He'd for sure find a way to "crank it up stupid!"

You're right he would say hold my beer I'm fixing to crank it up to way stupid and laugh because that is what he does don't get me wrong I like his channel I like how he pushes things and teaches at the same time but he is not a electrician nor should he be around that size of box

@@chrisharlin4895 He is far more qualified to do what he does than an Electrician.....Far more

Andy would say we going to crank it right up till it pops---- I popped it he would say

"We've popped eit..."

In UK, this is so different to US...Not even in the same ball park. Your "Industrial" is for us a 600-800 amp multi-dwelling service and even that is far more intricate. I love to watch how stuff is wired in different countries incase I ever move.

@@vlad1889 and my industrial would supersede yours. Try working on Mercury arc rectifiers 👏👏👏

You know what you tell 'the boss' that wants you to do sub-standard work and ignore obvious wiring code violations without addressing the matters? (multiple issues still present after the feed to a new DB installed) You know what you tell the guy that quoted the job and failed to include addressing an unsafe installation, and then expected another tradesman to turn a blind eye to the flaws?

@@BTW... what do you tell them?

Meanwhile Im weary of working on my small 24v system

low or high it doesnt matter dont fuck around with any of it. in saying that this is still considered low voltage because its only 3 phase but high amps.

I promise you dont need that many exclamation points but at least i get how much you like this video

Yeah. Many years ago a driving instructor told me, "assume every other driver is having a really shitty day". I'm the only one in the house and I *still* check with the meter right after I am 100% sure I just turned off the correct breaker.

The CT metering wiring should have been totally removed and redone properly. Whoever installed that was a hack and had no idea what Standards apply to such circuits.

At least stateside, it's a literal nightmare getting to the point where you're doing this sort of thing. Unless you're a licensed master electrician, you're going to be stuck doing most of the crappy parts of this kind of work. For every little comparative money, for a very long time. It takes longer in the US to become a master electrician than it does to become a nurse. He also cuts out most of the really unpleasant parts. Like getting the cabling in place, or cut. Not to mention doing this sort of work when it's 85+ degrees Fahrenheit and 90% humidity is plenty to get a lot of people out of the field pretty quick. Why would you WANT to work in godawful conditions for average pay at best?

@@Ornithopter470 simple answer: because you see what you have done at the end of the day... I only create a bunch of paper/data and hopefully every half year or so an actual finished design step, which is then printed and produced. Start to finish usually takes us - in my field of work - about 3 to 4 years. Its very hard to see progress in that kind of environment.... so most days are full of work and meetings that leave you brainfucked and you can't tell what was acomplished. don't get me wrong: I enjoy my job, its interesting, challenging, pays well and actually fun, most times. but getting home after only a couple of days, having finished something good looking as this, just lets you sleep better. and ultimately, this is sometimes more important, then making a little extra money. Also: Obviously I can't speak for the US, but in Europe (UK, Germany, etc) this kind of work actually doesn't pay that bad and its easier getting to a point where you are a master. There is a huge shortage of labour workers here and thus they can make quite big prices these days - so: get over here and enjoy the craft as its supposed to be :)

@@Ornithopter470 This is why you join the IBEW and go through the apprenticeship program.

I am quite aware of the IBEW's apprenticeship program. It's still pretty awful.

@@Ornithopter470 What local are you? 10,000 hours of training plus 64 hours of college credit all while getting paid is not awful.

I’m pretty good at heating systems, but this stuff I wouldn’t have a clue lol

Good luck; I in Romania, gathered some chinese 18 tons pres, wich, cyabi bend to 240; It says it should crimp 300, so... take care!👍

That's where a good set of hydraulic crimpers comes in handy.

Hi Nick, trying to understand a bit better. Why do the phases and Neutral/earth have continuity in the 10 point test? Like you said the HV was isolated, but on the LV side of the trany, even if each of the phases were isolated, wouldn't there be no continuity between the points he tested?

Morley, that was a sad day for the industry, has brought some interesting changes to work practices.

Got a picture on my phone of a board that blew in the night got a a call out next morn to take a peek, one side the fuse was loose and making a arc less than a 1mm but it grew and got hot then ended the panel took around 15mins start to finish

BS

This is the most condescending bullshit. There are lazy people with terrible workmanship in every age group.

Jesus. What are you learning from Photonic Induction? How to hoover up during a fire? 😁

@@OJHussick lmao well or what not to do

You’ll only get a really good arc flash if you’re using ACBs of similar that are not fault limiting, once there’s a fuse in the circuit the energy let through is very limited.

yep it's called spiking

We use a high voltage tester attached to a hot stick with the 40cal suit on but we are doing maintenance. Once zero potential is confirmed the ground chains go on.

did the ring get rejoined? if you had a split ring then you would have resilience against an HV fault as you could switch out the faulty section at the RMU's

Beats 12' steel spike and 2 guys in flash suits one with spike, the other with sledge hammer.

@@letsgocamping88 - SSE put in an HV joint where ringmain units were to complete ring

Would be even more than 2kW, if cos phi is 1 and p=root3*U*I (cos phi probably isn’t 1 though, depending on what its powering)

Carriers have 13kV distribution these days. It's nuts.

