Now I can splice my 11kV primary line for my new secret laboratory. I origionally ran my primary too short. This will solve my problem so I can resume taking over the world.
Just watch out for annoying sisters and/or midget rivals.
dexters laboratory lol
@Eìon O'hInneirghe ha ha ha ha ha haa
Learn how to spell "originally" first, then think about taking over, please.
Just a heads up for ya on your 'world conquest'. It's going to take a LOT of effort to get past my 500kV energised faraday cage I've built as a 'panic room'. I guess you COULD just wait for the batteries to run down, but since Elon Musk grabbed all the Li-Ion cells, I chose to use a Thorium-based LFTR inside the cage instead. Given the half life of my Thorium stockpile, I think I should be god for about 13 or so billion years
Today once again the KZhead algorithm has reunited us here to watch this random video at 3am
I can relate to this
Damn right... 1:36am I was watching tennis games.... Then this

😅😅😅
This is my dads company i too do not know how this has happened
I don't know what it is, but these industrial cabling demonstrations are friggen fascinating to no end.
+phuturephunk i have little to no experience in anything electrical. i'm kind of handy, do my own work on the car. For some reason i've been watching the shit out of these!
Yes they are I'm an electrician and this are very critical connections you have to be trained how to do them
phuturephunk ok good I'm glad I'm not the only one that fell down this rabbit hole.

Live LV jointing is more fun especially on old lead cables
Being a retired electrician, I can tell you that is a back breaking job out in the real world. That cable weights a lot and it man handles YOU. Vid is a good one for showing how it's done, and I wish it was just as easy in the real world. He did a great job on that cable.
yeah this video is a best case scenario, inside, cable nicely elevated from the ground and supported....
Definitely not that easy in a manhole/vault, and that's me doing single conductor 1mil mcm
When I did 3 phase splices, I always staggered my butt joints
I've seen it done standing in a trench while a sump pump was running to remove the water the guy was standing in... not exactly laboratory conditions...
@@davep6977 this is a high voltage joint,you cannot place connections where u would want..there are strict measurements the jointer must follow
Me: “I’m not going to watch the entire things.” Also me: *watches entire thing*
To all electrician in this world, you have done great job to keep this world running.
since no one said it yet, on behalf of every proud electrician: thanks!
Can't believe I watched that whole video.. and enjoyed it. How did I end up here anyway?
This is true, but it might be more of a sales pitch. There are lots of manufacturers of cable joints so they were probably demonstrating how there joints are done. Compared to say a raychem, sicame or tyco joint. Someone might see this and say that's quicker than the joints they use. Or it might be a training video for apprentices.
+John Bobrek they did get the bad guy and send him to jail :)
And can you believe, that this guy gets paid only in tips! That's why the women become dancers.
It’s funny you said that John Borneo as I was thinking the same thing!! Haha! I’m in the electrical industry so naturally, I was mesmerized ✌️🤓
Same here
Look at how methodical this gentleman is with every point of the work process. This is almost medicinal. Electrical high voltage installations deserve the utmost attention and highest standards. Long-term safety first.
That would be a pain in the ass if you connected the wires and forgot to slide the shrink wrap on first.
+99beta Exactly what I was thinking. That step should have been in the first part of the video.
+FREDDIE MAXWELL you mean the part at 0:11 ?
Not a big worry, there is zip heat shrink, that can fit on a cable without sliding.
What a world! :D
yavv kolev It may exist (good info!), but your boss probably wants you to follow the company workinstructions :-)
How many layers of protection do we need? Engineer: *YES*

Oh god , this takes me back to watching AEP safety videos , those guys are always working in a perfectly dug out ditch with no mud or water , rubber blankets everywhere with plenty of wipes , 🤭😂🤣😂 that never happened for me at any point in my career. Still kept the power on for people tho 👍🏾 , people are always happy to see the power guy as long as he is there to turn you back On and not Off .

