My mate Derek said you should have cut that cable up in the ceiling as it comes off the tray and put a joint in to make a the 90, no cable bending needed; then just wrap in black tape to match the rest of the cable. He says you can get 185mm2 Wago copies on Tumu for 85p each and not that many catch fire.
"not that many" lol
Derek is a GOAT. Although tighter than two coats of paint.
@@neilmanning2700tell me you don’t have a sense of humour without telling me you don’t have a sense of humour 😂
Mike the chaincutter you have has no adjustment on it. You need one with a tensioner . This will allow you to cut any size cable .
I am electrical engineer and i learned very much practical tips for manipulating this type of cable. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
I Remember when we did A 400mm 4c Swa cable at Manchester's Lowry centre on the salford quays back in the late 90s 😬
It was HUGE cable & took about 10 men to Install of the Ladder Rack to the Busbar chambers & Terminals
We were All Glad that Cable was live & Safe Finished job 🤗
HALLELUJAH
400mm?! Was that for the theatre’s production electrics supply by any chance?
@@aaronm9353 Outgoing 3 phase suspended busbar from 400mm cable Termination to Submain Distribution Room , Then Bs88 Fused swa cables to All Power & Lighting Fuseboxes in the Building ....
Great times in 90's working in Manchester in my Youth ...
They make a vicegrip style exhaust pipe cutter that have close to 2cm of travle in the adjustment screw. Might take a look at them they don't really have any set sizes and the adjustment fills the gaps in the links.
Part 2 of the termination video with no termination to be found. Will he actually terminate in part 3?
😂
Lol, glad I'm not the only one 😅
Great job. People don't realise how much wrestling is involved and how long it takes.
With the exhaust cutter, you make an initial score and then set it again up another link to score the cable again.
I think he said in another video that when it is set to one link tighter it is too small to go over the cable
@mysterious_czrs possibly because he didn't make the initial score and then change it (?)
I use this regularly and haven't had the same issues.
I couldn’t get the tool to close ever after scoring on a higher setting, one wheel it just gets through the sheath, the other it doesn’t close.
@residualelectrical
Sorry to hear that.
Maybe try a different model. They really are a game changer.
Hello. Im happy that in France we do not work with heavy armored cable. Our cable seems to be a bit easier to work with. Good job. Strong hand. Regards
What kind of facility is this install?
nice to see, used to love doing work like this , thanks
A lot of people don't appreciate just how much of a pain in the arse these cables are to deal with.... and I thought 100mm hydraulic hose was bad....
Haha yup!
Happy day, you always share excellent videos, you do a very good job. I have taken some of your video formats to make my own, thanks for inspiring us too.
Thanks!
You should wear eye protection when f*ing around with those armor strands. Especially if you're trying to be instructional. Won't feel great if somebody copies you, who ain't so lucky and looses an eye.
Stay in USA.
Love my little pry bar for armorings
Tony’s tricks are proper! And the exhaust cutter that’s a gem how come it didn’t do the 185 for you? If it feels loose to begin I usually go as tight as I can to begin with start it off then go a link down does the job. Good work other wise
I’d cut cable like that but I’d definitely think three times, measure twice and explain it to a rubber duck (to make sure it makes sense) before I do. I don’t even want to think about what that cable is worth on the spool, never mind after all the work of installing it.
Great video and guidance as usual
Sealey AK6838 is an adjustable exhaust cutter, that may suit your needs better. There are cheaper alternatives of this on eBay / Amazon once you know what it looks like.
Nice tidy job Mike.. Ynot will be proud 🤣 The quality of glands are getting beyond a joke these days
In ynot we trust
what does that cable cost ? being copper , 200 euro/ meter ???
You and Cory uploading on the same day, that’s my Sunday sorted 🫡
Haha that’s bro!
Don't forget the electrician's podcast at 7.30
Exhaust cutter I have, and I think Tony from jointech said he the same one…is from Euro car parts. Never had any issues with it personally
What’s the purpose of the shielding in an armored cable?
We don’t have cables like that in Sweden, we have some variants that uses a similar shielding as the CPC but they’re mad out of copper. Is there an actual need for that amount of protection of the cable in your regulations?
It’s for mechanical protection, we kind of spec it as standard for any distribution in the UK 👍🏼
Mechanical protection. I've worked in Germany and noticed that they use standard PVC cable, YY type clipped to the surface in working environments with no mechanical protection.
Did you design this job and do all the cable calcs yourself? Im very impressed with the quality of the install.
