[@peterhodgkins6985]

Low voltage is indeed a real thing. It's usually at the end of a line. (more recent development) When I was in the oil/gas/power gen field as a field service rep for a large industrial gas turbine manufacturer, we worked with a couple utility organizations in Southern Cal and Az to install some 5-6 MW mobile gas turbine generator sets to help correct voltage sag on lines as an alternative to hugely expensive line upgrades. Independent cogeneration plants are sometimes required by the utility to run really wonky (leading) power factor settings in an effort to help boost line voltage. The cogen plants like to run close to unity on the leading side (e.g. .98) to maximize real power and generate less vars since they don't get paid for their reactive contribution to the grid, and the real power (KW) that is one of their revenue sources tends to suffer with the power factor settings that the utility requires. It's always about the money! ;) And yeah - Low voltage combined with loose connections is a real formula for trouble. Nice job sorting that one out!

[@liam3284]

Surley the utility can invest in a STATCOM, or even take advantage of solar inverter reactive power to help with voltage? Running the generator 'wonky' is not good for it.

Chris you can get Allen bits from Wiha for your Torque driver . If you wanna go cheap you can also use a small ratcheting 1/4" Torque set with Allen bits made for bicycle parts , or just use a regular Torque wrench with the Allen bits you need for that application . Point is there are lots of options besides the proprietary Wiha bits .

[@petermichaelgreen]

I had a look on Wiha's site and I could find metric hex bits in the style used by that screwdriver but not imperial ones :(

[@dcwarr14]

@@petermichaelgreen They use a 6 mm receiver end as well, so standard 1/4" bits don't fit in their slimline series.

[@alexanderkupke920]

@@dcwarr14 Yeah, if I remember right they use the regular 1/4 " for most everything but the 6 mm for what they call slim bits. They are smaller in diameter including insulation as regular bits and especially insulated bits some times do not fit those recessed screws. Not that it is recommended to connect those wires under power anyways, so it should not matter if the tool is insulated. I wonder if a few turns on a piece of emmery paper or with a file to reduce the schank of a dedicated bit by those 0.35 mm would work as well. They do have some other slim bit sets, but non for hex. This also seems to be a rather new product, maybe there are some more things to come. Another thing to try, there is one piece in the kit listed as an adapter for 6 mm slim bits, maybe it is worth to try if a quarter inch bit fits directly into the holder. on the other hand, that thing is quite long and seems to lock in way in the back, so not sure if that works. However, there seems to be another adapter available for 1/4 " sockets for that driver (Wiha No. 43128), so if nothing else, that one might work with a 1/4 " hex on a 1/4 " socket. Might be worth trying to contact them and ask about it as well. Not sure how prominent they are on the US market yet, they sure are not unknown, but being a German company, here in Europe no one cares about imperial sizes a lot, not even sure if you even find a lot of hex here on electrical connectors as well.

[@tallbrian100]

I can't believe how low the voltage is by you, around here we tap transformers run high unloaded. Every volt lower the amps go up, amps is heat and more voltage drop.

[@Starchface]

Watching the video, I was thinking exactly that. Chris has discussed the issue numerous times. I can only imagine the utility doesn't want to risk an overvoltage situation in low-demand periods and has exhausted all easy solutions.

[@liam3284]

I assume these are 120/208 services. Could be wrong.

What you said at the beginning and end of the video is so true. Every day we get is a gift, whether it seems that way or not... Pay it forward if you can...you never know when it just might make someday's day. Around these parts, the electrical utility taps all their transformers a little too high.

HVACR Videos, Chris you guys have it made with all the digital tools at your disposal, it makes it a lot easier and I love the Idea of benchmarking units, from the start that way you can see the progression of a units overall decay in performance. That would be like having a crystal ball in helping you to determine when the unit is just too far gone to make repairs worthwhile. Back in the old days of the late 80s almost all of our tools were analog, because of my military background, I totally love digital anything. As soon as the tool manufacturer came out with a digital too I grabbed the first one. I had a deal with Fieldpiece they gave me a 50% discount on all their tools and I gave them honest field-tested results and reviews. It was great I didn't have to pull any punches and when a tool was a POS, I told them so and why. Until I retired in 2013, I had every tool and accessory Fieldpiece made.

