Blown up Cummins Repair

Welcome back! Today I’m taking you guys thru 90% of this generator job. This Cummins generator blew up after installation and we needed to disconnect all wiring from generator enclosure to service feed enclosure so this 15,000 lb enclosure could be lifted and we can replace the engine with a brand new one! Day 1 was removal of wires, day 2 was removal of fire pump and crane day and day 3 was splicing and heat shrinking everything back together. One more day is required here for termination in the switch gear but that date is tbd! Enjoy ! #femaleelectrician #electrician #electrican #lextheelectrician #construction #bluecollar #milwaukeetools #commercialelectrician #electricianlife #fypシ

always test to ground too.. cant tell you how many times I've tested across 2 lines and had 0, but then 1 line to the ground and a triple digit looks me in the face.

[@Dan-Weston]

Very cool to see commercial electrical work like this.

[@EvanT1995]

I work in industrial and I would be so lost without by T6-1000. Greatest tester ever made IMHO.

Love the comments about the check to make sure power is disabled. 100% solid advice!!!

[@mikethompson5305]

I just found your site, love it. I’ve been an electrician for 49 years, got my training in the military and have only known maybe three female electricians. And out of there only one I would call a real electrician, I love what you do I like your channel. I watched some some back videos, I wish more young people young women in particular would see the trades as a good alternative to college. You’re doing a great job. Please keep it up I’ll be watching. The old electrician

[@Lostin2024]

We need a podcast with “Karly the sparky” and “Lexi the electrician” You gals would have a very unique experience in the trades that would probably translate to a very interesting podcast. With zoom or FaceTime it could totally be done. I’d listen for sure.

[@allenwinston5157]

Wow. What an awesome job 👍. You and your team rock! Major league respect!!! Keep up the amazing work. B.t.w. your cable management is brilliant!

[@altair458]

I love this. I started my apprenticeship in 1975, loved every minute of it. Im retired now but I still pratice the trade for friends and family. Things have sure changed in the last 49 years. Love these videos👍👍. Remember SAFETY FIRST!! ALWAYS!!

[@edwindick2]

Very very great Job Lexi, and one very great Team Work .!!!

[@jaygosch8705]

This is amazing! There doesn't seem to be anything you can't handle! I really like seeing all the details. Don't worry if your video isn't perfect. Obviously, you need to focus on your work and stay safe. I'd much rather see the details with imperfect video than just see a few perfect shots and miss all the action. I've only done residential wiring, so seeing everything required on a large commercial job is interesting. I can't believe they wanted you to cut those cables in the middle like that! I probably would have asked to talk to whoever requested that and tried to explain how much extra work it would cause, plus a lot of unnecessary splices. Although you spliced them perfectly, they are still additional failure points. I don't complain often at work, but when someone requests something stupid like that, I speak up. If they insist, I'll do it, but i let them know first.

[@toothpastehombre]

Safety precautions are written in blood. Following the protocol is the smart move. Wild how much ego runs through the trades, asshats thinking they know better. Glad to see the example you're setting

[@vk2ig]

I often wonder if the ego is due to people not wanting to be told what to do - they see agreeing to such a request as a sign of weakness - or because they they're so self-conscious that they think they look "sissy" (not tough) in PPE.

[@VitalXtreme]

I had to bend conduit for the first time and i realized quick im not a fan. Mc i actually dont mind working with but conduit is insane. I respect all the journeyman and other apprentices that have mastered that art. Every time I see perfect looking conduit I get jealous.

[@DBD801]

Can you do a van walkthru video. I'm an elevator mechanic, always love to see other peoples setups for fittings, wire, tools etc.

[@Longeno55]

I get you regarding all the Burndy connectors you needed to install for the replacement generator leads. I lot of extra work and time, but you handled it. 😬 All the best!

[@stevenb5510]

Appreciate all you do and record to show us what it is like to be an electrician. Love the videos.

[@JH-zy1dj]

Props to you girl! I'm 250lbs and been in the game for 30 years now. I have a hard time moving things like loaded emt around. You are the only person I've seen that gives a shit and is obviously proud to be a Journeyman. Love to see you kill it. Keep it up.

“This cable tray was a biatch” classic. Those are some thick bois I can only imagine how much of a pain in the ass. Also I have heavy tool envy. #want that torque wrench so bad

[@Chevytech1977]

Whether you're working on household or industrial A/C or EV high voltage DC or A/C always use the rule of live dead live. Verify your meter works (live test), verify your circuit is dead (dead test), reverify your meter (live test). Best way to keep safe

[@vk2ig]

Good advice. No point testing with a dead meter ... might as well test it with a brick.

[@detectingohio5614]

That’s really impressive

[@bh9420]

Love your work as always!! Just curious about the test for dead/de-energised, I would do L1 to L2, L1 to L3, L2 to L3, and from Neutral I would test every leg N, to L1, L2 and L3 and lastly a proximity volt detector and test all devices on known live power. Maybe I'm just over cautious, LOL.

[@vk2ig]

I check neutral to each phase, just in case one is floating which won't show up on a line-to-line check.

[@JoseOrtiz_1416]

No such thing as over cautious, it’s always good practice to check for power for safety. I do this on a daily basis at work just because I’m trying to make it back home to my wife and kids every night

[@user-nu2su1tn2u]

Крайне необычно видеть многопроволочный кабель под болтовым соединением. По нашим нормам все многопроволочные кабели необходимо оконечить гильзой перед тем как затянуть под болтовое соединение. Сделано это для того чтобы кабель не распушался при затягивании и не повредить жилки.

[@Loudman._]

9:56 If only the keyboard warriors knew that only a 4 foot fall can be dangerous... A 6 foot fall can be fatal, shoutout to you for actually tying off. Ya never know when it could be that day something goes bad or someone falls. better safe than sorry! 👍🤣

[@downrangefuture6493]

Sure, but that lanyard expands at least 8 foot. It wouldn’t help in a real fall. But as 3rd party, you do what the safety man says. I’m glad I don’t work in I&E anymore. Not a bad job, just not for me.

[@MrBubyV]

🫡STRAIGHT BEASTMODE✊🏽 …….you kicked that jobs ass. Keep Showing ‘Em’ How It’s Done. godspeed Lexi.

[@Marktwain0241]

since wearing the harness is required by osha anyway not sure why you are catching a hard time about a harness.

[@TheShadowStalker.]

If you can (im not sure if your safety regulations will allow it) get a glue on gopro helmet mount and stick it on your hard hat. If you can afford to keep one on your chest to then youll have multiple shots to pick from in situations like the hair shot😂. Keep up the hard work and amazing content sweetheart!!!

I believe the Milwaukee digital torque wrench doesn't exceed 200Nm, correct? A torque of 600Nm would result in excessive overtightening
