As a Canadian Electrician, i love the cleanliness of the install and how easy I would be to repair these installs however I can say that the main reason we avoid this method of installation is that each plug and light having its own dedicated path to the circuit breaker panel is extremely expensive. The smallest breakers we can use in a residential installation is 15Amps as required by the NEC / CEC as such the wires we pull minimum size must be 14 AWG. However this allows us to create MWBC (Multi-Wire branch circuits) or Edison Circuits which massively saves on the required amount of copper. Also our building standards are much different, Our high-rise buildings tend to only have concrete walls between units, all interior walls are either wood frame or steel frame which allows us to run wire behind drywall (before its installed) and the ceilings would have a small gap above them for wires and plumbing to be ran before drywall would also be installed. Both methods have their reasons for existing and both have their drawbacks. All that conduit looks like it takes some time to install + the time to pull each individual circuit where in north America I can wire a small 6 office floor in a few days. but it can be a pain to add or renovate, especially if the client wants to avoid damaging the drywall for new installations.
@@steveurbach3093 It may be allowed (I'm not sure on that) but you wouldn't really want to because with the exception of maybe an isolated circuit that only hanndles LED lighting, it's gonna blow the minute anyone puts any real amps through it. The reason most small appliances in the US cap out at 1800 watts is because that will pull about 12.5 Amps at 120 volts. You try putting a standard 1800 watt microwave on a 10 amp circuit and you're blowing it every time.
In the UK we use metal containment like basket or tray. The cables are then secured using metal braces if above head. The reason: A few years back, there was a fire on a construction site. The fireman entered into the building to tackle the fire. It got so Hot that the plastic cable ties (tie wraps) and plastic conduit melted, and the cables fell on to the fireman. He then got tangled up in the copper wires and eventually died from the fire.
'without following NEC" Proceed to draw a summoning circle on the ceiling. Next video: "Why I got 666 missed calls from NECA." Great worksmanship as always! Thanks for the amazing installation work!
Master electrician, 40 years, really don’t see anything wrong, work was executed in a workmen like manner, regardless of lack of NEC ; codes & technical specifications worldwide are very similar and based on NEC. Grounding, Wire protection, flame spread, physical protection of conductors, only problem I saw was with damaging that beam.
"codes & technical specifications worldwide ... based on NEC" - No. Not in Europe. Not in Russia. Not in countries that were former colonies of European countries.
It’s closer to IEC standards, especially the circuit breaker box. Conduit is commonly used in many countries, for example Australia. Less common in Europe due to the additional cost. As long as the wire gauges and circuit breakers are of the correct size, I do not see how the installation in the video would violate the NEC or any IEC based electrical code. There are various details that may be required in some countries such as the sizing of junction boxes or exclusive use of UL listed components, but in general this electrician is delivering a system that is commendable and looks safe as well as easy to maintain.
maybe only residential, but Conduit and wire systems like this are used everywhere in US commercial and Industrial spaces. this method is not substantially different from American conduit systems save for the breaker panel, which I gotta say, American breaker panels are better than these.
@@nhitc6832no they don’t? If following the NEC, they aren’t supposed to look like messes. You guys are nuts to think that US isn’t superior in our codes. Follow the codes properly, not only do you have save, hidden, and more clean looking electrical installations. Not sure what type Electicians you guys are, but I take serious pride in all my jobs and my stuff looks fucking mint.
I enjoy your videos , I might not agree with and like the way a lot of the stuff is done and find some stuff just not practical BUT I do appreciate you showing us the way other countries do electrical .
When comparing NEC against a 220/240 Volt system out of the NEC code area it is important to keep in mind the voltage difference. A 120 Volt (NEC) installation will require the dobbed amount of copper to be comparable to a 220/240 Volt system that deliver the same wattage to the end-user, that fact alone makes a NEC installation much more expensive as the 220/240 Volt.
Hello, as a German "Elektromeister" , I see many problems here. I don't know if you are familiar with the 'DIN VDE'. It precisely regulates how electrical installations should look and the technical requirements they must meet. I claim that, although we might not build as aesthetically pleasing in Germany, our electrical installations are technically much safer than those here.
What’s in this case less save compared to a installation according to VDE? Would something just like the conduit work be possible in Germany? I thinks it’s a beautiful work and it allows for easy repairs and adjustment compared to putting cables into the wall without conduit.
