Blown up Cummins Repair
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 сен 2024
- Welcome back! Today I’m taking you guys thru 90% of this generator job. This Cummins generator blew up after installation and we needed to disconnect all wiring from generator enclosure to service feed enclosure so this 15,000 lb enclosure could be lifted and we can replace the engine with a brand new one! Day 1 was removal of wires, day 2 was removal of fire pump and crane day and day 3 was splicing and heat shrinking everything back together. One more day is required here for termination in the switch gear but that date is tbd! Enjoy ! #femaleelectrician #electrician #electrican #lextheelectrician #construction #bluecollar #milwaukeetools #commercialelectrician #electricianlife #fypシ

always test to ground too.. cant tell you how many times I've tested across 2 lines and had 0, but then 1 line to the ground and a triple digit looks me in the face.
I came for the freckles, I stayed for the attitude and work ethic
I swear I love her freckles but she is also a hard worker!!!

Weird how I've seen this comment for the 4th time
They fake she puts them on daily

Very cool to see commercial electrical work like this.
I just found your site, love it. I’ve been an electrician for 49 years, got my training in the military and have only known maybe three female electricians. And out of there only one I would call a real electrician, I love what you do I like your channel. I watched some some back videos, I wish more young people young women in particular would see the trades as a good alternative to college. You’re doing a great job. Please keep it up I’ll be watching.
The old electrician
I work in industrial and I would be so lost without by T6-1000. Greatest tester ever made IMHO.
Love the comments about the check to make sure power is disabled. 100% solid advice!!!
Awesome job !!
We need a podcast with “Karly the sparky” and “Lexi the electrician” You gals would have a very unique experience in the trades that would probably translate to a very interesting podcast. With zoom or FaceTime it could totally be done. I’d listen for sure.
I love this. I started my apprenticeship in 1975, loved every minute of it. Im retired now but I still pratice the trade for friends and family. Things have sure changed in the last 49 years. Love these videos👍👍. Remember SAFETY FIRST!! ALWAYS!!
Very very great Job Lexi, and one very great Team Work .!!!
Wow. What an awesome job 👍. You and your team rock! Major league respect!!! Keep up the amazing work. B.t.w. your cable management is brilliant!
Safety precautions are written in blood. Following the protocol is the smart move. Wild how much ego runs through the trades, asshats thinking they know better. Glad to see the example you're setting
I often wonder if the ego is due to people not wanting to be told what to do - they see agreeing to such a request as a sign of weakness - or because they they're so self-conscious that they think they look "sissy" (not tough) in PPE.
Can you do a van walkthru video. I'm an elevator mechanic, always love to see other peoples setups for fittings, wire, tools etc.
Props to you girl! I'm 250lbs and been in the game for 30 years now. I have a hard time moving things like loaded emt around. You are the only person I've seen that gives a shit and is obviously proud to be a Journeyman. Love to see you kill it. Keep it up.
The happy dance when is the hard part is almost done
I get you regarding all the Burndy connectors you needed to install for the replacement generator leads. I lot of extra work and time, but you handled it. 😬 All the best!
I had to bend conduit for the first time and i realized quick im not a fan. Mc i actually dont mind working with but conduit is insane. I respect all the journeyman and other apprentices that have mastered that art. Every time I see perfect looking conduit I get jealous.
Appreciate all you do and record to show us what it is like to be an electrician. Love the videos.
Gloves when pulling. Good shoulder workout.
Tremendous work you and your team did. I respect the quality work you do out there.
This is amazing! There doesn't seem to be anything you can't handle! I really like seeing all the details. Don't worry if your video isn't perfect. Obviously, you need to focus on your work and stay safe. I'd much rather see the details with imperfect video than just see a few perfect shots and miss all the action. I've only done residential wiring, so seeing everything required on a large commercial job is interesting. I can't believe they wanted you to cut those cables in the middle like that! I probably would have asked to talk to whoever requested that and tried to explain how much extra work it would cause, plus a lot of unnecessary splices. Although you spliced them perfectly, they are still additional failure points. I don't complain often at work, but when someone requests something stupid like that, I speak up. If they insist, I'll do it, but i let them know first.
proper shutdown work, impressive.
Great Video. Good Job. Thank you for sharing
She has the face of an angel.
Freaking awesome Job Lexi !
That is a stressful replacement but it feels good when it is all done.
Lexi your expertise and work ethic make me so proud! And you are so fun to watch too ❤
She can be a model, I respect her work ethic. Much respect sister ✊🏻
Love your work Lexi. You put some of the blokes I work with to shame. Congrats from down under. P.S. stop dying your hair
Good Work. 🔌
This is the first video I'm looking at, so I'm not sure if you're union or not, but either way: hello from IBEW 688! Love the shorts, keep up the good work!
