Clearest instructions I've seen on this. Thanks. I had one electrician quote $900 to install a breaker and an outlet right next to the box. For $50 in materials and 90 minutes I did it myself
very simple way to install a Breaker despite if you decide to do it life or not that's up to you - I don't want to light up like a Christmas tree so turn the main breaker OFF- GREAT job Instructor Thank you!
I've watched a lot of videos and this is by far the easiest one to understand. I definitely subscribed.next I need to see how to attach multiple lights with 1 light switch
Thanks for the informative video. It seems others rush thru this so fast I am backing the video up because I thought I missed something. But you took things slow and easy. Yet still didn't make a 5 min job into a half hour video.
Very good. Other videos start with a more complicated breaker like a GFCI or an arc arrester breaker. Your video teaches the basics, what I want to know.
Thanks Craig. Quick comment - When I watch how-to videos I also want to know the most common ways that something can be done incorrectly. It helps to reinforce the correct way to it. Thanks again.
Thanks Craig, you make it look easy, I don’t know anything about electricity, but do know solar, we have outgrown our wire runs to plugs for a surge protector outlet strip , inverter and deep cycle batteries runs our cabin, lights, fridge and even a tv
Awesome content! Very thorough and helpful for someone, like me, who has no idea about electrical. Thanks very much and look forward to binging your videos
Absolutely great video! Most how to or diy instructional videos good or bad are rushed and the instructions are poorly explained. Resulting in having to watch and find certain spots to understand how to execute the task or missing something completely. The convoluted information that has no relevance to the project and work and even at times they admit after a long winded pointless story. I felt comfortable and confident that I could execute this potentially dangerous job without problems. I have a recording studio and wanted to have independent circuits for powering equipment that have heavy pull and that are expensive. For such a small job it would suck to pay someone to come out and do it for me when it’s so easy. Also the peace of mind that I know it’s done right, won’t put my family in danger, or my equipment that took a lifetime to a lifetime to accumulate. I can tell you truly understand what your doing and others could learn a lot from how you teach. I have Great job and thank you.
I found that useful. Right to the point, with no muddied explanations. I think I would want to tie a yellow zip tie around all three wires as well to further remove confusion down the line to quickly identify them as coming from the same sheathed wire assembly. I see that both your ground and your neutral white wire went to the same bus bar. I like that SQ D simplification. I had just seen a diagram of a service panel with separate bus bars for the neutral, and others for the ground, but I believe that the bus bars were somehow bonded, or at least the diagram suggested it, giving it the same effect in essence, by providing them both a path to ground, but managing to make a mess of the wires with their design, and create a little confusion to boot. I much prefer Square D, but wonder if the extra expense for a QO is really justified over their Homeline.
That is not a square d certification, that is a faulty installation. The neutral and ground should not be bonded in a sub panel. They should only be bonded in the main distribution panel. If you do not understand what that means do not attempt.
Craig, good presentation, however, at the beginning you gave permission to your students to poke their hands into an electrical box while looking the other way. Glad for you the panel was cold and your hand stopped where it did. A careless student might not be so lucky.
There can still be parts that are hot where the main breaker lugs are in a main residential panel unless you get the utility company out to pull their meter while you work on the panel.
Thank you no rushing its clear and understandable. How do I install extra reset button from main reset button from the panel coz you can reset from other location as you don't have to come to panel all the time to reset.
With AC (alternating current ) I refer to (Watts law) Power (P)watts = Voltage x Current . Example of 120 VAC x 20 amps = 2400 Watts. Also I still refer to series and parallel circuits as Parallel Circuits voltage stays the same and current divides among the parallel branches. Also in series the voltage will divide and current remain the same. I hook up all the time the hot line to the circuit breaker and also run the hot line in series with a switch and keep the neutrals (commons) white wires together. That means to me that all the white lines ( common) end up on the neutral bar in the breaker box and that the individual circuit is always connected to a circuit breaker. Looking at the panel the neutral bus bar (white lines) never has a circuit breaker!
this was a very helpful video! I looked through your channel and didn't see a similar video of installing a breaker for 240v (such as for water heater, A/C, or oven). If you can make one I'll be glad to watch and "like" it.
Helpful for me, thank you. DO you have a video on how to pigtail wires in the electrical box? For example, if you run an 8 gauge for a tankless electric water heater and need to pigtail the 8 gauge ground wire due to lack of room on the buss bar? Keep up the good work!

So helpful! Every detail covered. The closeups were very handy. I appreciate it
Craig your videos are very helpful. Im a retired lineman 40 years at the electric utility.
Man, your channel is far underrated! Best instructions ever. Clear and to the point.
I love how you explain everything in detail, very helpful to include even the smallest thing.

I shared this video with my friend Mr. M. She needed help replacing her breaker. Thanks for your wisdom!

Great explanation. Very clear and easy to follow along! Installed my first breaker with your help!

Really helpful video thank u for sharing ur skill
Thank very much!!! I enjoy this so I hope you Subscribed!!! Thank you for watching!! CM

Dan Benton what u mean
You're not supposed to work them hot.
There can still be parts that are hot where the main breaker lugs are in a main residential panel unless you get the utility company out to pull their meter while you work on the panel.
You made simple to understand, thanks
It was the easiest video to understand thank you

Two thumbs up! Concise!
Thank you so much for your support!! CM
Thanks, Craig !
Easy to understand and well made vid. Thank you.
Great job! Thank you
Also looks like a sub panel. Good thing people know that grounds and neutrals should be isolated. Lord have mercy!
Great video, thank you for share
Thanks, Craig.
Thank you-very helpful
Great video
Thank you great instructions
Great instruction ... I feel more confident after this video.
Great video!
Thanks was very helpful
Good video I learned alot
Very helpful, thanks
Great video.
Helpful for me, thank you. DO you have a video on how to pigtail wires in the electrical box? For example, if you run an 8 gauge for a tankless electric water heater and need to pigtail the 8 gauge ground wire due to lack of room on the buss bar? Keep up the good work!
Sorry I dont at this time. I will add it to my list of things to shoot. Thank you for the suggestion. CM
Just land it under the neutral buss bar assuming it’s ur main panel and u have room
Great instructions
I prefer the bolt on breakers, although Eaton breakers snap on more firmly on a GE panel than GE breakers
You da man Craig
Thank you !
Gracias gracias hermano
Thank you
Thankyou good job
Appreciate ya!! Thanks bud
Thank you.
