- In this one we are away from the industrial estate to work with a local DNO to upgrade the supply tails from a cutout at a football stadium to 150mm2 so 315a fuses can be fitted, we also get to try out our new hydraulic crimper from SWA.

Literally part of my routine now! Kids bathed for school tomorrow, dish washer loaded and switched on and then boom! Your upload lands ready for my evening viewing!
Pablo the fuse puller is a real person. A man of mystery :()
Luckily he is blurred a shortsleved white t-shirt is not the correct PPE for pulling main cutout fuses🙈
@@haldo691white t-shirt, jeans and a 1000v glove on, sorted..
@@kyester123 yeah if he had gloves on but still no
@@haldo691 I thought he had atleast 1 glove on. Must not have then. I wasn't being serious with my comment, tshirt and shorts are definitely not the correct ppe for pulling fuses.
@@kyester123 won’t see the arc flash coming anyway so ah well will only hurt the once 😂
Dno geeza look like hes just come from the pub🤣
I had a shot every time you said ‘so, yeah’. Now I’m dead 😵.
Seriously though, I’m no expert, but enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for sharing your work 👍
@@residualelectrical Please don’t apologise. I didn’t mean to cause any offence. Keep up the good work
It's good to see another electrician on CZcams that isn't all BS
I Love The Raw Style Of Your Videos Keep Them Coming 👍
Is that the famous pablo bloke lol, great video and real sparks
This is a crazy way of doing things, we can't mix supplies with outgoing circuits. Had your work cut out here. Got to get myself one of those saws. Top work
Whoever’s done this is an absolute wallie. Love that line.
I really like your presentation how you explain both work and products tools your go far never had guys like you when I was learning the trade love watching your content I find it motivating on keep up the good work
What a pleasant conversation with that tool from the DNO, using the full extent of the English language
Hi Mike,
Great video ! Tight squeeze in that trunking but as always you stay calm and complete the install ! Nice banter with the DNO guy ! Great to hear your bro’ is ok now after the jab !
Looking forward to your next upload ! Take care, stay safe !
👍⚡️
Love the spd jammed in the bottom of the panel board 👍
Proper work. But I can't believe it took all day to fit five singles.
I had to make up plywood false works to do the cable bending for a 1kA supply. Took 3 days to get it all on the wall. Parallel 300mm singles IIRC. You need to get those lugs correct in every way. That was without a power bandsaw too. Ah. The good old days.
Keep the videos coming.
Tri rates would of been heaven there. Always wise after the event 👍
@@residualelectrical The DNO will not accept tri rated. Another great video Mike.
You look very experienced with installation.
Cut small pieces of battern to place in front of the cables behind the trunking to hold them back bud
Mikes favourite insult.. what a wolly 🤣 another good video mate
Really enjoyed this one. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Nice vid guys. I use 4:1 glue lined heat shrink where I can. Is great stuff
when the heat shrink is a little to big get it hot, wrap a rag around the lug and squeeze normally turns out minta :P
Where’s Pablos flash overalls lol he looks like he’s just been down the offie
Another informative and entertaining video,thanks.
Battery crimper so much easier also butane torch for heat shrink . Love the hat feller and another good job,,and a table to work off no more crawling on the floor and bit of shiny for the weigh in end of week,,prices are great at moment..ohh bandsaw to cut cable with like it save the ratchet cutters and wrist...link for torque wrench
Cembre Battery crimpers for those sort of cables yes expensive but nice and easy
nice video
Excellent video as always Mike 👍🏻
Good video, you got the right balance through out
150 amps each phase lots of current, current sensors on each leg as well
It would be good if you had some videos aimed at 1st year apprentices where you cover more details about the components and CT wiring and settings , earthing etc
DNO's like big thick throbbing cables
Now we know why we never see Pablo, he's apparently an ethereal being from the spirit world.
Nice work there lads.
6:05 Heatguns on battery's are sooooooooooooo slooow to heatup :-)
You know the pig tail earth bonding for the doors of the exposed enclosures, how are they sized? You always see a 2.5mm usually blue lugged... but what is the reasoning and?
The guy who fitted our smart meter wore more protective clothing than this guy!