@@maxmustermann9858 DIN 18015-3 specifies installation zones as an example. This ensures that no cables are accidentally drilled into, as all cables and lines are laid in specified zones. This means that other tradesmen always know where cables are laid and where they are not. This is completely disregarded, for example. Without good documentation, there is a high risk that someone will accidentally drill into a cable at some point.
The only real "bad" aspect of this install is jamming loads of cables into one terminal, copper bus bars are much more effective, better connections, faster install time and less space taken up in the enclosure. Bunching lots of small cables in one terminal can lead to uneven tightness in the connection
@@cal5566 same concerns, is that terminal "12:00" really capable of handling that many cables? in my opinion a DIN distribution block would be a perfect addition for this situation.
5:42 Why do we, as structural engineers, always say that the concrete cover is so important? Structural bars must always be covered if it is exposed (how is rust produced? Water + oxygen = rust - Because it is exposed, it becomes easier). Thus, the structure has weakened and is unable to perform the function for which it was designed. I do not criticize the worker's work, I'm just discussing structurally
The installation in houses in the Netherlands is similar. The difference is that all pipes are embedded in concrete. Pipes and boxes are placed on special formworks before pouring concrete.
There would be no reason to pipe a closed loop for all 5 boxes in the circle. When you go to wire it, one of those conduit chases will be left empty. Looks good like that but not practical. Very nice work
@@ericnelson4540 anastomosis for make easy the wiring? maybe useful but may get a tube unused. But i do the same because here in Peru always we update the wiring setting.
Most people are not realizing that all of this work will get skim-coated in place by plaster or cement, and will not be visible when completed. Hat tip to this guy for clean workmanship, using the standards that are applicable in his country. (also noted, his knowledge of geometry on the fly to swing a 72° arc to get five evenly spaced pendant light backboxes....r x 1.1754 for those at home) If he was in the States, he would most likely be a licensed electrician, trained to standards that are in effect here. The standards set forth where he is are just as comprehensive, and just as rigorously enforced - if not more so. I think it is cool to see how the rest of the world does their wiring practices. There are a lot of aspects here in the States that are way behind the rest of the world (DIN rail and equipment inside residential panels - what the rest of the world calls a 'consumer panel'? yes please.)
@@christopherhayden7422 "ten times faster and easier" is a lie people like to tell. Almost like it's bragging, when it's not actually that way: it ISN'T any faster than imperial, and "easier" you have to prove in every situation to prove it true. 6 feet is basically 2m, so it's not like you are just working with ones and tens and scaling back and forth, and you still need basic math to do anything human-sized. If someone decided that ~6ft (average sized man) was 1 meter, THEN it would probably be easier. But they had to pick a relatively arbitrary size and call it a meter. (Yes, I know why the meter is the size it is.) No, it's usually just a way for arrogant people to attempt to say they're better.
I just want to easily add 15amp fused sockets and relocate 220 for my pressure washer without dealing with horrible garbage made by people who don't care 😐
US isnt world's centre. Every country has its own standards for all kinds of things, electrical wiring included. US has a grid-to-resident supply of 110v. Some countries have 220v. Also, I see that power sockets in US households don't have a dedicated switch beside them. I personally find that to be dangerous, especially because whenever you plug in something that draws a lot of electricity (like a toaster, heat gun, refrigerator etc...), it sparks when you plug them in. I get that you have breakers as a safety measure but as someone who grew up in a country where we have dedicated switches next to each power outlet, I find this to be much safer and reassuring.
US has grid-to resident supply of 240v with a split phase neutral used to provide two legs of 120v for common outlets and fixtures while maintaining 240v to higher-demand items like stoves.
I have a pic on my phone from a house here in Texas in the US.. All the ceiling lights and wall recepticles were ran off one fuse, all of them were connected together in the ceiling, in a big knot, in the open, not mounted or in a box.. on top of insulation.. with wire cap connections. 2 bedroom, 1 n 1/2 bathrooms. Laundry room. Living room, kitchen, front porch.. 7 lights. 4 wall recepticles All ran to one spot, and all bound together with wire caps off the breaker line.. Caps on caps on caps. Pairing up n capping em. After all connected.. They folded n balled up the string of wiring.. And set it on the livin room insulation. Its the size of a cantaloupe. The best part.. They installed a plate over the breaker so it wouldnt kick off due to over draw of power. It was the metal plating off the back of a desktop computer where your ports stick out the back of the case. Screwed to the fuse panel box. No wonder it was deemed for demolition N yes. In the walls n all after removing the drywall.. Alot of the wires sheathing had melted off. Total fire hazard if the walls would of had any kind of insulation in them.. I mean still was anyways Damn i love America. Hahahahaha
Its Art, Its easy to mount.. but the true work its the tracing. In the breaker box, i choose the bus contact else to work the wires,. these pvc tubes are better quality than Peru. I m impressed with the breaker switchs they are very compact because only takes a unique slot. Here takes two slots. But, i dont like the beam damage..
