The most Dangerous Job for any Electrician #hendythesparky Fixing a 200 AMP Service LIVE🤯
What happens here
Using a cordless drill, the electrician first drills a pilot hole into the house siding where a new strap will be placed. This ensures the screw will go in smoothly and prevent splitting the siding. After drilling, a strap is positioned around the service cable and then fastened to the house using a screw. The video shows the electrician not fully tightening the screw immediately, implying that adjustments or further strap placements may be needed before final tightening.
Goal: Begin securing the service cable to the house with new straps.
