Building a Silo: Electric Installation and Conduit Work

TLDRIn this video, we work on the construction of a new silo, focusing on the electric installation and conduit work. We explain how the new silo will have a permanent cord that runs all the way to the top, eliminating the need to move the cord during operations. We also discuss the decision to run the conduit up the outside of the shoot and the challenges involved. Additionally, we show the process of setting up the electrical box and installing the conduit pipes.

Key insights

🏗️The new silo will have a permanent cord, eliminating the need to move it during operations.

🔌Conduit pipes will be used to run the electrical wiring up the outside of the silo.

The conduit work requires careful planning and positioning of the pipes.

🏢The electrical box is set up at the top of the silo to facilitate easy access to the power source.

🔨Installing the conduit pipes requires precise measurements and clamping to ensure stability.

Q&A

Why is a permanent cord important for the silo?

A permanent cord eliminates the need to move the cord during operations, making the process more convenient and efficient.

Why was the decision made to run the conduit up the outside of the shoot?

Running the conduit up the outside of the shoot was deemed more practical and easier to implement compared to running it up the inside.

How is the electrical box set up?

The electrical box is positioned at the top of the silo for easy access to the power source and to facilitate the connection of the unloader.

What challenges are involved in the conduit work?

The conduit work requires careful planning and positioning of the pipes to ensure proper installation and functionality.

What steps are involved in installing the conduit pipes?

Installing the conduit pipes involves precise measurements, clamping, and securing them in place to ensure stability and functionality.
