This is a real man's man. Not the extra garbage talk you hear on other instructional videos
straight to the point
Blessings! I'm from Jamaica 🇯🇲 thanks to this video I could disconnect, fixed and reconnect my electricity after a tree fell and damage my power line. I followed all your instructions and honestly I did it like a pro. I'm a welder by profession. First time doing what I did. But much appreciated info👍 I'm a fast learner.
As a retired electrical foreman, that was a first class job. 👍 The only rock I can throw is, " ELECTRICAINS SHOULD NOT WORK OFF OF ALUMINUM LADDERS" ! Please invest in a good fiberglass ladder.
sir i believe it's faded yellow fiberglass, have a nice day
@@florascent9ts After taking a closer look I believe you're right. That is a faded fiberglass ladder. I stand corrected.
It’s fiberglass. Nice job!
I have only one question:
What's an ELECTRICAIN?
JK a bit... Great comment though, that's an awesome tip.
I like the video too, that guy was easy to understand.
@@usahouses7589 It's an electrician who works off an aluminum ladder 😵💫🤣😂🤣
Am been a electrician for 7years now and you did a excellent job 😎 ⚡️ I never did like cutting power line wire but the way you did it give me the courage to do it ! Thank you sir 🇧🇸💪🏽
Awesome stuff. I'm in NY and i'm going to be doing my first solo, full service upgrade shortly. I know, fundamentally, what i'm getting into. But, it's always nice to watch someone do it first. Very thorough. Thank you!
This guy is great! For a "real world" tech, and not a RUclipsr, he explains everything perfectly and clearly.
One of my favorite electrical videos on RUclips. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Much appreciated.
Although in my electrical work I would do things a little different I think I just watched a highly competent electrician. He hit his marks on the money. Very nice work as far as I can see. I wish most of my work went this well.
Any chance for a Q&A with this gentleman? I've watched MANY videos on DIY electrical work and no one has come close to this man. Would make a great electrical teacher.
I like how he was very detailed, well spoken and very professional.
I wanted to give a standing ovation when he put the meter cover back on. Great job! Fun to watch.
Man this was informative. Great to have people learning alongside to ask clarifying questions. Great stuff
Beautiful. Not Dexter's first rodeo. Thank you Dexter, I learned a lot and great work.
Thumbs up: Utmost thanks and blessings! Meter and panel breakers have me clouded with questions, but you and your friends cleared ALL my questions.
I just learned a whole lots of info with out paying for a lot of Benjamins. Thanks my man and stay safe
Great video. As a commercial electrician, I appreciate the calm and direct manner he operates with.
Glad to see this, there are so many HIGH paying jobs that are empty needing folks to fill. We need to have more Votech training at an early age like the last couple years of high school get folks understanding the basics of major trades such as an electrician.
Dexter, i really enjoyed your video, years ago, i used to help a licensed electrician part time, and you did everything the same, except you did a way nicer job with hanging the weather head. Btw, you are an excellent teacher/instructor, thank you for posting and sharing.
I’m not hating on the video as I do this for a living and greatly appreciate seeing someone posting a video. Props to this guy for doing this so effortlessly. It takes nerve to be able to post your work and listen to a bunch of keyboard warriors hate on you. This has got me wondering, am I the only a-hole who torques every connection? Also I would say you do have to worry about cutting into the aluminum too hard.
Very safe job. Just want to add one point though. The little white aramid fiber strings that's wrapped around the jacket of the cable is there for one reason. You use it to pull backwards through the cable jacket so that you DO NOT ever have to use a box cut through your cable. It's a built in jacket stripper. Believe me when I tell you that all it takes is a pin hole in an insulator to have moisture start migrating in between the conductor and the wire insulation. You don't want that. That's one reason techs "meg" cabling sometimes; to find moisture from pin holes or cuts inside the cable. Still... you did a damn good job in splicing the new service head in.
I'm not sure what state he is in but I know in Massachusetts we do not use aluminum wire anymore. The other thing is electricians are not supposed to use aluminum ladders even though they can. I understand that when he says he's not grounded means he's not touching the ladder but it is much safer to use fiberglass or wood. But I believe he did a pretty good job illustrating and showing how to disconnect and reconnect a service line/drip Loop. Keep in mind no two people going to do the same job the exact same way. As long as they are safe that is the most important thing.
