Electrical first fix at an industrial unit
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 13. 09. 2024
- In this one I'm with cam again starting the first fix and DB prep in one of the units sited on the industrial complex we validated last week. I showcase a hager distribution board, more new M12 tools while also offering an insight into a day in the life of an industrial electrician.

Continue your hard work and really just be yourself! Doesn't matter if your video is an hour-long, 2 hr, 3 hr.... we will still watch them!
100% when itâs full of value the longer the better đđŒ
Too right we will watch them
Longer videos are easier to follow, I can pause and come back if needed. Short ones are always hard to find the next in the series.
Yeah just do your video. đ
I personally see a 1hour videos come up and think WOOP! that's my evening sorted! The longer videos the better!!
Mike your videos are improving because you're taking time in breaking down and explaining the procedures. For educational purposes, this is what it's about. Great vidđđŒ
This hour long videos are pure quality, dude.
Every minute is a plesure to watch.
Hi Mike,
Love watching your videos. Very professional and informative.
I donât have an issue with the length of the videos. In fact, I could watch them for hours as you have an innate ability to draw the viewer in. As always looking forward to your next upload.
đâĄïž
Really appreciate the content of the videos you posted on CZcams
Mike - content is king, for me an hour of quality, much more value than 5 mins of C**P, you always break to down for Insta anyway for those who want a taster.
Love the long videos man, your work is fire. Iâm an apprentice from America and love your videos
Apprentice from Australia, love the content, keep these videos coming mate! đ€
Absolutely love the longer vids pal đđ»đđ»đđ»đđ»đđ»
One Hour videos are great, keep em coming.
Quality content as usual, not too long. Really enjoyable, thanks.
00:28:29 I used to use those Caddy Beam Clamps by the Thousands. For low voltage installations, All I used to put them on was a 3/8 nut driver. or box end Ratchet Not need for a big power tool. Even with that I could over Torque them.

I personally love the longer vids. Keep up the good work.
Great video as usual. However I am not sure about the harness and lanyard on a scissor lift. I might be wrong but I remember when I did my IPAF we were told that harness and lanyard are to be used on boom lift but not scissor lift as it can be an extra hazard in case of a fall.
No harness needed on scissors or anything keeping you over the wheels, only needed when it can take You outside its wheelbase
cherries etc
Ace vid , love the different range of tools you use for different things like the angle impact .Keep it up son
A pleasure watching!
Keep the good stuff UP and more and more. And I really thank you for the Hagergang rewards extra points.
Brilliant videos pal , shop is amazing too. Keep up the good work đ.
Keep up the good work mate, excellent stuff.
The longer videos are really good đ
Zebs on the panel turn them into the uni, less of a struggle brother đđđđ
My exact thoughts
Loving the video and I'm impressed the care you take with your work, i wish i did more install stuff. 1hr max for videos I think. Keep it up bro
Long form is good stuff, fk the highly edited short clips. This gives you better insight keep it up!
Really enjoy the content and the length of the videos - the only gripe I've got are the parts when you are talking about your tools. Don't get me wrong, I love buying and using quality tools, but I'm finding myself skipping the parts when you're talking in depth about the tools you're using. Keep up the good work!
That was a great job
Thanks brother đ đ â€ïž
another good video! feels like being with you on the jobsite :)
Hate that cladding stuff but we use 8mm Rivnuts and they hold a treat
@@residualelectrical theyâre only for pop rivets which is a right shame. Gutting đ
Great video. Looking forward to the next part đ
You need a proper cable tiewrap gun it tightens and cute them flush in one operation
Interesting info from Google âA bubble level has a measuring accuracy of 0.5 mm/meter in both normal and reverse positions. As we have seen, a digital level has an accuracy of +/- 0.05 degrees from 0-90 degrees and +/- 0.2 degrees from 1-89 degrees. So there is almost no difference between them, less than would ever be noticeable by the human eyeâ
So good bud. Look forward to the next part. LV
The G clamps I was using when I was an apprentice, approximately 58 years ago.
