This video was just slow and repetitive enough for my layperson's mind to grasp how it works. Perfect! Thank you so much!
Thank you my dad was a electrician he recently passed away so I couldn't call him for help but this showed me how.
Any time.
Nice video....slow and steady, and no unnecessary haste. Close up of breaker anatomy is really thoughtfu and useful. Thank you,
Any time.
Excellent teacher. The best video on the internet to install a 240
Thank You
Very thorough demonstration. I learned how to do it! Other videos rush through the wiring of the breaker. Thanks, Joseph.
Any time.
This was well done , thank you for being so patient to your audience. It was one of the best explanations I've seen. I belive it had to do with the fact that you talk slow and relaxed, explain thing two or three times to make sure the viewers get it.
Thank You.
what a great job explaining everything. thanks so much
Thank you! Definitely worth watching through especially if you're new and just learning electrical stuff
Any time
Great video and explanation! Extremely helpful to anyone connecting new wiring to circuit breaker panel.
Glad it was helpful!
Great educational video. I was able to install my own 240 v 50a thanks to you.
Great to hear!
Very nice going through everything 2 to 3 times THANK YOU!
Thanks for making the video! Not a lot people can make a video explaining everything well explained!
Any time.
Really nice explanation.. All parts were nicely & patiently explained.. The repeating of important points during videos was very helpful for a layperson like me.. It gives more confidence & better understanding of the concept. I am less afraid of the electricity box now 😊. Thank you sooo much 👍👍🙏🙏

Thanks for the pointers. After reviewing several hours of DIY videos (such as yours), I was able to install my tesla gen 2 HWPC. It was a total pain in the..... but still saved me about 1k doing it myself. I'm going back to all the videos that I was able to get some key information and leaving a "thank you".
Thank You.
What other info do I need? I want to do same job!!! Thx
@@chezchezchezchez
I had zero electrical experience so I had to start from the very basics.
I downloaded the install instructions from Tesla then whatever questions I had, I simply "googled" or "youtube'd" for answers. I had to buy all new tools since I didn't have any. I ended up doing a lot of overkill on my setup....I used 6gauge wire which really wasn't necessary..... used a 240 load circuit breaker which was also overkill. It took about 1 week of research.....2 weeks for parts to show up from from home depot (wire and circuit breaker) and maybe 8hrs for the actual install. After installing, I do recommend having an electrician come by and have everything checked out.
@@rmcfadde1 The electrician charges $120 to show up, and $80 an hour. If I’m gonna have them just check it out, I might as well have him install the damn thing. Right?
@@chezchezchezchez
In my case, the install was going to cost $1400... that wasn't the issue. The issue was they were backed up by 3 months....I didn't want to wait that long....I was ready to drive/charge my car asap.
If you are driving a 40k-80k vehicle... just pay the $120 or $200 to have your electrician do a buddy check..... or don't!! Like I said, I didn't know what I was doing so I felt I needed the double check. Good Luck and take care!
Best video on electrical box setup.

as an experienced electrician i say everything he says is right but would never send people operating this equipment without proper qualifications, youtube is great for diy ers but some stuff is too risky to try from this video alone
CZcams is great for learning all about toilets. It was wonderful for me. 🤪
What is too risky about this? As long as you make sure nothing is hot as you work on it, this is not rocket science. Yes, there are other electrical repair/installs that are more complicated/dangerous but this sure isn't one of them.
@@Redandranger dont know where you are from but where i am we understand that even after a successful installation over time problems may occur, there’s a code to go by, wiring methods . this video alone doesn’t say everything. i know the bill can be high but at this point make sure a professional is performing the work. i use youtube to learn stuff and when i do i watch more than one video, that way i make sure i know what i’m doing
Thank you

Awesome thank you very much im actually putting a shore power for my motorhome & its 240v 50 amps and i have a dog bone which converts my 50 amps to 30 amps so when i follow your installation proses i should have power from my breaker box to my 240v 50 amp outlet thank you very much for your video your a very good electrition ill be instslling to day just one question what guage was those wires? And can i find it at home depot? Thanks & God Bless you.

