Well I know myself and a few others, asked for some more content that didn't involve 'EV Chargers', and you have delivered. A massive thank you to you all for taking the time to film all this, given the situation and time, much appreciated by all your followers!. The backing music was also amazing.
Cory is a wealth of knowledge and would give bossman a run for his money ha! So difficult trying to find employees like these guys who don't just sit around and do nothing and then want the earth as payment... Great team!
They are getting paid really well from the get go because their boss cares about them, try getting that level of commitment to the employees from places like Amazon, Tesco, Screwfix, where you are just a number to them... if you don't like it you know where the door is attitude from all the big companies. Its a crying shame, they just care about their overheads and profit margins... no wonder people are miserable in their jobs, they are not paid their worth.
right, he's such a cry baby. I'm working in IT for 25+ years now, and next weekend will be another funny one. We'll have to shut down a whole data center (and bring it back online afterwards) cause the sparkies are too faint-hearted to work on its main power supply infrastructure while energized. And guess who will have to do the night shifts so that they can work nicely during the day? Only fair that it sometimes goes the other way around... :-)
Watching this on the train coming home from a night shift, know exactly what you are going through. Also really enjoying the chemistry developing (no lab pun intended) with Lee on the team. Need to be careful though safety-wise on nights, too easy to make a mistake when the brain is fogged by tiredness. Take care!
Welcome to the world of shift work. When I was your age I absolutely loved it and the old guys would moan about how much they hate shifts. Now I am one of those old guys I sure wouldn’t want to be starting work at 10pm anymore 😂😂
This jobs been designed and installed on the cheap for sure. All them accessories should have a DB reference label on them for a start, the split load boards etc… bobbins
That's why its so important in commercial and industrial settings to label all the sockets / switches and other connections with the panel/breaker. I know it takes time, but if you maintain that specific business it sure makes life easier. Even a hand drawn basic map as well with all the connections. I am the exception, I know to take the time and effort, but with over 650 m2 house and 80 breakers, the full listing sure has come in handy many times even in this house. I have almost 400 connection points (outlets / switches / hardwired points) in the house having a list is the only way to figure things out. You can't list what goes where on the breaker panel with that much detail. I guess that all came from my industrial control days and engineering. Great job guys! 👍🍻
Excellent vlog chaps and as always extremely impressed with your knowledge,commitment and determination, I wouldn’t hesitate in having you do work for me take care and best regards mark from billericay 😃👍
@@rogerbean393 sounds like here with Eskom. Eskom and the ANC were warned for years that we would need additional generators by 2008. Of course the ANC did nothing and then suddenly we had load shedding. Never mind it's not 2021 and we still have load shedding at times 🙄 They built Medupi and Kusile ass two new power stations. Coal fired too. They are behind schedule. They didn't achieve the output they said. They had design flaws and had to be fixed. Then they blew up one of the generators in August. Yes this is why SA is always a laughing stock. But we do have the best weather 😁
What's the name of that link lead Cory used for his R1+R2 testing at 13:00 minutes in, seemed to be magnetised or something as it fitted straight to the screw at the top of the breaker? Never seen anything like that before, seen plenty with croc clips etc. Looks like a handy lead to have
Pretty irresponsible for a company to ask people to drive and work with clearly insufficient rest time. Last job I worked in we sometimes needed to do overnight rail installs but my normal hours were daytime so if there was an install I wasn't allowed to work the day before or after but I didn't lose out on what my normal pay would have been plus I got extra for overnight/unsociable hours. Cory should have been sleeping the day before not getting to sleep "about midnight" driving with only a couple of hours sleep is how people die and possibly kill other people in the process. To deal with it sleep wise when I finished my day shift and got home I would stay awake until stupid o'clock in the morning then go to bed and sleep during the day, after finishing the night shift and getting home in the morning again I'd stay awake until late afternoon then go to bed.
@@dvrn86 Then they need to rex consider taking those jobs unless they want to risk HSE getting involved if an employee causes an accident after insufficient sleep, after the potential fines they may not have a business left.
Another great video, welcome to the weird world of night-shift working - I remember going to work on a Friday night when everyone else was going out to the pub!
Great video lads! Reminds me of a job years ago involving testing a fire system, evac and smoke ventilation etc in an newly built large airport. We reached the third day with no sleep and got to bed at 10am.
One of our major hardware chains keeps on banging on about a timber shortage and yet they've been recording record sales of timber for 12 months now! They never seem to have enough timber at the moment due to everyone buying all of it! I wonder if your fuel shortage has a similar cause?
Must be morning electricians. It's midnight here and I'm up for joining them at the pub 🤪 I wish! But yeah since I was a baby late to bed, late to rise. Hope you found diesel!
Having worked nights where a single mistake means instant dismissal it is easy to use calories to fight the tiredness. DO NOT DO THIS. You can expect to put on 40Kg (6 1/2 stone). It will creep up until you no longer need to hit huge intakes of food to keep this weight. It becomes the new normal which is almost impossible to lose. It all starts at 4am as you reach for a packet of biscuits.
Night jobs are always rubbish. Was there a jobsworth security bloke, there usually is? Also looks like the facility doesn’t care about quality much, network cables down the stair well, busted up aircon grilles and isolators. You’ll be fixing everything the let slide for the last 5 years.
Really great video guts. After the news today (which is not news really) concerning the shortages in the trade sector its good to show what the electrical world is like.
if the drone footage is correct I have identified your client but will not post it here. I believe you showing this may have caused them some damage, would I trust my medical test too a place that has poor electrics.
Just asking for trouble not using rcbos on a job like that, I would guess it was done by someone with little or no experience of doing a job like that.
Absolutely. (As they say at around 10:10) Not only does it mean each circuit has its "own" 30mA of leakage allowance - it also makes it much easier to identify which circuit(s) is/are at fault. And of course usually only ONE circuit will trip ( assuming there is only ONE fault - which is usually the case - barring some major damage etc affecting more that one cct - leaving the rest operating normally. Surely a FAR better way to go - especially in an environment like we see in this video. Personally - I ALWAYS fit RCBO's. I simply CANNOT see the point in fitting "split load" boards etc with MCB's where leakage/fault currents on several ccts thus add up on one single RCD **. ( and of course some of those leakage currents may well be "normal" - so it doesn't take much to get close to 30mA where say 6 or 7 circuits or more are "in the loop" - and - then it only takes a minor shift / surge in leakage to "trip the RCD " -bearing in mind many RCD''s will trip well below 30mA - (try the ramp test !) - and so then you have the even WORSE situation where you ask yourself - "is this a REAL fault?" - or is the system just "sailing close to the wind? - and so you end up spending a lot of time checking insulation resistance to find it is "ok" - and then chasing a few mA's of probably "normal" leakage on "loaded ccts" here and there...... ** The ONLY reason it is done this way IMO is to save a little bit of hardware cost ! How MANY times do we see the "cheap split load" 12-14 way board fully fitted out with a range of MCB's offered at "well known" trade outlets ?. Otherwise - WHY oh WHY fit MCB's / common RCD?? - For a the sake of a few extra £10's - is it worth it??
Jobs are done on a quote basis, and TH-cam pays for itself, the time would never be passed along to customers. It is even sometimes possible to discount certain things due to TH-cam.
Perhaps the org's operational requirements could not capitulate. I'm not a sparky, but I've worked with businesses that'd throw obscene amounts of money at minimising downtime. I'd like to think that Jordan at the very least pushed against it. It's obvious that the boys weren't firing on all cylinders.

