    Always nice to see how other places to it. We do ours a little different. We strip the outer jacket until a few inches above the conduit. But a water seal around it and that cable is so much more flexible. Also we twist the bleeder wire on to the concentric and wrap it going up the elbow before landing it. Solid video. Always wondered how these elbows differ from other styles.

    Well done, 2 things that got in my mind during the video. First, the press fittings that I know had to be started all the way back and than the second, third, fourth towards the lug. In that way you'll force the conductor into the press fitting and create additional contact area at the conductor face. It might not be important on small connectors like this, but definitely on 1000+ amps. Second thing the grease/clay inhibitor, you want to have the full amount of it inside the press fitting to guide heat out of the core and transfer it into the lug. Beside the temperature thing you also make sure that humidity has no chance to enter even if the outer isolation fails over the years.

    The V part of that probe tool is used so the wire sets it’s self along the wire and you can use a ratchet motion to strip back that jacketed neutral!!

  • @lewy1
    @lewy1 Рік тому +1

    You should press the lug on before you make the 6 7/8” measurement. That also is the only measurement that has to be precise. After you should use SAP tape from the jacket to the elbow before you connect the bleeder wire to eliminate the possibility of water getting into the elbow.

    He is not using an electrician's back reading folding rule? Okay. I used to let those banana peelers and spiral cutters fall on the ground and just score it with a prep knife. After the 500th termination you have it dialed in pretty well. Heating that mess up with the weed burner make it lots easier to work with too. Aluminum oxidizes immediately when it contacts air. If you score into the insulation you can sand or file the scored part back smooth. My oldest stress cone tools are made like Vise Grips with a pull handle on one jaw and blades that cut a square cut and drag a parallel cut like the banana peelers. Those are some really OLD tools. They served me very well, if I bothered to use them.

  • @jaymes7521
    @jaymes7521 Рік тому +1

    You installed your silicone grease from your semi-con over the exposed insulation, if you were working for me, you would be cleaning that again and doing it over. Also, with a little a practice, and experience you can make all your scores and cuts with a sharp knife with more accuracy. When you ring cut the cable jacket, "break" the score with 2 hands and remove the jacket toward your butt cut and there is no need to worry about bird caging the concentric.

    Whenever you start doing nonessential tasks for the sole purpose of aesthetics then you have strayed from the path of a competent installer. "Gee Bob, look how much time Mr. Smith wasted making this elbow look a certain way even though it made no difference in performance or safety." Good thing most linemen work for the public where they are not held accountable for their productivity.

      Listen here Tommy… Real closely! I can’t terminate anything I’m sure faster than you with the highest quality of craftsmanship. I’ve been a lineman for 18 years dude and worked with them all. Number 1 is efficiency and second close is quality of work. I’m not cocky but a comment like this usually means you do really scab quality work.
