Blown up Cummins Repair

  • 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

    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.

    • @vk2ig
      @vk2ig 8 месяцев назад

      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.

    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.

    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.

    • @vk2ig
      @vk2ig 8 месяцев назад +1

      I check neutral to each phase, just in case one is floating which won't show up on a line-to-line check.

    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

    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.