Thank you
It's a really minor issue, but a picky inspector might fail a DIYer for installing the NEMA 14-50 receptable upside down or for putting it too close to the floor. Ground terminal should be at the top of the receptacle, not the bottom. This is so that the range/dryer plug cable will go down towards the floor when installed correctly hence why it has to be a minimum height above the floor. Since this was installed so close to the floor, I suspect it was installed upside down on purpose so the plug's cable would go up instead.
You are correct and good you noticed it. It was my mistake. I latter rotted the 50 Amp receptacle 180 degrees so the ground will be toward the floor.
He is working on a sub-panel. Grounds and neutral must be separate in a sub, but nit in a main panel. Some inspectors want the breakers to be made by the panel manufacturer,
Thanks for doing this video but I noticed one glaring issue with your panel. And I'm not trying to be one of those guys who points out everything you did wrong because you did a lot correct. This is a safety issue. You have neutrals double tapped under one lug on the bus bar. This is a major no no and against NEC code. If one of those neutrals is loose, it can cause arching and is a fire hazard. You have more than enough room to move those neutrals to their own lug on that side of the bus bar. With grounds you can do that, as long as they are the same size.
I didn't do it . It was done by the contactor who built the house.
Good!
Any time.
I only have a 60a and a 40a breaker on hand. Could I use one of those?
Good overview. 1. The ground/neutral does not come from the electrical company. It comes from the ground stake into the ground. 2. General Electric and Siemens are not compatible. May fit bit not approved UL method and should fail inspection. 3. May want to lockout the main to prevent a family from switching it on while you work.
The neutral come from the transformer of the electrical company. The ground is a wire connected to a cupper rod or a water pipe which are in the ground at least 2 feet.
2. It is incorrect. GE breaker is preferable but not a must. I had an inspector. Any breaker sold in US must be according to the electrical standard In the US.
3. The house was empty, if it was not I would locked the box.
Joseph K thanks for the response! Sorry it is a matter of perspective. I see often the neutral bonded to the ground at the service entrance. / As for the breakers unlisted on the panel label, I did not know of the other allowable provision you stated.
@@williamho4739 Thank for make it clear.
Ty sir
Good video. I have a 3 car garage/ man cave fully insulated, ceilings too and even the garage doors. Garage is about 660 sq ft with 8ft celing hight. The lowest tempature during Christmas will be 37 degrees farenhight. My questions is if I install a 5000-7000w electric heater, I have to installed a 240v outlet too right or it can be just hardwired??
Eventually I will buy a minisplit system and be getting rid of the electric heater. Will I be able to use the 240v outlet previously installed for electric heater when I install mini split in future??
Also we will be getting an electric car down the road so I will need a 240v outlet to charge car so what will be the correct pathway for my projects, install a 240v right now for electric heater so I have heater in man cave before Christmas or maybe just use propane heater just for that day🙄 until I figure out what minisplit system to buy??
Sorry for all the questions
You should install 240v/50Amps like I did for range. This will give you maximum of12KW. You can use it for EV car or for heater.
Nice video. Quick question. If I check from EACH hot to GROUND I should also 120V correct? Thanks
Yes .
תודה רבה

Thank you so much

good job..howver, i dont think you want to the hot wires too short on the breaker. having the plastic too far in could cause arcing and therefore overheating on the cable sheeting
Not true. The cable is 50 Amps cable. The maximum current that Range can take is $40 Amps. This cable only start to get hot if the current will go over 50 Amps. But if current is going over 50 Amps the breaker will break the circuit (disconnect power.) By the way the insulation of the wire is fire resistance.
I agree with Joseph. It seems like arcing would only be more likely if he had left more wire exposed
So whats the Diff between 3 wire cables, and 4 wire cables.? white, red, black and the bare one... or black, white and bare wire...
Great video! I have electric stove
40 amp breaker. However the cable is 4 wire just like the one u have on video, I was wandering is it ok to live it like it's?
Yes it is OK.
@@josephk9182 good to know thanks!
Joseph. Very nicely done video! There are a couple issues you may want to address. Even though we all know Siemens breakers and GE breakers will fit in the other panels, a Siemens breaker was not tested not listed for use in a GE panel. Therefore a violation of NEC. Also, must follow written instructions from the manufacturer. GE will not tell you ok to install Siemens.
I'm not sure why you think Siemens breakers are better than GE.
The second thing is, NEC and manufacturers tell you do not put two neutral wires in the same hole in the neutral bar. This has been found to cause loose connections, arcing, and melted insulation. It is ok for the ground conductors though.
Hoping this helps you.
Please be safe, the life you save may be your own.
Respectfully, Kevin
Thank you for the input. You can put Siemens breakers in GE panel. There is a standard for breaker that companies follows. Regarding put two neutral wires in the same hole I agree it will be better.
Kevin Coop can you provede the NEC article number if you're so kind? I'm studying the NEC book and would be great to gather that information.
Thanks in advance
Ramiro Rosiles I am very happy to guide you. I am referencing NEC 2017. The first part of my comment is about listings. Please read all of 110.3, (A), (B), and (C). Equipment must be installed as listed meaning as it was tested. And also per manufacturers written instructions.
As far as the second comment about neutral(grounded conductor) terminations in panelboards, please read 408.41.
I hope this helps. Respectfully, Kevin
Thanks a lot for your feedback Kevin
Ramiro Rosiles For what purpose are you trying to learn NEC?
thank you for this video i am now ready to install a 50 amp outlet for my 50 amp motorhome now to find out what size wire i need to do the connection ? ...
Please use a 50 Amp cable 660 V . Please look at video part 1.

