Watched up until he was meggering live cables

Who does that I dunno

Haven't watched the video to see exactly what he was doing, but there's nothing particularly unusual about testing of live cables with a MFT. Same applies in IE.

IR testing live cables?

IR testing live cables?

No idea - the term 'meggering' could equally apply to any test conducted with a Megger or other brand of MFT, some of which are conducted live.

Was it an (attempted) IR test on live cables?

 

[Mikegh]

I meant IR testing live cables

I didn't watch it too closely either

 

[nicebutdim]

Have to watch now

Also have to type more words

Usually means IR testing though. But fair point.

Indeed, but it seems to be widely used as a collective term for any test conducted on an MFT.

Not watched the entire video, but skipping through I see a tester first appear at around the 12 min mark and it's set for loop impedence testing.

He talks about IR tests of the light fitting that stopped working, but I only noticed him doing loop tests in the video too.

I only saw images, so wasn't aware of what he'd previously mentioned. Still, settings are fairly clear to see on the video.

Del on a recent Eicr , he really does get the worst jobs

As long as terminations are correct and showing no signs of overheating, CPC's are present and visual continuity is confirmed...and that barriers & enclosures are intact...

Oh dear, just started watching this one, 1:27 in and he spots no earth to metal switch ... calls it a C1... doesn't mention the cpc has clearly been used for 2 way.... maybe he will in a minute, just paused to post

Edit
That was a tough watch....

 

[Petej999]

The obvious one that springs to mind was him taking down a wall and then jointing cables in a wago box and ----ing it up into the ceiling and calling it MF. The materials and method he used did not constitute a MF junction box. I politely noted it on his comments and he removed the comment ?

Yes agree he don't like any critic

 

[Petej999]

He has been a sparks for over 40 years so I don't think his experience is in question ...

He is fom my era

Seems like a nice bloke, but Electrician , NAH

 

[Zerax]

Yes agree he don't like any critic

I think it's his son who edits out the comments he doesn't like... Not sure Del would even look at them. His son got him going with all the recordings in the first place if you look at the earliest vids.

 

[GLENNSPARK]

I wonder what this "Del" bloke would think of the 38 joint boxes I pulled out of the ceilings in 2 rooms at a job I were at recently...?
Considering he likes stuffing joints into stud walls...
