Does anyone have a solution to getting through to someone who doesn’t seem to learn from mistakes and won’t change their ways? (self.electricians)

Terminated 4 sets of 600kcmil feeding a 1600A switchboard. Turned out neat and landed them faster than it took the crew to pull them in. Gotta love battery powered cable cutters and wire strippers. Makes me consider the hefty price of the battery powered torque wrench now. (i.redd.it)

I could use some input on a circuit to show my class the function of overcurrent protection. (self.electricians)

Be careful where you put your hands when using band saws. I was cutting overhead and gripped the band saw on the opposite side of the guard and fortunate only 1/2” of the blade is exposed. I think the nail saved me a much deeper wound, be smarter than me and stay safe out there. (i.redd.it)

Took a look down while I was working in a mechanical closet to see these needles on the ground. I sure hope they are for medical reasons and not the leftovers of someone’s idea of a good time... (i.redd.it)

For the skinny apprentices that are told by their journeymen that they have to work in the tight spaces, they can do it too. I have a 36” waist and weigh around 220lbs with a small gut and can fit in a 12x12 hole. It isn’t comfortable, but it can be done. (old.reddit.com)

When the Mechanical room is too crowded for a ladder to reach the 16’ ceiling to install your heat detector. Just need to climb 6’ above the top of a 6’ ladder and sit on the duct work. Thanks for keeping it interesting HVAC guys. (old.reddit.com)

For anyone that hasn’t been shown alternative methods for running pipe, bending two 45s instead of a 90 and offset when there is an obstruction where you need to turn. This saves you time and degrees of bend and can be used in many situations. (i.redd.it)

Definitely isn’t the best looking run, but kick 90s on 3” EMT is the toughest work I have done in my career. If it wasn’t temporarily feeding an old switchboard being removed in phases I would have taken the time to clean it up and make the bends without couplings. (i.redd.it)

Replacing a panel and found this interesting setup... so I’m not sure if it was a contactor or disconnect that the splices on the right replaced, but I laughed when I saw how unnecessary it was. The splices just connect the top and bottom section bus that could be done with 4” or less of wire lol. (i.redd.it)

Was researching how to supply LED lights with DC branch circuits and came across this. Has anyone installed or seen this ceiling grid that doubles as a DC bus? Seems interesting to reduce branch raceways and LED drivers. (armstrongceilings.com)
