I just want to add one quick note. It looks like you are paralleling your main bonding in the gutter and disconnect. Also since your paralleling in the gutter, that equipment grounding ( green wire) going to the meter will have current.
Grounding and neutral bonding has always been confusing for me, since I always thought bonding of the neutral and ground must to be at only one place. Here the two are tied together at both the meter and also in the gutter under the two identical panels, with conduit bonding bushings tying all panels together, too. No matter, the whole thing is continuous. Other references I found described isolating the frame of the meter (grounded to neutral back to transformer) from the frame of the first panel (neutral and ground bonded together only there). Maybe it depends on the local electrical codes?
Your right it’s not confusing just because the job look nice it is not right that bounding in the gutter look wrong. The neutral should be in Polaris taps and the ground should only be on the ground bar in the gutter. But in reality everything is mechanically bounded.
@@joejoe6949 my local inspectors like to see it only in the wireway, its the first point of service and the neutral can be bare all the way to the main after that it has to be insulated.
I think you ground wire is set up for only 200 amp instead of 400 since you’re paralleling wires. In other words your ground wire should be for 400amps instead of 200
Thats going to building steel or metal waterline. Only need #6 to ground rods and #4 to ufer and only a single #3 for 400 amp service. In 45 years never had to run parallel grounding on a service.
You can leave them there and not have them in the panels or leave in panels, I leave in the trough because its the first accessible point of the service.
Hola Giovanni gracias por tus professionales videos muy limpio tu trabajo me podrias decir el nombre de este meter box que ocupas o como lo puedo encargar gracias
Hola como estás? Como se llaman en ingles las cajas que son más pequeñas y a donde van conectados los cables que dejaste en el gutter largo que está abajo ? Y por que solo llevas azul y negro ? Ese disconnect que llevas allí es 400a 3p?
De nada no te preocupes Gracias por Observar los vídeos De estado a estado los códigos de electricidad cambian pero por lo regular no mucho Además cuando haces las cosas bien raramente tienes problemas a la hora de inspección Ya tengo vídeos acerca de como cambiar un Main panel de una casa 🏠 pero sin duda puedo hacer otro con más especificación y lujo de detalles para que tengas/n una mejor idea o
Go to HD or Lowe's less than $1000 and a taco dinner especially if your close to the border lol just don't use the toaster and lights at the same time lmao rofl
This video answered a few questions for me regarding the ground and common from the 320 meter base to the disconnect. Thank you for posting!
why do you go to the Distribution Blocks instead of going straight to the Lug of the Primary side of the Can?
Why did you bug the leads in the wire way and no go directly into the disconnects?

Damn thats some clean ass work bro. 👍💯

You can only main bond 1 time at either the meter or main panel

Not enough cowbell!! I need more cowbell!
I wish Senor Vazquez would do instructional "how to" videos. This channel would blow up.

Nice catch minimum 1/0 in parallel

Thanks for the video, very informative! What is the meter socket model you are using? And what about the disconnect box model? Thank you!
Lindo trabajo y al amigo de la pregunt de los cables es para evitar user un cable muy grande se hace el calculo y se pueden poner en paralelo
Luis Gomez gracias 🙏🏽
Super 👌 trabajo saludos desde Zacatecas mx
Gracias 🙏🏽 Saludos igualmente
Appreciate u man!
Wouldn't it be less work to just buy the panel with the 2 disconnects built in? Just curious
Jose V. I agree!! It’s way cheaper to buy a combo right ? And 6 hours less🤦🏻♀️
Azul y negro me hace suponer que es sistema monofasico (singlephase) en Texas es black & Red ( left to Right)
Porque en la gutter box hizo splice los cables? Que no se pueden llegar del la salida del meter a cada panel?
Why did you use two wires out of the leads to connect to the power company hookup?
Two separate 200 amp boxes
Parallel feeders
Thanks for the video… Where did you get the ground bus in the trough? 6:16
🫡
Pause at 1:50... Yikes
1:51 nice going lol
Cuales son los colores para trifasica y que tension utilizan y adonde se utliza..gracias
I think you had to separate the ground and the neutrals from the trough
You can leave them there and not have them in the panels or leave in panels, I leave in the trough because its the first accessible point of the service.
I need ine of those disconnects, where can I find one?

En oregon
jhernan40 En cualquier Supply Electric ⚡️ lo puedes conseguir
Es una Meter Box de $400 amps
Ok perfecto muchas gracias

Polaris
Hola buen trabajo tengo una pregunta que numero debe ser el cable para el tierra en 320 amp y 400 amp
FILOSOFICONERD 1 Muchas gracias 🙏🏽 Debe de ser número 2 para la tierra
Que
Cable le pusisteis? Para 200 o 400? Creo que sería para 400 ya es el alambrado es paralelo?
hola jovani una pregunta cuantas ground rods necesito en un servicio de 400 amp con 2 disconnects uno De 100 y el otro De 200.?
leni esparza
Hola leni esparza nesesitas 2 ground rods
Or one 3/4 by 10ft ground rod
Using #1 THHN for your ground wire
Your bonding and grounding practices are incorrect.
Thank you Lucero
Whay blue when is 120/240. ?
Didn't have any red or white tape been there myself lol
At least put the blue on B phase.
annoying music
Yovany ablas español podrias explicar Como se pone una mas panel para una casa
Euriel Carmona Si claro en cuanto pueda yo ago un vídeo sobre cómo poner un panel
En donde Radicas.?
@@giovannyvazquez3652 kise decir un main panel para una casa o cambiar la caja vieja x una nueva radico en Washington

Is nat correct
You not supposed to use impact screw gun to tide dos log ...you have to use a torque wrench
How much does it cost for upgrade 400 amps?
Kristian Q
It depends
Kristian Q
I have to see the job so I can give you price
$5000.00
$5,000-$5,800
