my work

[kjless]

this was an emergency panel fed from our generator and out to three transfer switches what a nightmare. i had 3 sets of 900 kcmil 1 set of 750 kcnil and four sets of 500 kcmil and the little ones cant remember. this panel was only 12 inches deep. the dead front barley fit on.

900 Kcmil aluminum? None of those look big enough to be 900 Kcmil, but it could just be the size of the image.

Looks like a piece of gear would have been a better choice. I'd have to say this is a very poor design, but I'm guessing you were very limited on space.

[ultramegabob]

you did a nice job of shoe horning it in there, looks neat for the room you had to play with...

[bphgravity]

Looks good to me!

[Rockyd]

That is fine demonstration of 110.12!

[infinity]

Nice job but I agree with Pete the equipment stinks for that size conductors.

[480sparky]

Nice job! Now you'll need this:

Did you go to the gym and lift weights after that job?

[kjless]

ya it was tough. the reason they dont look like 900 is cause they are compact aluminum thhn its pretty much the same size of a 750 copper. this electric room has this panel and to the right is the 1200 amp transfer switch then to the right another 1200 a panel same as the one in the pic. on the opposite wall there was the 400 a transfer switch with 400 amp panel and a 100 transfer switch and panel aaannnnddddd two more 100 life safety panels and a transformer hanging above them all in a 12 by 14 room with two doors

Very nice work. Thank you for posting the pic and caption. It would be nice to see some reference in the picture for perspective, like a cordless drill or the crimper you used on the macadapts. Those are macadapts, right?

[kjless]

yes they are mac adapters. the ones for the 900s where 47 dollars a piece. and the lugs on the 1200a breaker where staggered so each mac adapt had to be crimped in a certain spot.

Nice looking work.

Got it...I thought it was copper. So that's SimPull THHN aluminum? Cool. 8-)

[220/221]

That's beautiful. How long did it take to terminate?

[kjless]

it took me a day and a few hours the next day. but i was doing things in between so probably a full 8 hours. thanks everyone for the comments

[electricalperson]

those compact aluminum conductors are great. so much easier to bend than copper. its very nice work

I give this an A+ perfect.

That small breaker on the right side looks out of place.

What's that panel about 44" wide x 84" tall?

[hardworkingstiff]

yes they are mac adapters.

??
Is a mac adpater like a pin terminal?

[LarryFine]

Did you go to the gym and lift weights after that job?Why bother? :wink:

[LarryFine]

Is a mac adpater like a pin terminal?It sounds like an ATA-to-SCSI adapter to me. :D
