Hey Ron, what are your thoughts on flipping the panel upside down so that main breaker is at the bottom. I know a lot of people have mixed feelings about doing that. I just don’t see it done enough with a lot of people. Great job as always, love the content.
Perfect way to end the weekend, another upload from Ron👌
you're da man BRO, always nice things to saY!
I really enjoy watching your videos especially the panel upgrade videos. In this video, I noticed that the surge protector is installed below one of the breakers. I have a Square D panel with an installed surge protector. Square D wants the surge protector installed in the top position in the panel. It's interesting that Cutler Hammer doesn't have the same requirement. Does it really matter where it's placed in the panel? Keep up the great work. I am really glad that you are back to publishing more frequently on UA-cam. Your is one of my favorite channels.
I "think" surge protector is to be installed as close to the main breaker as possible / practical.
If you were impressed by Edmonton before game six, oh man you should be really impressed by them now!
I love your videos Ron but I'm going to say you're supporting the wrong team. I think the Oilers are going to take the cup tonight in game 7.
Nonetheless, keep up the great content.
The home ice will be the difference. Florida will jump out to a 3-0 lead and hang on to win 3-2.
Thx for video. I enjoy watching all
Your panel upgrades. It doesn’t get old 😂
Good job Ron .curious,So that meter that was there was a 200 amps ? And how the you find out that the service was good for a 200 amp panel? Thanks
Amazing the ultility company has the ability to disconnect your power at a smart meter but can not install a $5 lockable lever to manually open meter relay contacts so customer had to spend mega bucks to have the NEC mandated outdoor service disconnect. Would never want my branch cirvuit breakers being outdoors nor would my senior citizen customers.Nice neat work. Nice to see you did not instsll another garbage ge jumk panel. Last two GE brand new panels I had to work on neithet door would open more then 75 degrees even after removing them.
Good to know. I thought you had to change the whole thing out. Thanks for the help
Hotest day I ever did a 100 amp setvice it was 104 degrees for an cheap ignorant cousin that me & my dad did not charge any labor. We asked het for a cup of water twice but ended up drinking warm water out if s gardrn hose. End of job we took off our work boots and sat on her chairs with our firty feetnin her kiddie pool. Following month dhe wanted us to vome over thst day to run a line to s window air conditioner. Told her we were nooked up gor restnog summer.
Great job Ron, You follow the code do the best job possible in the shortest amount of time and show respect for the customers property. Your videos are entertaining and hopefully keep a few do-it-your selfer's out of trouble.
Florida Fans congratulations. Overall good post. Thanks
Ron at it doing great work like to see it I watch all your videos and very much like them. Thank you. learn a lot to from u
How do you get away with no conduit on the SEU?
I like watching new installs but really respect seeing existing stuff and the upgrade process. Also really enjoy your discussion during the videos talking through what's happening for non-electrician people like me.
I’m glad you enjoy the videos. I never knew how much people would appreciate these videos.
I'm working on my deck down here in SC. It was 94, felt like 100. Absolutely brutal! I lasted 4 hours then went inside and took an ice cold shower. Waited for the sun to go behind the trees, worked another 30 minutes, came inside and took a 15 minute break, worked 30 and so on until it was too dark to work. It's supposed to be 95 the next 2 days then 97
My mom lives near Calabash, NC! When it gets too hot I need start earlier in the day.
You’re a beast man 👌💪 but the SURGE PRO should always be closest to the main breaker 😅
Not a requirement. Only Square D wants that and they won’t say why and I challenge you to provide a solid reason why it’s important other than 110.3(B).
Great video! One of the o key channels that shows the whole process. I’m over in Philly and the heat has been unreal. We’ve been in attics doing recessed lighting. Does NJ allow you to put the main at the bottom so you don’t have to run 4/0 from the bottom to the top? Or is that prohibited by that uniform code. We only have the 2017 NEC where I work
Main breaker can be at the bottom. Eaton designs their main breaker specifically for that reason.
Ron, once again great video and content. Best regards from Chicago ...
Have a great weekend Big D!
I watched this during Game 7 USA, USA, USA the trophy stays here MF'er's! Yes!
Hey you do a good job
Forgive me if you covered this in the past but can you explain your system for keeping track of the circuits, also which requires what breaker. Is it all by wire size? Do you label circuits or run around to see what turned on/off to relabel? It seems effortless for you and I could see getting bogged down in the bowl of spaghetti. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
My pleasure!