Watching this as an IT infrastructure specialist just makes me smile that i'm not the only one that has this type of activities :))
Normally its just to restart a server

😂 I went to this exact job a while back. Glad we didn’t get the call back.
Don take up long distance truck driving. 6.03 That was comedy gold mate.......LoLz " I dont know why??"

Keep that beard growing Cory 🤙🏻
That looked rough guys, good on ya for keeping at it!
Thank you for the video. It's always entertaining!
Loved Cory's Dr Brown impression...!!! (17:37)
I'm running out of words to describe how good this channel is, keep it up!!!
ha ha Cory and Lee hope you get more than 3 or 4 winkes before work monday morning

Great teamwork guys ~ sleep well 💤💤💤💤
Great vid guys!! Keep up the positivity Cory 😉 where are the magnetic r1 lead from?
Nice videos keep it up😁
Thanks
🤣🤣🤣🤣 don't know why, love it
Love your arguments between "Arlow and St Evenage..... I have to say 'Arlow is worse than St Evenage.. Loving the videos boys..

A love child of John Travolta and Macaulay Culkin... :)
I feel your pain chaps I remember going to fault call outs at stupid hours too.
4am?! That’s nothing. That’s about when I am starting my shift and about a half hour from being live on tv across the state of Minnesota, USA.
Great video lads! Reminds me of a job years ago involving testing a fire system, evac and smoke ventilation etc in an newly built large airport. We reached the third day with no sleep and got to bed at 10am.
OMG! There way also Beautiful Bridge there. Great team! Hard work finds solutions to problems. Yummy breakfast at McDonald's Thumbs up! Cheers!
I take it you don't do an official 24/7 standby. You think nights are bad try Christmas day.
Earth leakage. New info. Thanks
Nice one lads
Thanks
Nice one lads everyone knows the answer to a fault finding mission is Mc Donalds its the food of champions 😁
Omg you two must be absolutely exhausted! I hope you are sleeping right now!

Hey, what make of trousers to you where cory? I need a winter pair! Great videos as well BTW guys keep up the good work!
Nice one corey
Harlow and Stevenage 😂😂😂
Fantastic vids guys. Absolutely love it. Word of criticism tho. next time when you are tired don't fly a drone with no vlos😉
Great video. What earth leakage meter was you using, do you recommend it? Cheers
Well done Boys
Nice one lee

Im not sure, was cory tired? He didnt mention it
Who puts split load boards in a commercial environment. House bashed out his depth?
Southwire the Doncaster cables of the US👌🏾
Feel ur pain guys - flashbacks to tech'ing at Ministry of Sound till 7am - never again!
Being an Owl is fun, it's more much stress free. As all the normal irks are snoring their heads off. True there's not a lot of support in the dark.

I hate working nights they are a killer especially the first night. I never get a good kip during the day. Proper crap
Good Job Lads.
Wondering why they used a cowboy firm? When running lab equipment power tripping midway could be catastrophic

Ewww who puts BG brushed steel sockets on a dado trunking ? 😂 and why !
Is it possible to convert from a fire and security engineer to electrician
Of course it is mate! If you do Fire Alarm systems than you'll have a base line for how circuitry etc works.

quite a dodgy set-up for sure. not securely mounted electrical panel or overhead lamps.

Need to swap all your ICE's for EV's ;-)

At 23.58 of the video you drove past where I work. Thankfully I wasn’t there on the Sunday but I would’ve waved if I saw you on my commute.
