The lugs allow for a few mm of wiggle room. Since the cables are so stiff, you can be actually surprisingly accurate. The bigger nightmare is in my opinion the boys laying the cable through the ground. No room for error there 😮 get up short, and you are hosed.
Great work bro...i havent done that big myself 😂 so hats off 👏 great job and intriguing and interesting 👍 I am abit bored so be great to get into something new if knew how.😮😮
I think but may be wrong they are the 33kV connections to battery storage units like those at the 150MW HV battery storage facility adjacent to the Minety National Grid substation in Wiltshire.
Good video top work TH-cams needed a HV jointer good to see the process were you an electrician first then got into jointing or straight into do you work for your self also or company ?
Thanks for your comment, much appreciated ☺️ i used to be an electrician 1st, I have a video coming out Monday explaining how i got into it and what i started out as 👌👌
Just found your video, really cool mate. As a self employed domestic/commercial standard sparky, I feel basic 🤣 I’ve started subbing to an industrial firm in the hope to dip my toes into the proper work, and one day hopefully Hv too. Very inspiring video 👍🏼 can I come to work with you 🤣
Loving these videos mate 👍🏼 you come across well in videos can’t tell at all you’re not fully comfortable with it. You can also see you take a lot of pride in your work! There’s a lot of bodge it and throw it at the wall and hope it sticks in the LV side do you get that on the HV cable jointing side too? I was going to ask if you are able to show the testing sequence for those cables on a future video? I do a lot of electrical installation testing on the LV side. So it would be neat to see how you do it on the HV side. Take it easy 😎
Thanks Jake. Appreciate it! I would also say the same for the HV side to. You see a few people who have no experience and go on a week course and automatically think they are jointer. Next time i do some testing i will capture some footage and make a video about it! 👍
@@hvsparky I wish the electrical industry would follow the Gas Safe principle and you have to be registered to undertake the work because in Gas if you get caught doing dodgy stuff and bad work you can lose your license. Might stop people doing poor quality work that way That would be awesome thank you 🙏
brilliant mate, What Kv? are you terminating and do you also join cables for wiring the inside of the Switchgear? please more videos of this type is better than love island, awesome mate
@@hvsparky that's wicked that, I did go through some of your small clips just wishing it were full clips so intriguing and amazing just watching those thick cables been terminated and prepared please give us more... love it mate I swear. you sparkies are legends considering the voltage levels and the dangers involved and associated with arc flashes or explosions, Salute we take all this for granted as well, hat off to yah
@@hvsparky thank you for showing and teaching us mate, its rare quality for us to indulge in not your everyday type of video...this is the dogs ballocks, impressive really..cant wait and take your time mate quality is everything I reckon
Dude, safety glasses with all power tools with baldes, take it from one that would have been one eyed if not for glasses, and i dont know if its the angle of the camera, but dont cut down in your leg.
Amazing how precise and accurate you have to be for these HV connections! Thanks for taking the time and effort to record this - great work!

Suspiciously skilful with the lubricant 😂
😂😂 experience that is 🥴
Brilliant video pal keep em coming
Thanks James. Will do mate 🫡

Cheers mate, appreciate it 🤝🏻
I started doin hv works 10 yrs ago. I was a spark before but fancied a change.
@hvsparky give me hope as something different and nice to progress into new electrical adventures!
Thanks for replying 🙂
Proper interesting stuff.
Thanks, Kevin! Glad you found it interesting. Be sure to check out my other videos 👍🏻

Yes this is a battery storage site, circuit was 33kv, i also have done some work at the battery storage site at Minety back in 2020!

Thanks for your comment, glad you find my video cool. Sounds good mate, i started out as a sparky and then started jointing. 💪🏻💪🏻
Just curious, how did you arrive at 500mm square?
How did i arrive? Pulled up in the van 🚐🫣 Na just joking, its what it is pal, its printed on the cable.
cross sectional area =pi*(r*r) or pi r squared. Pi=3.14159 so for a 24 mm core the result would be 3.14159*(12*12)=492sq mm

Do you check if the other side of the cable is grounded? Greetings from the Netherlands
Greetings from the uk 🫡 this is a new site, and wasn’t connected to the grid! So everything was dead (not live)
brilliant mate, What Kv? are you terminating and do you also join cables for wiring the inside of the Switchgear? please more videos of this type is better than love island, awesome mate
Thanks for you comment 😊 i do the hv cables to the switchgear, i dont do the wiring (small wiring, armoureds)
Haha no problem i post every Monday 👌👌