I'm not in HVAC. The letters after my name are A&P (Airframe & Powerplant). I can appreciate a craftsman and the pride they put into their trade. Because of the schooling I went through in college, and all the other acronyms you acquire after your name, people like me end up working in an office. I'm far more comfortable with a tool in my hand. I get satisfaction seeing the fruits that working with your hands bring. I really enjoy listening and following along with you as you work. The way you deliver this knowledge adds to the satisfaction. I didn't appreciate the knowledge of 3 phase power that I learned. I knew what buttons I needed to push to pass the tests, but I had no intention of using that knowledge in the future. I just figured that I'll know where to go to get the answers in the future, if I ever really need to. If I had the ability to go back to Environmental's and study vapor cycle and air cycle machines over, I'd probably love it this time around. In Advanced Airframe Electricity I just wanted to pass the class. A couple weeks ago, I had a neighbor with an air compressor down. He ran circles around me with his 3 phase knowledge.

Wonderful videos! Two things to note. NUMBER ONE. Chronic low voltage 3 phase voltage will cause over current draw. ( DUH! Right?) What one does not realize is this problem not only burns out your clients components, but the utilities equipment too. The utility wishes to safeguard their equipment. Time to really think about the really big picture. Advise your client to have the utility to monitor their voltage. They will GLADLY come out and install a strip chart type of monitor for FREE. A few days later they will retrieve it. A BUCK/BOOST transformer may be needed. Power quality management is taken seriously. In Sacramento, ask to talk to ANYBODY in " the power quality department" and the lonely nerds will jump to help! Upon success, in your area, advise cooperate! NOW we are talking about a REALLY big picture that truly helps all. Now for NUMBER TWO! I think I remember this location in another video..wasn't that same wire a little toasty before? I think that you shortened it. I may be wrong...let me know! All great techs and engineers lie somewhere on the Autism spectrum. Accept it. Embrace it. KNOW IT. Understanding it will allow you to Love it! Keep up the great work!

[@LogicalNiko]

An electricians rule for stranded cable in terminals is: tighten, wiggle, loosen, tighten, torque. The first time you tighten a terminal down it tends not to do a great job compressing the strands in larger gauge cables. So by just giving it a bit of a wiggle around, then loosening and retightening the strands will tend to order themselves in a more compact arrangement and are much less likely to be loosened up by heat/vibration.

For anyone that has never used one: You know that feeling you get when you use a tool that was probably designed by an engineer that the closest he's ever been to a worksite is that time he called a plumber to fix a leaky p-trap under his sink? Veto is the exact opposite of that feeling. These bags feel like they've been designed, tested, and refined by people that have used them every single day for years. Parts that wear out from ground contact? Reinforced with ABS plastic. Most commonly used handles? Ergonomic rubberized grips made for large hands and/or thick gloves. Detachable shoulder straps. Pouches everywhere. Modular compartments. Hooks. Rings. Padded space for laptops (in their tech line). They may be pricey, and you may find yourself wondering if they are worth the cost.

They aren't required to if each motor has internal thermal overload. Yes it sucks because the motor will keep single phasing, overheating, shutting off then resetting until someone notices.

[@Howie875]

They make 3 phase monitor devices. They hook up to each leg and if a leg is lost, it will open its internal switch which is connected to the low voltage control. The problem is these monitors are normally wired in to monitor the main power feed but are not normally installed closer to individual loads that may lose a leg because of some problem. Many times, a 3-phase motor that loses a leg will run backwards (and slow) until it either opens an internal overload or burns up,
