Connecting to the power grid, Mexico Electrical Engineering

[agaichapter25]

cover the fukin mike ffs.

[mexiacn100boy]

ooo is cuz u type of poepl worrie to much for everything Mexico and other nations are not like that

[ehunter2]

This is what Third World Mentality and Socialism does...

and Obama wants the USA to become more like this..and the vast teeming herds of losers cheer him on. Mexico..here we come.

[aerreese86]

@ehunter2 fuck you hunter and all your compatriots who think like you. No reason to get mad anymore, is not Mexico you should worry about but China and pleasing your new asian masters: "Will that be the head or the shaft I will be sucking first chairman Jintao?" hahahah United States of China here we go!!!

[DancingSpiderman]

@aerreese86 "...you should worry about but China and pleasing your new asian masters: "Will that be the head or the shaft I will be sucking first chairman Jintao?" hahahah"

purty funny

I would not think to ask that question when the time comes. But now I know to say it hahaha

China makes my size 58 blue jeans that I buy at Wally World, and so China has all the American debt money, and now I have to ask the question of my asian masters "Will that be the head or the shaft I will be sucking 1st?"

CFE SUCKS!!! STUPID ENERGY MONOPOLY

[Arkthurius]

This video seemed more interesting before actually watching it. I work at a power plant in Mexico and I have worked in the electrical trade in the US. If this was to make fun of electrical conections in the Mexico, I can remember that NEC inspectors in the US have very different opinions about "code violations" and applied different criteria for the same installations. I find this clip totally useless, sorry =P

[SteveHMcIntosh]

It is useless. Its just funny how they connect down there.

[DancingSpiderman]

@SteveHMcIntosh WOW. I'm an electrical engineer, but not working within the Power industry. What were the installers THINKING when they put this up??  And, I guess they don't have actual inspectors come to the home to make sure things are safely installed, I take it.

All it's gonna take is a windstorm, and then it becomes a lethal matter.

[DancingSpiderman]

This electrical install is worse than the worst Mexican Paint Yob.

Mexican Paint Yob = you hire a couple'a guys outside Home Depot, they paint your entire house lickety-split, but the result looks like PlaySkoo colored Clay-Do, even though YOU selected the paint color. And then, several weeks later, you find a humongous paint blister on a windowsill , you habitually puncture the paint-blister with your fingernail, and there is still WET PAINT oozing out of the center of the paint-blister.

[jayguy173]

tape and jb weld is all you ever need

[SteveHMcIntosh]

It is useless. Its just funny how they connect down there.

[jaa93997]

Two words asshole: illegal connection. CFE did not connect that particular house exactly because of the tree interference. So they choose to go unlawful. First research and then ellaborate

[SteveHMcIntosh]

This particular connection is not illegal, that is how they connect all of the electricity to homes in Mexico...

[Arkthurius]

Wrong!!

[DancingSpiderman]

@SteveHMcIntosh At the end of the vid, I see there is a small gauge wire wrapped around the Grid cable, but.... there is no DRIP LOOP between the Grid wire & the top of the metal conduit. Holy Shiite!  If someone is going to do a cheap-ass DIY connection, wouldn't it make sense to, AT THE VERY LEAST, have an extra downward concave shaped length of wire ( Drip Loop ) before entering the conduit?!?

That's an electrical WATER PIPE, to me.

Hijo, don't pees in the toilet, eet's raining haha

[whotube997]

If it's an illegal connection, how come it's got a power meter?

[jaa93997]

There are many workarounds, and the power meter must be a distraction to pretend legality. CFE will NOT connect you to the grid is there is an obstruction between you and the power lines

[DancingSpiderman]

Because it it NOT an illegal connection...In Mexico, THIS IS A LEGITIMATE CONNECTION OF THE METER TO THE GRID, DUDE!

I can't believe this either...holy shiite

I bet you can cook a lot of Holy Tortillas with La Virgen on them, using this electrical setup...

[aerreese86]

@DancingSpiderman It cooks hotdogs too so you can put them on the ass of the founding fathers>D

[auto9898]

Thats nothing compared to the crazy wiring jobs they do in Iraq. Its like a big spider web of wires everywhere.

[LINUXISNEXT]

Mammy I am stuck.... (guess for yourself what happended to me when I was playing with a xmas tree light

[jhun13x]

blurry...

[joebob8899]

I don't get it?? I understand that there's a 120V powerline being threaded threw the tree branches but keep in mind the wire is insulated and not dangerous to touch. It might not look pretty but hey it works!

[gyneman]

That is awesome. It just proves that even the ones who do all the work Americans "won't" do still CAN'T do the work that Americans CAN to do! The dude who did that install wouldn't last an hour on my crew!

[birdnord]

I bet their grammer is better than yours. Learn to write! You must be a union idiot!

[gyneman]

Oh gee am I sorry. Did I miss some commas? If you can't read, jackass, just watch! Yes,I am non-union trained, but a union employee. If your a non-union sparky, I'm willing to bet a month of sundays that I make way more than you ever dreamed. Which makes you the idiot! Go Union! Better jobs, better pay, and better work! Keep wiring those houses bub!

[gyneman]

[birdnord]

It was more than just a missing comma. I'm willing to bet you're a high school drop out. You weren't even union trained, which makes you a bigger loser. By the way, I have a B.E. degree in electrical engineering and I'm an engineering manager for a power plant. I'm sure I make a lot more money than you, JACK ASS! Enjoy your trailer, loser!

[gyneman]

Bullshit you little fucking liar! Not being trained by a union means better work ethic. If you had a clue you would know that Mr. Genius! As far as a trailer goes, you wish! Besides, what moron claims he has a Bachelors in Electrical Engineering, then goes on youtube to comment on grammer? Your a fucking moron. Go play D&D and stay in your parents basement! Chotch!

[birdnord]

In order to receive any bachelor's degree, one needs to take several English classes, you ignorant high school drop out. I bet you must enjoy paying your union to protect your job. Funny how someone with a "better work ethic" needs to have his job protected! Tell me, did you go out like a real man to find your job? Or did you go down to the union hall like a pussy?

[gyneman]

No, actually the company I work for came to my job site on a referral from another company. They liked what they saw, so they paid me a shitload of money to come work for them and organize. I will always be a non-union employee working for the union. As far as dues go, I pay $276.00 a year to receive an hourly wage that is twice that of the non-union worker. Not many drop-outs in my trade either jack-ass! If you really are an engineer you would know that! But your not are you?

[birdnord]

It doesn't matter if you believe me loser. The fact of the matter is that I get paid a lot of money to baby sit, while assholes like you get paid a lot less and have to work a lot harder physically. I just point and assholes like you jump. How does it feel to be a dog? Makes you wish you went to college, doesn't it?

[birdnord]

It's amusing to see how upset you get from simple words. This shows how simple minded you must be. I hope you don't have children; they'll probably be retarded like their dad. That's if they're really your children, god only knows what happens in those trailer parks. A word of advice, don't get upset, just do something positive with your pathetic life. No matter what you write, you know deep inside that your life sucks, but don't get upset with me. You made your choices.

[gyneman]

My life is great dude. Its yours thats sad!

[Steevo199]

Hehe, reminds me of in India where heaps of people steal electricity off the grid by hooking cables over the lines with wooden rods.

[SteveHMcIntosh]

I think if the people here in the US knew how easy it was, we would see more people stealing electricity.

[homefry39]

oh how true that statement is
