Anything you can do I can do better!

No you can't. yes I can!

Another (late) friday game.

Thought it'd be fun to have a p**sing contest
Someone says work they've done before reply if you've done it bigger and better.

I can see this being fun as there's someone(tel) that'll go over the top

Biggest cable I've worked on is 35mm 3 core armoured

Not me but my youngest who works for DNO - 785mm supply cable.
Now he doesn't do that type of work anymore, he is a hot glove technician and heads one of 20 or so teams in the country working live on the 11kV distribution network. I still follow safe isolation at 240V!

240mm 4 core and 400mm copper singles in parallel making 800mm in total, which took 3 of us to bend into position and crimp/ bolt to terminals

I once forced a 2.5 3 core flex into a 13amp plug top... you lot have never known struggling

 

[telectrix]

that's nothing. i once forced an apprentice under the floor into a 10" deep void to pull a cable through.

Connecting big cables is backbreaking but satisfying but it is the small fiddly stuff that makes people chuck tools about.

Biggest swa ive glanded was a 300mm 4core . Easy to get in with use of a forklift that lowered the panel onto readily glanded cable .

 

[stevethesparks]

400mm 4 core swa is the largest I've worked with. To be fair, my company hired a cable gang to pull that one in, I helped, but the most I could do was lift it and go with the flow. Back breaking. The standard cable on the same site was 240mm 4 core, 100's of metres of that went in. Now self employed I've been demoted to domestic installer
