Installing a 1200 AMP Electric Panel, would you ever do this? #commercial
What happens here
The video shows two electricians, a master electrician and an apprentice, tightening wire connections on the main circuit breakers of a large electrical panel. An Allen wrench is used to ensure a secure connection. A text overlay advises against using a razor knife for wire stripping and suggests using a cable stripper tool instead, implying that wires were stripped prior to this step.
Goal: Securely connect main power wires to circuit breakers
Tools and materials
- Allen Wrench — Tightening the set screws on wire terminals and lugs
- Cable Stripper Tool — Safely and effectively stripping insulation from electrical wires
- Electrical Wires — Conducting electricity within the panel