Has to be Cory this comment haha

Unfortunately very common to find a new control panel with buzzing motor starters/contractors due to swarf. Here in the UK far too many electrical companies drill gland plates with hole saws while in place.

The problem comes with international markets. If you bought a product from hungary and wanted to put a new plug on it, in the UK, in the US, in Russia and some of the balkan you would have made the chassis live because our red was earth while others used that for lives. Colours were absolutely all over the place. Also blue has been neutral for a good portion of europe since the early days, that really doesn't work well. These are the things that resulted in the current system.

@@whatevernamegoeshere3644 The problem is that the IEC standard colors are garbage. All of the colors are dark, and there is a very real risk of not just transposing phases but transposing a phase and neutral. I've seen old IEC color spec cable and distinguishing what wire is what is not easy. The old British colors (red/yellow/blue hots black neutral green ground) were much better. The American colors (black/red/blue hots white neutral green or bare ground for 120V/208V; black/red hots for 120V/240V single phase 3 wire; black/orange/red hots for 240V high leg delta; brown/orange/yellow hots gray neutral green or bare ground for 277V/480V; brown/purple/yellow hots for 480V high leg delta) are the best out there right now. White or gray neutral, green or bare ground, anything else may kill you.

@@randacnam7321 shamefully i have to admit in a rush on an events job with doors at opening 8am working in a dark cupboard i put phase to neutral and lets just say the client with a large array of tvs wasnt happy

@@randacnam7321 Quite frankly the US colour system is hot garbage so let's not even bring that up, most of all with cross-country compatibility. That's your opinion, okay, completely ignored what I said, that's fine but just think for 2 minutes. Like just for starters what if you end up with a UV damaged cable? Something can become white or grey in the summer sun of 10 years so it's an absolute no-go for a neutral colour, if it can be a faded live. Also yellow-green is the best thing for earth because that's the only patterned cable. Also blue and green fade the same way in the dirt and sun so you might end up with a blue live wire on earth then. Then there's monochromatic light, like old sodium lights where you cannot recognize colour, hue or saturation just brightness. There it will save your ass. You have no clue how colour or pigments work mate. All you want is colours that are mildly more convenient in the best possible case.

@@whatevernamegoeshere3644 In a lot of permanent building wire, ground isn't even insulated so fading can never be a problem. And our blue insulation is often a lot brighter than the blue used in IEC spec cable. The worst issue I've seen in fading is with yellow wire, and that is why 277V/480V uses gray as a neutral. Plus, American practice is to put wires where they can't easily fade. Even where they do, white and black are real easy to distinguish and red is still visibly pink. There are a lot of bright colors out there for wiring insulation, and one of my main greps with the IEC color spec is that they use none of them to contrast with the dark blue. And apply your LPS example to IEC colors: L1, L2 and neutral look identical. Even L3 may be hard to distinguish. The only thing I have no complaint about with IEC colors is the yellow green striped ground, and even then it could be improved as IEC spec says the stripe cannot twist around the cable. It should twist or at least have multiple smaller yellow stripes, as otherwise it can look like just green or just yellow in a bundle or loom.

There is no mistakes only human error ,good your still with us .

This is not HV.

It’s LV!

If you do that you end up over torqing the connections it reduces the friction of the threads allowing them to be tightened more if they were meant to have lubricant they would come from the factory with it on them

@@michaelryan3252 so how come nuts and bolts inside engines don't come loose. They are covered in oil permanently which penetrates the threads.

@@briwire138 they are specked to be torqued with oil its not about them coming loose its about over tightening a fixing you can put as much grease as you want on a bolt or nut after it's torqued and it won't loosen. Most manufacturers will give you a wet and a dry torque wet torque setting will be way lower.

Lubricated threads result in over torqued bolts, and if the connection is too tight you will deform the copper and in time create a high resistance and loose joint. ( if you don’t like the squeak get some ear plugs!)

@@residualcurrent From 60Hz Delta-Wye land here- I was surprised you 50Hz guys don't have lock-out tag-out rules, basically if YOU are working down stream from the [off] distribution Xfmr, YOUR [usually red] lock goes on the operating handle or door to get to the handle, YOU have the only key, thus preventing any stranger saying "huh, no power, i'll just turn it back on" while you're torquing inside the 2KA panel. If multiple workers are involved, a gang lock plate holds each persons lock and can't be opened until the last lock is removed. Thats always part of starting work safety briefings. Our 480V switchgear sure looks different even though it does the same functions - nice tour + fine work!

@@swsuwave In France you're mandated to pad lock everything you're working on.

@@zaxmaxlax in the US, you must use your lock, your key - I saw the grid worker put on their lock & gave their keys to the worker, but that's not ok here because the workers don't know where all keys in existence are, like if the grid people use a common key. All US safety approved lock-out/tag-out locks are keyed different so nobody but the worker can remove his/her lock. The lock cylinders have extra pins to allow manufacturing different keys.

@@swsuwave I think the keys in that brown envelope were to the locks on the HV disconnect.

@@swsuwave Well, such lockout rules do apply here and the UK. That lockout has been applied at the HV isolator and tag applied. The Supply Authority guy that disconnected did that.