Sorry man, but not grounded it means u arent connected to ground.. and he's; and what he show is everything else than safe. just a tiny hole on his shoes and u'll see a nice flame
@@riccardoz2953 you are right, all it takes is a pinhole and current will flow
It is not an aluminum ladder - faded fiberglass
Great job bud. I hope the homeowners know how much money you saved them doing it this way.
Thank you Dexter. Good to see a pro give a nicely done job with excellent explanations and video.
I've been an electrician for a long time. Just a little advice that I'm sure you know 1st never work off an aluminum ladder Fiberglass only. The 2nd thing I would invest in a really good pair of rubber gloves it can save your life As for the work you did great job
hes not dead god lioks after idiots and drunks
Beautiful his execution was flawless. He also explained every step perfectly. I've just became a subscriber.
I like when he said...." I'm in the Hot Zone"
did the job like a boss man... fabulous electrician right there.
Dexter thank you for this video it was very helpful to me as a DYI'er. Good instructional video which you should do more.
I enjoyed watching this. I have absolutely no idea why
@Walkr Yeah am i sure you do everything in life by book right?! nothing but haters. always finding the bad in everything
Greetings, I learned a lot. Thank you.
Nice explanation of everything you’re doing and why. The work on a ladder scares me, but the explanations are very helpful!
i admit, i initially gave you a thumbs down for the very long disclaimer in the beginning. After watching all 37 minutes of your video I fully understand why you have that disclaimer. You did a great job! The students, if they are studying to be actual journeymen, well, if they're at that point where they're doing in the field training I feel they should have known more than they did. Just my .02. Again, you did a great job, stay safe!
@Walkr I was looking for your videos on how to do it properly but I don't see them. Did I miss them?
I’ve been a electrician for 22yrs and that guy scared me a few times
Then you better grow up.
@@ZAPATTUBE the guy is supposedly hooking up a hot service using no lineman/hot gloves for protection. In any experienced electricians book that is just asking to get yourself killed
The scary part is he’s teaching. The girl said something about in class.
the guy knows the theory how electricity works , maybe he should had mention that he's standing on a fiberglass ladder that keeps him isolate to ground.
I agree! 40 years Licensed electrician !
As an German, this is the most painful Electrician Video i have ever watched
Oh yeah, our high standards :D greetings from GER
@@Zimiorg those standards have a reason, one bad move and that guy is dead
@@PeterJurasek Yes i know, I love our German and European standards. I'm an electrician myself
@@Zimiorg mee too. US and UK electrical standards are a mess :D
Wollte ich auch gerade sagen Bruder. Bin zwar fast fertig mit der Ausbildung, aber ich bin echt froh das Deutschland ein besseres und sicheres Netz hat, auch mit Personenschutz und Berührungsschutz.
Wow!! Great job! Thankful for electricians!!❤
Excellent work! we have 240v from 1 hot line and neutral here in the UK, stay safe.
Dexter my man you did a great job but just a small advice. I am a fellow electrician 30 years and saw a lot of my friends very experience get fatal injuries from not even a service line . every day is different it takes a small millisecond when you are tired , distracted or lets say its not your day to get injured . a pair of rubber gloves is like what ? 100 dollars at amazon ? dont you think that they worth it? for you your loved ones to return safe home from work every day ? you said that you respect that part of work . if you really do just a pair of gloves . thanks and please no hard feelings . just from somebody who seen a lot!!!!!!!!!
That's exactly what I was thinking!
20 years certified journeyman in ca my company would fire you on the spot if they found out you we’re not wearing hot gloves
Aluminum ladder and gym shoes. What a professional.
So True!
Looks to me like a fiberglass ladder with aluminum steps.
Dumb and Stupid.
haters gonna hate 😂
@@justinanderson6084 people just don't see the good this guy is doing teaching these kids a trade
I am an Electrical Engineer from Baghdad. In Iraq we got leg to neutral 220 v/30 Amps (single phase), leg to leg 380v (3 phase)/ 60 Amps. its up to the customer to chose depends on Appliances used in his house.... specially the AC unit. thanks for the video.
i was in baghdad for 2 month in 2004. how's going with the jungle of fliing cables everywere? still programmed power shortage every day on?
