This is very good information for those who just Learning to Ground...👍👍

nice job!

I can’t believe you used a piece of wood to break the drywall strip that you had laid on the block of wood. You need to use your hands to break the drywall not lumber. It can easily break with your hands, specially 1/2” drywall

It's not that simple when you hook up the power you will get power to the unit however you will not get power to the thermostat. My unit has a computer board that gets its power from somewhere else.

i have never cursed as much as trying to put one of these coils back into a rototiller today!

great video , except for nailing into your workbench :)

Thanks so much for sharing this, BiG help. - take care from Tn.

Thanks for the video 👍, Here's a question, I just want to make sure I understand, Is this generator connected to this grounding electrode to protect the equipment hooked to it from induced current coming from a lightning strike?

great video

New Sub here. Nice splitter, I just ordered the SuperSplit from New England #slackoutdoors

Thank You Cheers Matey Go & Have A Go.

Thanks so much. As well as wearing gloves I suggest eye protection as well. If the spring comes loose it could flip your eyeball out!!

will any generator that has the proper wattage work of do you need an inverter generator to avoid damaging the furnace computer chip?

could you do a video,on generator transfer switch!.

Man, that thing has got balls! You say it has 2 x 75 lb flywheels? OR does it have 75 lb flywheel total weight? Is it Chinese?

The cable really helps alot. If the box only had a padlock on it you could definitely twist that nut off from the outside by just pulling the lock to hold tension on the eye bolt....I would say a nyloc nut is absolutely necessary when using this with a standard padlock

Hi Rick, I have a EU7000isC generator and the manual states "Honda EB5000i/EB7000i generators are designed for construction job site use and cannot be connected to a building’s electrical system. These generators have the neutral bonded to ground to comply with OSHA job site temporary power regulation" I want to install a transfer switch (30-Amp Indoor Generator Transfer Switch Kit for 6-10 Circuits). How can I connect this EB7000 correctly to the house electrical system. I didn't understand your video 100%. THX

Success!

great job, had me sitting on the edge of my seat with that spring,

Very effective, so easy using your idea on recoiling the spring.Your idea save me lots of aggravation, THANK YOU....GOD BLESS

Is it okay to take out one black adapter for the cord and leave in the other one? It is too tight if I put both in. Now there are spaces around the cord though. Do I need to cover that with electrical tape?

Is it possible to reuse the neutral that goes in at the top...if it's in good shape, just seemed like an extra step that could help avoid injury. Keep in mind I have never done this before nor do I have electrical box experience. Great stuff, love the test dowel & schematic sheet, great ideas!

Could a 2000w honda inverter generator power both a residential hot water boiler and forced hot air furnace. I have both at difference locations? Thanks

I want to know the names of all the component parts of the automatic transfer switch and their ratings. Where and how will I get them?

Hi, Just finished doing this for my 2002 Jetta TDI. Used a piece of 14/2 house wire (black), striped a bit at the end and made a loop at the other. Works fine. Thanks for the video.

Excellent! Thanks for posting this!

lol I pop out the string and can't put back watching CZcams for help 😋

Thank you! I just did this on my stihl trimmer. it worked great. nice video!!!

Thanks for the tips you have discussed here.

Nice Job, thank you much.

Your generator should be 10 feet away from the house.

Very good!

can't get the screw out holding spring in

Nice video, well done. Very helpful.

Dude, Thank you so much. I did it in 5 minutes. All I have to say is INGENIOUS!

just don't do live electric. it's not worth the risk. this guy did a great job, but it's not worth the risk

What would you have to do if you started out with 2 lights in the basement with obviously 2 sets of wires but you wanted to add 2 lights?..so you end up with 4 in total

Good video but 15 Amps wont power much maybe your lights and that's it

Can I do this even if the plug has a test button on it?

I have been looking for a solution like this for years! thanks a lot. One question though: do you think this would void the warranty of my furnace? It is just a couple of years old, and I dont want any trouble in the event they have to come to fix it.

Excellent video of the 20mm can locks. EYELET bolts....DUH on me, lol. Off to the hardware store I go. I could not justify spending $6-$7 for those manufactured locks. Thanks a lot, Sir. For my current can, its bolted down to my truck bed and storing chemicals in it like coolant, oil, DOT III fluid, and hose repair tape.....they have been stolen but thankfully the thieves left my lid there. I have an old truck, lol. Thanks again.

Rick Many portable generators have their earth centre tapped for safety reasons. This halves the electrical voltage to earth and makes using portable tools that much safer. However it causes difficulties when using the same generator for fixed installations. Have you come across this problem and is there a way round it?

I have very similar light fixture in our unfinished basement like your PRE installation fixture. I was wondering if IC and airtight IC or non IC matters? I am planning to buy these recessed lighting www.lowes.com/pd/Halo-White-New-Construction-Recessed-Light-Kit-Fits-Opening-6-in/3241080. Are these appropriate?

Rick my cord is the flat gray one , one wire that's color coded is the middle one with green and yellow how to I proved Effectively

My only concern with your video is not the grounding but how close the generator is to the house. The manufacture requires a generator be as far away from the house to prevent carbon monoxide from entering the home. Either way, it;s a great video.

I'm replacing the plug to a stand up fan. I bought a plug, it says 125V. Is that correct for the fan? Thanks

Thanks for the info. I'd really like to get a more in-depth explanation on how it works mechanically.

Thanks so much Rick my husband out of town and really needed to fix a plug was in a panic but after watching this I'm going to do it my self your instructions where so great ! The little thing example twisting the wire are great thanks to you I don't have to replace the window ac and yes you did a great job with the picking the up detial on video

Seems to me If you got the main switch at the top off the panel switch off the power should be off at the bottom of the panel .
