00:00:00
[Music]
00:00:13
wide new main Earth from the switch
00:00:15
board down to there that just needs to
00:00:18
be G
00:00:20
sprayed the new Mains are sitting there
00:00:22
ready for connection the United energy
00:00:24
dude's coming out
00:00:26
now so what we can do here
00:00:30
is probably unpack the meter
00:00:33
panel and do like a bit of pre-wiring
00:00:36
inside it grab that out unpack it we're
00:00:39
going to start the oh we'll just wait
00:00:41
till he gets here to strip his out
00:00:43
yeah yeah this is going to have to go
00:00:45
round the
00:00:47
panel so this can get 20 mil Cy put on
00:00:53
it into here connect
00:00:56
it this is going to go and we'll have
00:00:59
like 200
00:01:03
mil actually we'll butt up the panel to
00:01:08
that bottom of the panel on
00:01:10
that and then whatever Cory's needed 32
00:01:14
mil from there down to the panel with a
00:01:17
32 mil gland in the top I don't know if
00:01:19
we have
00:01:20
that or probably get away with 25 mil
00:01:24
yeah you get 25 on that yeah that that
00:01:27
we need to see if we got a white texture
00:01:29
can we see if we got that
00:01:32
what text
00:01:33
that might have to get oh yeah
00:01:40
or take it through the panel take it
00:01:43
through the panel and when it's inside
00:01:44
the panel we'll need to cover it in 20
00:01:46
mil cry inside the panel and it'll pop
00:01:49
out the bottom and go straight to
00:01:51
that so that can all go inside 32 mil if
00:01:55
you have it the mains of this old um
00:01:58
Style and so we did um an electrical
00:02:02
safety check here and it revealed a
00:02:04
bunch of like cracked outlets and
00:02:05
switches inside lights change them but
00:02:09
also would rewiring the mains which
00:02:12
means switchboard staying as it is new
00:02:14
meter panel new consumer Mains which is
00:02:17
these bad boys new main Earth and then
00:02:21
the overhead fuse box is going to stay
00:02:23
where it is but the the the power
00:02:26
distributor truck appointment dude's
00:02:28
going to come here soon to disconnect
00:02:29
that for
00:02:31
us and then
00:02:33
uh truck appoint the actual truck
00:02:36
appointment is 1:30 p.m. the saavi the
00:02:38
inspector Angelo is coming here at like
00:02:42
130 but compared to that other Mains
00:02:45
rewire we did in our last video that was
00:02:47
like quite tricky this one's much more
00:02:50
straightforward cuz that's staying in
00:02:51
the same spot that's staying in the same
00:02:52
spot we've got access to run the cables
00:02:54
inside the roof space it's just a lot
00:02:57
more
00:02:58
uh ease of installations
00:03:02
much
00:03:04
lower or higher so we're also rewiring 6
00:03:08
mil main Earth through the roof
00:03:13
space down to here via 20 mil
00:03:17
conju and uh
00:03:20
onto a main Earth electrode which goes
00:03:23
into the ground and Earths the whole
00:03:25
installation this is all finished
00:03:28
here we just need
00:03:31
to spray it with gal
00:03:38
spray this uh stops it from
00:03:42
corroding put a bit of cardboard on so
00:03:44
we don't spray the
00:03:50
[Music]
00:03:54
house we'll let that dry then we'll give
00:03:56
it another like two coats then at the
00:03:59
very and we'll cable toe that tag on
00:04:01
which says this is important don't chop
00:04:04
it
00:04:04
[Music]
00:04:16
brother 32 mil
00:04:19
yeah I saw like a clip on Instagram
00:04:22
recently like it was an old business
00:04:24
businessman an old baller and he was giv
00:04:27
advice and he said um if you want
00:04:30
success in business you have to be there
00:04:32
like you have to be on
00:04:34
site so this is me being
00:04:37
here I could be sitting at home but it's
00:04:41
just better if you're on site with the
00:04:42
boys you know catch up with them make
00:04:44
sure everything's done as it should be
00:04:47
um get to actually like meet clients and
00:04:49
meet people and it's just always better
00:04:51
if you're not sitting at home this is it
00:04:53
mate and there's even a chair for
00:04:58
me
00:05:04
good day guys Ben from mwatts here um
00:05:06
we're just in abbotford this morning um
00:05:09
and we're just in wiring and installing
00:05:11
