Plyer is not a Hammer 🔨
Black to brass, white to white..... easiest way to remember tbh
Thanks!!
why do we need to install ground line on service meter
You can't do that! The wire from the meter to the panel has to be in a sheath. It's called service entrance cable. It will have all the conductors you need plus the ground conductor .
What all these videos fail to mention is that The Panels have to be compatible to these types of Breakers..You just can't randomly I stall these Breakers in any old panle
Mountain dew
You are supposed to put white tape or paint on the neutral wire before you install it .
The neutral should have been marked with white tape and one line should be marked with red tape remember black red blue but you don’t need the blue
That meter pan looks like it’s too high did you check local code hopefully the inspector okays it but the electrical company will say It too high and they won’t connect the power
It's too high. Shouldn't be more than 6ft6in from grade to center of meter. Your electricity supplier will have a spec. Those short meter reader girls don't carry a ladder with them.
No body cares if things are right anymore. As long as it works. We don't need no stinking codes.
How fo you get away without having s main disconnect underneath or next to your meter,?
Is this guy for real ?
Great, that's all I need. Simple video showing how to wire plug on neutral breakers. Thanks, prefect.
What wire is he using that moves so freely?
Couldn't tell for sure but he said 2/0, but didn't specify THHW or THHN? Individual and not in a cable.
Thank you for this demonstration, very helpful!
What name is the stone? Great job love the look!!!
Does it matter which hot goes on which side?
Great video. Thanks.
Nice work. Did the inspector make you identify (mark) your conductors and NoLox your connections?
Can usually use a plastic bag tied to a string and a shop vac to suck the pull string through once you have all the conduit connected. Do that across LARGE buildings.
hey that conduit from meter box into wall did you glue that?
Looks like he screwed it on with the nut
I work for the place that make the meters 😅
Thanks for sharing.
Where did you learn how to do this job? I have seen a ground wire connection to the panel box or to the meter base but, I have not seen the ground connected to both which is the best way to do it. Excellent job ! I think the number 4 wire is much better than the number 6 wire because, if you ever get hit by lightening, the number 4 wire can handle the load better and take the lightening hit to the grounding rods.
Where do all the grounds land?
u only need #6 bare for ground rod
he kept saying #4 but that looks like #6 wire. Also not sure why he's bonding inside the meter AND the panel. Code says one or the other, depending on where the main breaker is.
Ah
that color you’re looking for it’s not gold or copper but brass
And shave your beard please!
Just came here because I just returned my Ditch witch to home depot after a failure getting it up my hill. It nearly flipped sideways, went down into the ditch. I had to chain up my truck to pull it out, then jack up one side, move it a short distance, Jack it up again. What a mess
I had alot of trouble to it would have been nice if it was on tracks

2/0 is rated 83 percent of 200 amps it is an exception to 310.15 for single family homes. Since the 2/0 is already reduced in size the 1/0 neutral would require a load calculation to be code compliant. The grounding electrode conductor must attach to the neutral, neutral termination bar at any accessible location ahead of the main, key word “accessible” once the meter is sealed by the utility… another violation 250.24 where is the raceway (Conduit) between the meter and service panel?

Although a DIY installation like this may or may not instantly burst into flames, this work is best done by an electrician. Here's why: - I have never in my life "forgot" that my wire wasn't in conduit until after installed. We don't even touch our wire until the conduit is finished. This is obviously a first time installation attempt. Why are we running conduit in a wall cavity anyway? This is why they make SEU cable. -Unfused service conductors must run the shortest possible distance through the structure to your panel. In other words, the meter socket should be closer to the panel or the service conductors from meter to panel should be ran outdoors. Or you would need a main breaker outside and 4 wires to your indoor MLO, etc. -Also, #6 copper to your ground rods, #4 to your water pipes not the other way around. Please do NOT bond your GEC to the meter can and then to your main breaker panel as well.
Hello, is the price of electricity expensive in America, and the hot regions, how are they treated in terms of consumption value compared to regions with less heat and beautiful weather in the summer, thank you.
No it not to expensive but it has went up the last year
@@mountainliving8208 What is the average electricity bill between hot and cold regions? By numbers please. How much is the average monthly worker in the USA? Janitors how much they are monthly. Is it really up to $10,000. Will the electric bill be about $300 or more, thank you. Who is the category that suffers from paying its dues of electricity, gas and water. Thank you
As a Licensed Septic Professional with over 20 years of experience, I can tell you that you don't want any 90 degree turns or bends in the Inlet Pipe to the Septic Tank. In other words, it should be as straight as possible, but if absolutely necessary a 45 degree elbow isn't terrible... not ideal, but it'll work. This homeowner actually makes a comment about "passing inspection" which I assume means he's aware this is not how it should be done. Nevertheless, another concern is all the fill material and the retaining wall, because this guy plans on raising the elevation of the yard next the house, which I don't recommend, because if he ever needs to get to that pipe, he's screwed!
Thank you for sharing.
Nice work!
Thanks
Thanks
Thanks
Just found your channel. I started building my house about a month ago here in the North Carolina mountains and can't wait until I'm at this stage. Thanks for posting. Subd
Thank you it taken a little time because of work but it coming best of luck with your build
You don't need to break off the neutral side as long as they are on the same circuit.
Rag tied to end of string and a shop vac will suck it right through there after it’s all glued together
Wire isn’t in a conduit.
I dont know what I was thinking at the time but I did do it the next day I just didn't video it
What were you working off of to knock the lug out of the meter can? Looked like your ac unit, how bad did you scrap the top of your ac unit?
It was and I didn't scratch it
He needs to know how's ground rod works. If he knew he would not place it that close to the house. Ish. Master Electrician
Can you explain why? I'm curious.
@@djaztec97 ... the idea of a ground rod is to make contact with the earth. If you are up against the foundation you get less contact. Usually they are placed at least a foot out. If you have footing drains you will want to avoid them as well.... so maybe 2 feet out for the rods.
Thanks for the video, I am interested in your opinion, now that you have completed installing the product. What are the pros and cons with this product and if you would have done anything differently with what you know now.
I love it we are going to put some in the bathroom also I cant say anything bad about it as of now
Nice job, what kind of siding stones are you uses?
Versatia stone
Thanks it very easy to put up it kind pricey but good I think it was $55 for a pack of 2 there 8" tall 36" long
I’m glad I’m not the only one who forgets to put the tag on it. ;) BTW, thank you for showing how to wire to these new breakers…. I don’t know how many videos I watched of people installing the plug-on breakers, but didn’t include the wiring.
Thanks
