I have been scrapping metal cable since I was an apprentice, copper cable mainly. Will It Make You Rich? I have never used aluminium cable. There is probably a good reason for that. All the tools used in the video can be seen here on amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/shop/toolboxtalkforelectricians?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_aipsftoolboxtalkforelectricians_7HCWCVT3MTZN669RW9PV Not only the tools used in the video, but all the tools I use as an electrician. Transitioning from stripping copper cables as an apprentice to encountering aluminium cables can indeed mark a significant shift in one's electrical work experience. Let's explore the nuances of working with both copper and aluminium cables and why your familiarity may have primarily been with copper. Material Properties: Copper and aluminium are two common materials used in electrical wiring due to their conductivity properties. Copper is an excellent conductor of electricity and is known for its reliability, durability, and resistance to corrosion. On the other hand, aluminium is lighter and less expensive than copper but has lower conductivity and can be more prone to oxidation. Historical Preference: Historically, copper has been the preferred choice for electrical wiring in many applications due to its superior conductivity and long-term performance. As a result, apprentices and electricians often gain extensive experience working with copper cables during their training and early career stages. Compatibility and Standards: Electrical systems and components are often designed and manufactured based on specific materials and standards. Copper and aluminium cables may have different characteristics and requirements in terms of sizing, connections, terminations, and compatibility with equipment. This can influence the choice of materials based on the application and regulatory standards. Safety and Performance Considerations: While aluminium cables can be suitable for certain applications, such as overhead power lines or large-scale installations where weight and cost considerations are significant, they require specialized handling and precautions. Aluminium's lower conductivity necessitates larger wire sizes compared to copper for the same electrical load, which can impact installation practices and equipment compatibility. Oxidation and Corrosion: Aluminium cables are more susceptible to oxidation and corrosion when exposed to environmental elements or improper installation practices. This can lead to issues such as increased resistance, overheating, and potential safety hazards if not addressed properly. Electricians need to be aware of these differences and follow recommended practices for working with aluminium conductors. Training and Exposure: The focus of apprenticeship programs and early training often revolves around foundational skills and practices, which may primarily involve copper wiring due to its prevalence in residential, commercial, and industrial applications. As electricians gain experience and encounter diverse projects, they may expand their knowledge and skills to include handling aluminium cables where necessary. Continuing Education and Adaptation: With advancements in materials technology and evolving industry standards, electricians may undergo additional training or certifications to stay updated on best practices for working with different types of cables, including aluminium. This ongoing learning process ensures that professionals can effectively meet the requirements of diverse projects and deliver high-quality electrical installations and services. In conclusion, while your experience with stripping copper cables during your apprenticeship has provided valuable skills and knowledge, encountering aluminium cables may require additional training, precautions, and awareness of material-specific considerations. Understanding the differences between copper and aluminium conductors and following recommended practices ensures safety, compliance, and optimal performance in electrical installations and maintenance tasks.

Rubbish Electricians actually get away with murder! With the trades industry full of tradesmen who do a bad job and actually do rip a customer off, How do they actually get away with it? Is it the fault of the dodgy builder or is the customer to blame? To be able to stop these rouge traders there are a few things we can do, after all its the good trade people who have the job of sorting all the mess out. Lets be honest, its a lot easier to do a job from the beginning than turn up at the end and try and make it safe - Sometimes by then it too late and has to all come out.

The NEW Generations of Electrical Apprentices. Its the wheel of life, we teach the younger generation what we know and they will be able to carry on flying the flag for the electricians in years to come. That's the plan anyway. South & City Collage in Birmingham invited a few social media electricians along to an event. Me, Chris, Ryan and Kasper all attended to meet the students, It was a great opportunity for them to ask any questions they had. Of course we had to enter the time trial (check the podcast out to see who won) to set the pace for the students to win some prizes. The good thing about visiting an electrical collage is that you get an idea of what the impression of the electrical industry looks like from the view of the electrician of the future. Tune into the podcast to see what else I learnt from the visit to South & City Collage Birmingham.

30 Minutes to Electrical Mastery: The Challenge of a Full EICR - Impossible or a Game-Changer? Think you can conquer the EICR challenge in just 30 minutes? Well, here's the truth – while some might claim they can speed through it, the real pros know better. To do the job right, an electrician needs more than just half an hour. So, who's out there offering EICRs for under £100 and actually doing justice to the task? Because let's face it, there are countless properties that legally require an EICR. Imagine this: Electricians promising a thorough EICR for just £99 and wrapping up five in a single day! Sounds tempting, right? But the cold, hard truth is, a proper EICR in 30 minutes is as elusive as a unicorn. Not only is the paperwork practically worthless, but the electrician is also setting themselves up for potential legal trouble. 💡Buckle up for the reality check – the EICR challenge is no speedy sprint; it's a meticulous marathon where quality can't be compromised. Who's ready to embrace the truth and uphold the standards?" 💡The podcast Jobs Cowboy Electricians Have Bodged - And Left Dangerous🔨 https://player.captivate.fm/episode/c9f7d0d1-9707-48f3-a09a-7b6503c5df3e

But if you were offered a bigger job. A rewire of a whole property, what would you say? Is there more money to be made in doing bigger jobs like rewires. Can it be worth it to work that bit harder a few times a year to make better money on bigger jobs? OR Do the smaller jobs pull in the same amount?
