  • Welcome to my first CZcams video!
    As requested, in this video, I give an in-depth tutorial of how I tie-in a main residential panel.
    I am located in British Columbia, Canada and follow the Canadian Electrical Code.
    The panel in this video is a 200A Siemens Panel and I am using Siemens 15A Dual Function, 15A, 20A, 30/30A, 40/40A and 50/50A breakers.

    I am in IT so I truly appreciate a good cable job and terminations at the rack, but rarely do I see such a clean job on the electric side. Awesome!

      Because it's not practical... Eventually something is going to need to be replaced and it'll be an absolute nightmare.

      If you work non union or work around scabby outfits maybe you don't see nice panels. However in my experience, people in my union take pride on their panels.

      ​@MrGuideElk very rarely you will need to replace cables in panels such as this one. The only time you will do is during a home gut remodel but that cam take decades. My home is built in the 1940's and I still have the same cables in the walls. Copper doesn't go bad.

    I’m a drywall painting contractor, but I always take a peek inside a panel if it’s cut to see wether the electrician takes pride in their work or not. My neighbor is an electrician and he takes the same kind of care that you do. He cut my box for me and it’s a work of art!

    I was an electrical apprentice back in the early 90's. I never got to learn how to dress a panel before me and the industry parted ways. Later, I got into low voltage. I tried to keep a "tidy" panel and I improved over the years, but it never got to this level. I will be taking so of the stuff you showed here to improve my dressing and hopefully when I do the rewire at my home, my panel will look half as good.
    Thank you for sharing and keep up the good work.

    My mom was the second female jouneyman electrician at TVA back in the 70s. She worked in nuclear plants the entire time and everything had to be this neat. She wired her own house after she retired. Well done.

      @joeweatlu5169 Před 7 měsíci +1

      As a former WE Installer, everything had to be to exacting standards, including how to dress cables. We actually had our own quality inspectors check our work at intervals before the job was signed off. It's a pity how after divestiture other companies would outbid us and do totally crap work. Sad part was whenever we had to do an install after our competitors it was almost impossible to make it look like a quality job.

    Glad I ran across this channel. I will be sure to recommend it to all my beginner electrical students, knowing that the female students will take particular inspiration from a role model and that everyone can appreciate the quality of the work. Nice that you're in Canada too. There are many different ways to wire a panel and do a nice job. This is certainly one of them.

    That panel is a beautiful as you! A work of art. My son, with over 25 yrs of experience, occasionally sends me photos of his completed wiring jobs that show how much pride and care he also puts into his work. Most of his are large commercial and industrial jobs, often with huge wires and massive panels.

I can bet my bottom dollar that you not only know what it means to make so many sacrifices and bust your tail, but it makes you appreciate what we men as laborers, blue collar workers go thru.

    I have been doing this for 40 years but I have to admit that you do a better job than I do. You need to update the video to show a good way to wire a panel with plug on afci breakers. They are now required in the US for new construction.
