Ryan I have 2 kitchen counter tops..I will wire a 20 amp circuit for these 2 counter tops..question is knowing I'm only putting 2 outlets..Am I required to split the 2 outlets up..or am I ok to put 2 outlets adjacent to each other or stagger or alternate one of each circuit..thks

You should make a video showing a 2 phase system that has 4 pole circuit breakers! It's a very old system and almost not used anywhere anymore, but if you connect a 4 pole breaker on the wrong slots in a 5 wire, 240v 2 phase panel, what you end up with is only 170 volts instead of 240, and motors don't like 170v. I heard of a story where someone burned up a motor like that in a pretty expensive Bridgeport mill, and trying to find a replacement 2 phase motor is like looking for a unicorn. The 170 volts is from the phases are 90 degrees apart so you multiply 120v by square root of 2, rather than sqrt(3).

Isolated ground receptacles definitely do something, it's just useless now because EEs have gotten really good at developing power supplies with isolation, noise filtering, and rejection. "Ground" on a circuit board is no longer a literal connection to the equipment grounding conductor, so there's no way for noise to cause trouble anymore 👍

What's the point of even running a grounding conductor if it's not even meant to provide a fault current back to the source? Also I am assuming the only way this could work is if the metal enclosure that your LIM transformer is in is not bonded to your main disconnect.

I confused, At beginning of video you the plant goes through 5 million pounds of coal. Below that you say (1.2 million pounds hour) if you times 1,200,000 x 24 hrs. X 365 days = 10,512,000,000 pounds for the year. But: 5,000,000 divide 365 days divide 24 hrs. = 571 pounds per hour. Would be a better answer. But still a great video and tour!

Hi Ryan. Your vids are great and appreciate all your hard work bringing information. I would like to comment on interconnect devices. I have been an electrician for over 40-years. While NM interconnect devices may be permitted, I personally do not like them. Approved or otherwise, concealing splices is never a good idea. These devices can become a default or lazy man's way of doing things. With that said, I understand their use in manufactured housing, or when properly made could see their application in a last resort repair situation. However, I would exhaust every way of not making a concealed splice first. Just my humble take on things, others may certainly disagree. Thanks.

Enjoyed this vid. Thanks for posting. While PVC has its applications, electricians are forgetting or not being trained on running steel conduit, especially RMC. It drives me nuts when I see PVC run all over the place when EMT, IMC or RMC should have been used. IMHO, I think much of this is just plain laziness and lack of pride in workmanship which, is another thing young electricians are not being taught.

This is first time I have heard that a "non-required" outlet *may* be below the countertop or work surface. By removing the requirement from the 2020 code for outlets, they left it open season for abuse. Personally that is exactly where I plan to put it. I don't want an obstrusive outlet on my countertop. I have no children, and functionality is more important to me. If a future home owner wants to remove it, or inactivate it, fine.

I beg to differ, high legs are not a trap they're just an indicator that it's time to change gears... slow down and pay attention to what you're doing, that's all. They can actually have some cool applications. [TLDR: the rest is just story time about the only time I ever really dealt with a high leg system when I was an apprentice under my dad. We installed the system in a rich guys machine shop. It was fun. I was an unfocused kid. 20 yrs later, I'm impressed with how much I remember of it.] (I'm too lazy to proofread it or break it into paragraphs, sorry.) When I was first doing my apprenticeship, my dad was my mentor, and we landed a 400a residential service for a well to do guy with a machine shop in his backyard, and we put a rotary phase converter then a delta to high leg delta transformer in the shop it was a pretty cool experience. We labled the inside of every box in that shop even if no high leg was carried to it just in case in the future someone pulled a high leg in cuz dad thought the guy migh rearrange his shop at some point. It was a really neat setup. The 3 phase pannel had it's own seperat boding and ground and it was locked out such that you couldn't turn anything on until the phase converter was turned on so that it never started with a load on it. I didn't understan much of what was going on but I was learning a lot really fast. Now I know that there was a lot of unusual things going on there, like the phase converter perduced all 3 phases not just on extra phase so that the phases were 120° without any fancy syncing mechanisms and it was it's own isolated service system. Basically it was two giant motors, one bigger than the other in a pedestal mounted cabinet just outside the shop, that fed his custom transformer (also pedestal mounted cabinet just outside of the shop next to the phase converter) that ran to an external disconect then to an internal pannel. We labled the pannel, then on top of field marking the high leg and marking the pannel on the outer cover inner cover and inside the panel itself we also put a printed lable on the high leg, and next to every high leg breaker slot on the panel cover even if we didn't break out that slot cover and put a printed lable on all the High legs in boxes that we actually used. We ran grounding conductors throughout and bonded all the conduit and boxes with bonging wires and bonding fittings/connectors. With how much precaution dad was using I'm surprised we didn't used ridgid (probably cuz dad didn't wanna buy a threader if I had to guess)... honestly I think the guy said something to Dad that made him scared that the guy didn't really understand electricity, and so dad was just being super extra. Plus the guy said the shop was his baby and money was no object, he wants it really nice so... I'm actually proud of myself that I remembered all that... I was like 19 and didn't understand half of it and didn't really care it was more focused on girls... now I'm in my mid 40's and thinking _wow, I picked up on more than I realized..._

Yeah it really happened to me when I was 20 years old and they needed my help to setup all for lighting and plug outlets from 3 phase breaker panel. They informed me that a few light bulbs were out really quickly and i was really confused because i thought it was 120/208 volt until I noticed that an orange tape in middle of wire (phaseB) on top of 200 amp main breaker, so I checked the operation manual on the back of the breaker panel and realized that was a delta high leg panel! So I had to change any breaker proper way and not even single breaker touched the high leg...🙄🙄🙄🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

I'm still confused. At first you say that the new 2023 code now does not require any outlets in a kitchen island or peninsula, they are optional. Then later on, you state that an outlet can in fact be located below the countertop level if it is not a required outlet, rather, an optional one. That would make any outlet on the island or peninsula fine to install below counter top level as they are all, according to what you said, optional. Everywhere else I am reading they are interpreting the code to say that even "optional" outlets must be above counter top level since they all are optional in that location.
