@@residualelectrical I'm in the Midlands. Love doing this sort 9f work . I have been with a reactive pump company for a while now. I'm leaving soon. Are u guys looking for any sparks?

I’m a network engineer so I deal with MUCH smaller cabling, but it is still fascinating to watch it done from the ‘other side’ so to speak. Great video!

what a wonderful show of how trade is learnt, olders teaching youngers, youngers teaching olders. lovely stuff

Sooo many tools. We had to terminate a 185 three core DOUBLE steel wire armoured cable into a coupler, with a twelve inch hacksaw, an adjustable spanner and a penknife! Not even kidding.

As an automotive mechanic that uses torque wrenches all day long I would definitely recommend you to push when trying to get a very accurate torque setting . Makes it much more controllable 👍

Since purchasing it, kzread.infoUgkxQuBMI30VhO6fDed6NOsYftsoNa8x0UZ5 this fan is a trustworthy companion during the hot nights in Texas for me. The sleep mode is really quiet and gives you smooth wind to cool down. At full speed the fan is quite noisy but also very strong.Only weird thing is that if there is a draught from another fan, the sleep mode would speed up occasionally (getting a bit louder, probably to level 2 out of 4). This never happened so far when I used only this fan though.

Can't wait to watch this, I've been watching Tony non-stop since your first video, he's great.

love this, just found this channel. As an engineer we rarely get to see work actually being done (we do inspections but it would be weird to sit and stare). there are lots of instructional trade videos on YT but most are boring as hell or are 30 years old and none are as well shot as this, keep it up!

Man just found your channel, I'm one year out of my apprenticeship within the NHS and have never worked with anything bigger than 50mm armoured, was fantastic watching how Tony explained how to manover and the tips and tricks very awesome and educational video mate keep it up subbbbed

As a fellow sparky from South Africa, I have so much admiration and appreciation when I see fellow artisans/tradesman take so much of pride in their work, making use of the right tools and have the intelligence and skills to do the job. Excellent job bro! Subbed!

Love these videos mate. I rarely do any installation work, I think the biggest cable I've ever glanded is 4c x 25mm. 😂 I'd love to have a go at something like this just for the craic.

This randomly showed up in my feed and was satisfying to watch. Thanks!

I design & construct specialty electronic instruments for the geophysics community. I routinely hand-solder hundreds, sometimes thousands, of tiny little parts onto circuit boards, parts that may be hard to see without my low-power stereo microscope. But just like the big cables, each & every connection must be as close to perfection as possible. Fun to watch the big stuff being terminated - I understand in principle what you are doing, but the subtle details are worth noting. We all play a part in our industrial society. Many thanks for the videos!

Brilliant video lads, never leave home without ratchet straps or chain pulls 😂

Lucky to have worked all over the world on heavy ind/comm projects,good to see the youth are still out there taking pride and doing things to spec. I’m no fan of patriotic guff, but the standards we work to in England are easily the best I have seen,anywhere. My biggest SWA was a 630mm 4c for rank xerox in London.Wembley stadium, white hart lane , emirates were all mine too. Tip…I use a short pain hammer to ease the swa ,I knock around the cable with the thin end of the hammer and the strands form out beautifully.

thats crazy ive never seen multi conductor come in triangle shapes. i love watching electricians in different countries, seems like everywhere does things slightly different. also we have the sane watch! i love my little casio work watch, small enough it hardly ever gets in the way, and cheap enough i could care less if it breaks!

Nice tidy installation, We installed a standby Dale generator set in our local hospital. We used 185mm steel wire armour cables, hydraulic pressed copper lugs.....certainly a interesting job....

That’s a good tip about wrapping part of the armouring around when you bend them off.

Been off the tools for a long time now, but watching this makes me nostalgic for my younger days. Great workmanship here, this chap knows his onions.. If I could offer one improvement though it would be to put heat shrink sleeving on instead of insulation tape, as tape can unpeel and look a bit crap sometimes.

It was explained in the first part of this video that tape was the specification for this job rather than heat shrink and that the use of heat was prohibited on site - kzread.info/dash/bejne/fGR6mMOxXb3eepM.html. They had heat shrink available and would have preferred to use it.

