Ringing Conductors Out | Identifying Which Is Which | Man About Home

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

When you're pulling some new electrical wiring, it's pretty common to not know which one is which, from one end to the other.
In this video I'm ringing some new conductors out with an Ohm meter, so I can mark each end with their identifying color code.
If you get any value out of this, please hit that thumbs up!

    One thing to note: You're also checking for which wires do NOT show continuity. Make sure only one matches. Brand new runs should be simple, verifying existing ones have potential problems you want to be cautious of.

    I have to modify my agreement. In this case, I'm looking only for one wire. I know where the others came from because there's only 4 and I pulled them in through 20 feet of pipe. In a manufacturing plant, where there's been lots of previous work, you need to be more careful. But you still wouldn't check every wire. In my 40 years of experience in major manufacturing plants, I've seen cabinets with bundles of spare wires 50 thick. We never checked every wire, when all we needed to find is one. Of course, we'd follow the conduit to confirm we know its source. Thanks...

    Imagine if he had marked the wires,with tape one by one,prior to pulling them😂

    The principle applies to wiring in general, not just new runs.

    Imagine if you followed the crew that pulled the wires in 3 weeks ago and didn't mark them.
