welcome to my channel YouTube it's your boy Steven and in today's video we're going to do a day in the life of being an electrical Apprentice when I'm going share my entire day with you guys and let you guys know kind of what we do on a day-to-day basis I'm not really sure what the plan is for the day um but whatever I am doing I'm going to share with you guys and kind of let you guys know I'm excited to do something a little different uh if you guys do like this type of content let me know in the comment section below and hit that thumbs up button and the Subscribe I thank you guys for all of the support truly appreciate it um but yeah let's get into the video hope you guys enjoy let's go right now got to terminate all of these wires everything that we have at the bottom is going to have to be lined up here terminated into the correct section so that's really what my job is today uh it's going to be a slow one steady one but I make sure all this is done correctly so we ain't got no mishaps but uh that's the plan that's the goal and um yeah let's see how it go so as I got to the job site today they explained to me exactly what I was going to be doing I was really excited because I hadn't done this type of work before so it it's exciting to you know do something different and learn something different all of these wires that you see are vfds um so if you guys don't know vfds stand for variable frequency drive um it's like a motor controller so it controls the frequency and the voltage of everything um all of these wires we going to a specific disconnect so we got to make sure that all of the wires and the phases are numbered right and I organized right going to the right section so that's basically what I'm doing with all of this and I'm trying to get everything taken care of today before the end of work but uh it's very tedious and everything has to be nice and neat done in the correct detail on both ends so yeah uh right now I'm zip tying the wires um some are going on the right side and some are going on the left side uh so my job right now is just to make sure that everything is nice and neat and everything is able to go into the right section so so um with the zip ties I just you know made sure it was tight enough so they wouldn't fall or anything like that but yeah it's very time consuming you know just trying to make sure that everything is done right right now I'm cutting all of the zip ties just so you know everything could be nice and neat um I was able to put six wires you know three three at the back three at the front and uh I think it looks pretty nice it looks nice and neat to me um the people that I show everybody said it looks nice also so I'm doing the exact same thing on the left side the left side has a lot more wires so a little it was a little tougher trying to get everything to fit in nice and neat especially towards the bottom because some of the wires got a little Tangled but um I did the best that I could with it to try to make it look as neat and professional as I possibly could and like I said this was exciting exciting thing for me you know they let me do this on my own I was the only one in there and um yeah I was kind I was proud of myself you know start to finish on how I was able to get it taken care of right now I'm also cutting some of the zip ties on this one um I used my diagonal cutters on the last one but they had me use another smaller cutter um just so it won't it won't cut you or anything like that U right now um going to L real quick about to eat my food had some fish rice and some asparagus now it's time to get back to work and this is how it looks from right now I think it looks really really nice um wasn't we still hadn't terminated everything cuz now I have to lay all of the phases of the wires so that they can match the other side of the disconnects where the wires are going to so this is very time consuming we had to make sure all of the numbers were going to the correct phases the ground phase one phase 2 and phase three and we also had our communication wires also that um we had to label so this whole process was time consuming um but like I said I wanted to make sure it was done right you know um cuz I wanted to go well you know this is my first time like I said of me doing this by myself and I was confident I could do it I just you know took it step by step and you know just kind of tried to just do everything right we also had to heat shrink the labels on there also just so they won't fall off anything like that and it was my first time using the heat shrink that thing do get hot so it was already 4:30 wasn't able to terminate everything but I did get a lot done today so I was happy about that now it's time to clean up um I see a lot of stuff all talking about electrician is not cleaning up but where I work we clean up we take care of all of our stuff so uh it's very important for me to leave this place better than I found it so picking up all of the zip ties that I cut um putting all of this trash to the side and just trying to get it ready for tomorrow when I come back there and hopefully be able to terminate it I didn't see a broom but I finally found one and yeah that was it for the today I was able to do all of this by myself I was excited about it I was working on vfds for the first time so I was excited about that truly grateful for the opportunity um you know and I know I got a long way to go so that was it for the day um getting ready to clean this up head back to the shop head to the crib and um that's time to go be a family man and go to the gym so I'll see yall at the gym let's go [Music] he [Music] he [Music] he [Music] he [Music] a [Music] a