Great vid. A no nonsense approach to tackling the job.
Thanks for the video. Keep up the good work.
My brother I pray that the Lord always protects you.....Safety 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.......God Bless You!!
Man I wish he had more videos, explains everything perfect.
Great job. I loved your video and learned a lot. Please stay safe!
Interesting, in my city they require that the main cable be in a rigid conduit. So much of what you did is different than local regulations in my city. We are not allowed to touch the meter at all and if we are going from 100amp to 200 amp we have to upgrade the meter box to a 200 amp box. The way you are doing it you seems like you wouldn’t need to pull a permit.
Nice video tho. It’s just different from what I’m aware of.
I’m a new electrician apprentice watching your videos haven’t done my first real big job yet or any new construction. Hopefully I can get a chance to put my new skills to the test.
Great job. I've watched a couple of these and appreciate the narration.
That was great focus not only to the job but the directive of teaching as well
1 of the MOST informative instruction video I have seen in longtime..GREAT JOB
It was.
@Walkr I said informative not Safest.. So many videos just show work without step by step n not only electrical videos
@Walkr can you elaborate?
Everything about this is just so wrong haha. Did he just cut live wires with those non insulated gloves and strip it with a utility knife? WTF! Haha.
Stripping the hot side at the end with a utility knife almost gave me a heart attack. Lol
metall ladder, no guard glothes, no protection, wires hot. here is so many wrong.
@@blaub4r ladder is fiberglass, just really old.
@@bmich281 thanks for pointing that out, I was really questioning how this guy seems elequent and professional but was doing something so stupid baha
He did it without dying but those wires were swinging around quite a lot.
Very educational, stay focused but explain what he was doing. 👍👍2 thumbs up. For video and the way he explained his work.
Btw for all you haters, he is licensed and knows what he’s doing. He’s just doing it this way.. well because he can. Lol
If he got caught doing this he wouldn’t have a license anymore, assuming that he has one
@@pgood7266 he will never get caught.
Locochoco that’s what they all say lmfao, everyone gets caught eventually, that’s why you should just learn how to do things properly
Please keep in mind that just because you have a license does not mean that you're always doing it the right way. I clean up a lot of mess that a lot of licensed electricians and master electricians create I use the same analogy that everyone who has a license to drive does not necessary to know how to drive if they're not following the rules of the road.
"Perfectly Done," Well Instructed...
Great job,
Going to have to do some laundry after watching this. I shit my pants more than once
i would have no concerns having this man working on my homes electrical wiring..i had this same electrical work done at my home last year..the guys who did it didn't really want me to watch while they did the work..they did a great job..but with this video, i know now what was involved in changing the wiring..
You are right, he is good.
He’s Good no lie , love how he makes people work .
All in all, a good job. Not quite sure how I got here, but it was a good video.
good job? yeah. for your standard.
Great Video, they should be showing this in all the electrical schools!
Wao very good explanation....thank You I learned a lot.
as an apprentice I was really looking at him cut those live wires and making the splices up. You can tell he s a pro he stripped those HOT conductors like a boss and wasn't timid with them. If I were in his spot I would probs be shitting myself hahaha. I also likeed how he explained all and grabbed the live wires like a snake ahhaha.
In my area you have to call the electrical company to disconnect the lines from the pole to the home.
Here In Houston we have to give em a call too for when we do a panel/meter upgrade.. they always give an estimate for arrival but I usually start my panel upgrade while hot, then when I know they're 5 10min away I take off the socket and take out the load side wires, same thing when upgrading the meter box and riser cut at the their connections and do my shit.. by the time they're there to.connect I'm already done.
It all depends on the area and the authority having jurisdiction.
A true careless electrician .............
Great video, very professional instructions.
2:09 "I'm not grounded." You're standing on an aluminum ladder that's sitting on the ground. You are for sure enough grounded my brother and those rubber soled kicks aren't going to do squat to keep all that juice from finding its way to ground through you.
The ladder is not aluminum lol it just look that way, its fiberglass faded yellow that looks like it's aluminum but it's not.
