Video

I commend your work ethic. However, the quality of the workmanship is suspect.

Great instructional video. Thanks!

This video could have been fifteen minutes long. You talk too much and the homeowner needs to be quiet as well. Just stick to the point of the physical installation

Codes are a PITA... It's not rocket science to install this. As a home owner I do whatever I want. I own several homes and rent them out, when I buy another. I don't have to deal with this code enforcement and hassle of permits.

Why?

I’ve been licensed for four years now, did mostly new construction high rise resi, commercial and industrial. Just starting my own company and although resi is not that complex, it is a whole new ball game for me. The imposter syndrome/internal inadequacy narrative is real sometimes lol. I greatly appreciate your humble and knowledgeable approach. Takes a real man to post mistakes!

Klein should have a tool truck going round to job sites. 😂

My high school electrical class head was on the NEC committee. He wrote (helped) the code book. “Work shall be done in a neat and workman like manner” practically from day 1 for three years. It drives me crazy when some tradesman leaves a mess behind, especially if it’s an electrician.

Thanks for all the tips on what to look for when my electrician tries to upsell me 😉

The noise in this place cannot meet noise codes for workers 8 hour exposure

I worked in a similar environment as a kid...6 months,made me go to school and learn electronics so I could work in a place where you dont have repetition boring noise all day. This place would cause me mental anquish...pay can't be good being in fla.,with no work protection rules pass

No ear plugs Osha needs to inspect...

Totally unimpressed. But thanks for the effort.

Sorry Joel, boring

What's the benefit of using a power conditioner as well? What is it? Is it worth it?

For a small service i believe its best to upgrade the panel with equipment having similar dimensions

I want the same siemens disconnect installed under my meter. Having a hard time getting it "allowed" im installing solar and want to be able to turn off power before my grid tied hybrid inveter. Should the thing need a "reset" it is a computer after all.

I enjoy watching your content. If I was not close to retirement I would recommend going into some kind of Trade like becoming an Electrician. I really think just my take on it is to first when one graduates is to get some form of Trade then decide if you want to go further than working in a trade. I have great respect for those in the trades. If I had to do it again I would become a licensed Electrician then gone into Telecom. I find both of these interesting, but I am about 4 years then I retire from the IT Industry, so this is just something I would recommend is all as a path for anyone going into and what an option is for kids these days. I just think it gives one more options. I just think having a trad and some kind of higher education is a good option as well. I will be 64 in about 4 years. I find the information very valuable though I do some of my electrical in the way that I do the running of the lines, and will connect things up. I will once it is done have someone who is licensed come and verify things as I do not trust everything I have done.

Is this not a violation of 680.10 regarding the trenching of wiring horizontally of 5’?

Hi

Does the breaker have to be GFCI / AFCI type?

Just ordered mine. Cant wait for an outtage.

Ain't no electrician that never got shocked...

Please don't make intros like that with the flying text like you are making a CZcams Short, that crap almost made me turn off the video it was so annoying.

It's an obvious mandatory use application as common sense would show it. But as usual, some guys don't care and want to take shortcuts.

How much roughly for all that

Thanks Joel Recently wired up my first transformer You always seem to have a useful video for what I’m doing

Is that a 1/2 socket?

Never trust self-adhesive LEDs... for that matter, self-adhesive ANYTHING. The adhesive will fail. Would you secure wires or piping to a wall with electrical tape?

You might stop after hitting a conduit?

Both primary and or secondary may have a neutral!

Just had a code test on transformers in the apprenticeship lol

Where is all that electric juice coming from? Any nuclear power plants in Indiana?

There is a physical connection between the primary and secondary: a magnetic field is physical...else the thing would not work. Should say there is no electrical connection.

Hope they preserve those push button switches. The example there looks like it needs the plate tightened or a spacer behind the mounting tab. I have some of those switches that are almost 100 years old and they work fine. The other stuff is telephone lightening arrestors. Probably still good, not really a hazard. I've preserved a number of fuse panels, fixtures, switches, etc. over the years from rewiring guts. My electrician buddy hands the stuff over in exchange for a few cold ones.

Dick Van Dyke recently put out a CZcams. He's hanging in there.

Cost? One such project on our street turnkey for a Kohler whole home generator where due to property line spacing the unit was on the opposite side of the home from the electrical/gas service was approximately $36K in DFW. It's not cheap!

I was inspecting building equipment same as this video. Opened a 25kva transformer and there were two pairs of channel locks setting on top of the coil heat shielding. They jad to of been there for 20+ years! The handle grips had melted to the shielding. Crazy

Hand tools...im 57

Hey I don't see a grounding electrode or GEC? Are they not required in your state?

Thanks for your time. I have a few questions that will help me determine my tub placement. Is there a reference for the type of wire to be used in conduit from the Hot Tub to the GFCI breaker? If I have to go, 75 ft to the house from the GFCI breaker can I also install a quick disconnect between the GFCI and the house main panel? If the conduit from the house to the GFCI breaker is under a deck, can I attach the conduit to the underside of the deck?

Where is your main bonding jumper, and grounding electrode and electrode conductor?

Can sell a job beautifully. Can’t sell me on his efficiency

Every electrician that’s working with commission- that’s a great way to loose money.

I’m thinking about starting this journey. I’m done with my job I’m at rn. But I love working with my hands & working hard. Love it. But I’m like you. My experience with this is trying it because I wanna soak up info as much as possible. I’m willing to learn every thing I need to ❤

So for a 220v receptacle

One day I am going to find a better way , I am going to find the real secret lol you sir you can keep doing what you do lol

Why not put in a 220v circuit for each delta pro so you can fast charge at 2880watts?

1. Hole through stud is way too close to the edge without a nail plate. 2. Using an unapproved method for entering the box (drilled in the side). 3. Double tapped Neutral. 4. Used both screws on neutral and hot side. (To my knowledge I think you are only allowed to do this if you break the tab and it is then used for switching applications. I’m not sure if that is true but I want to say I’ve been told this.) 5.the spacers are permitted as long as you put a coffin to keep the energized parts from touching anything combustible. 6. NM cable is cut outside of the box.
