So the installer made a mistake by pinching the wire in box connector? Rookie mistake. Hope he learns. If it was higher voltage it may jave tripped the breaker or could have done something way worse.
i see a lot of people saying they wish there was more youtubers that were electricians, so they could post work vlogs like this, maybe this is my calling when i become an electrician 👀👀
I'm an electrician in the US Navy and it's really interesting to see how similar yet different our jobs are. You seem to be a lot more hands-on/constructing and running tons of brand new stuff. While we mostly maintain what's currently on the ship and occasionally construct/run new cable. Also interesting to see just how different junction boxes and distribution boxes are in the civilian side vs. on a warship. Awesome video! Makes me want to continue being an electrician once I get out!
Love your videos man. Theres literally no other youtubers, even the big channels, that makes videos like yours. I like seeing how you actually do a job from start to finish
Nice neat job Jeff. I prefer using solid wire too, but my company would only buy stranded which I think is harder to work with and terminate. Curious though, shouldn't the receptacle next to the switch be GFI also?
why were the fixtures on at only 30% before you corrected the communication wiring? wouldn't they have defaulted to 100% - as if there was no 0-10V hooked up?
This is a dream job, he probably dreams about job sites this easy. I've seen an electrician cursing his lungs out once at a warehouse he was so pissed off, not to mention I almost accidentally killed one when I crashed into his lift backing out with my forklift. Guy was working on the ceiling and had the lift extended all the way (3 stories). I don't think it's all this glamorous but out of all the other trades this is definitely the least hard on the body.
