Is that Spiderman doing an electrical install?

from my experience grounding cable should be installed first due to avoid unexpected thing happen during installation
How I was taught/trained. From device to the box, ground always first.
You start makeup at the rear of the box. Has nothing to do with it being ground.
Thats why you need to carry padlocks and secure everything you're not currently working on, do not trust even your own mother.
@@zaxmaxlaxthey just go two extra step... not trusting the padlock and themselves.
Your Obviously not very Experienced then.
That's some thicc cable
Nahhh life begins at 630mm² 😂
@@rcermelowas gonna say 285 was pretty tough.
@@rcermelodon’t forget leaving it in the cold weather all night after you’ve pulled it in 🥴🥲

@@rcermelo is this a bus bar cross section?
Yep. Never forget to put the cable gland dome on the cable BEFORE you put the cable in the panel.
A nice clean install. I particularly like the grounding wire wedged in between the connector & compression collar. Looks very sound & effecient.
Nice to see some slack in the inclosure !
All the gear.. The state of those gloves though 😂
Those gloves are proper poked 😂
Screw doing yoga these videos are my meditation routines
Nice service loops!
The loops are cool
А почему на многожильные провода не одели наконечник, прежде чем вставлять в автомат?
Потому что в автомате зажимает не болт, а скоба, там наконечник не нужен.
A long time ago now. I am going on 71.
I used to use a plumber pipe tool for ringing off the covers of both the outer and inner coverings. Worked perfect at the time.
Like a pipe wrench?
А разве провод перед тем как его зажимать болтом не нужно облудить или с начала обжать на нëм наконечник?
Проводник второ класса в этом не нуждается
Он не правильно делает.. Ждем отгорания контактов...
@@user-dl8ch8uh7s долго ждать будешь, если думаешь, что умнее их норм, можешь им написать
мне кажется для таких толстых проволок это уже немного неактуально, сложно будет их даже надломить закручивая от руки
фактически они той же толщины, что какой-нибудь ввг 1.5кв.мм
@@folcrams2993а что есть 2 класс? где можно про это почитать?
That plastic/metal gland looks neat never seen them before
My hands are cramping just watching
Give this man a raise so he can buy new gloves:)
In the States we use SEU cable for main panels quite a bit. Instead of terminating the “shield” at the entrance clamp, we bring it into the panel, twist it and land it on the neutral busbar. Same result, less work.
Same way I was taught to do it. Not what he did lol.
What you're talking about is a neutral screened cable, not armored. Two different kettles of fish.
@@MrIdiotkiwi Love that expression about kettles of fish 🤝
True, but in theory you can terminate it the same way - clamp it over the entire sheath where it enters the enclosure, then, inside the enclosure, peel back the screen, twist it and terminate it to the enclosure. Yes, I know, that's not how it's done, but IMHO it would make for a more reliable electrical connection. I can see the shield working itself loose from under the clamp the way it's installed here.
Сальник со специальным контактом под заземление - это круто!
вещь
Ага. Подозреваю что специально под такие кабели делался.
holy mother of Chicago this is almost as beautiful as a fully restored 1969 Mach 1
Looks perfect!
Excelente profissional 🇧🇷🤝
I love the videos! Amazing the work. Get new glove man :)
Skillfully done!
Good work.
I Like the grounding simplicity now a days though.
Why does all this stuff look like plastic toys now?
That’s some serious cable 👌
Clean work 👍🏻
Man audience (dam that looks impressive)
Woman audience (listening to the intense breathing)
Beautiful
Hahaha, I love the globes with destroyed fingers haha.
This guy know that yea, is secure use gloves but men is hard wouldn't hate those when you're trying to do precise things or take small pieces, is brilliant cut just the point of the globes haha, i love that.
It's amazing how often you see SWA, SY and CY cables incorrectly terminated using normal plastic glands!!!
I would leave the sheath on until it has been pushed through the hole in order to minimise the risk of damaging the cores
How many times you watch this.?
Neat. Might have done this before. 👍
Good job!
Nice
The earthing banjo should be bolted through the casement of the enclosure, and a brass bolt used for cable lug connection IMO
Looks so much easier than it is 😂
I love wiring up some high amp wire, thinking the things imma power with this
Those gloves are looking a little rough my dude
Nice little bending radius there 😂
Use a 4 core for f sake all that work and the Zs is to high,
and the metal sheath will rust/deteriorate anyway so can’t really be reliable in the long term
I’ve taken out 32mm 5c armoured cables that have been in for 30 years with no rust just a little discolouration in the steel, all depends on if they’re installed correctly and the board is installed in a dry location as intended
That armour is so unnecessary..