@@CIFYou Then you can tell us which IEC standards that was in play here, there is a lot of them and they are in many sub variants, not all places use the newest variant (they do not have to), now and then these sub variants differ a lot, some are a total rewriting others are just a small adjustment here and there. Local code determinate what IEC to follow and what sub variant to use too.
@@K2teknik.In that case, you may refer to specific regulation. To tell everything here, akin to opening a textbook and throw everything here. You shall guess what country based on the color code of the wire. If not, even we tell everything on the regulations, here..... Its useless, pointless and idiotic.
@@ketanpadal9833you have to pull it through something like a tight handgrip, a small pipe,...that straightens the wire out - every electrician should know that trick, works very well
as an American electrician everybody saying how neat it all is...don't get me wrong its nice but I'm trying to figure out the breakers/wire color coding(neutrals, hots, grounds, etc.) and how many phases if it even has phases. I loved the video and I'm curious if they get paid by the hour, by the work done and what the scheduling is like cause that's probably time consuming
Don't really see any violations. Maybe more than 360° on conduit runs. I do alot of this same type on installs in motor control cabinets using tray cable. The 2" hole in the j-box was concerning.
as far as running conduit, no this is not substantially different from the US. The materials and exact specifications might differ slightly, but as far as running wire in conduit, its basically the same any US installation which uses conduit. The only real point of difference is the breaker box, which i have to say, American breaker boxes are much better than that style of box, far easier and less labor intensive to install, since American breaker panels use bussbars to supply all the breakers, this makes it more flexible and safer. Now dont get me wrong, I'm not saying the American system is better in every way, our system does have its problems in other area's, but as far as breaker panels go, American ones (this includes canada and mexico), are better that other standards.
I understand, thank you for giving me more knowledge. Actually in America the quality is much better. I'm sure about that. I looked into NEC. It is very good and safe for users
They do make DIN bussbars that can simply a lot of what you see in the video, gotta pay more though. We just never really adopted DIN specifications for power distribution in the US. Honestly, I kind of like DIN compared to standard breakers in the US, for the modularity. You can build a box to basically any size for a set of rails.
If I am not mistaken in the area where we live this kind of PVC is not allowed especially when you exposed the installation. Because PVC are weak against impact. Minimum requirement are IMC not EMT. Also this kind of installation makes the slab or walls become weak. Why not just run a cable tray instead of those long pipes. Cable trays can be more economical as it can fit different sizes of wires.
1 drunking or cable tray can carry all cable, make all's in center can save to avoid disturbing others architectures or equipment's installation space.... I wondering after they put that's many of conduit's on ceiling, how's the plaster ceiling support get space to install..... This kind of installation will make trouble with others specific contractor's super headache and hard to install their things.... or maybe the whole renovation everyone just corporate to priority and suit for electrical installation works, even no need to install furniture or ceiling?
Worried about the amount of building that's been removed, is that ok? In the UK we run rings and radials, it's much cheaper. I guess its easier to replace a cable here, but with modern techniques and PVC cables that last forever, not sure you'll have get enough maintenance benefit, just the shear amount of conduit increases your risk of a fixing damaging a cable.
As I recall the poster stated this was an "Emerging Country", (interput this as 3rd world country), so any discussion about not conforming to NEC, EU, Canadian code does NOT apply. And making it easier/cheaper for the Contractor does NOT mean it is good/better as code is just doing the bare minimum. I for one don't want "bare minimum" in any of my buildings.
I'm no american, idk how the nec works, but i do prefer your way of doing it, it all looks so neat and like it needs to be that way, nothings out of place, everything is as it should. I would trust this more
@@CIFYou The high chlorine content of PVC-U causes an advantageous combustion behaviour. Self-ignition resulting from temperature influences occurs only at 450 °C. PVC-U burns when exposed to an open flame, but extinguishes immediately after removing the flame. The oxygen index amounts to 42 %. (Materials that burn with less than 21 % of oxygen in the air are considered to be flammable). PVC-U thus falls in the best flammability class V0 according to UL94, and in the B1 building material class
It makes it so much easier when you have to change anything afterwards - new internet cables, a new outlet,...it absolutely sucks to work with a messy, disorganized electrical installation
@@braindecay9477 yep. i'm looking at having to rearrange all my wiring in the attic (1st floor apartment) that was installed in the 60s (UK resident) prior to having a consumer unit upgrade.
a man after my own heart. Speaking as a general contractor. I see that he installed the demon summoning portal on the ceiling. That's a new one on me but I'm sure it's the standard in his country.
