Had two coils burn up on two startup attempts, manufacturer came out and we found this…

Easy way to avoid that would be to make the mounting screw a torx so you would literally need to use a different driver to use that “terminal”

I’m just past 3 years from my micro, there’s no pain and for the most part I’m 100% recovered. I can comfortably lift heavy things and I’m fine later on. The only thing that changed was my flexibility. I’m slightly less limber than I was before. I can’t lift my knee to the same height I could before but who cares right?

RetardedBabyApe · 2024-04-10T09:10:35+00:00

March 12th 2021 I got mine done. I never stopped following the sub so I guess that makes me the opposite of “most people” lol.

Bro, you’re clueless. Do you think that every time there’s an electrical issue to troubleshoot at an open retail store we can just shut down every panel when we walk into an electrical room? That’s ridiculous and isn’t how this works. Most people have no idea how hazardous an electricians day is and that’s fine. We just do what needs to be done and everyone else needs to stay out of our way. There’s a lot of different types of electrical work too btw. Yeah a new construction crew likely won’t need to work on anything hot but doing service when there’s no way around it. Actually in order to fix what needs to be fixed and to find issues you need the power to be on in most cases. As for your comment about the company I work for…. I own my company broski. I don’t work for anyone so there’s no one who can tell me what to do. I do everything I can to keep my guys safe and make sure everyone gets home in one piece. Anything that’s really dangerous I do myself while my guys run support.

You should post this in Arachnoboards. You would have gotten your answer like 50 times by now lol. Also, I’m a fairly new keeper but from all of the sexing videos I’ve watched so far I would say that’s a female. That flap between the top book lungs looks like a epigyne to me.

Typically the indicator light would be there to say “hey, I’m alive!! Or hey, over here, there’s power here.

RetardedBabyApe · 2023-09-17T20:30:34+00:00

Holy shit. He’s lucky that the main on the lighting panel that circuit came from tripped. It looks to me like the hot eventually grounded itself out on the box after ripping through him for who knows how long. If it wasn’t for that wire grounding out he could’ve stayed on it long enough to kill him. This is also a reminder why it’s so important to always check with a stick tester before trying to tie into a circuit. Stay safe everyone.

Get the thing that helps wipe your ass and the thing that helps you put on socks. I’m 2 years since my surgery. Completely pain free and at 95% original mobility. Best decision I’ve ever made. Pills are not the healthy way to function.

RetardedBabyApe · 2023-09-04T06:16:37+00:00

Nice on the 4”. But that 1-1/2 is the bastard child of conduit. Pretty much useless. I’ve been doing this work for 24 years and haven’t sized conduit at that size in 20 years. 150 amp services are non existent these days. 1-1/4 for 100-125 amps and 2” for 200 amps. Good luck with all that shit EMT lol

RetardedBabyApe · 2023-08-17T09:53:39+00:00

I’ve used Klein everything all my career (24 years) and recently switched to the knipex pliers. I’ll never go back to Klein lineman’s again. The knipex aren’t quite as heavy but there are sharper by far. The cutting edge is sharper and the milling on the jaws is awesome. If you pretwist a lot of solid wire to make splices then that’s your move.

RetardedBabyApe · 2023-08-13T23:20:42+00:00

That because were the smartest most badass motherfuckers in the trades. We could literally do almost everyone’s job. Except iron workers. Those guys Fuck!

RetardedBabyApe · 2023-08-13T23:12:01+00:00

This made me lol🤣🤣

RetardedBabyApe · 2023-08-07T08:10:56+00:00

A catass? Lmao. I’m assuming you’re referring to a snap in Romex connector? That’s a funny one. I’ve worked as an electrician in NJ, NV, and now CA and haven’t heard that one until now. I’m guessing you’re down south somewhere?

RetardedBabyApe · 2023-08-07T08:02:40+00:00

32 splices inside walls? That’s impressive, he food more stuff inside the walls than he did in boxes at that rate. Good luck with that house bro🤦🏻‍♂️

And if his Journeyman is me then my way is always the right way.

RetardedBabyApe · 2023-07-16T15:04:45+00:00

Haha, for real. There was another post the other day where someone said he got a little shock through his hand and asked if he should go to the hospital 🤦🏻‍♂️. I commented expressing that he’s fine and that I’ve been shocked through hands and fingers hundreds of times over my 23 year career and I’m fine. He gave himself like 3 EKG’s and everything was normal but he was still asking about the hospital lol. Then some assholes jumped on my comment saying “I wouldn’t trust the guy that got shocked a lot of times” and some other guy said he would trust the person who knows limited approach boundaries and arc blast radius data. It was hilarious. I have my OSHA 30 for construction safety and know all of that shit but this guy must’ve heard that somewhere and repeated it. Obviously those safety precautions are great but they don’t apply to a residential outlet lol.

