Great Video JB. I'm an electrician in the UK looking to move to Canada so it's great to see how things are done over there. Definitely slightly different to how we do things here in the UK.
Am I right in thinking you operate in 120V?
Thank you really enjoyed doing it very rewarding. Yes our normal Voltage is 120v. Also have 240v for large appliances and welders. Hope you moves.goes well if coming to Canada my grandfather was from Scotland still have family there. Would love to visit one day.
Thank you! I'll keep you posted. I've been round most of the Highlands of Scotland it's truely a beautiful place
I saw you ran 3 or 4 12/2 or 14/2 cables in same route. If the length is more than 60cm then derating factor 0.8 or 0.7 applies which means 12/2 cable ampacity becomes 20×0.7=14 Amps not 20.
Really good knowledge you have.
I'm noticing that there is a code violation on your boxes. There needs to be a bit of extra wire (can't recall but it's about a fist loop worth) outside each box for future service/repair, where it looks like your going straight into the box. If you ever need to cut the wire inside the box, there needs to be some extra to pull into the box without having to rerun a new line. Otherwise it looks like a pretty good job from what I see.
@God Trojan Yup just pulled out my old 2012 code book and it's there. 12-510(4). That's exactly the rule I was talking about in the CEC. Thanks for finding and mentioning. It has a triangle on it too so it would have been implemented for that year as a "new" rule.
hi, great video, are you not required to put drill plates when piercing a stud with electrical wires?
All I could find in reference was that it had to be minimum 5/8" from face of the stud. I was then able to insulate and vapour barrier after this inspection was done. This video was after my passed rough in.
The next visit was to check the outlets wired up and finished and covered siding was on and all after insulation inspection as well.
good job
Thank you !
The wire arrangement is almost correct
But there are some flaws, it seems to get rid of the work
The receptacle by the panel is a 15 amp receptacle on a 20 amp breaker ? Not code 😕
Honestly I did not check the receptacle after he installed it. He said it was 20amp receptacle. I found it weird it not being the same as the ones I purchased. The inspector came separately from my work to approve that.
Did you need to insulate the hot black wires ends in your main panel for the inspection or just keep them away from the breakers
I live in Ontario and cannot find that in the guide to the code book
If you referring to the Merits i put on the Hot wires in panel. If so I do not think it was code. I just did it for my own peace of mind. My panel was already hot with one breaker and outlet installed by the electrician who installed my panel and the overhead mast. I just wanted to be safe.
With the rough in inspection the only thing I read was the wires needed to be terminated at recepticle boxes with grounds connected within every box. Thanks for the Comment and view 👍
Ok thanks, I couldn’t see them in the video. I think I’ll put some on temporarily as well then
Hello sir, where do you live? Just want to confirm these codes are relevant to Alberta. Thank you
Ontario not sure if code in alberta is consistent sorry.
Timmies cup!
Where is the switch button? On the other hand, work in Canada is easier than in Saudi Arabia.
Hlo sir i am from India and i also electrician and i have 8 year experience I want come to Canada
How can i apply as an electrician in canada?
Sorry I am not an electrician I am a Automotive Technician I just did my own wiring for my shop I built. But like becoming an Automotive Technician you have to apply to be an Apprentice at a company it is a very in high deman field as most trades are in Canada at this time. You will have to attend trade school where you go to school while working or challenge the Red Seal Test. Best of luck
