    Hi, how much would an electrician charge for a 32amp single or three-phase installation?

      This looks like a single phase 32a. 2P+E. Indication would be that its blue, 3pins and 56mm diameter (maybe)
      3phase should be red with 4 to 6 pins depending on 3P+E/3P+E+N/3P+E+N+pilot pin

    Did you know the combo flathead + Phillips screws generally also accept a Robertson #1? In case you don't know that's the slanted square head mostly used in Canada. But if you use a Robertson on these you get the best of both worlds, you don't get it slipping out like Phillips, and you don't have the just general horribleness of flathead. It fits very well and you can torque it down.

    This is great stuff mate, I happen to have a PDU with a very short 32A power cable, I was thinking of buying a high quality 32A extension lead cable to be able to connect it 3 meters away, this video along with a PDU disassembly video I've found earlier just reassured me that its possible to just replace the PDU short power cable entirely with the female end of the 32A extension lead cable, instead of just connecting the extension cable for its intended purpose, I really did not want to do that, horror stories, suicide cable, fire, etc
    So in basic terms, Im trying to remove the PDU 0.5 meters cable, replace it with a 3 meters lead cable, using a 3 meters extension lead cable in it place.

      @@k-30creator20 I will 100% make sure not to cut too deep if I ever had to cut, this is a very important step that you did point out multiple times on the video, so people don't mess this one up, because its not going to end well.....The thing that made me think it was possible were the instructions on how to open and separate the end point of the plug, that was some really crucial information, oh and thanks for showcasing and linking the tools used in the description, I value this sort of stuff although I can't afford to buy the tools right now, I will however make sure to buy them using your links later on, especially the crimper tool, cheers mate.

      Really appreciate your support! And you are right, it is really important to NOT cut the outer sheathing too deep! Good luck!

    Will 2.5mm 3 core swa cable fit in a commando plug?

    • @k-30creator20
      @k-30creator20  Рік тому +2

      NO! and PLEASE do NOT ever terminate a SWA in a commando plug! SWA cable MUST be earthed properly not with a hose clamp and all those nonsense! So please do not do so :) Use a rubber cable or a PVC cable :) Thanks!!

    Glad I found your channel…. I need help …. I’m in the US . I purchased a predator generator from harbor freight the 3500 watt one. I’m having trouble finding a power cable to connect to my food cart to the generator. The generator has a 4 prong socket… my food cart has a 3 prong socket…. I’m not sure what to do… any advice would be greatly appreciated… the weather socket on the cart looks like what you are showing in the video…… the Generator take a 4 prong plug in….

      In Europe, domestic plug is 230V 16A, which is 3500W. In my house I even have 3 phase 230V 16A in every room (11kW).
      American system is weird, confusing and u safe. Cut the plug and connect it directly (but use Wago, not twist nuts, your house would burn down).

    Hi, is it possible to swap a female out for a male connector? I need a 230v 32a cable with a male connector on both ends and I can't seem to buy them, thanks in advance.

      Check yell or just Google local electrical suppliers, I saved a fortune on some twin core 10mm when I wired my garage up by looking for somewhere local.

    Is it okay to connect it to a 30AT breaker?

    • @k-30creator20
      @k-30creator20  2 роки тому

      Yes, as long as your cable is rated for at least 30 amp. Please do seek a professional electrician in your local area if you have any uncertainties.
