Boomer not a problem. That’s the reason I made this video. I am uploading one now for 200a install. It’s so hard to find true install videos from the field. There’s plenty of manufacturers videos but no end user install videos. I am trying to share knowledge of the trade for people like you so you can practice using the tips and tricks we use. Good luck!

Family Steel thanks for the support. I’ve been doing medium voltage work since 2007, I’ve spliced and terminated hundreds of cables myself and am fortunate to have been trained by some very skilled craftsmen. Everyone develops their own skill set and methods over time and that’s what’s makes them an asset. We take pride in our classroom and practical training we perform and stay current in manufacturers training and certifications. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, as am I, but I am just showing how I do it.

Check out my 35kv Dead break elbow install - some pretty large Concentric Neutral cables focusing on grounding and bonding of the cables

+Jacob Young, give me a shout at blackstardiversifiedentp@gmail.com. We have a 15kV installation, and we need to hire your expertise.

Thomas Herdman your absolutely right. As a working electrician you can get complacent in the field especially when it comes to chemicals and solvents you may use on a regular basis. We use some pretty bad stuff every once in a while, but this cleaner we use doesn’t seem too bad. But, I reviewed the SDS for the solvent we use, and you drive a very good point home, the stuff is NOT good for you. I typically do use a pair of nitrile gloves when cleaning the cables but not in this particular video. Also, the grease pack in the mouth- not my brightest move. All bad habits of the trade picked up that have been broken. This video is several years old at this point, I’ve had a lot more experience and practice at the craft and are a little more responsible than shown. I do appreciate the compliments and appreciate the insight. I will take your comments to heart and pass on the true concerns to my other splicing comrades.

Thomas Herdman I just double checked our product, we use Rainbow brand PowerSolv, which is an Aliphatic Hydrocarbon, it’s way less harmful to health and not a know carcinogenic. The CP type solvents (typically aerosols) are as close to a 1,1,1 Trichloroethane as permitted which would be immensely more hazardous. We shy away from those solvents due to the amount of use expose ourselves to. Nonetheless, still not good stuff to be careless about

Shawn Campbell these were actually tails to be splices onto a lead to poly trifurcation splice in a manhole, the tails would be landed on 600A junction bars installed in the manhole. The site was in the process of removing lead feeders and changing over to EPR type cable set by set. We couldn’t pull out all of the lead at once, there were miles of it. The job was set up into phases.

Not quite

You forgot the word "awful".

Matthew Foster looking back retrospectively, the music scene was pretty bad at the time... I may pull it down and change it with some simple loop or something lol
