Electricians - russian style

[Gavin John Hyde]

This popped up on my suggested videos on youtube. This will be up your street @Pete999
had a watch and found it all a bit interesting. the way he joins stripped wires is certainly different compared to what we do over here! also would we ever use flexible conduit like they have done?
From my basic Russian it is a electrical firm of brothers by the name of Kravchuk in Sevastapol in Crimea.
Excuse the Russian text in the video but worth a watch.

The ones I had working for me, were practically very neat and tidy but, one or two lacked any training, of course this was in the mid 80s I expect things have got so much better. Addition they would have loved Wago connectors.

One of the lads, sort of thought he was God's gift to Electricians, nice Lad hard worker, give him anything that wasn't a lighting job, he would get a bit flummoxed, Had a ventilation / A/C job to do, remove the A/C system and use the duct and fan just as ventilation, couldn't work out why, when he switched on the fan the contactor or, as he called it the "magneto" got hot and buzzed quite loudly. Told him to switch it off and I'll come and have a butchers at the problem, turned out the coil was rated at 220v and he had stuck it across 380v, explained what he had done wrong, and he was OK left him to it, the following day, I went for check up and found he had connected 1 side of the coil to the metal duct work, it worked after a fashion, but in the end we sent the less proficient ones on a training course in Finland, which to the likes of most of them was, generally an impossibility. He came back with a big smile on his face lots of books etc, regaling stories Finish nightlife. Oh how I miss those days, a wonderful bunch of blokes, had some good times.

Such a good accent - I wonder what a ‘camp’ Russian sounds like - I’m resisting googling it!
Nice method and fun to watch but it wouldn’t help fault finding one bit!
That is kind of permanent.
I guess that a suspended ceiling is going in there which gives some respect to the containment above it ..... mind you ‘the size of rats in Russia like baby Rottweiler’ (say in Russian accent for full effect)!

Ex girlfriend was from Moldova but of russian parentage. Her accent was quite strong and words sounded very elongated and emphasised. also spoke very fast. When we visited chisinau I couldnt keep up with it. Polina's dads accent was very thick and was like all words merged into one long one and barely moved his lips when speaking.

Some nice manifold work in that toilet...but why is the WC up on a block? Have they got very long legs?
Can't see the point in all that twisting wires with a drill stuff, it takes ages and still needs heat-shrink, and a few Wagos would've done it in 2 minutes...and much easier to test/fault-find...but entertaining nevertheless!
Still, nice to see yet another use for a cordless drill...I see all the bar staff using them to put out the awnings these days.

 

[Grant webber]

Someone get him some Wagos!

I have a dislike of Russians shame he wasn't electrocuted.

Glad you made that joke!
(Given it's a jailable offence otherwise!)

Well, you've had to hope that that Russian electrician isn't reading this post and thinking the same thing about you.

His grandfather most probably sent my family to Siberia and in to a concentration camp whilst murdering half of them, how would you feel if they sent your Mother out to the forest to chop wood bare foot when it -20 degrees.

The actions of that Russians grandfather IF true is no reason for your comments regarding him though.

I don't think you would like the persons family if one of their relatives shot holes in the back of the heads of your family, sent them to a concentration and stole all their land, we will agree to disagree on this one, you love Russians I don't the only good Russian to me is a dead one.

My Mother and her sister buried their Father in a forest somewhere with their bare hands.

SWD Any words that I say on this forum cannot come close to what anyone can express to your loss, however, Gavin has posted a thread regarding wiring practices in another country and I didn't think that the forum is the place for placing your initial comment how emotional your views may be and justified.

We all have memories, and they must be respected...
however...I feel that maybe this isn't the forum for that, while giving due respect...
back to the business in hand, anyone?

Don't worry about it Mate it's a joke between me and my Lad Camerabloke, I could explain but it would get very un PC just ignore it.

Regards the original post, his method reminds me of those twisty caps the yanks use to connect cables together ... except with an arch welder and shrink wrap.

Sometimes I wonder if we do things right in the uk, In this instance I ’m reassured - thanks OP