lol
Very amazing tbh, did not think its so complicated. Alot of work going into this :)
Love to see this done in a howling gale and lashing rain ! . Its a big boys version of what I would do on a mains cable
You wouldn't do it in those condition, you'd set up a tent or worst case wait for better weather.
@@mfx1 I'm sure that's what he meant... with a tent. But howling gale and lashing rain would still be happening and making the work difficult.
Some day, I'll be out drinking and the power will go out. That's when the skills I learned today will come in handy.
Синей изолентой сверху забыл.
I won't even be doing something even close to this big ever so I dunno why I watched but it was fun! Best job I ever seen done !
I so enjoy watching nonfiction videos.
So two really big wire nuts are out of the question, I'd imagine !
This is how engineers imagine it's done in the field
How does it actually work in the rain and mud?
@@MrKristyon pretty badly
Try doing it without all those special tools, just a utility knife and a tape measure. We were replacing a five kv line at a veterans hospital that shorted out, we worked about 30 hours strait, half of it in the rain, I made up one end, another guy made up the other end in a vault underground, I guess he was too tired, we turned it on, and it blew the man hole cover about 50' in the air, so I had to do his splice all over, it held the next time we turned it on, that was a bitch.
@@MrKristyon Yes. In the field they build a tent first.
20mins per joint - this video proves it
Extremely Excellent You proved, Practice makes a man perfect.
Great Video Thorne Derrick! We are going to embed on an informational post for our 250 KCMIL through 6000 KCMIL High Voltage Cable. Good info!
I was waiting for him to pull out a huge heat gun lol. I use a lighter to melt my shrink wrap, his was a little larger.
*pulls out massive soldering iron* I've got this guys!
15 watts is massive, right?
Excelente trabajo me encantó me hace acordar hacé años atrás que también hise esos empalme de medía tención en los pórticos del puerto de exolgan en Buenos Aires lleva tiempo paciencia y muchas concentración y atención a lo que se está haciendo ya que es un trabajo de precisión y muy peligroso por las cargas que manejan eso cables y sobre todo con la humedad felicitaciones colega
I love these (pre- Internet) VHS videos demos.
This is really nice work. Too bad no one spends the time to do this. My first boss fired me the first day. He said I did really great work, and that he never needed to worry if my connection would hold. He said he never needed to worry about the inspector finding something wrong with my work But he told me he would be out of business if he kept people like me. I took way to long, because I did all the steps and did it right. He had guys that just used butt connectors from home Depot and some 99 cent electric tape True story
Sorry to hear this. It is true that people are greedy.
What was the application? There is a engineering quote that says, sometimes good enough is best. Granted, I believe those decisions should be left up to the engineer
@@michaelbarnhill2685 yes this aplikation .. Naturlich ha ha ha ha ha ha ha . ho ho ho ho ho ho.
If your boss was a high-voltage lines contractor and fired you for the reasons you mention, he should have his license revoked. I imagine his luck was holding up around the time he fired you and had not killed anyone yet from negligence.
@@frankieromnimon5898 at the time I was fired he had not had any fires yet A few years later he had his first, then his second. I moved out of the area and don't know if any more happened I know several buyers had issues with outlets and switches and lights not working and had repairs done.
I've got these as my speaker cables
+Voima More importantly, did you use cable elevators to elevate the cables off the ground as not to cause interference and static buildup? Did you break in your wires for 96 hours? Are you using oxygen free copper? lol
@@pmgodfrey lol
I was a 52E in the Army and doing this was part of the duty description. This is slow, tedious work and made even worse, far worse in the field. Great video guys! 🤙
I was a retired electrician too and experienced high voltage cable splicing ,it's very delicate and complicated steps to follow to perform this job .
I dont have the slightest idea what any of this video is about. OR why I watched the entire thing completely mesmerized.
+Michael Stevens (LeFevre) its the music
+Michael Stevens Same, check out High voltage cable termination vids, its like porn i dont get it, but its So Good.
@@MrSheaonemillion is this a new trend, like watching ASMR?
@@DavidG2P if it is I wouldn't know, i have never known what's cool or trending.
Obviously this will be a lot different when you're doing it on the field. you will want to make sure you have all the correct heat shrinks on before you make the first Connection.
Look at that work man looks flawless
Love watching these types of videos. It is an art to be able to do this kind of work cleanly and precisely.
На стенде конечно хорошо, а посадить этого спеца в канаву, где по щиколотку воды со снегом, сверху дождик. Если наращивал, один вопрос, а если ремонт обрыва - где маркировка фаз?
I just realized, I watched this for 19 minutes..
Diese Montage in der Nacht bei strömenden Regen unterm Zelt, da fängt der Spass erst an......
Here we are again by youtube recommendation.
I should to that to my speaker wires. That would make them cat-proof, I hope.
Bravo pour l'électricien qui a raccordé cet câble 👍
I wished I would have went to the Johnny Horizon school for doing some gnarly shrink wrap jobs. Awesome job!!
Here hold my beer.... I can solder it together with my mighty Yihua.
Excellent video!

Love this video most I work with was 440VAC . Be safe out there .
Imagine completing a splice and realizing you forgot to slide the shrink wrap on beforehand.
if you are doing it without reading the procedure, then sure :p most people don't like to read procedures, so they usually fuck up.
Procedures are for newbs when you've been doing this stuff for years. Personally I would like a second person with me doing this double checking every step as we go.
Md Razi Shaikh
"Procedures are for newbs", he said, knowing nothing of science or epistemology.
Who, me?
What an amazingly intricate process. I never would have imagined. I wonder how much one of these splice kits costs.
1 new Toyota Camary.
a joining kit for 12kV cables with 3 phases costs about €400. For 24kV cable it's about €1000.
I love all things electrical with a passion and this here is an artwork of beauty! Well done and congrats.