@@josephk9182 thank you
Should a 50 amp breaker be used for most ranges? And a 6/3 wire? I have a standard 30” GE Range but it doesn’t specify what to use in the user’s manual
You should use 6/3 wire. Usually a range will take maximum 40 Amp when all heads are on. You breaker should be slightly above 40 Amps which is 50 Amps.
@@josephk9182 great thanks for the reply! You video was extremely useful and I’m now confident in doing this installation.
@@EmpireTextbooks Good luck.
What do you do if you don’t have a switch outside next to the meter to turn off the power? Can’t you just turn off the main switch within the circuit breaker panel?
I did not have main switch in the circuit breaker panel that turn off electricity to the panel. If you have a main breaker switch that shout off electricity to the panel you should use it. After you turn off electricity to the panel You must verify that there is no electricity in the panel !!.
When you're testing to see if the line conductors are energized you tested between the two hots. Wouldn't the voltage be 0 there even when they are energized since they're both at 120V?
No. Both are 120v from hot to neutral but from hot to hot is 120 + 120 = 240 V
@@josephk9182 Thanks for the video!
@@kurt2439 Any Time
By the way, both hot lines should be about 120 volts to neutral. Ground has nothing to do with it, other than that if there's a big potential difference between ground and neutral, you have a screwed-up electrical installation.
@ Wrong ! The potentioal from the hot to the ground is 120V.
I get 99 volts on leg 1 and 136 volts on leg 2 but get exactly 240 volts from leg to leg.I also have 22 volts when testing neutral to ground at receptacle. Any ideas of what's happening?
You have some issue here. The potential between the natural and the ground should be 0 unless you have a disconnection or load between the neutral and ground. Try to replace the breaker
If it does not work I suggest you will use certified electrician.
Thank you a ton for the upload, extremely helpful!
Thank You
so the red and black wire, doesnt matter which hole to put right? in the breaker
Yes, that is correct.
Does it matter if the red wire is on top of bottom screw?
No it does not matter.
Maybe can y repeat what is N and what is ground. The black wires those come from area 51 right. I don't have a main could it be in the truck?
I do not understand your question?
im sure some people trying it out didn’t live to put a comment out
My panel does not have a neutral bar. Should I tie the neutral wire to ground at the outlet or at the panel?
Yes you can.
@@josephk9182 yes I can WHAT? Either?
@@TheSilverlocks Only in the panel !!! you can tie the neutral to the ground .
@@josephk9182 Thank you,
@@TheSilverlocks Good luck
What Oteri wire would you use
I am not sure what was your question. I used 6/3 cable (50 Amps 600V)
Why are there so many neutral and ground double taps? There are plenty of connection points and it's against code to do this as well.
nothing against code.
יופי
Where can I get that breaker box?
200Amps Breaker Box = amzn.to/39fCk5X
comes with breaker also.
can i us 6/2 wire
You can’t always use Siemens or any particular brand. It has to be made for the panel.
The breaker built according to standard so you should be able to use diffrent breakers on diffrent board.
And im wondering why my electrician guy said i only needed 8 gauge wire instead of 6 gauge, for my 50 amp 240 volt welder hook up...... hmmm
If its a subpanel neutral and grounds have to be seperate.. not on main panel tho
This is the main panel !!!
@@josephk9182 No it isn’t. Your indooor panel is a sub panel. The primary disconnect outside is the main panel. In the outside panel, the neutrals and grounds would be bonded together. On a sub panel they are not bonded.
If you didn’t have a disconnect outside, your breaker box would be the main panel and the grounds and neutrals would be bonded together.
ok, I know this video is over two years old but I had a question anyways. anyone can answer for me if t hey know. my Sisters house. its an electric range circuit. it has a 50 amp breaker I wish to replace and the wire on this video appears to be the same size as the one on my sisters house. it is aluminum. the draw of the range is 47.9 amps when everything is on full blast. the wire appears to be the same size but also it might be 6 gauge aluminum. if it is 6 gauge double pole breaker, is this wire ok for the range? also, is the size of the wire you are using 4 gauge or 6 gauge copper?
6 gauge is perfectly correct. Remember the 50 Amps breaker will break the circuit when the effective current on the wire exceeds 50 Amps.
50amps wouldn’t that burn up the wire?
No. The wire is 6/3 designed for 50 Amps 600V