Thanks - yeah I did, I’ve got a video on the circuit design if you are interest 👍🏼
Real men of genius
Looking a mint job so far, the good thing about doing your own jobs is that you design it I've never been supplied with those SWA clamps (what are they called?) all I ever get is tie raps. Where can I get one of those SWA spade tools as well always got some good inspiration Mike.
Cable cleats. Stops cables galloping during a fault.
They are called cable cleats ! Frightening if you are doing this type of work and you don’t know what a cable cleat is !
@@Spidersapp84 I am well aware it is a cable cleat I just thought this type had a particular name as I have never ordered them or been supplied with them there is no need to be concerned I fully know what I am doing if it was up to me I would be using them. When you are labour only the design and installation method is down to others.
My boss would've lost his shit at you guys in shorts and t-shirts. Sure you're up on another floor, in a crawl space, on top of a ladder, but what if an owner's rep climbs up there and sees you aren't wearing a collared shirt? The outrage!
I don't work there anymore.
What is the highest current job you have done
Still think it’s quicker to gland off while cable is straight and then drop the cores into the Panel with gland attached as you have enough height to work with above. Still hard work wrestling large SWAs 😢
I wouldn’t say there is alot in it time wise as you do the same steps just at different stages, I find the inner cable sheath comes out far better when you go have the gland in situ even if it is a little tighter, I’ve seen many cables damaged the other way.
I use both techniques dependent on the situation though 👍🏼
3.58 never unsee that 😂😂😂
😅
Great job mates. Just found you❤
Welcome bro 👊🏼
It's there a reason to run 2X 600A cables instead of 4x 300A? 300A cable would have gone in in a single day instead of all this fighting with that monster cable.
Top video mate proper work u got a tradify discount code 😂😂😂😂
Nah I use ServiceM8 😅
@residualelectrical too funny
No hard hats or safety glasses?
No tampon yet you act like a girl?
For some reason, I often find it more interesting the things that professionals *don't* do than the things they do do. For example, given that you have to drag the cable thought in the first place, it would seem that prepping one end and feeding it down into the box before clamping everything in place would be easier than cutting both ends exactly right and bending them around after the middle is all fixed in place. But that seems obvious enough that I'm guessing there's some reason that's not practical? (E.g. like the rules not allowing spending an extra half day pulling cable, even if it saves a day later in the week.)
It sounds like a good idea, on a single cable I would even say that’s a great technique depending on the situation.
In practice it would cause alot of logistical issues and the cables would take forever to be pulled in as each one would need to be put away before being clamped.
Usually a lot of labour is thrown at getting the cables in, compared to a couple guys terminating.
@@residualelectrical interesting. "More crew for that day" would be a good reason when the client is paying by the man hour rather than "wall clock" hour (which I'm going to hazard is the common case).
That said, the engineer in me now wants to figure out a set of kit that would let the two of you pull that cable without needing more crew. Something like a set of remote control electric winches, some one way cable grabbers and a bungee to pull it back for the next bit. If it could be made to work (and to cost less than a bigger crew) being able to grab an pull every dozen meters or so along the part that's already been set up might be a neat trick.
Dont leave the 3 phase link in (cory)
In all fairness even though Cory blamed himself, he wasn't to know that link was still in there as he wasn't the one who did the ups install. 😎
supplied a feed to the rack and went beyond. Love that everyone does a perfect job and nothing ever goes wrong maby I'm in the wrong game 😂
I know it’s easy to judge but standard commissioning procedure is to test for shorts before energising. Schneider (APC) train all their UPS engineers and approved partners on this in the Grenoble training facility. It’s hammered in over and over, plus the need for arc flash PPE.
Dont want to get ya corry stuck in that me old chav😂
😅
I hope you’re gonna lift up your shrouds and hoover the top of that gland plate.
Yes sirrrrr
What is the cross section of these cables?
185mm2
The most expensive cable is the cable you cut too short.
I've got swollen glands
안녕하세요 영상 잘보고 있어요😊
20:00 is it illigal to use a vacuum as any technician today? cmon guys! get that dirt away!
This is 20 minutes of an 8 hour day, there is a lot you didn’t see - including tidying up 👍🏼
Been watching jointech eh :P
I had the pleasure of working with him 🤝
7:28 You can tighten the gland at this moment.
yep - deffo gland on first then wrestle into place - far far easier!
Swa is pretty rare is Aus. Unless its job specific. Makes terms much easier.
It’s not “Rare” it’s industry specific. Oil & Gas is all SWA
Bossed them.