@@FCES_Electrical_Sol That is definitely an aluminum ladder.
@@timd9430 its definitely not , I've worked with him a year ago , I've used the exact same ladder in the video 20 times , it's not aluminum,
@@FCES_Electrical_Sol alright bro, you win! ; )
@@timd9430 I'm not trying to win my man lol , whats your Facebook I can send ypu pictures of us working together and pictures of the ladder , its just faded it was yellow years ago , no fight towards you, I'm just being honest , thats all,
Should have used pipe for the riser. SE looks like shit going up the house.. AND IS THAT AN ALL ALUMINUM LADDER? I hope not
Its fiberglass but i thought the same thing. These people dont need a play by play unless Im missing something. DIY plumbing videos are fine because if you do something wrong it will leak. DIY service line stuff is all around a bad idea. "The man on youtube cut it but when I cut It barefoot from the ground i got the fireworks"
Pipe? Plumbers work with pipe. Electricians prefer CONDUIT.
GOTTEM
The pipe is required only in some states by code but in some states they allow you to do it that way the job is well done. The only thing that you have to take more care of such as using another type of gloves and a fiberglass ladder and ready to not have much risk but otherwise it was fine
@@corlettowem1978 The job for what it's worth was done well, but still illegal and very unsafe.
Thankyou for good explanation
Great teacher
I wanna know where tf can u not use conduit , especially for a service ? 😂 even if its a sealed connector . Doesnt make sense . Other than that good video . “ omg why dont u have a 60000000000 volt proof full body suit with a power company engineer present and osha on site “ . Get real ppl 😂😂😂 its residential service
yea you need conduit i mean im in the field and never ever have i not used conduit doing this. he also cuts to himself thats a no, and also in what world would he not even have a pouch for his tool like huh
See it all the time it's not a new thing. It's actually rated for this.
I agree more protection with conduit = longer life (for your wires and anyone accidentally cutting it)
New Jersey
I never saw a service without a mast or conduit this guy just runs a wire. sure is easier may be ok in Cuba.
Dexter is doing this on the Down Low, when the original service was installed code didn't require conduit. Since he didn't call for the disconnect or get a permit ,he's hoping everyone will think it's still the old service
In Cuba they don't have electricity
I live up here in Boston Massachusetts and there is no way they would allow us to do a service without no Mass. The mass has to be away from the building at least an inch. I'm pretty sure he's not following the National Electric Code
@@externalaffairsporter Don't need a service mast per code, he ran SER, it's acceptable. AHJ has the final say in any situation but it is code compliant. This is just regarding the service entrance.
@@jman210210 Yes you are right. Up here in Boston Mass we have to put the wires in 2 inch pipe or tubing as long as it is rated for outside service it should be perfectly fine
Great job and great video. My only bit to add would be that you probably are required to use a torque wrench to set the lug screws for red and black of the service line when securing in the meter box.
Nice explanations of what was done. Thanks.
An aluminum ladder?
I never use a service cable, always use conduit either pvc or ridged
think hes keeping it to OG code so no one realizes it was worked on with no permit maybe
Outstanding Job!! Bravo Semper Fi and Can Do OORAH
Bravo! 👏 amazing job
Eh its 220V in the industrial world we regularly work live on voltages way higher than this . About the thing I would fault him on is the lack of PROPERLY RATED gloves and decent boots. He seems like he knows what he is doing.
It's america what do you expect LOL
What about when he was stripping the live wire with an uninsulated utility knife?
@@CytoplasmicGoo or the non rated crimper
Except that he’s on an aluminum ladder, has ZERO PPE, and acts like the neutral wire coming from the pole is safe.
This guy should NOT be doing electrical.
this raised my BP
Good job explaining.
Thank you.
Excelente. Perfeito trabalho. Gostei do jeito que desligou o cabo da rede. Antes passou fita isolante depois cortou e continuou passando a fita. Parabéns!!!!
dope demo i am happy to see our people getting that real learning on
Pretty much everything he did was wrong, if he got caught cutting a service line like that he’d immediately lose his license and face serious fines assuming he has one, and If he doesn’t have one he’d be facing jail time
@@pgood7266 why lol
Great video brother there are somethings I would’ve done differently, but overall I approve.✅
THAT'S RIGHT.
