How to install an electrical outlet on a power pedestal.

This is an older video of mine that I've taken down from another one of my UA-cam channels and re-posted to this channel. Nothing in the video has been changed from the original posting.
I just demonstrate how I added an outlet to the power pedestal outside my old home.
I AM NOT AN ELECTRICIAN! PLEASE CONSULT YOUR LOCAL AUTHORITIES FOR PROPER CODES, AND PROCEDURES BEFORE ATTEMPTING THIS YOURSELF!!! I IN NO WAY AM MAKING CLAIM THAT THIS IS THE CORRECT WAY TO DO THIS PROJECT. I AM JUST DEMONSTRATING HOW I DID IT AND WHAT WORKED FOR ME. YOUR PANEL MAY BE DIFFERENT AND YOUR LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODE MAY REQUIRE OTHER METHODS.

Good Video, Useful Information. I would add direct in the title, "HOT HOT HOT" in other words, you were prudent in metioning the panel is always HOT and you have the 200AMP in OFF Position. Safety wise for all levels of knowledge, people need to know "HOT / CALIENTE." All major hardware stores and electrical supply houses are very good about ratings and weather proofing of periferals. The rest is, "take your time and don't do anything boneheaded." Also, a pedistal is powerful enough to cause dangerious "leakage." Hence, you would not be foolish to wear electrically rated gloves and boots during all work on a pedistal of near a pole. EVEN WHEN THE MAIN BREAKER IS OFF! Another recommendation is to have all your wire and periferals readied away and before you are near the pedistal for connections. Again, this is due to leakage. Leakage is somewhat rare however does occure, especially in damp weather and situations where grounding is difficult (rocky and unstable platforms). Again I am being hyper cautious, however UA-cam is for the general layperson, hence the common denominator demands, "the very most conservative" methodology. Thanks! GOOD VIDEO! MarkMannM2

Several more code violations. Regular Romex not rated for wet locations, box must be secured, and metallic box must be bonded to ground with pigtail to outlet. Outdoor in a raceway is still considered a wet location. GFCI doesn't need to be rated 20 amps with duplex receptical and should be weather resistant and tamper resistant, the only need for 20 amp would be if equipment pluged in has a 20 amp plug. Other than that, looks good, I'll gave you an A for effort.

Codes? Who needs Codes. Not me. Lol.
