Nice overview of a typical electrical drawing set. Like you noted, some designers don't show panels in the lighting plan - I personally like to show them on all plans for easy reference ( and using Revit nowadays makes it very easy to do so - you put a panel in your "model" one and it can show up on all plans ). Thanks for the video!
This is a great video. The video is simplest explanation i have found on blueprints.... I only needed to understand the basics and this covered 90% of what I needed. Thanks!.
Thanks brother means a lot learned more from you than i have from my own foreman. They always act like the new guys are so annoying and don't have time to teach us
You are very welcome! Stay tuned I’m going keep pumping out electrical specific video for every aspect of the trade from apprentice to journeyman- foreman- super- pm - owner . I want to my part to make the trade a little bit easier/ better for everyone. Don’t keep this info a secret share it please knowledge is power and iron sharpening iron. the better we are as a community the better we have a chance to bring more people to our trade
Short answer : is New Mexico ground isn’t very good at ohming because it is so dry here - longer answer: our state requires us to install two because most areas can not produce the min ohm resistance of 25 however if we had one more ground it make the difference needed. I’ll give you example I literally live on volcanic rock
Not bad comrade! Im a journeyman Electrician out of Phoenix, Az, being groomed to become a foreman. I was looking for something a lil more in depth, but I sort of enjoyed watching this video.
Good stuff. I had to apprentice for a foreman that couldn't follow the print properly. He kept doing his own thing and blaming everyone else and they wouldn't let me transfer. I remember he tried to throw me under the buss but I stood up for myself. That's not how this works he shouted! Every time he failed at building a transformer rack I had to shoulder the bundles of strut several flights up to a roof along with everyone elses material. I put up with it for months until my back got really sore. Did you know a conduit runners injury can inflame your spine? Know how to read your print for the love of all things sane know what you are doing and don't waste someone time! Going to remove this from my feed because all I get is PTSD when I think of electrical work these days haha.
@@WARHAMMERELECTRIC great looking forward to it. and maybe you could go over some real scenarios you would be tasked with getting done as a foreman or general foreman on this project.
@@WARHAMMERELECTRIC how about a video on making the head for wire pulls through conduit, conduit bending, conduit fill calculations, basically any of these will help. Thank you for your time.

This is the best video I’ve found on reading prints. Thanks man, it’s very informative 💯
Thanks brotha , any you want to see in particular
Thank you for the video. It was a quick one but a clear one. Starting print reading classes tomorrow.
Very welcome! Thank you for watching if you have any questions let me know
@@WARHAMMERELECTRIC okay, will do..
This is a great video. The video is simplest explanation i have found on blueprints.... I only needed to understand the basics and this covered 90% of what I needed.
Thanks!.
Your very welcome and I’m happy it helped
Can you make a video on lighting control and how it works with modules power packs and all components ?
Yes absolutely I’ll make sure and tag you on it when she is done
Great information I going to check to see if there's more
Appreciate that Patrick ! If there is anything else you would like to see let me know and I’ll do my best to get that information to you
I love this information. Perfect timing. Thank you sir
For inquiring minds, are heights to top of box, center of device, or bottom of box?
On plans, I would say top of box on at least the ones I have seen
Usually it'll say in the prints
This is great for estimators as well. Good job.

Thank you! Every electrician should try making a RUclips video showing how they do their job.

really looking forward to more similar videos
Thank you sir what would you like to see always trying to think of beneficial videos
Appreciate the video helped a lot!
Thank you ! I really appreciate it I’m doing my best to help out the next generation of sparky
Keep tuning in going to to be doing a whole series of videos that are tailored for foreman and less known knowledge
Can I have the pdf file to read through sir? Very informative thanks
Very helpful video! Thank you very much for your help
Thank you sir. very helpful video.
you mentioned 2 ground rods because it is in the desert. what is the purpose of that?
Short answer : is New Mexico ground isn’t very good at ohming because it is so dry here - longer answer: our state requires us to install two because most areas can not produce the min ohm resistance of 25 however if we had one more ground it make the difference needed.
I’ll give you example I literally live on volcanic rock
@@WARHAMMERELECTRIC ahh right. I did glance over the 25 ohm code. Very interesting, i did not know that. Thank you sir
@@moop_fogo you are very welcome thank you for watching

Thank you what were you looking for? Just out personal curiosity I been trying to make a new video
Electrical prints vary every job. This is a good generalization. I’d say you need to keep being “groomed” lmfao 😂

Do you offer any one on one training or similar at a fee
Great stuff 👏
thanks good job helps a lot
Thank you bro very helpful
Very welcome brother I hope you have a good day
Nice!
Thank you sir!
@@WARHAMMERELECTRIC are you able to host these blueprints on google docs or something so we can read them directly?
@@ericbader sure let me figure out how and done deal
@@WARHAMMERELECTRIC great looking forward to it. and maybe you could go over some real scenarios you would be tasked with getting done as a foreman or general foreman on this project.
@@WARHAMMERELECTRIC Hey! Did you figure out how?
Bring on the info !!
It’s a lot lol anything else you are interested in seeing ?
@@WARHAMMERELECTRIC how about a video on making the head for wire pulls through conduit, conduit bending, conduit fill calculations, basically any of these will help. Thank you for your time.
Absolutely! I start working on that . Thank you for your input
@@WARHAMMERELECTRIC no, thank you 👍🏻👊🏻
with 90 percent of contractors they never let you see the complete prints. they micromanage too much
Title 24 compliance
Rite on
Or they overwhelm you with apprentices and give you a tablet