Very neat and artistic. This method is not more efficient or better than North American systems for installation time, the amount or the amount of materials used, or safety.
I thought PVC was too flammable to use in conduit? at ~6:00 they ate a whole lot of the Primary concrete joins support to curve those conduit traces through. hope that's not load baring. This stuff looks great, very aesthetically pleasing.
can you please tell me what PVC type you installed? it's seem like very easy to use and very easy to bend unlike the other PVC pipe...I like your job very neat...

The smallest breakers we can use in a residential installation is 15Amps as required by the NEC / CEC as such the wires we pull minimum size must be 14 AWG.
However this allows us to create MWBC (Multi-Wire branch circuits) or Edison Circuits which massively saves on the required amount of copper.
Also our building standards are much different, Our high-rise buildings tend to only have concrete walls between units, all interior walls are either wood frame or steel frame which allows us to run wire behind drywall (before its installed) and the ceilings would have a small gap above them for wires and plumbing to be ran before drywall would also be installed.
Both methods have their reasons for existing and both have their drawbacks.
All that conduit looks like it takes some time to install + the time to pull each individual circuit where in north America I can wire a small 6 office floor in a few days. but it can be a pain to add or renovate, especially if the client wants to avoid damaging the drywall for new installations.

It was an apartment building, the wires were retrofitted coaxial cable, and you are correct about the outcome.

Tho I am not familiar with the electrical code there, I give him full props for Aesthetics and neatness 😀
Its Art, Its easy to mount.. but the true work its the tracing. In the breaker box, i choose the bus contact else to work the wires,. these pvc tubes are better quality than Peru. I m impressed with the breaker switchs they are very compact because only takes a unique slot. Here takes two slots. But, i dont like the beam damage..
whatever about the NEC guidelines - did they just break out a chunk of the concrete to radius the tubing ?
maybe
wow I've never seen such a clean electrical installation !!!
It's very simple: after a couple years of use, count the number of "crispy critters". If it remains at zero, then the installation is safe.
Ny boss would agree with this work. It’s very clean. Can I ask since it is not using NEC, are they using IEC standards?
Oh, it is following IEC standard
@@CIFYou Then you can tell us which IEC standards that was in play here, there is a lot of them and they are in many sub variants, not all places use the newest variant (they do not have to), now and then these sub variants differ a lot, some are a total rewriting others are just a small adjustment here and there. Local code determinate what IEC to follow and what sub variant to use too.
@@K2teknik.In that case, you may refer to specific regulation. To tell everything here, akin to opening a textbook and throw everything here.
You shall guess what country based on the color code of the wire.
If not, even we tell everything on the regulations, here..... Its useless, pointless and idiotic.
Can you tell me how you make your wire so perfectly straight like a straight line?
A laser ruler will do that and especially follow the drawings
Maybe it's just the kind of wire is just more stiff
@@Brickwall4769 makes sense, the wires that I use are usually all wiggly and wobbly they never fully become straight like that
@@ketanpadal9833you have to pull it through something like a tight handgrip, a small pipe,...that straightens the wire out - every electrician should know that trick, works very well
@@ketanpadal9833thick stranded wires will behave differntly difficult to pull also.
Everyone uses multiple thin stranded wires except few countries.
as an American electrician everybody saying how neat it all is...don't get me wrong its nice but I'm trying to figure out the breakers/wire color coding(neutrals, hots, grounds, etc.) and how many phases if it even has phases. I loved the video and I'm curious if they get paid by the hour, by the work done and what the scheduling is like cause that's probably time consuming
I get paid according to the bidding package.
Don't really see any violations. Maybe more than 360° on conduit runs. I do alot of this same type on installs in motor control cabinets using tray cable. The 2" hole in the j-box was concerning.
This is exactly how i would do my house. I also love the industrial look of it. I would leave all the tubing exposed. But that's just me.