YOU NEED TO GO BACK THROUGH THE APPRENTICESHIP.
Very nice work. And you explained each step.
Grade A! saving this for later. solid.
why did you not have to use the deox on the connection up top when reconnecting the line?
aluminum to aluminum is not needed, only when u connect with copper.
If you look closely at 28:31 you can see that the crimps actually come with anti- oxidant already on the connecting surface inside the crimp. My company regularly uses these types of crimps and they come with plenty so that when crimping there is actually excess that will squeeze out the ends once they have properly been crimped.
Okay first couple secs in I see the ladder so I already know where this video is headed.
It's NOT aluminum so don't worry. Fiberglass ladders look like that when the company you work for refuses to by new ones after years. It's an itchy sum-a-bish but not aluminum.
Great Work 👍🏽👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽
How did you use machine screws like that’s, don’t machine screws have a flat end?
It's always a good idea to work shit hot on an aluminum ladder.
Even better if it was raining.
I can't believe dude video recorded this shit!!!!
I couldnt believe it
I was wondering why it was aluminum and not fiberglass non-conductive........
It's fiberglass!!!!
Nice, I learned some stuff.
All my respect to those engineers. Thanks very much for all the professional hard work.
he's not an engineers. and as he's doing not even a qualified electrician ... he is not grounded on a metal ladder over ground without any protective equipment. lol
He's using a fiberglass ladder, faded yellow as pointed out in another comment.
Just so everyone knows, it's a fiberglass ladder. Lol Not aluminum.
;-)
Lol
Sure that's what they all say.
Electrician: To buy a new seal instead of a new connector.
This electrician: * Subtle nod of approval *
Yep
i have only watched the first five minutes but I am already learning a lot from this. at my trade school, we have been learning a lot about service entrances and while I do enjoy it, I tend to learn better when watching the real deal be worked on rather than reading it from a book
You will learn more working with a Pro for a month, than you will reading the books for a year.
@@ZAPATTUBE ; more like 4 years !! Most Apprenticeships are for 4 Years !!! Classroom and OJT !!!
Wow young brotha, very nice tutorial. Love watching it.
LMAOOOOO
I think it's great that Dexter McGhee took his time to teach them kids
@Walkr That's just a matter of opinion, he got the job done & it works plus the kids learn something
@Walkr Safety is a matter of opinion, to someone unskilled and a amiture ,somethings might seem unsafe .Dexture is the kind of person America needs more of willing to take his time to teach our youth a trade
@Walkr If Dexter went by Osha guidelines either he couldn't afford to get the equipment he needs or the customers wouldn't be able to afford him to do the jobs, he saved this home owner $50.00 by not pulling a permit and probably another $100 by not losing any food in the fridge , if he pulled the permit ,he then would have to have it inspected & that would have taken 2 or 3 day with a big loss of the home owner's food
Where i live when you do service maintenance you have to call your electrical provider and they will disconnect the power to the house from the pole and a inspector is a must.
What this guy is doing is insane.
Same here. I’m from NC and that’s what we have to do
here the lineman cut it lives and taped it up. then our electrician did this thing then they came back and crimped it lives. at the poled 5 houses are on the same transformer so they didnt want to kill it there
Death Death Death Stop this video! Stupid people, not thinking will die.
If I got caught cutting the lines to the mast I would lose my license
This guy is in Dayton Ohio
For anyone saying you need conduit:
Read the NEC on service entrance conductors
True, but I think most people frown upon this because the NEC is a “D” at best -the bare minimum. On a bad day some inspectors would probably stick their noses up at this.
Amazing work❤❤❤❤
Code requires that the service head gets 1strap within a foot down from service head then from service head down it gets straps every 2 foot :) at least here in maryland it does ps : dexter you need a pair of circle cutters lol
Would it have been best to wear protective gloves ?
Almost as bad as his work boots
Those gloves HAVE leather palms. I use the same thing.
@@ZAPATTUBE those gloves will not block an electrical current
@@HHSCOMTECH For the level of voltage he is working with YES. Don't knock what you don't about
@@nathanielreid4967 Those gloves are not rated at >330v and neither are his bare arms.