Persuade the panel into place-love that one. Great job Ron. 👍now game 7 tonight! Love my hockey also, unfortunately I’m a Rangers fan for too many years.
So you guys have worked out a loop hole where you just comeback in two trips. Here luckily if you do either you are installing that disconnect. Otherwise you never put them in I just call two companies every time
It was a great game. Congratulations to Florida, they finally pulled it off!!
When the 2023 code adoption hits you will have to install a disco for a panel change with the new note In 230.85. In north jersey some inspectors are requiring it already
The North Jersey inspectors? Rules apply to all of NJ, not just Bergen, Essex and Passaic counties. The Uniform Construction Code which supersedes the NEC does not require an exterior disconnect for panel changes. It's only on "full service upgrades" and spells it out clearly. There's a link to the UCC in the description of every video I post.
Would you havppen to know where that is in the UCC?@@electricianron_New_Jersey
One of the code reqs for home power systems (battery backups) when installed in the garage are required to have heat sensors installed that communicate with the homes smoke/carbon monoxide detectors.
@@TheTubejunky oh yeah? What’s the NFPA section?
I think it's actually part of the building code but the electrical inspector says the Building inspector isn't looking for that (or WON'T) so it's up to the electrical to cite it. Also the batteries when installed in the garage must have 3hr burn ratings on the drywall.
Not sure of the codes sections but this was from two different inspectors on the East Coast.
You can run SEC exposed like that into the bottom of the meter enclosure in Jersey?
also was surprised to see the SEC exposed outside of conduit. Wasn't aware that was permitted?
Look at the NEC. SEU is normal here in the northeast.
So that house always had a 200 amp meter can feeding a 100 amp panel? Is that common out your way?
All underground services in New Jersey are required to supply 200 amps. The load side can be 100 amps.
Oh ok, a little different than us up here in CT. That would definitely make some upgrades a lot easier.
Not a hockey guy, but I'll check out game 7, good work !
Man you're a beast! keep on grinding dude!
Is that a Kia EV9 in the thumbnail? Just got one - 48 amps is definitely a requirement for this huge 100kWh battery!
It might be.
Where did you connect or bond the ground?
Ron have you ever walked away from a service upgrade? Example , Where I live We still have a lot of active old cloth wiring still active in the walls or the Phelps/Dodge with the undersized 16 gauge ground twisted like a pretzel with 6 or more landed on the ground bar and brittle at the device location . People don’t always have the money for a complete rewire . I’m very cautious, once you touch it ,you own it .
Of course. There’s a lot of work I don’t ever want to do and I’m fortunate at this point in my career that I can choose who and what work I want to do.
Loving your videos! I’ve been out of the game for about 16 yrs, got IT working. Are you seeing a lot of work related to EVs? I currently drive a Tesla and they are everywhere down here in Tampa.
The whole year has been EV chargers and service upgrades. It’s a great time to be an electrician!
i want to be an apprentice
Look in the Description area of this video for the appropriate links.
Yep. Another mid-shift. No coffee yet. Nevertheless, a good video makes the shift go quicker!
That’s great! I love coffee too!
Cool trick with 2 by 4
Yup, it’s deadly hot here in Jersey Ron 🥵🥵🥵. Please be careful! 👍👍
Brutal. I stayed inside most of the day.
I was told that the ground bar only has grounds and the neutral wire goes only on that bar only ?
they are combined only at the first means of disconnect which in that case it is. if he would have installed a disconnect outside, they would only be combined in that disconnect. any subpanels after the main disconnect panel grounds and neutrals would be seperate
Ron always does great work
Great video. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching.
That is crazy how they ran your service drop inside that socket. I have never seen a crew run it backwards lol
Plus because of inductance we aren’t even supposed to cross the load side wires
Good job Ron........
do you ever show your videos in the classes you teach?
No. The students know about my channel though. We have a Dept of Labor approved curriculum.
Did you eliminate the extra panel on the left?
No. That wouldn’t make sense to do that.
How do you wire the surge protector that's in the panel. Or should I say what wires go to it. What's up Ron another good job.
This one was a plug on neutral. It connects directly to the bus bar to provide the protection.
🎉ok thankd@@electricianron_New_Jersey
