      Well first off it's called MC not conduit. Second just because they legally could use romex doesn't mean the prints said they could. MC is way stronger and harder for a stray screw to damage it. Also critters are not going to be able to chew threw aluminum but they definitely will chew through plastic

    every one of those home run boxes jumping to another power box are connected one and wired one by one ? and leads back to the power box ? or some of them you have found ways to connect them if they seperate wired to the power box, which is apart from the other ones in the garage?

    • @DailyElectrician
      @DailyElectrician  Před rokem +1

      each wire and box has a specific purpose. you have to know the purpose so you know how to wire it accordingly. some are "home runs" to one box and stop. some hit the first box then jump to others.

    Was noting the quality of your line cabling, it's called 'BX' cable? Is that right? Here in Georgia they only use the plastic coated wires. But out in the country where we are, sometimes 'wildlife' gets in, and they like to chew on cable. So I wish we had the metal-clad stuff like you are installing in the video. Is it something I need to ask for when having new wiring done?

      No, apply for an apprenticeship, meanwhile you get a chance to get into the apprenticeship. Work for an electrical company and get experience while going to school. Many I’ve seen go to school only, then they get a school certification/degree and don’t make it in the field. Now unions are usually fast to get you into an apprenticeship if you pass their exams with very good scores, non union schools help out a lot if you wanna get a job fast but as an Electrical Trainee. Search up the meanings of these two it will help out a lot.

    Why is it a bad idea to take the output of a Honda EU2200i and bring it into a house via the 240-volt GENERATOR INLET? I realize that it cannot power the whole house. I am only looking to power one circuit. I also realize that the generator only outputs 120-volts. However, can't 120 easily be converted to 240? Simply encouraging me to just run extension cords through doors/windows doesn't answer my question. I want to understand why using the generator inlet (NEMA SS2-50P) is a bad idea (or impossible). If it is possible & won't hurt anything, I would much rather use the inlet vs. running an extension cord through a window.

      I just discovered that a variety of products exist on the market that are aimed at doing what I described above. Should I gather from that that what I am wanting to do is perfectly safe & legitimate? I also have this question: Many of the adapters I have seen only have one 5-15P feeding them. Should I assume from that that what comes out the other end is only 110v? In other words, 110v exiting from a, let's say 14-50R, which is obviously designed to supply 220v? If so - if only 110 volts enter the house via the generator inlet, what issues (if any) would that cause?

      @@anoniemoss3566 i think i understand that you can wire a cable in a vertical or horizontal way on a device like a switch? Seems to bee appropriate :) here we can only wire a cable horizontaly under 10 inch or upper x inch or on a vertical way up or under a device...
      But we doesen't have steel protection like that in residential installation :)

      I would say the way they did that borders on overkill. Most installs I see still use NM-B cable and plastic boxes.

    buy the way guy's or girls out there if you are going to do a job big or small do a good job ok because word of mouth gets around in our building trades industry and tells us what you are doing right or wrong ok, there is a big difference in having a silver tongue ok and looking good, but the real truth is can you deliver on your words, can you get the job is done when called upon or not, so all and all is know the why's and what for's of what you are doing in the field out there ok, anyone can hang up boxes, pull wiring thru raceways ok but remember why you are doing it to achieve what? ok yes type of cables correct outside must be w rated for wet area's everything outside a building is considered outside, so nm cable is not approved for wet areas ok, also know how to figure out your minimum branch circuit conductors from 220 volt fixed appliances like condensers, mini splits etc when I inspect your job I'm going off the fla on the unit which gives me a lot of information on the unit like minimum amps, maximum and or minimum breaker sizes, etc. if the unit does not give you the minimum breaker size than you always multiply the minimum amps by 115% this gives you, your smallest breaker size which will be the next size up from the 115% multiplier ok and of course, it will always give you the maximum breaker size, and you cannot go over it at all or you will fail the job if it says maximum 20 amp breaker that's it no 25-30 amp allowed ok