The G clamps were part of a range of knock on beam clips imported from America called hit clips
The bin police will be on to you again Mike đ đźââïž... great video bud đđŒ
Heavy Duty M8 or M10 Fastners the biz for fixing to metal walls using pot rivot gun
That digital angle gauge is +\- 0.1 degrees accuracy so pretty much bang on Mike. Yeah false accuracy will bug you though đ€ŠđŸ
Nice work mate đđŒ
I do like the long videos but I do watch most things at 2x speed!
Always test the bubble against itself, not so easy with the digital units
could the strip connectors have melted from sun via hot roof or loose connection or overload? like the LED UFO lights great energy saving
Mike love the videos what about collaborating with other electricians who need to learn this work you get a day or two of free labor and they get to learn something new even some of the CZcamsrs who only do domestic but would appreciate more commercial and industrial experience.
Tidy work mate đ„đ„đ„
try some mandrex hole mandrels quick release "the bomb for fast change hole saws"
Great stuff. Question with regards to the steels do you provide equal potential bonding at every point it touches the ground? Or at one place as all steels are bolted together?
I bet the reason Schneider require all that information for the SPD is to ensure itâs likely to do its job, the fact that Hager are not is somewhat worrying, at least in a commercial setting.
Your videos might be a hour long but every minute of them are interesting and enjoyable, keep at it mate. Iâll be checking out your tool shop too! How long you been a electrician? Iâm 8 years in, do similar work but more commercial side.
I like the longer vids
Brilliant content seemed at most points you were more interested in your gadgets then the install,still love watching and learning but less sales pitch and mor installing for me buddy great work though đđđȘđȘ
1 hole drilled and 1 panel mounted in a day, if I was your boss I'd be fuming!
@@residualelectrical Well, my bad, I didn't realise you had pulled in 300mm of swa. How long did that foot of cable take?
Loved it :) 1hr 2hr 3hr or more!!
Equally does making longer vids make it easier to edit? Ie less to cut out etc? If so then I think that might be a good thing as you are a spark first and foremost, not a full time editor so easier editing means you a) have more time to relax on weekends, and b) more time doing the work you so clearly enjoy!
@@residualelectrical no-one has to watch it all in 1 go, I sometimes watch some of it and go back to it later on when people post long videos or on long podcasts. You do some good content aswell bud
If unsure about the level rotate 180 degrees the vile might be a little bit out.
Like your vids as ideal for apprentices in the learning stage and a few of the newbies who have not done their time with experienced electricians ( as is the norm these days sadly ) as having a qualification without the experience can be disastrous.Domestic sparks can also learn from these vids but I'm interested in your boss must be top boss to allow you to video your jobs as let's be honest you can't produce the same amount of work on camera as off. Love the tool selection and your tool shop đ
Iâm an apprentice mate. Currently working domestics. But Iâd like to give industrial work a go as thatâs what college teaches you all about. What was your view as an apprentice mate. Great work with the DB as well mate đđ
Get out of house bashing soon as you can mate, my advice.
@@jackgower3606 thatâs the reason I want to get out of it mate
Can I ask where youâre from/ what college? As college I went to it was just house bashing? Luckily I done my time with an industrial firm (steelworks) no colleges round here teach industrial shit, just house badger shit,
@@jackgower3606 Iâm currently at Shrewsbury college of arts and technology mate. My tutor was a successful industrial spark. The course consists of majority galv for the Am2 and NVQ anyways. Hope that helps mate
Its funny how your commercial gear looks like our panels in the USA, however your domestic consumer units are nothing like it at all. Great job on the work, however you know your panel is leaning to the left 0.1 degrees! đđșđ€Šââïž
What's 'open book'?
53:00 hmmm. . . 3M VHB double sided tape an option?
Good work, but I wouldn't be happy with mounting that board and that weight on insulated panels.
16:56 tags 'like a pick n mix'. Legit made my teeth itch. If you want to post them to me I will sort them out and post it back.
not sure why you wear a harness on a scissor? Only necessary on a boom.