I love my Dewalt heat gun............ but they need to bump the fan up more cos doing dual-wall heat shrink it takes got ever to get enough heat to get the glue flowing
These guys are deffo Covid safe! Full height opaque Perspex screen between them
Opaque? Do you not mean transparent or am I missing something?
@@heresjohnny1219 yep you’re deffo missing something but I’m not qualified to help
@@djb774 don’t think anyone is tbh
Nice job on a hot day.....😎
Quick one last vid u said MBC's are polarity sensitive just my daft mind would think if its ac it maybe isn't ...rcbos micht differ ...just my inquisitive mind someone correct me plz again crackin content👍
What is the cable you're using? Tri-rated?
The DNO’s lack of PPE 🙈…. Straight to the cooler 👉🏻
Probably why he is blurred out.
not like residualcurrent had any PPE on either... shorts, tshirt and hat...
@@tommymack3210 what ppe does he need?
@@HH-zi5li he doesn’t work for the DNO though.
@@jackbetts4328 I know
great vid even if you didn’t ‘splain much. p.s.: love the dad bod 🤪
Bit cheeky.
Very Nice bro! Top top!!☇👍
Why not mix the phases before the main board save having three wires
Great job guys 😎
Get the knipex step cuts on loadout!!
maybe tri rated flexible cable would of helped as you were limited on space mate and who ever done that initial install was a proper clown.
keep the vids coming you put out some good content by the way
6:58 3:1 heatshrink can be good for stuff like that. You can get samples from places like vital-parts.co.uk and that 🙂
What camera are you using?
Main earth 70mm ? it should be no less than half the size of the neutral conductor on a TNCS
It depends on what method you use to calc the earth cable size. You could use the adiabatic equation, and it may have dropped a cable size (ie 50 instead of 70mm2). Though you can't really win if the DNO says you need to use a specific size (despite what you or I may think)...
I'd be curious why 150mm2 single core cables were selected for a 315A supply...being heavy handed with various derating factors never hurt anyone I guess!
@@gloveyourway2000 the half size rule is to cater for diverted neutral currents in the event of broken pen.
The DNO guy mentioned the additional rod laid in the road. This is prob why they arnt to worried as worse case scenario most of the diverted current will travel that path 🤷♂️
@@tomorichard That doesn't sound right. Earth cable sizing (as noted in BS7671) is done on the basis of short circuit protection (hence why you can size the earth cable using the adiabatic equation or use sizing tables). A PEN fault (typically) occurs on the supply side (ie for this video, a PEN fault would occur upstream of the 315A fuses, and be a DNO issue to resolve).
The rod (I believe) is a requirement of the TNCS earthing system, whereby you need to earth the neutral and various points along the distribution pathway to ensure a low impedance back to the transformer.
@@gloveyourway2000 you are correct. Thank you for picking me up on that. I had it in my head PME main earthing could not be sized via the adiabatic equation due to the worry of diverted neutral currents and had to sized via selection. However I was thinking of the requirement of sizing main bonding with respect to the incoming neutral.
@@gloveyourway2000 you cant use the adiabatic equation on TNCS
Noti Gang
4:02 dont you use knee pads mate?
I was thinking the same .. always use them or use a knee pillow when in shorts ..
Cutting off some strands are we ???
@@residualelectrical Did i see you cutting some strands to make it fit in the Isolator ?
Veto blackout and packout tour soon mate?👀
Tails in with feeds to DB that a big no no not your fault but poor design with the trunking
Local 26 ibew .. wtf?... you guys get to wear shorts......... yall hiring? Jk
Where does one start no health and safety with no eye protection when cutting , no testing making sure it’s dead . Plus when you was crimping your cables the lugs where way to big for cable plus I would of used flexible cable it makes life much better when you have a tight spaces before you know it all’s kick off yes flexible cables are approved by the electric company’s using as mains tails because we did a job using 300mm flexible cable on job in Wales .
@@residualelectrical try testing afterwards when the DNO live to make sure your Ze and Zs meet the regs
I think we all need Ian to post a video on how to do it ‘properly’
@@gordonm2821 would do M O D will not let film on any bothered sites
This guy is do a fantastic job helping others, what a pathetic comment, probably just jealous seeing someone far younger smashing it. Get a grip…
Don't care great job
