Pete's Videos Quite a competent Sparky I think

[telectrix]

Just think of him as Bear Grylls (minus yellow bottles)
Swings and roundabouts , Too soothing and mellow ,
and they become sleep inducing .

a bit like some posts on here.

Oooo you are awful.

Would there ever be a time where not terminating the earth is acceptable? I have worked with a NICEIC registered spark and when it came to extractor fans or plastic one gang switches where there wasn't a terminal he'd say just cover the whole earth conductor in sheathing. If it was a 2/3 gang switch or any switch with more than one cable we'd use connector blocks but I would of thought that you would still do that instead of just leaving it disconnected???

Where would you connect them if there no terminal?

In a connector block

He'd tell me to put them in a connector block if there were more than one earth in a switch but if there was just one then he'd say cover it in sheathing. I'm asking if that's alright?

No put it in a connector

I feel for him. He's clearly proud of his work to show it to the YouTubes.

Unfortunatley my first thought with the D.B. was "Where's the 'Safety Electrical Connection - Do Not Remove' label on the externally mounted M.E.T.?"

Then I realised I should probably be doing better things with my spare time and assess my life choices right now.