10/10 Nice professional work.
Informative. Useful. Calming. Inspiring. Life-changing. Enjoyable. Heart-warming. Other.
Why is the copper screening braid double-layered over half the joint, then open-wound over the remainder? Did they run out of braid half way through the job?
nlo114 Hi, no nothing ran out. The mesh is to pick up surface current and as long as its in contact with the insulation/conductive tubes, the semi-con layer on the cores and back to earth, that is all that is needed. Has been tested too so we know its fine.
If is done that way for conduct the transceiver calibration support to its optimum performance.
I don't know man... Seems like a Lotta work
THIS IS ART!
Not something I'd want to be doing in a hole in Minnesota in January during a nice sleet storm. Gives me goose bumps just thinking about it.
Nice work at starting video but in last I'm confused how can we put two round heat shrink tube in already jointed wires 🤣🤣🤣
He put them on at the very beginning
@@michaelstewart9308 check his video at beginning
@@michaelstewart9308 check at 17:43 he slide tube from sides because it open from sides if it is in field it would be a great mistake
"All traces of carbon must be removed from the insulation" *Blasts yellow flamed burner at the insulation, filling it with soot*
Why doesn't he use a heat gun?
@@smith549371 Maybe there is a power failure.
@@mk23909 you can use gas heat guns also, theres no need for flame. Most people would consider a flame unprofessional or amateur.
@@smith549371😉
Open flame torches are most commonly used actually and standard practice in the trade. Much quicker and far easier, but yes U could use a heat gun if U really wanted too
That's the right size of cables that i need for my headphones amigo

This is exactly what I did when I tapped into a WestPenn power line to build my underground meth lab. Unlimited power at my finger tips
waow so simple..... just a million tools, materials, and work hours. ^^ lol i'm amazed on what you can find on youtuber.
Interesting to see heatshrink used. In London EDF (UK Power) Networks they encased everything in a potted resin.
Beeping noise in the background as if this man is performing surgery on a human. Good job Sir!

Nice joint! Last thing I could read on shrink tube of the joint was "THC" before the speaker said the joint is complete. 😂
Well, it isn't a complete joint without any THC....
Thanks algorithm, now I know something I'll 1000% never need to know.
I've probably watched this 30 times at least, only because it puts me straight to sleep
ASMR ! (google it)
Excellent, I am glad we can help you sleep better
That's perfect for speaker cable. Lol
While working for a utility company years ago, I had such a job. I had to do this in a deep dug out hole in the ground and it is cold and some what dark and the cable always fights you
Nice presentation sir... In real that is not easy as we saw.. Here in KSA we are now using 3X500mm2Al for 15kV. Way bigger. So we need efforts in doing cable joints... Thanks for the additional knowledge☺
500mm😳 the biggest I’ve worked with is 300mm on EHV, and that was a work out
Изолента не синяя, работать не будет
9:44 "...all carbon traces must be removed from the primary insulation" but once he is done of that he marks it with a yellow grease marker.
+David Hughes And shrinks it with a yellow flame that is probably putting soot (Carbon) all over the place...
+Toby Sinclair-Bell Good call on the yellow flame, the red mastic should not protrude beyond the first shrinks, it needs a wad of red mastic between the three conductors at each end and the gray silicone tape is not for a pressure seal between layers it's for gap filling, so the last lap seal needs to be the red mastic, and how did he run out of the aluminum gauze and not finish the half lap covering? Oops
It's already over engineered by the insurance company... Because writing up new SOP's out of blood, tends to cause more issues than doing it right the first time.
OK, this looks easy. No problem. I am now ready to splice high voltage cable.
참고영상 감사합니다
Work of art , to think guys are doing this in a hole in the ground in all weather, amazing 👏👏👏
damn I think i dont even want to know how much 1 meter of this cable costs :P
depends on the cable, but the cables I have worked on are similar, though different and they are $150/meter
Vanklow wow thats not as much as I expected however you need a lot of cable for this task :P

Doing his in the field not quite so easy lol
I did something similar in a shack in Trinidad and Tobago. Dirt floors and no lights :P
I wished I'd have had one of those sheave tools when I was terminating armoured cables, beats a Stanley knife hands down!!
I'm glad they included part 7756-WQ-4411 electrical cleaning tissues. My kit was missing them. Awaiting shipment from customer service.
its all very well in a lab, but as I know, its very different outside in a trench.
i wanna put that on my arm
We have to carry out PD tests when working in substations with these joints, several have failed when installed vertically
I know, they fail on a regular basis
the orientation should not have any adverse affect. something is contaminating the union.

I love KZhead because of vids like this. Filming question: During the shrink-heat portion, would time-lapse filming show how the tube shrinks? Fast-forward seems to skip the most delicate part of the process as implied in the title.
+Mick Craven those heat shrinking tubes come in all dimensions and they are really useful when repairing cables , small or big. They are not so expensive I always keep some in stock? They can also make caps for sharp tools that are delivered without one.