Absolutely, site/ram specific
No problem not to
@@residualelectrical I've never had that requirement for scissors on any site. Even IPAF doesn't state that requirement. The point of a harness is to stop you falling from the MEWP bouncing while traveling over uneven ground. You drive over a pot hole on an elevated scissor you screwed anyway. However I do acknowledge that site policies are changing with regards to working at height so perhaps my experience has not caught up. Will say that if its in your RAMS I can't really argue.
Is it typical to wear a harness in a scissor? is that the regs in the UK? dont need one in aus for a scissor lift - boom or knuckle boom is a diff story
Iâm a sparky in aus as well and thought the same thing straight away but then i thought if they want extra fall protection then why not and shows you guys are thinking about and following your risk assessments and itâs very easy to lean over further than you should to get some extra reach in the real world when working in an EWP.
Very nice work. One tip though in regard to video length: you kind of repeat your planning and what you're going to do a lot. It would save a lot of video time if you just do the work and maybe explain afterwards what you did. Also, in my opinion you talk way too much about the tools rather than letting them speak for themselves. Maybe other people disagree and actually come here to hear about Milwaukee battery tools, but I think you can ramp down a bit on that.
Whatâs the digital level as itâs not on loadout yet
why are you wearing a harness in a scissor? it's class 3a you don't have to wear one, in fact ipaf don't recommend them... Unless thats changed recently. I'd also recommend tethered tools where possible.
@@residualelectrical I guessed it would have been down to rams. I have to say ipaf are a lot less vague than they used to be. Certainly when I did my last renewal they were much more specific but then again I was also adding the harness inspection to mine at the same time.
I was thinking tethered tools just to avoid dropping anything nice but if I'm honest I've been known to carry a lot of untethered stuff in a basket. I do like the knipex tether system, I used to use a petzl caritool and long lanyards but switching to a wrist mount system is awesome. Mind you for some stuff I just clip long lanyards onto the basket.
@@residualelectrical inconsistent training is still a big problem, not as bad as when PASMA used to claim to do proper scaff courses (some folk would get a decent course, others wouldn't receive anything other than a PowerPoint presentation). Mind you the same thing happens with forklift tickets too.. I know people been given an all terrain tele ticket without ever even sitting in one...
Then you've got different professional bodies arguing over what's good practice like the use of tallescopes.
I do not think this video is too long and I donât mind watching - seems like a lot of the other electric folk on CZcams focus on 30 minute videos though so đ€·ââïž
43:17 Poor man get some ear protection!! You dont want to have tinitus
You forgot to censor the license plate at the 1:02:00 mark...
Any reason for not fixing the dB straight to the wall rather than unistrut?
The four fixing hole locations the DB provides probably wouldn't hold securely enough to that cladded wall as the cladding surface is just a thin metal that tends to strip-out easily. That particular cladding is just a foam insulation layer akin to expanding foam sandwiched between two thin metal sheets. Running the struts allowed for lots of individual fixings to the cladding surface to compensate for this inherent weakness.
Understand your reasoning and strikes of belt and braces. However think 4 decent self drillers would be perfectly adequate imo to support and pretty light dB like the one installed. I respect your install and its good to see some young electricians focusing on commercial rather than boring domestic! Keep up the good work fella đ
What helmet is that?
If my boss caught me wasting galv spray like that I would get my a#% chewed out. We get the shiny nice looking galv spray here in aus so we donât mind over spray
@@residualelectrical Italians I tell ya đ€
I am sure it's statutory requirement to have emergency lighting
I would rather watch an hour video than a 5 minute special
My main problem with your vids the first 30 minutes nothing happens this one we saw you basically drilled a hole and fixed an armoured cable. And showed us roughly correcting a light fitting , we don't need an explanation on every tool you use less talk more content
What an abrupt remark. Iâm sure heâd appreciate feedback but your feedback comes across as arrogant and arsey. âHi mate thanks for taking the time to explain to people who would appreciate the knowledge you pass on but I personally think youâd be better getting to the core of the video a little quickerâ surely if you want someone to take what youâre saying on board something like that would be more appropriate
you cant blame him nothing really happens on a day on a industrial job
House bashers always so proud of doing stuff which isnât pulling piss filled carpets up to chase cables out đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
i wil suscribe when stop saying erm and yeah