Very systematically arranged & wiring done😊😊😊😊
as far as running conduit, no this is not substantially different from the US. The materials and exact specifications might differ slightly, but as far as running wire in conduit, its basically the same any US installation which uses conduit.
The only real point of difference is the breaker box, which i have to say, American breaker boxes are much better than that style of box, far easier and less labor intensive to install, since American breaker panels use bussbars to supply all the breakers, this makes it more flexible and safer.
Now dont get me wrong, I'm not saying the American system is better in every way, our system does have its problems in other area's, but as far as breaker panels go, American ones (this includes canada and mexico), are better that other standards.
I understand, thank you for giving me more knowledge. Actually in America the quality is much better. I'm sure about that. I looked into NEC. It is very good and safe for users
I think the UK buss to branch system beat those wires (the breakers are similar. Both beat the US residential as the Mains side is bolted.
They do make DIN bussbars that can simply a lot of what you see in the video, gotta pay more though. We just never really adopted DIN specifications for power distribution in the US. Honestly, I kind of like DIN compared to standard breakers in the US, for the modularity. You can build a box to basically any size for a set of rails.
Love it when money forces changes to the code. AFCI for example.
Thanks for turning the crib to a supernatural charging station
If I am not mistaken in the area where we live this kind of PVC is not allowed especially when you exposed the installation. Because PVC are weak against impact. Minimum requirement are IMC not EMT. Also this kind of installation makes the slab or walls become weak. Why not just run a cable tray instead of those long pipes. Cable trays can be more economical as it can fit different sizes of wires.
U do know dat this will be all cowerd up right.. Plaster, cement or drywall behind witch is filled whit isolation
that looked absolutely superb installation wise.
Yes, it looks nice, but is it up to the local electrical code? Well, we do not know, many kinds of info is missing before a judgement can be made.
Excellent work as usual. keep it going
Hi I am in Canada and i have so much admiration for your work just want to know in which country are you?
What is this system called and what country is it used in?
It's Vietnam - they mentioned the currency they use in one Video
1 drunking or cable tray can carry all cable, make all's in center can save to avoid disturbing others architectures or equipment's installation space....
I wondering after they put that's many of conduit's on ceiling, how's the plaster ceiling support get space to install.....
This kind of installation will make trouble with others specific contractor's super headache and hard to install their things....
or maybe the whole renovation everyone just corporate to priority and suit for electrical installation works, even no need to install furniture or ceiling?
Incredible, where are you from? I would like to know the name os this PVC system that you use.
I come from Vietnam, it is a type of fireproof pvc-u. This is just the wiring for an ordinary apartment
Hi there I'm in the UK and I think that this may be one of the best installations I've seen
thanks
Worried about the amount of building that's been removed, is that ok? In the UK we run rings and radials, it's much cheaper. I guess its easier to replace a cable here, but with modern techniques and PVC cables that last forever, not sure you'll have get enough maintenance benefit, just the shear amount of conduit increases your risk of a fixing damaging a cable.
As I recall the poster stated this was an "Emerging Country", (interput this as 3rd world country), so any discussion about not conforming to NEC, EU, Canadian code does NOT apply.
And making it easier/cheaper for the Contractor does NOT mean it is good/better as code is just doing the bare minimum. I for one don't want "bare minimum" in any of my buildings.
Coupling between lines can cause a lot of EMI issues. If they start running AFCI breakers they will quickly do it right vs pretty.
Lovely Work. Hats Off To The Guy ❤
thanks
I'm no american, idk how the nec works, but i do prefer your way of doing it, it all looks so neat and like it needs to be that way, nothings out of place, everything is as it should. I would trust this more
Is that PEX pipe you are using for conduit?
Being in the U.S., we aren’t allowed to use it of course, but I like how clean you made it look
It is completely different from pex pipe, it is a type of PVC produced to make electrical conduits
@@CIFYou What is the fire rating for that PVC?
it does not catch fire.
@@CIFYou The high chlorine content of PVC-U causes an advantageous combustion behaviour. Self-ignition resulting from temperature influences occurs only at 450 °C. PVC-U burns when exposed to an open flame, but extinguishes immediately after removing the flame. The oxygen index amounts to 42 %. (Materials that burn with less than 21 % of oxygen in the air are considered to be flammable). PVC-U thus falls in the best flammability class V0 according to UL94, and in the B1 building material class
We have similar types of conduit, its just not common.
Beautiful work brother.
Why use conduit if the wire is already mechanically protected and double insulated ?