@@DavidWood2 I wonder if they could have used expandable neoprene cable sleeving. No heat required and looks a lot neater than tape.

I noticed you start crimping at the insert of the cabellug, using Klauke cablelugs in the Netherlands, we start crimping at the other side where the bolt goes toward the insert of the cable.. there is even an instruction for the right way of crimping for the Klauke brand. I was told if you were to crimp toward the bolt side of the cablelug, materialtension would occur possibly damaging the connection.

Wow! that is a fancy azz torque wrench! I remember going just by how hard we grunted. LOL! Good work boys! stay safe out there!

Good days work there gentlemen, certainly earned that pint.

Great video! Keep in mind your torque specs will not be the same across temperatures/seasons in case you ever run into that. With industrial equipment I've worked on the panels were assembled in a certain environment (likely in the winter) and ended up being used in the summer heat next to a burner. Every single connection in the entire panel was loose, when I know for a fact it was tight several months prior upon delivery. Caused us some real headaches.

Wow that’s amazing. Thanks for video

You looked as though you thoroughly yourself Mike, great to see you back on the tools. 👍🏼

In the late 1980s I use to work installing UPS and generators for the computer industry. Use to work with these cables all the time , biggest ones were 620mm single core to link the battery cabinets. It certainly made you fit Very good money then as well

Think I would end it if I forgot the shroud on that bad boy 😬

What the reason not give extra slack at the bottom connections? eg. for future upgrades or replacement of your breaker and the breaker you install is not the right size as the pervious one ? just install a new cable or try to shift the busbar and breaker to fit it?

These KZread tutorials are great. Time to do the one in my house....

Nice job mate!

It's scary to think that something you can't even see can zap you into ashes in a quick flash & bang motion.

Nice bro :) great work

One other common check I typically go for after installing a main switch is double checking there is no continuity between phases. I never know what could have gone wrong during manufacturing and it may seem excessive. But, I would feel terrible if I didn't check and a breaker exploded due to internal failure that I could have checked for. I have only found this one time. But, I am young and have only been at it for seven years and, fortunately, it was only on a 100A breaker and I caught it before we threw any power at it. Couldn't imagine the pop on a 300A+ main switch if that type of mistake slipped by.

dont know if your aware but on the schneider panel board check the M8 fixings on the busbars that the main incomer sits on because even though they are marked up they are loose as shit ive had loads were ive been able loosen off by hand.

Nice job but ... Do you ever use the little bending tool for a z bend / dog leg in the armour so that the gland actually fits properly? And it’s also nice to have a set of rounding dies if you’re working with shaped conductors ... but I don’t expect the lug spec allows for 3 immediately adjacent or overlapping crimps ...

Also: 1. translucent heat-shrink instead of PCV tape (allows visual control, no poor workmanship hiden, stays permanently in place), 2. cutting sheath with proper tool, not knife, 3. continuity check was superfluous, 4. cable tie trick is unnecessary waste of time ...

This channel looks interesting . As a residental Electrician I plan one day to do industrial work

What temperature are the terminals and wire rated to? That wire appears to be considerably smaller than id expect. Locally, I see 300mm^2 copper for 400A commercial service. You said that's 150mm^2? That wire is nice though, typically its separate insulated conductors in conduit in the US.

La regola d'arte paga sempre Complimenti.

I did only once in my life 240 cable and it took me exactly 11 hours to terminate it. My boss ordered wrong size switchboard socket for those crimps, it was like 180 or 200 and the cable was 240. Fat as bottle of 2,25L coke... but those 240 cables are 3c not 4, i don't understand British laws or whatever you are guys from, but in slovakia and especially in Germany, you need to pull one more cable with it, the blue one. Earth doesn't need to be included, this was a main powerline for very big big induction furnaces and whole hall. You can make your own earth by using lightning conductor belt around the hall. The earth size must to be a minimum of half main's cable diameter. Hope you guys good luck at work and always double or even tripple check everything! Good luck

Now THAT is a cable cutter. Dang!

thats interresting how you did the shielding in Germany we weave that in to a bread and connect that to the main PE