Hacksaw.. Stanley.. cutters... fk all those other money making waste of time...
Ppl saying these are big cables... 😂😂😂
I do up to 4 core 240's and must say an exhaust cutter is a game changer. (For the better) wish I learned or thought about it sooner. (Saw it on Jointech a year or so ago)
That knife is my go to for all my SER cable.
What knife is it?
KNIPEX 9855. They call it a dismantling knife.
what is the highest voltage ⚡ that is gonna run on those 😕??
I used to work in a wire mill putting armor on them
🤔interesting. In North America our 'Armoured' cable has an actual metal armour and the ground is a seperate bare wire in the middle.
Just cool to see different methods
Yes I'm aware USEB has a similar concentric neutral but I was speaking about 'armoured' cable
We have both. Problem with the armour being the earth is if it gets damaged and rots then your earth is screwed but we all use it
Perfect 👌
Wouldn't putting a ferrule at the terminal be better?
That's What I Was Thinking Also ???
Ferrule shouldn't be used on solid wire, only good for multi strand flexible soft wire
Efixx have a whole section of their site explaining this. It keeps coming up and people think that any cable that’s got strands in has to have a ferrule. There’s different classes of cable and this isn’t one of the classes that’s required to have ferrules. The strands do sometimes “relax” over time but that’s partly why the eggheads give us torque settings. They’ve done the hard work for us 😉
I see now why american housing is so expensive, half of your houses weight is in copper. And the other half is in insulation foam. I'm almost glad i live in my country so i dont have to deal with astronomical housing prices, though the consequence is that i have to do all of the electricals myself since many (not all but many) electricians here have no clue how to wire a house, and have no concept of grounding.
Case of point, bought two split type aircon's, one from panasonic and another from daikin, the panasonic came with a skilled team of electricians that did a wonderful job of grounding my indoor and outdoor units to their dedicated breakers and then to the bus bar of my main circuit box. Then some clowns showed up to install my daikin and only installed it with positive and negative cables, no ground whatsoever.
So now my daikin gets a blinking yellow error light every so often and i have to reset the breaker its connected to just to get it to work again. Meanwhile my panasonic has been working flawlessly all this time (except lately since the outdoor unit cant fight against 45°c heat waves).
Kerja bagus dan mahir lagi
Hardest thing about swa cable is remembering to put the shroud on first
I personally won't use those plastic armoured gland's as I don't think you can get them tight enough without destroying the plastic to get a really good earth bond.
Storm glands are fantastic but that banjo still look flimsy, I hex lock nuts with side allen key grub screws are better.
Great job but......😢misiing bacon cob and cuppa coffee!😅😂
Time to check the comments for all the master electricians
Where is that blue neutral? Or is that a Euro tx?
Без наконечников многожилку использовать у нас нельзя
Всё правильно сделал , там будет подключена токо 1 лампочка на 5 ват. Ничего не от горит.
I was doing some steel wire armoured glanding 17 years ago,I wonder why no one has employed me to do that since ?
Can we have something other that SWA? Some 25mm YY in winter? Or some SY terminted properly in its appropriate surroundings?
What are you using those cables for?
@@deang5622 YY I've used plenty where SWA isn't required. SY I've never used...
@@Pieman2008iNYY is quite nice but if you’re still struggling, use some H07rn-f and ferrule the ends. Super flexible stuff
@TheAviation101 used H07 for inverter connections, but 25mm is often a pig to strip, SWA would be easier, but u can't get the bend radius.
Do I understand correctly - is it power supply and metal screen of the cable works as PEN leader? Or it's supply to some unit which doesn't require N?
It's a 3 phase install using the sheathing for earth, most 3 phase applications if balanced correct never need a neutral, like motors just balance across the phases rather than phase to neutral, hope this helps.
@@RedwoodRepairs thanks for your answer!
I guess I didn't formulate the question correctly. I mean If you need to power for example consumer unit, which naturally needs the neutral can one us such a cable with PEN? Can the sheathing of the cabe work as PEN or it can be just the protective ground?
@alekseyshumilov2304 if you do the calculations correctly but even then sometimes a supplementary earth will be run along side. I prefer not to use the armour as a conductor.
