I've no idea how you juggle everything you do and still smash out content this good. Brilliant tip about turning one of the switch fuses around to show the label detail. It's great to see you back on the tools and enjoying what you're so good at. A huge thank you for sharing and putting the time and effort that you do into these vids, it really is appreciated. Hope you enjoyed that roast! Looking forward to the DB changeover. Maybe another Glasgow for a last-man-out light switch? 🤔👍
If you have already overtightened the conductors, you may as well either leave them that tight or replace them as you have already smashed them down. Doing it then to the correct tightness may well be under tight as the cable space has been reduced.
Glasgows are in fact fuse-switch-disconnectors as the fuse link carrier is physically moved in order to perform the disconnection. Exels are switch-disconnector-fuses where there's a set of knife switches in series with a set of fuses. In BT we fit Exel fuseboards as standard with either an Exel or Glasgow switch-disconnector close-coupled to act as a local isolator. I always specified Glasgows because my colleagues and I considered them more reliable than Exels which are prone to jamming when not regularly used. I recently found out our current AC policy manager has the opposite opinion!
@@residualelectrical Good point, the Schneider is definitely labelled as a switch-fuse. "Proper" MEM/Eaton Glasgow switches are marked as fuse-switches. I never actually knew you could get switch-fuses that look and feel like a Glasgow.
Busy man ... respect 🙌 And thanks for this interesting little video. All for a Glasgow Switch eh. Just glad I'm not a lone at grossly underestimating how long a job like this actually takes. Always seem quicker in our heads eh. Them torque settings seemed low, but if it's in the notes I guess they are right.. bet you kept second guessing even as you left and drove home. 😉 But anyway, thanks for the video... looking forward to the board swap. My own OCD would change that trunking too... but thats just me. Thanks once again Mikey. Respect 💪
We have a few 400 amp Glasgow’s at work, nice smooth action then k chang! feels like you have just switched on the grid! Anyway, is Glasgow not a trademark of MEM who made the originals or has Schneider taken over MEM ? Still a good video, looking forward to the db install. Cheers
love the vid! always learning more whilst watching your vids👍 any idea on when you will get the Blackout veto pro tech pac blackout bags back in stock on loadout?
Mint video Mike! Just a thought when you mentioned the supply SWA not having an inner sheath and granted it’s to late to go back as it would be a ball ache. I had the same issue on a job and used heat shrink. Granted I had the right size but thought it would be worth mentioning if you come across a similar cable in the future.
Ive been looking at alternatives to Paxolin (resin bonded laminated board) Ive been searching for the Darvic board in this video and apparently it is no longer manufactured under that name and the product is now called Salbex? Not sure how accurate this info is, but has got me thinking about other alternative products such as standard PVC or HDPE or even acrylic sheet, could any of these be used and if not why?
@@residualelectrical ah yeah, that makes perfect sense but that only leaves 1 scary risk, if every person leaves the site, they all take their locks out you now have loose wires, and no lock, and somebody could turn it on and sparks fly!
To protect those cores you could of cut kopex round them or used a bit of heat shrink and double it and heated it 👍 good job as always mate we need to do a job together 💪why was that isolated needed or requested?
Why do all Hager 3Phase stickers look like they’ve come out of a Christmas cracker? I have no idea why they are so poor and for ever peeling off within minutes of sticking them on the single phase don’t seem to do it a much but the quality is lower with the 3 phase ones they give you, which I don’t understand? Nice video bud 🤜🏻
I don't understand these tiny torques, 2.5Nm? That's barely breathed on. They may have species that but you'd do a M3 bolt tighter than that without thinking about it.
Awesome video love the content 👌 Keep it at your pace dont do a schedule like you say its the quality not quantity the work and the videos will come when they come 👍
if a three phase circuit breaker in FEDERAL ELECTRIC DISTRIBUTION BOARD makes a POP when moved ON when no machinary is turned on, and all the 240 sockets and lights work. BUT NEXT TIME that circuit breaker is moved ON it POPS with an old lathe connected [WHEN LATHE SWITCHED ON AFTERWARDS just a dull quiet hum/ NO SPARKS NO POPS but does not turn ] but lathe has not had anything done to it since it was last working in same place. BUT NOW some 240 sockets work and some lights work but rest DON'T. COULD THAT BE A PHASE gone-- by a main fuse in the FEDERAL ELECTRIC ISOLATOR. there is NO SIGNS OF BURNING/SMOKE in distribution board.

Love these vids. Stealing that fuse tip! Looking forward to the big Schneider board🤩
Biggest thing I take from these videos is the little tips you come out with.... Flipping one fuse round for info to be visible is so obvious
Excellent video Mike!
Great job dude 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Nice! I like your dedication to the switch :D
Great content would you not try an exhaust cutters to take off the armour off cable?
great again, the content and the style are super de luxe!

Fitted loads of these , practically bulletproof .
24:40 loadout branded flip flops?

Really enjoyed this. Does the switch have anything to do with Glasgow city?
Can you do a video on your metal munching bag mate
love the vid! always learning more whilst watching your vids👍 any idea on when you will get the Blackout veto pro tech pac blackout bags back in stock on loadout?
Are you sure the bolts aren't suppose to be torqued to x nm then a additionally torqued by an angle of rotation?
Did you get the high bay sorted mate?
Are you going back cards in mate or subby? Great vid btw 👍🏻

Love your videos, clearly, as I'm subbed.....but I'd love to have a "yeah" counter on the screen. Would be a good drinking game. 😂😂😂😂
That Arla is the largest milk production facility in Europe!
Awesome content, that set of files at 6:40 look so useful for deburring small holes! What brand are they?
@@residualelectrical thanks mate!!
what would you do with the LOTO keys at 17:01? i could see taking them with you being an issue if somebody else was to try to continue the work...
@@residualelectrical ah yeah, that makes perfect sense
but that only leaves 1 scary risk, if every person leaves the site, they all take their locks out
you now have loose wires, and no lock, and somebody could turn it on and sparks fly!
@@cleverca22 That’s why you have Out of service locks. Then you re lock on the following morning.
To protect those cores you could of cut kopex round them or used a bit of heat shrink and double it and heated it 👍 good job as always mate we need to do a job together 💪why was that isolated needed or requested?
My bad I see now it's in your gaff haha why did you want to have the glaswgow switch as the main switch in the board does the same job.

FIRST, BOOM!! Looking forward to the vid

Nice, you think that board is rough, ask Ryan @RSD electrical about the nonsense he gets landed with 😳
