Thank you for sharing. Great video and I like the taping of the wire nuts my dad showed me that back in the 60's. He would also add tape around the receptacle or switch. He said it was for added protection when you had to replace or upgrade. The ground up or neutrals up is the best safety advice you can give. Side cutters right, we know what they are called. Diagonal cutting pliers. Isn't that what you ask for on the job site. LOL. Keep up the great work and have a great day.
Lol might get arrested nowadays for half the names we had for tools! And your Dad obviously knew what he was doing by taping the receptacles is a very good practice! 1 wrap of Super33 electrical tape is good for 600volts. Glad you enjoyed thanks for the kind words!!
Sorry for the late reply, I dont actually have a picture but its just unistrut I welded into an L shape and bolted to the beam. You can also purchase "heavy L's" and do the same thing using spring nuts without needing to weld. Thanks for watching! I changed my comment settings so if you have any more questions feel free to ask
Yes they work great I've used them in the industrial field on really big cable where the aluminum is really thick. 250, 500 and 1000 MCM. Thanks for the comment!!
Great video up to almost the end. What edition of NEC is approved in your area? You would have to go way way back to not have GFCI receptacles required for the duplex 120 volt ones. If new code, you might be required to have GFCI on the 240 volt receptacle as well. If I may ask, how did you come up with utilizing a 90 ampere feeder?
Cost. It’s a lot cheaper to run #4 which in THHN/THWN is good for up to 95 amps. This shop is to used as a storage building with possibly one day having an inverter welding machine added “less than 50 amps” When working under a hold harmless in my area the requirements are pretty loose cause you sign away any liability to the city. “It’s on you”…sorry I ruined it for you at the end, I’ll try harder next time 👍🏼
Yes i've seen them in action they work really good! They didnt have such a thing back in the day we had to do by hand and most people cant afford something like that for a one time use so figured I'd show an alternate method...Thanks for watching!
@@DEATHROWCANALPRODUCTIONS. Article 225.30 requires you to install a means of disconnect at separate structures. Can be exterior safety switch, interior safety switch, or breaker. Maximum of six breakers. It looks as though you are at 6 or less.
@@KevinCoop1 I believe you are referring to NEC section 230.71 which pre 2020 “when this work was done” section 230.71 allows for up to 6 switches or sets of circuit breakers to serve as the main disconnect as long as all control devices were installed in a single enclosure or in separate enclosures as long as these enclosures were grouped together. The code allows for up to 6 throws of the hand to terminate power at an electrical service. In 2020 this changed which is why it’s important to check with your local code requirements also because those requirements also vary. Code for depth of a conduit in my area is 36” to top of the conduit which is not the requirements under NEC code book. This is why in the beginning of the video I stated to check with your code requirements for your area. Have a good day!
@@DEATHROWCANALPRODUCTIONS. A grounding electrode is required as you installed. It is also required to be tested and recorded to be 25 ohms of resistance or less. The exception is if you install two ground rods. No test, must install two.
@@KevinCoop1 the requirements in my area for a ground rod is to be 8’ in the ground with no more than 3” left above ground for inspection. If you would like I’ll make a video testing the resistance
Great explanation
Thank you for sharing your knowledge sir 👍🏻
No problem! I plan on doing plenty more DIY stuff eventually just doing a lot of fishing right now. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for keeping it simple
Sure thing
Can you share a picture of how you mounted panel please.
Great video! Exactly what I’ve been looking for.

Nice job..they make a tool for MC cable....rotor zip

An SDS rotary hammer with a driving bit puts those copper rods in the ground real fast.

You didnt need to add a disconnect to outside of metal building? To be up to code?
The service panel breaker serves as the disconnect, thanks for watching!

Where are your 2 grounding electrodes?
You asking about the ground rods? One is at the power panel at the house and the other I set at the shop panel in the video. Thanks for watching!!