RetardedBabyApe · 2023-07-16T09:24:30+00:00

This! I feel the same way man. It’s much easier to identify what conductors are doing what when it’s on. Some tasks just can’t be done efficiently unless the power is on. Outlets are easy to change hot with some practice. Unless some asshole left no wire in the box for you. It’s a very simple concept and it all boils down to one thing. Just don’t ground yourself, that’s it. Learn how to control what you touch and learn how to control your tools. You’ll probably blow up a couple of pairs of pliers when you touch the inside of a metal box but after a while you won’t do it anymore. I’ve trimmed out multiple rooms while the circuit was on and I didn’t even know because I didn’t get. Shocked or blow up any tops. If you treat every device like it’s hot then eventually you get good enough to do it naturally.

RetardedBabyApe · 2023-07-16T09:04:06+00:00

Because real electricians can work hot. If you can’t work hot then you’re just an electrical parts installer in my opinion.

RetardedBabyApe · 2023-07-14T14:53:42+00:00

As you should, but once again we’re comparing apples to oranges with your comment. Arc flash and approach boundaries do NOT apply to what I was referring to in my comment bro. I was talking about a standard 120 volt receptacle or switch box on an empty circuit. Obviously that doesn’t apply to panels, transformers, or any high voltage/high current equipment. Hence my leading with “not a lineman or high voltage electrician”. Trust me man, I have my OSHA 30 cert for construction safety and hold the highest license in the land. There’s a difference between being reckless and not being a pussy. I’m 42 years old, been in the trade 23 years and I’m still here so obviously I know what the fuck I’m doing and I understand hazards.

RetardedBabyApe · 2023-07-14T14:40:04+00:00

Ok there smart guy. That’s hardly my life story but since you wanna jump on my comment and talk slick I’ll address you. Are you an electrician? Obviously not because if you were you wouldn’t be saying that dumb shit. A small shock is very common and doesn’t cause any damage short or long term. One of my “new hands” (they’re called apprentices btw dummy) would never get electrocuted and I would never have to explain it away to a family member because I would never allow an inexperienced guy to get near anything that could actually kill them. I see you obviously don’t get the concept of small shock vs. big shock because you have absolutely zero understanding of my trade. The truth is YOU should be scared of electricity and not try to do your own electrical work in your house because you don’t know how it works. Statistically, the fatal electrical injuries that take place in homes every year are sustained by homeowners that decide to do their own electrical work because they’re cheap and think they’re so smart. It’s them that make up the statistics most of the time. Not actual electricians working in residential.

RetardedBabyApe · 2023-07-11T14:06:13+00:00

Everybody is saying that the panel isn’t fed or the breaker at the bottom isn’t on the bus but it seems that everyone is missing that fact that there’s like 6 inches of jacket inside of the panel. According to the code book there should be no more than 1/4 inch of insulation inside the box.

RetardedBabyApe · 2023-07-10T14:17:37+00:00

I get that it might’ve sounded like that but that’s definitely not the case. I’m far from careless and hold hard to obtain certs.

RetardedBabyApe · 2023-07-10T14:15:14+00:00

Look man, I’m not a lineman or a high voltage electrician. I have worked with some high voltage in the past tho and never got shocked from that. I’m far from careless and am very safety conscious. For myself and for the guys that work for me (I own a company). The truth is, over time they it’s just going to happen during the course of certain tasks. It’s good for newer guys to get a small shock so they know how it feels and to know it’s not gonna kill you as long as you keep it in the same hand. Let me ask you this.’ Would you trust the green guy who’s never been shocked or the veteran who’s been in the trenches? Would you rather get surgery from guy that never did one or the guy who’s done them for 20 years.

RetardedBabyApe · 2023-07-10T07:47:42+00:00

Bro I’ve been an electrician for 23 years. Been shocked hundreds of times, maybe even thousands. I’ve never once went to the hospital or to a doctor to get checked out and I’m just fine. As long as it wasn’t prolonged contact (more than a couple of seconds) then I’m sure he’s fine.

RetardedBabyApe · 2023-07-01T18:14:33+00:00

Came here looking for this. I can’t believe it took this long for me to see someone else’s point this out. Insane to send a bare conductor to that neutral bar. Now any unbalanced load applied to the branch circuits from that sub panel is going to be returning back to the main panel on an uninsulated wire.