@alekseyshumilov2304 , theoretically yes the sheathing could be used as a neutral or a tied earth, just like how power suppliers use hybrid lines, live surrounded by neutral armour, but in practise I wouldn't use this, as four and 5 core swa doesn't cost much more and is much more reliable.
@@alekseyshumilov2304 technically yes it could be done as you suggest. But the majority of installations in the UK will seperate Neutral and earth throughout. Supply from the local public network often using a PEN / TN-C-S /PME layout.
What make and model of gland?
where do you get the ringing tool from ❓❓❓❓
The plumbing section. Electricians have no use for a tubing cutter. If you use it on conduit, you spend the rest of the day reaming out the burr.
What is this cable stripper?
nice😊
When did we start bending banjo s because we can't be assed drilling the metal enclosure ?
great
Right, even for the toy cable you are using, when you have scored the inner serving LEAVE IT ALONE then fit into the gland. THEN snap it back and remove. We'll have none of this ‘wraps a bit of tape around it malarkey' here
Storm glands are the dogs doo dahs.
What gland is that?
Обжимать наконечниками провод нужно ?
Я не знаю из какой они страны конечно, вроде инструмент профессиональный, сколько видео пересмотрел их они ниче не обжимают
Я думаю, что не обжимают, так как некоторые производители клемников под винт допускают соединение многожильного кабеля без обжима при соблюдении доп условий (марка кабеля, суммарное сечение жил, номинальный ток и тд), но не исключено, что ребятки просто положили болт. А про проф инструмент, так он у любого западного шабашника от книпекс или милвоки.
А вообще обратите внимание, что снимают на фоне плит osb, возможно это просто импровизированная студия и просто снимают красивые кадры без подробностей с рекламными целями. Большинство клиентов все равно не будут смотреть на нюансы.
@@ejlektruk_ обжимают, когда это необходимо. В данном случае клеммы оконечного оборудования предназначены для зажима кабелей без наконечников.
@@dedevg7841 они всегда в своих видео делают всё согласно требованиям местного законодательства и нормативной документации.
That 7 strand looks like horrible shit to terminate. So glad we have 19 strand
What kind of application would you use this cable? This doesn’t look like romex 😂
Alright... so... is that interference immune like will block out noise from external EM like geomagnetic storms, smps, etc?
Becauae that dude with an excavator will surely make a meas of that cable, ground movements in an earthquake might tear it to small pieces...
Where is the up-side versus sheet-iron armored cable?
So big and also scary
👍🏾
T H I C C CABLE™
That's not armored cable. That jacketed high voltage wire. Armored cable is a cable assembly inside a metallic jacket that has a plastic jacket on the outside. Google CLX cable
In the Uk it’s SWA - steel wire armoured
Man, look at all that copper.....
Why the shield cable ?
throws me off every time I see the grounds jacket had yellow and green on it
is that a coaxial ground, or just really heavy shielding?
The outer strands? It’s armour to prevent it being cut etc. also servers as ground conductor
@@techheck3358 yup, thats what I was asking, thanks.
so its both...cool. I've never worked with anything that big.
Faltou só os terminais.
I love third world electricians
I think is that a ug(underground cable )
👍👍👍
There is no N. Is it for a motor?
Looks like a motor control cabinet, so I would guess so, or some similar heavy 3 phase load.
Or a place that don't use neutral.
UK 3-phase power supply.
Interesting there is only one terminal screw holding them cables in.
И пять розеток на такой поставить 😂😂😂😂❤
Explain the purpose of the gloves for PPE that have holes in the finger tips? I know that's not the product you are selling in this video but it adds to the comedy of your channel. 😂😂
And that's the purpose of the gloves! 😂👍
@efixx bad jokes over safety? Definitely a shopping channel rather than a technical guide channel.
@@StevenFraser1980eat shit man you’re annoying
What about the Wire bending radius.
Why White plastic used inside ?
Из всего этого у меня есть только изолента 😊

Почему без обжимных клемм?
This cuttor tool link please hear
That’s either some future concept, not available yet shit, or it’s Europe.
Armoured cable?
@@techheck3358 those white connectors
без гильз и обжима? 😮
Where do you get the pipe cutter looking device you show in the beginning ?
SACS tool. SWA cable stripper.
Почему без гильз под винт ?
Я не Электрик но помоему нужна обжимка если много жильный провод.
I prefer metal panels...plastic to me seems dangerous to overheating and melting then fire.
