Ground bushing with the lay in lugs in your transformer.
I'm installing a 3phase transformer tomorrow and your vid helped me prep 👍🏽 thanks man
Love the channel and the daily vids .... I’m a junior in high school taking 4 electrical classes and in 2 years ima test for my journeyman’s and this videos have a lot of things I see in my daily scenarios so thanks a lot
Depending were you from your state requires certain work hours like 5,000 or 12,000
did you get your journeymans yet?
That's what a good electrician does fix other people's problems that's why they pay us the big bucks
lol
We don’t get paid big bucks where I’m at :(
Cool how they mount a bracket with a Wago screwdriver on it to the back panel if you need to do anything. Kinda like the fuse removal tool in the fuse box of you car
Good shit bro!
thanks!
Bro, don't let it getcha down. I've made a living fixing people's f ups.
It's been paying my bills since 1988. One thing about it, you got job security...
You can stick a tweaker in that small hole and the cabinet will open live
So, conection transformer step up star to delta ?
Wouldn’t drywall screws penetrate the panels
Looks like a temporary job. All that greenfield.
nope, permanant. For an elevator.
I need to step up 240v single phase to 480v single phase for a long run up a mountain on my property. And then a step down unit back to 240/120. I have a 15kva step down unit single phase, but locating a 240v to 480 step up has been difficult. Can one use a three phase unit and use 2 phases? Thanks for any input
i think i've seen a friend do it once but im not sure on the specifics on how he did it. hope this helps
If you’re running it 480 just because the voltage drop that is unnecessary. You could use a buck-boost transformer to compensate for that vd.
Please hire a licensed electrician.
Good!
Thanks
There no bonding bushing in the fransformer. Or in the disconnect
I'm aware 🙂
Personally I would have used insulated metallic grounding bushings in both the disconnect (considering it's 3 Phase) as well as the TRANSFORMER. And it looks like the load out side to the TRANSFORMER has no bushings at all.
The point of a Metallic Insulated Ground Bushing (MIGB) is to bond the metallic raceway (pipe or flex) to the equipment. It is designed to be used where the knockout isn't full, and you have bigger knockouts around it (incase it breaks off, it will still be bonded via the ground wire on the MIGB.)
Also, it is only required when unfused wires are incoming. They seem to be fused here.
wondering the reason why you used #10 wire for transformer but thx for sharing. btw don't forget the bushing with grounding terminal. I experienced so many inspectors obsessed with it
#10 is good enough for the amps it's sending out. thanks, i'll look into the bushing
Higher the voltage the lower the amps.
The only time you need a grounding bushings are for centric knockouts, then Arlington plastic bushing for 4awg and higher. That's California code
*Concentric knockouts
Too much flex. Emt then transition to greenfield. Looks good tho
i just do what im told :) thanks
Feed underground like the pros do.
Got box brackets supporting panels in stud lmmfaoooo. Damn son
in a parking garage 8" slab? k lol
I came to say the same thing.
Hey man I’m thinking of becoming a electrician out of HS. How physically demanding is it? Like am I gonna be having joint problems down the line or am I fine as long as I’m in decent shape? Also what should I know before hand before becoming a electrician cuz rn I really don’t know anything but the field interest me. Also I hear I should know algebra and reading comprehension for the test I have to take for a license?
Anyone with a pulse can be an electrician
@@eddiew2325 depends which company, the company I work at fires and hires alot.
@@eddiew2325 lmao not true at all
not too demanding once you move up, but not the worst as an apprentice. you can take preventative measures to be safer and do less wear on your body.
you dont need to know anything before hand but it would help.
just need to know algebra
Algebra sure,
Bending conduit involves trigonometry.
Is being an electrician hard on the body?
Sure, but really living is even harder
Be safe, have fun, go hard...
forgot the grounding bushing
i didnt
My transformer panel exploded lol
yikes!
@@DailyElectrician yep massive yikes im getting it replaced soon
thats good 🙌🏼
Is the transformer bonded my guy
Right? Didn’t see a Kenny clamp or a bonding bushing
@@adamdemartinis72 I see no SBJ in this video. Does he need a bonding bushing on the flex? With drilled hole (no KO cut outs) and listed fitting?
No worries it all pays the same
Have you heard of EMT? Flex is the lazy way!!
have you heard of following instructions??
Transformers vibrate. Think about that for a few minutes
@@DailyElectricianlol facts whatever is in the specs you gotta obey
that too, just doing what my boss wanted tho. both are important to follow 😋
Drink every time he says "Umm"
umm
Who’s going to fix all that flex? Where’s your grounding bushing on the primary side?
whats there to fix about the flex? i'll look into the bushing
Plastic bushings aswell on one inch emt with wire equal or greater then #8 awg... atleast thats code in canada
Why you pissed if you’re getting paid? I love getting paid for fixing other people’s fuckups.
No connection shown.
ok
Hack Job - not his fault because Nick did most of the job.
By code you can’t use more then 6 feet flex.
thats not more than 6 feet :)
Unless your AHJ says otherwise, I'd look back at the NEC there, guy.
appreciate that, just following what the boss wanted. ya know?
You can strap it every 31/2 feet
@@jimmycrackcorn1667 Sure the inspector may feel generous and pass you, but since you’re trying to get technical, the AHJ does not allow the inspector to pass an install that’s not up to code. It gives he or she the authority to go beyond the minimum requirements which is the NEC. I think you’re the one that should look back at the NEC. If that inspector is caught passing installations that doesn’t meet the minimum requirements knowingly by their supervisor he or she will be reprimanded.
no offence but all that flex looks like dog💩. why not pipe from the panel and change over to flex close to the transformer?
what the foreman wanted.
There is not much - no explanation of what goes where and why. A lot of talking about unfinished job. Why? Just don't waste my time. At least inform the viewer there is a lot about everything but nothing concrete.
its a vlog not an install video. 🤷🏻♂️
Ó
:)
Is that transformer reversible 220 three phase in and can get out 480 volts three phase out please let me know thanks
Sizing? You didn't discuss sizing and calculations?
This is just a video of me discussing what I did at work, not a tutorial :)
Wow its like your super glad to be someones apprentice and not know shit about electrical.
just good at doing what i'm told
