point taken, just didn’t want to upset my client

@@sotaelectrical It never hurts to be cautious, just in case.

@@jimsvideos7201 It doesn't really matter because I can see it anyway.

Thank you for the advice!! Much appreciated 👍👍

Thanks for watching and for the tip 👊

Exactly agree mate

Realise? It's minimum input maximum profit..nothing else matters😊

These are things I don’t know about so I shall go away and learn!

Ha ha yes it would so that won't happen

Agree !

I'm so glad I'm out of this trade now and retired.

Just being courteous

Yes mate thanks for the tips as always!!

Why not just put a switch in the garage?

Another vote for the lube. Makes a huge difference

Thank you 👍👍

Thanks Derren you Legend!!

Hi Kevin, thanks for commenting, I’m not a network engineer at all but I’m trying to learn, if you watch some of my latest videos you will see I have been making improvements and listening to you engineers taking on board your tips and tricks.

Thank you 👍👍

Thank you mate 👍👊

Thanks for the advice mate 👍👍

Ok thanks for the tip! Il look into this!

Thank you 👍

Thank you, really appreciated 👍

Thanks mate, yeah I need to get some yellow 77!!

I was just thinking same. I do quite loads of cable pulling on train stations most of the ducting is hard to pull cables through. And cable lube made so much difference. And loads of it on the joint. Good job mate.

@@milansusuk8164 thanks mate 👍

Always thought yellow 77 was no good personally

Thank you 👍👍

That is literally what I did my man 👍

Thank you mate you legend 👊

Got it thanks mate

🤣

Thank you!! Every days a school day

Might want a switch in there with cctv IP camera so always best to get 4 pairs for max performance

Thank you mate

That’s brilliant to know!! Thanks for the tip, really useful, ill have to do some more learning into this 👍👍

@@sotaelectrical Google for ‘Ethernet over VDSL2 converter’. They can do quite a distance.

Thank you for watching my videos!! Really appreciate it! Yes point taken, il get a tub 👊

Thank you 👍👍

Thank you sir

Thank you!! That is called a runpotek cable roller, it’s not cheap but worth it

Perfect 👌

Hi Harry, thanks for watching, firstly I work closely with Doncaster cables and the EV Ultra is perfectly suitable for ducting, it is also RCD protected. I have not used a 63A MCB so I’m not sure where you have got that from, nor a 32A MCB. Point taken on the CAT5 , others have mentioned this also.

@@sotaelectrical Was a good video for sure. I’ve had to battle similar installations on new builds that lack for thought when installing cabling to garages and car ports etc. Interesting I’ll check out Doncaster’s website further to look into the documentation around the EV ultra would be interested too see how it meets the equivalency of SWA as BS7671 only gives max ccc on direct burial and ducting on multi core armoured. My mistake on the MCBs/RCBO ratings. I assumed you’d installed a 32amp protective device to the car charger as this would give them the max charging rate and assumed you’d install a 63 amp protective device at the front end to provide maximum headroom for future loading. But equally the closer the rating of protective device the higher likelihood of selectivity issues. Also just a point on Doncaster’s website they state the max ccc with max conductor operating temperature of 90°c rather than 70°c which the Fusebox rcbos and also Zappi are rated to 70°c. I’m not here to coat you off by the way I enjoyed your video and just always try to give my opinion as it starts discussion especially where you work alone you may not have the back and forth with anyone for designing circuitry.

You will need to install the grid CTs at the meter position. If the supply's for each building come from the meter position

Thanks bro, no need for a harvi mate?

I’m going to start using them, it’s one of those things I just didn’t think off but I have been made aware so I’m start using them. Thank you for watching my stuff, really appreciated 👍👍👍

Nice thing about watching your stuff is seeing how slick it is and how even with your level of expertise you are learning to use gel lube and gel crimps

@@brianoneill350 thank you sir

The best way to heat them is keep one in your front pocket when you leave the house, qorks a treat.

