The electricians started building the electrical service for the warehouse today.
First, they mounted this trough for the wires to pass through.
Then they installed three pieces of rigid conduit with weatherproof connectors called myers hubs.
They punched three holes in the CT cabinet for the hubs to connect to with this hydraulic punch.
Just select the size punch you need for the conduit and start pumping.
It slowly pulls the punch through the metal and cuts a perfect hole.
This building gets 600-amp 3 phase power with 3 200-amp panels.
One in the offices and two in the warehouse.
The renters need 3 phase power for their frame machine and paint booth.
Next the guys installed these disconnects and put specialized fuses inside of them.
They give us the ability to disconnect or turn off the power to each panel from outside the building.
So we have the CT cabinet right here, the meter base to the left, this trough that the wires pass through, and the three disconnects.
This is the kind of thing the average person would never even notice, but I think it’s really cool- let me know if you agree? @hausplans