9:56 If only the keyboard warriors knew that only a 4 foot fall can be dangerous... A 6 foot fall can be fatal, shoutout to you for actually tying off. Ya never know when it could be that day something goes bad or someone falls. better safe than sorry! 👍🤣
Sure, but that lanyard expands at least 8 foot. It wouldn’t help in a real fall. But as 3rd party, you do what the safety man says.
I’m glad I don’t work in I&E anymore. Not a bad job, just not for me.
Good job, Lexi, safety comes first. And the job well done. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Me encanta mucho tu trabajo. La idea de la cámara en el pecho es super...éxito PR
Love your work as always!! Just curious about the test for dead/de-energised, I would do L1 to L2, L1 to L3, L2 to L3, and from Neutral I would test every leg N, to L1, L2 and L3 and lastly a proximity volt detector and test all devices on known live power. Maybe I'm just over cautious, LOL.
I check neutral to each phase, just in case one is floating which won't show up on a line-to-line check.
No such thing as over cautious, it’s always good practice to check for power for safety. I do this on a daily basis at work just because I’m trying to make it back home to my wife and kids every night
Nice job, you in glasses 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🤘
Love the video .please share more!
Thx i really enjoy all the process. De verdad se nota que trabajas super bien 💯👍👍👍
“This cable tray was a biatch” classic. Those are some thick bois I can only imagine how much of a pain in the ass.
Also I have heavy tool envy. #want that torque wrench so bad
This makes my 12V automotive wiring skills look like child's play.
That’s really impressive
Baddest woman on the internet!
Whether you're working on household or industrial A/C or EV high voltage DC or A/C always use the rule of live dead live.
Verify your meter works (live test), verify your circuit is dead (dead test), reverify your meter (live test).
Best way to keep safe
Good advice. No point testing with a dead meter ... might as well test it with a brick.
Yes please do a review on the wrench
I like to think of you as the lextrician
since wearing the harness is required by osha anyway not sure why you are catching a hard time about a harness.
Outstanding! And the tie off good idea
Thank you so much for your video,
Its amazing how you know everything that you know.
Please do a review on the Milwaukee Torque Wrench. Looks like you've had time on using it.
I like working at extreme heights, in large cities. The view never gets old
Your safety is the 1 priority.
Well done, thank you.
Крайне необычно видеть многопроволочный кабель под болтовым соединением. По нашим нормам все многопроволочные кабели необходимо оконечить гильзой перед тем как затянуть под болтовое соединение. Сделано это для того чтобы кабель не распушался при затягивании и не повредить жилки.
Safety first
Saludos🤓👋con la GoPro se ve Brutal!! Working hard 💪💪
😅🤓✌️🙏🙏🙏
Never cut all large conductors the same length. Best practice & common sense to stagger them !
Le veo en la electricidad y brilla! Más veo ese arroz con gandules y me pregunto; Boricua?
Damn that engine is a beast of a machine
Lexy 💪❤️
Damn splice city.
Great job and Great video
🫡STRAIGHT BEASTMODE✊🏽
…….you kicked that jobs ass.
Keep Showing ‘Em’ How It’s Done.
godspeed Lexi.
I like this style of recording it’s like VR
Королева-электрик!, ты прекрасна!, но будь внимательна и остарржна!!!!, НЕЛЬЗЯ ОТВЛЕКАТЬСЯ НА ТЕЛЕФОН ИЛИ РАЗГОВОРЫ!, а темболее если работаете в электроустановке!, СЧАСТЬЕ ТЕБЕ КОРОЛЕВА!, и ДОЛГИХ И РАДОСТНЫХ ЛЕТОВ ЖИЗНИ ВАМ!!!,а в Великой РОССИИ ещё накладывают заземления!!!
Your are AWESOME ❤😊
If you can (im not sure if your safety regulations will allow it) get a glue on gopro helmet mount and stick it on your hard hat. If you can afford to keep one on your chest to then youll have multiple shots to pick from in situations like the hair shot😂. Keep up the hard work and amazing content sweetheart!!!
The freckles are cute, but not as beautiful as her work. Great job Lexi‼️
Would love to see a review of the wrench
I wish you can make a video on the steps you took that got you where you are today!
Beautiful 😍
Good job. Remember life is great now at your age, but when you're in your late 30s it will not be fun. Think about it!
I’d like to see you review your torque wrench 👍
I’m a Ford mechanic and I have a split beam torque wrench that I really like but I’d like to hear what you have to say about being an electrician using yours.
Lexi super super
This is legit 💯
I believe the Milwaukee digital torque wrench doesn't exceed 200Nm, correct?
A torque of 600Nm would result in excessive overtightening
Oh, boy 277 480 3phase.., get it lol
Good work and looking lovely lady 🌹
👍👍👍👍from 🇳🇱NL
Pretty work
You are one tough gal! Don’t take no shit! Keep up the good work! 👍👍👍😎🇨🇱🇺🇸
Hey Lexi,
do you guys work alongside a generator specialist eg hooking up/testing control wires ?
id like to see the review on the torque wrench
Rule # 1: Never let the the person that doesn't have to repair cut cables tell you where to cut said cables.
Awesome work 👏 are you engeineer, what profession did you study?
Comment for the algorithm.
🔥
Hey Lexi; I have to ask as a Portuguese sparky. Abreu is a Portuguese last name. Are you/your parents Portuguese?
U r a beast and a half
Dirty hands clean money brought me to this woman #TrollCo
Looking at all of those splices was painful enough...
How much mega watts is this Cummins?
Que cámara utilizas para grabar ? Muy bien trabajo Lexi
And that is why you buy a generac
Thank You U make my Daughter want to learn the Trade Which will make her a Third Gen Electrician Hopefully she passes it on
Lovyou
Hello my friend
I came for the freckles
What safety glasses are those?
Lexi, Whats your backstory? How did you get into this field and at what age did you start?
