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