Pour concreat ower it and u will se why+ if u decide i want somenthing added a can alweys pull more wires fthrew.. Insted of owerloading 1 cable
I think we can do this in N.America to NEC code. It just, who wanna spend that much money, for something you look at once and seal behind a wall.
Oh, I think American standards are better
It makes it so much easier when you have to change anything afterwards - new internet cables, a new outlet,...it absolutely sucks to work with a messy, disorganized electrical installation
@@braindecay9477 yep. i'm looking at having to rearrange all my wiring in the attic (1st floor apartment) that was installed in the 60s (UK resident) prior to having a consumer unit upgrade.
The MC menace and it's consequences lol.@@braindecay9477
Brutalism is always an option.
Now I’m mad my house doesn’t have electrical installation like this
a man after my own heart. Speaking as a general contractor.
I see that he installed the demon summoning portal on the ceiling. That's a new one on me but I'm sure it's the standard in his country.
Oh don't think too much, I just need 5 equal points on the circle
Looks great. I cringed when lighter was applied to HS tube close to other wires.
Not too keen on phase colours L2 and L3 Green and Yellow 😦in the consumer unit as the earth/ground is these 2 combined.
This work is too perfect
Meanwhile, in videos shot in america, cables are attached straight to the wood frames
Very neat and artistic. This method is not more efficient or better than North American systems for installation time, the amount or the amount of materials used, or safety.
You're right, it's not too strict compared to North America
Very neat installation. Working pn ceiling is very hard to his neck. He need to wear safety glasses.
At 9:47 he is supposed to use green and yellow color wires. As he is following rules so it should be implemented 😂 😂😂😂
op oooppp opppssss!!! there it is! 5:50 beam is chipped off, the safety of the electrial is useless is the safety of the structure is compromised
That is with the engineers permission, after I finish the electrical conduits a lot of site supervisors will come and check if they are up to the mark
Which country is this
Looks pretty, but the extra expense may outweigh the benefits.
This is good but the control box is not the same in Nigeria. Anyway his work is great.
I thought PVC was too flammable to use in conduit? at ~6:00 they ate a whole lot of the Primary concrete joins support to curve those conduit traces through. hope that's not load baring. This stuff looks great, very aesthetically pleasing.
thanks
4:19 bro is drawing a spell casters summoning diagram
isn't the red color pipe used for hot water, im confused i thought electrical got the grey color
This is not in America
can you please tell me what PVC type you installed? it's seem like very easy to use and very easy to bend unlike the other PVC pipe...I like your job very neat...
it is a kind of thin pvc, it is very popular. When bending, there should be a spring inside to avoid bending the tube.
@@CIFYou can you please tell me what exactly the name of that pipe...or may I request if is it okay if your next content in your TH-cam please mention in your vlog, what are the name of the tools you use.. please...thank you
You can bend regular pvc like that, look for that spring to bend pvc and you’ll be fine!
@@JeraldDalnay look for 'plastic conduit'. It has a different wall thickness to plastic plumbing pipes.
In the UK it comes in 20 & 25 mm diameters.
So clean work😮
Wearing non-static/ non-cotton clothes plus metal jewlery is a bit of a no-no in Australia.
4:40 years later the owners will not understand why the hell many demons, ghosts and even freaking Satan are all the time appearing in their department.
from greece you are a dude good job to have
Вся прелесть этого в том, что вышедший из строя провод можно поменять в любое время, не разрушая финишную отделку помещения. Классно. Насчёт кода не смешите. В каждой стране свои нормы и уж Китай это точно не страна третьего мира.
Thật tuyệt. Nhìn tủ điện của chúng tôi như 1 ma trận của dây điện mà thấy buồn 😔
Absolutely ❤❤ the work you are doing ❤❤
thanks
That's a 20mm malebush connected to that junctionbox
Ben bu döşenen boruların üstüne sıva çekmem :). Tam bi sanat eseri olmuş.
Check out that hacked up concrete beam at 5:40. Yikes!
Hey Canada: "..each plug and light has its own dedicated cct. and no cct less that 15A." ?????? ...astounding. That wouldnt work in Australia 🇦🇺
How can i hire this kind of electrician? Where can i?
Wow man! You made this with these primitive tools. Amazing 😉 p.s. why all red this time (L1/L2/L3)?
Each of these red conduits will carry 3 wires, 1 hot wire, 1 neutral wire and a ground wire.
Satisfying to watch
what country is this, and what color denotes ground/earth?
Its Vietnam, not sure about the code.
