Two 4c X 185s and a 185cpc. Very tight space!!

- This was a job I completed last week. I was a worry that they wouldn't fit due to the space and the size of the cables. I managed it and I don't think they turned out too bad. There's a little tip in the video about how to assist you getting the lug started on the core but it's near the end so you'll have to watch the whole video (if you want to that is).

When I worked in North America the inspector would fail an install if the cable was beyond its allowed bend radius. Great work mate.
Nice to see someone showing armoured cable videos.
Love the termination very professional.
Brings back memories. 👍
Love comments like this. Thank you very much👍🏻
Ever so slightly file the outside edge of the copper at a slight angle where it enters the lug. This will help the lug slip on if tight without damaging the integrity of the cable itself. A nylon hammer great also for “persuading” the lug to go on without damaging it. Great videos with very knowledgeable installer.
Nice. Some good suggestions. I have a rubber one to hammer them home. This doesn't damage the lug either. I might try the filing idea in a future video. Thanks pal👍🏻
I like the cutting across the widest part trick. Nice one I’ve probably wasted 15 mins a core in the past.I don’t do big ends all the time. But I do enjoy the challenge.
But that tip I’ll be using in the future.👍
Sweet. Glad to be of service 👍🏻
Top notch install mate, you're a master
Cheers for that mate. Glad you enjoyed watching!
You are fantastic at your job, really!
Wow! Thank you very much. That's a really nice thing to say👍🏻👍🏻
Cameras don't do the cable sizes justice. Crazy you do that on your own
Cheers my man.
Subbed up
Would be good to see a tools video!
Great content!
I love it when I get video advice, thank you. I'll get one up and on the way. It's nice to have an insight into what people like to see. If you can think of anything else drop a comment and I'll try and do a video. No nudes though😂😂😂😂
I just did 2x 240s in less the 500mm more like 400mm....no choice die yo concrete deck above and panel height the gland was in the piss but we did the best we could..not sure who signed of the work.
Great job btw
That’s some magic there fair play
Cheers fella👍🏻👍🏻
Good job
Thanks man👍🏻
I would have got a gland plate made for the side entry.The swa cables would make a good coat rail..good work.
That was discussed but the time constraints were against us. I've just had to do the same thing with the other end of those two cables😞
Excellent content Tony. Great tip regarding cutting to accommodate Lug.👏
@@Aidiecantwell61677 as Tesco say "every little helps". It'll just get the lug started and when time is money it counts.
Wow! Once you removed the armour how the hell did you get the inner sheaths through the cable entries on the gland plate?? No room to swing a small Cat!
With a little help but mostly good measuring.
Good work to especially on ur own
Thanks bud👍🏻
Popper bit of work mate
I feel I have to ask the obvious.... what sort of places are you working that have THAT much 185?
Thats a serious amount of power distribution... what are you plugging into (ie the purpose of making the connections)?
It's a commerical installation. When you're working in that field, parallel 185's isn't a big deal.
I'd be asking why single core cables (ie a set of 300 or 400mm2 depending on derating and other factors) wasn't used, especially given the bend radius at the top of the board. Though with that being said, it's difficult to judge whether you'd be able to terminate a set of 400's onto the bars.
Believe it or not it's for retail units under Waterloo station. It has four transformers and one back up transformer. It's got some serious power supply, for what I just can't seem to fathom!!
@@jointechcabling9103 awesome!!!!
As its under waterloo station is this part of National Rail property or just 3rd party? As in do you need special extra National Rail paperwork in order to do the job!
I love seeing what you do in these vids, not a spark in amy form, but have a serious passionate interest in it and love just watching professional people do seriously professional jobs and make it look easy!! Seeing someone do something they are skilled at doing, and doing it well is just therapeutic to watch!!!
@@Thats_Mr_Random_Person_to_you the client is network rail but you don't need and special passes as we're not working "trackside". We still have to wear orange PPE though, which doesn't make sense to me.
Thanks for the comment, I made the videos to pass on knowledge that I've gathered over the years. I didn't realise people would watch that weren't electricians/appreciate electricians. I'm glad you do though and that you enjoy the vids. Cheers👍🏻
Can you recommend the racket device used to pull the cable up
It's a 250kg ratchet chain block. The one I have is made by Sealey. The chain isn't very long (about 1m) but it is really effective in a tight space.
