In this one I'm installing my favorite 3 phase distribution boards.
John Bagley kindly invited me to site to lend him a hand, and boy is there some work to do.

Channel is heavily underrated, as an apprentice I watch these all the time this line of electrical is very interesting. Great work mate love these vids

I got real excited when I saw the white-green box lol. Schneider is really nice. It's the more chill little brother of Rittal that actually plays along with you

Got a Isobar P going in on a pumping station upgrade this week. Always look forward to a Schneider install. The Acti9 Active stuff with built in connectivity is looking really smart for future installs.

Interesting to see how you guys do things different across the pond from the US. Takes a bit to do the translation of terms and names but the principles are the same. Of course, we float a neutral between the hots of our 240v at 60hz for a nominal 120v mains. Takes a few minutes to think through the metric wire sizes too. Thanks for the videos.

what helps is to cut the steel in the armor to about 20-30cm with a tin snips, then will be much easier to avoid hockey sticks

@paulharrison6408 2 года назад

Schneider are great boards internally for sure. What I find eternally frustrating with em is the lack of a plate that removes easily top and bottom to enable easy cut out of trunking and paxolin! Eaton for me are better to fit trunking to them

@anthonybragg 2 года назад

I thought that they did an interface plate? After doing a lot of Eaton with their board to trunking interface we thought the same.

@DanielPierce 2 года назад

In the US we use plug on neutral in residential boxes, there are new ones that are plug on neutral and plug on load, so you wire up the entire board and then the breaker just plugs in, no wiring to the breaker itself. They’re made by Leviton.

@TheChipmunk2008 2 года назад

Schneider even do the covered neutral with their domestic boards, just quality across the board (heh!)

@arcadia1701e 2 года назад

I do love Schneider boards, have fitted many of the IDQ 3 phase ones. But the price is eyewatering, the Isobar P stuff is insane, £100 + for 1 RCBO is just.....

@michaelcostello6991 9 месяцев назад

Great video Thanks. Not clear video when you were fitting cable to the trunking which apprentices would like to see. Also safety warning at end of video was not totally clear for apprentices. Quick sketch would have clarified this. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.

@tonyskilbeck8663 2 года назад

Nice one Mike. Enjoyed that a lot. You should always ignore the central knockout and drill your hole to the side. It allows for ease of termination as it gives you a little bit of a sweep sideways into the breaker.

I've got the Sacs tool and the ArmourSlice for SWA, I personally prefer the Sacs tool (although it is more expensive).

@eddieedmonds_ 2 года назад

One thing I used to do when the bigger knock out falls out whilst drilling a smaller hole inside it is use a banjo on one side of the gland or both and bolt it for aesthetics. Covers the hole nicely. Love your stuff man, camera upgrade is nice too!

have you ever used a sacs tool for armoureds miles better than the armorslice does cables great up to 25mm 4 core think it does up to 35mm but cant remember if ive done a 35mm with it is a wheel like exhaust cutter but a single wheel . keep up the good content nice tk see someone take abit of pride in there work

@seanmwh 2 года назад

I much prefer the grommet strip to paxolin it was already installed wasn`t the paxolin, I find if the cut is straight and filed and there is a glue as well for the strips. Good workmanship young man

@fountainwell49man65 Год назад

Should’ve used Hilti instead of Unistrut. It can move before being locked in position.

@johnc6343 2 года назад

FYI, knockouts "grab points" arent welded. The "cut" area is pressed into the sheet then its folded into shape.

@three-phase562 2 года назад

Nice install, I haven't really worked with the newer Schneider kit, only post installation. Looks very well thought out though. Have you changed to the Kewtech tester and proving unit from the Fluke? I had the Kewtech ages ago and swapped to the Fluke setup after the Kewtech failed.

@brnmcc01 Год назад

@@residualcurrent Only 415v? :) I remember installing a new mains board in a slaughterhouse back when I was in Canada, they used 347/600 3 phase there. The nice thing about 600v, is only need 1 amp per horsepower, so a 15 amp breaker could run a 15hp screw compressor. In the USA, 277/480v is a lot more common in larger commercial installations. In Canada, the two most common low voltages are 120/240 split phase, 120/208 3 phase, and 347/600 for the bigger stuff like all the saw mills on the west coast.

@SME_Ste 2 года назад

Hi Mike. When you isolated the DB you mention that as its isolated elsewhere and you would leave the DB main switch on in case of anything back feeding. Whats the benefit of leaving the main switch in the on position? Many thanks

@SME_Ste 2 года назад

@@residualcurrent Right i see. So basically anything back feeding in through a connected circuit making the busbars live, this would be identified at the main switch terminals. Thanks for explaining

@brnmcc01 Год назад

@@residualcurrent Shouldn't neutral to earth be bonded together anyway? I would check for voltage on N-E first, then set meter to continuity and make sure there's as close to 0 Ohms as practical between E-N. So that if something does happen, and there's a Line to Neutral short somewhere upstream, you're still safe. Just because you've locked off the mains MCCB feeding that sub panel, the neutral is still connected to the rest of the plant.