a heed Tower rail we will also add an
00:05:14
isolation switch that will control the
00:05:17
PowerPoint below which controls the
00:05:19
heated Tower rail you can pick one of
00:05:21
these up at your local Bunnings for
00:05:22
about $100 to $200 depending on the
00:05:28
Range
00:05:29
[Music]
00:05:38
[Music]
00:05:55
[Music]
00:05:58
oh
00:06:00
[Music]
00:06:14
I don't even I don't know either secret
00:06:16
to uh working with the first year
00:06:19
patience uh trust I guess I don't know
00:06:24
about TR right how you
00:06:28
going
00:06:34
Che
00:06:38
yeah what's this for oh
00:06:44
yeah yeah sweet that should be fine so
00:06:48
this is an overhead fuse box Mains
00:06:51
comeing from the street connecting to
00:06:53
this it has an 80 amp fuse in it 80 amp
00:06:56
fuse cables consumers mans out of this
00:06:58
down to the s board but there's like
00:07:01
multiple points of protection this is
00:07:04
the this is the first point of
00:07:06
protection so the power distributor boys
00:07:08
just popped in to disconnect the
00:07:10
overhead Supply that allows us to do
00:07:13
everything now set it all up fully they
00:07:15
just did it cuz I don't know they got a
00:07:16
quiet day or something usually they
00:07:18
don't come here until the truck
00:07:19
appointment in the afternoon but uh they
00:07:22
popped in disconnected that now we can
00:07:24
do everything that we need to do Simon
00:07:26
see this box up here you can disconnect
00:07:28
that
00:07:30
and then we'll be pulling the cables in
00:07:33
the roof in poking our new one through
00:07:36
the same
00:07:36
[Music]
00:07:53
hole so what we're doing in here is
00:07:55
stripping out the old meter pel cuz it's
00:07:58
all dead now
00:07:59
stripping that out but the new reg or
00:08:02
the current regulations is that it has
00:08:04
to be a hinged panel so that whole
00:08:05
Timber panel is going replaced with this
00:08:08
plastic hinged panel that meter panel is
00:08:11
going to sit there the switchboard's
00:08:13
staying as is we're just wiring a new
00:08:15
consumer Mains into the main switch only
00:08:17
when you um redo things so once like
00:08:21
everything's fine and safe as it is but
00:08:24
once you start rewiring Mains you've got
00:08:26
to bring everything up to the current
00:08:28
standards
00:08:30
even just leave it mate leave it leave
00:08:32
it leave it now we can undo those
00:08:34
Phillips head screws and the whole panel
00:08:36
will come
00:08:37
[Music]
00:08:52
off so Ben's a fourth year
00:08:55
Apprentice he actually started his
00:08:58
apprenticeship with us as a first last
00:08:59
year he was doing uh I hate to speak on
00:09:01
your behalf but he was doing University
00:09:05
teaching and uh decid you want to change
00:09:08
you were then working for like a floor
00:09:09
floor Lane company helping with their
00:09:11
deliveries and that how long did you do
00:09:13
that for uh probably nearly two years
00:09:16
two years doing that sent us an email it
00:09:18
just so happened at that time we were
00:09:20
looking for someone I think it was the
00:09:22
at the time it was me and Adrian so then
00:09:24
Ben came on as a first year started his
00:09:26
trade school at ni in
00:09:28
cartton and been with us ever since it
00:09:31
becomes qualified in October so it's uh
00:09:34
certainly the home the home Sprint found
00:09:36
it found it quick or
00:09:38
slow uh goes through waves I think I
00:09:42
think uh up till second year I think
00:09:45
first year went quick and then
00:09:48
yeah so when we're doing a job like this
00:09:51
it's like a half day job or a full day
00:09:55
job we're always um keeping everything
00:09:58
under control like we got our rub pile
00:09:59
there we got a pile of things that we're
00:10:01
done with that's ready to go back to the
00:10:03
van ladder's finished so now that's
00:10:05
ready to go back so we're always keeping
00:10:06
everything like simplified otherwise you
00:10:09
just got everywhere and it's easier
00:10:11
if the only things you've got out are
00:10:13
the things that you still need cuz then
00:10:14
it's just less things to trip over and
00:10:17
look at and whatever good day guys my
