HOW TO USE AN OHM'S LAW CIRCLE CHART
Since it is 240v shouldn't you use 10/2 Romex????? Asking for a friend...
@@richinman7774 that depends on the amperage size of the equipment. If the amprage size of the equipment is 20 amps or less, you can use size 12 romax.
Nice video but if it was 120v. How would that wire to the box.
Should wrap your white wire with some red tape to signify 240. I think that’s code.
@parkerjohnson5420 yes. That is true. Thank you.
Birds in cars?!?!😱
Gotta be a fuse or something I hope 😭. So I have 7-8 outlets all reading Open Hot top & bottom except One of the outlets the bottom one works but the top one stopped working as well last year open hot. Trips everytime I plug my computer or treadmill up in bedroom too…..wanna throw the whole breaker away outdoor outlets dead too smh
Outstanding video, so much covered in a clear and straight forward manner. Thank you, sir.
Can I use this on a 20amp breaker double pole 12k btu with a 10/2 bcoz my service panel is about 30ft distance. Or should I I use the fused kind.
You can use this one in the video or you can use the fuse dis connect. Either will be fine.
@@rickyjewett6082 can I use the 30amp fuse disconnect with a 15amp fuse bcoz that what it says on the nameplate of my mini split unit
When i tighten down the screw, it doesn't hold fit the wire. The wire still pops out. Any tips how to deal with it 8:44
But I’m still not understanding why we divide the circuit number by 6? Someone please help
So for a 120 v where do I put the neutral wire on each side ?
Great video! Thanks for sharing this.
Can a quick disconnect be installed inside for a mini split AC unit ?
Excellent video! Thanks, I'm ready to do it.
good lesson!
Fantastic video. I've watched like 10 videos on the same thing and learned nothing until this one.
Thank you.
Hell yeah brother 👍
Ricky should be an instructor at a trade school. Very clear instructions.
Thank you so much.
Thank you. Liked and subscribed. I look forward to watching more of your videos
thank you for this information
Good video man
Thx boss man. I should turn off the breaker switch first, right?
Thank you very much
I have a older house that use old breaker box that use fuses my dryer cord is not pulling enough voltage im getting a code 9c1. Do i install a new plug or is it the breaker box?
It could be a fuse blown in your box Also could be your outlet. I would suggest that you change out and install a new plug.
Thanks brother.
Thank you sir!
You are welcome.
This is the only video that explained it to where I understand the line and the load, and 240 vs. 120 and where everything should land properly and to read the directions of course. Thank you.
Thank you.
God bless your heart Ricky what a perfect demonstration and now i know my landlord sabotaged me. 🕊️ The truth shall set you free and you just did. I hope something wonderful happens to you for helping me 🌹
Nice refresher training video for a old man that hasn't done one in a long time. Thanks
Thank you so much for doing this video. You're a life saver.
The bare copper wire should be wired to the silver base of outlet with a clip for this type of outlet.
What if you have black,white,and ground could still hook it up?
Yes you can. Use the white as a hot wire, use the black as a hot wire, and use your ground as your neutral wire. So put the black under one of the hot screws, put the white under the other hot screw and put the ground where the neutral would go.
Thank you. This help me a lot!
The Romex feeder on your condensing unit needs to be protected. This video is wrong in so many ways. 😂
This video demonstrates exactly why it's important to have a licensed technician perform this work. This bloke has no idea what the hell he's talking about.
12 Gauge wire for a residential cooling system??? Let's all pray for this customer...
Is there no grounding terminal on these plugs?
No, there is no ground terminal on this plug. The dryer will be grounded through the neutral wire.
This video was so helpful thank you did tons of research and couldn't find a single one this actully worked and went well so far
Thanks
What I *don't* get is why the single pin of the receptacle goes in the lowest position when the plug on the power cable will have it at the apex of the triangle opposite where the cord is attached, making the plug need to be inserted "upside down". Also, with the two pins at the top, any cross-pin contact while pulling or inserting the plug is a 220 v experience, when it would be half that if the neutral was at the top. It makes no sense to me. Just installed one of these and came looking to double check I had it "right".
This video is exactly why people can't assume that everything on UA-cam is correct! What in the world 😮
The ground being just chillen in the box makes me nervous.. is it really ok to do? I live in a trailer and am terrified of doing it wrong
It is totally OK to just leave the ground in the box. Be sure to push it to the back of the box. It OK. It's safe.
Thanks so much for your videos
That was extremely informative.thank so much
Great explanation
very good video mi frend hallo from mexico
I didn’t know you can run 240 V through a 12/2 wire.
You can use 12-2. If depends on the size of the A. C. Unit. If the unit is small and operates at 20 amps or less, 12 -2 can be used.
I am using 10/2 with ground (3 wires) coming in from the panel box (line side.) Do I have to have three wires plus ground coming in on the line side? Hope this makes sense.
Not necessarily. You can have 2 wires or 3 wires. It depends on the equipment you are disconnecting. If the equipment is rated for 240volts you will have 2 wires.
Stright to the point, no biscuits 😊
My 10/2 only has black, white and the ground wire. Can I use the bare on the "w" "L" shaped and the white and black on the other two places?
Yes use the bare copper as your neutral. Land the bare copper where you will normally land your neutral. The neutral land on the L shape. The black and the white will be your hots in the panel.
@@rickyjewett6082 I will do this today, thanks for your help.
@@rickyjewett6082 Got it, thanks
This really helped me. I will install my 10-30R Hubbell tomorrow.
As a woman who learns by visual explanation. This video was very thorough and informative. And thank you for creating all scenarios presented on the tester.
You are so welcome.