Hello mate, load curtailment I would always advise, if the charger is in WiFi range then that’s fine 👍👍

Points all noted, thanks for watching, appreciate it 👍

Problem is the CT signals are just analog current signals so you can't transport them over ethernet, need dedicated colours

They are a good option

I know, it’s such a common scenario

If you google rear van door canopy they will come up

Yeah I didn’t know that, just tried to do the right thing with my lack of knowledge on it

@@sotaelectrical No worries bud. Just sharing knowledge.. now you know :-) have a good one!

@@oderbang thanks mate, you too!!

It does but it would have been a bit touch and go with the distance on this one

Unfortunately there is no answer to that question. There are a lot of factors to take into consideration when designing circuits. If you’re running an swa you need to think about derating factors such as depth of burial, grouping factor, ambient ground and air temperatures and soil resistivity. Also need to take into consideration the loading and the external impedance, volt drop, length of run and protective devices. A 6mm swa in many situations could comfortably take a power and lighting circuit of 16 and 6 amps respectively but you go running 200 meters of cable that all goes out the window. For example I’ve just had to install a 70mm swa for an 80 amp supply which if you look in max ccc tables you’d think a 25mm would be sufficient

Understood 👍

God knows but it worked 🤣

@@sotaelectrical It'll Just be 100 Mb/s ethernet rather than 1000Mb/s you could have used only 1 pair and got 10Mb/s

@@jeffreydoujon638 thanks for the info

👊

I’m not over knowledgeable with comms wiring so I need to do some learning, appreciate all the tips I have received on here

How would they end up with voltage on them, explain that to me

@@sotaelectrical they are in a mixed voltage enclosure at garage end. A fault occurs they end up with more voltage on them, that ends up at router and all devices including POE?

@@guyrumsey5023 but how would a fault occur??

@@sotaelectrical I don't know perhaps any of the scenarios identified by IEC? It's unlikely but possible.

@@sotaelectrical i think this comes down to seperation of class 1& class 2 cables creating induced voltage. Data in 230v enlosures is something thats always played on my mind. Great vid & educational as always.

No question is a stupid question, it’s called a runpotek cable roller 👍

@@sotaelectrical thanks a million - guess what Im going to buy myself now!!!!!

Last week i was doing a 1 man job pulling cat 5e off a drum between the basement and 3rd floor - lets just say I got a month of steps in that day. This would have made my life so much easier!!!!!

@@collsoftlimited7218 it’s not the cheapest but it is brilliant

@@sotaelectrical time is money and that would have saved me a huge amount of time and made things a lot easier

The harvi is not used for Ethernet buddy

Yeah sorry about that mate

Ok mate on it

Are the CT cables stranded? I was under the impression jelly crimps are like IDC, only for solid core.

@@tschubb1992 the CT’s are stranded

@@tschubb1992 they still work perfectly fine and use them more for the connection of the Ethernet cable

Jelly crimps are the answer here. I would have loved if the additional Cat5e worked so that the owner could install a switch in the garage in the future and get full gigabit. Nice if they want to add wifi or a smart tv in the future. But I'm an IT guy.

Yeah I have to get one!! I know mate, shocking that split load boards are going in and it was a mess!! Thank you mate 🤣🤣👊👊

@@sotaelectrical customer was ex spark clearly seen the light our games had it.

Thank you, no you will still be able to use the charger

@@sotaelectrical Thanks👍.

I don’t know what that is 🤣

No more needed

It would burn out pretty quick. Have to say I’m not overly keep to put Cat5 etc inside a CU. There is a anti fire suppressant that you can but that is intumescent material under pressure inside a low melting point container so I’d be tempted to recommend that just in case. However the cat5 would be inside insulation and each pair cable is also insulated. So it’s unlikely but not impossible.

No, you’re not. There has to be separation. But these are CT sensors, so not strictly for a data network. However, if they are sharing the cable for network.. you’re right, it’s bad deployment, esp with joints right next to the bus bar. It wasn’t the guys intention though, so not sure what he ended up doing. I’d think CT’s can share the cat5/6 cable.. LAN etc can’t

Thank you mate really appreciate that 👍

The 10mm went in the garage C/U not the charger, I had a 6mm from the garage C/U to the charger so they needed joining.

The cables were all tied together
