I have easily built 10,000 or more of these 200 amp load breaks and you do it exactly the same way I😅 do. You couldn’t tell the difference between yours and mine side by side. 25 years building medium voltage distribution systems. Best work in the trade, best pay as well.
Do you even sand the insulation? I don't do that, but a lot of guys who I know sand the insulation. I only do it if I accidentally nick it or something
@@maxschil9438 it depends on the bond between the insulation and the semicon. Sometimes it comes off and leaves no residual semicon, other times you can see the black on the insulation and lots of sanding to remove all the semicon. You should never nick the semicon, if you do you are using the wrong tool or too much force. Always a good idea to strip a piece of scrap of a new cable type to set depth of cut and to see how it peels.
I like the cold shrink at the end to keep the moisture out, we just used SAP tape. I also have only used concentric neutral cable. I have also found that the only measurement that is critical is the 6 7/8, for us as we always had play in the cables to plug into the transformer.
Ryan G glad it could help, we often work on 35KV systems and they are very similar. Good luck with your training, if you are watching this video, you take your job seriously, that’s always appreciated!
It all depends on what the engineer specifies for each job. The key to being a good splicer is being able to be versatile enough to be able to install all types of MV applications. Some installs for the utility may be Alum JCN URD type cable, some installs for some federal customers may be CU EPR tape shield - and as a qualified MV Splicer, we need to be able to adapt to those different types of applications.
@@jacobyoung3160 Yes the Hubble primary elbow spec sheet for a #2 primary cable says for a Burndy (hydraulic) crimper use die U234, but that die is actually for a 1/0 aluminum crimp. I put a 1/0 aluminum crimp next to the elbow probe crimp and they are almost identical in size, I put a call into Hubble tec support phone vm, just waiting for a return call back
Hey, i am electriciant too, i was so impressive, with the tools and the way that you all prepare the elbow conector, can you make me a list with the name of those tools that have been used on the video??????
Christian Tejada Arias thank you, I went the tools in pretty good detail, there was an awful lot there, I would take some time and hit pause and write them down for your reference
Look up MVA Supply in Arvada Colorado. They sell all the tools, ask for Scott Jefferson, he will get you everything you need and answer any related questions you have. They are a meduim voltage only electrical supply house. The best in the country.
Great video, thanks for posting. Do you recall which crimp die you used specifically? Looking at the instructions there are several listed for Burndy. Thanks
Jesse Leonard the die used in this video, and in most 200a termination applications is a Burndy UBG. The die itself has 2 points of crimping per single operation as opposed to a single crimping point on a typical Burndy die. It is a specialty die from Burndy, but is readily available through most vendors and online stores. Thank you for watching and the nice comments!
I guess Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a method to get back into an instagram account..? I was stupid lost the login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me!
@Ignacio Drake I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and im in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
The exterior of the elbow is at ground potential. The exterior material is a semi-conductive rubber, it must be grounded to allow static to be dispersed ground. If the elbow is grounded properly, then yes you can touch.
I've been doing 35k for 5 years I love seeing other guys work, always learning to master my craft

Nice clean splice job. Helps when you have all the right tools for it 👍🏻
Very nicely done. 👍gotta love the pat750 12 ton crimper.
I'm getting trained tomorrow on some 35k terminations, and this was a great look into it.

You rock man! good job!
Thank you for posting this
this is art.
We don’t use 1/0 cu shielded cable at my company. Only use 1/0 aluminum concentric cable, so we don’t use the cold shrink, just aqua seal and tape.

@@jacobyoung3160 was just stating that we don’t use those at my company, so I am unfamiliar with that. Not arguing for or against you, just saying.
Wow!!! Thank you!!! Subscribed all the way!!
Awesome.
Greetings from Ukraine.
You left out the little tricks where you cleaned all the grease out of the lug etc lol
What model number dies are you using in your pat-750?
Type UBG - the U-Die version of BG or BG Nose.

Typically for 200A elbow #6-2/0, U243, UBG, or U25ART. Reference Cooper Power Systems Crimp Chart S500-001-1

@Ignacio Drake It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my ass :D
can touch outside elbow or not

Thx
@@jacobyoung3160 , i agree with you 100% but it is not a good practice to bare hand any energized load break elbow or 600 amp Tbody termination.
can you give me a contact for the purchase of the torque wrench?
Jake Volk I would suggest JHarlen.com
