Hi Josh! Found your channel bc we were having lights flickering and appliances throughout the house not operating properly… my husband talked to an electrician in the neighborhood . He suggested a capacitor. I read through a lot of comments and watched your videos & decided we needed to contact the power company to take a look because I was concerned about a fire. He came out same day & tested the meter and sure enough he found the neutral needed to be replaced. He explained a lot of what you have said and also said if left the way it was there was a risk of fire. Thanks for your videos!!! B

Does the neutral from the cutting off breaker still have to be connected to the incoming neutral from the main panel

I need help I need to install a breaker to 75 feet of wire from breaker box to a shed, how many amp breaker do I need and what size wire, I won’t be going underground I will be putting wire inside a grey pvc pipe cemented so no moister can get it running it along side my wooden fence till I get to the shed I’d appreciate the help ty

It’s like if a calm Ted Nugent was an electrician. 😁 (Good info, thanks for the upload.)

Best advice I got so far. thank you. I'm dealing with the exact same thing with a new home and a dish washer that trips halfway through the cycle.

Very helpful.

Which wire should I use from my house main panel to my shed, is about 25 feet away from the house

great videos. having seen several fireballs over my 40 year career i highly recommend you wear an insulated carhardt rather than a nylon jacket.

Sounds like the son has experience on the marine side where it is common to do. It won't hurt anything.

You are to far ahead of yourself in your videos. Plus, im not sure if i understood. You said they used imc and energized the imc. Thus, not using a conductor. What the heck are you saying???? Further, if they did use imc was it not contiuous???? Something is amiss. Your the king of omission. Dennis the menace of electical.😂

Why don't you go up and under the eave and then down to disconnect to avoid water intrusion and potential damage?

well what happened . you just walked away with out explanation..

Damn pretty cool Theo Von is not just a comedian but also an electrician! 😂😂

Pound for pound that's the very informative video. One of the most informative video I've seen that's less than 2 seconds long, 🤣.. but seriously thanks for the info👍

Hi everyone, any chance for some help? What could cause the kitchen lights, that are on a circuit that has recently died to come on when I turn on the stove, a couple other circuits have died too, one only has 70 volts between hot to neutral , but between hot and ground it's 110, I've investigated a dropped neutral with a multimeter with the old style (Edison) fuse box opened up, and everything is checking out ok, I guess I do not know what the proper test is to find problem. I always use new insulated gloves, tools, and shoes. The two 60's(main) two 35's(stove) the two 20's(waterpump, Washer) and six 15 amp(rest of house) fuses are all good. Please help, Thank you.

Awesome video dude! Just found your channel. I had a customer that was having random voltage spikes at there house. Found an issue up at the transformer and called it in to the utility company they came and fixed it. Long story short customer called back lights flickering again and as I was testing their main lugs I was getting random voltage spikes up to 190 volts on a single leg. Utilities came back out and by the time they got there it was back to 120v. Any idea what could cause a voltage spike like that coming from the utility company?

Common misconception: "phase" = a hot leg. So how is both a 240V circuit & a 120V circuit "single phase"? Phase is a hot-to-hot connection. In single phase there is only one possibility, A-B. In 3-phase, AB, BC & CA (3 single phase options) are possible, that's the key.

I had to cut the threading off a rod and drill holes today! I don’t understand why HB has threading on all of their down rods when not all of their fans take the threading??

Running the seal tight like that for a sub panel feed looks awful

But, but how many staples did you use?

Thanks and greetings from Socal.

Hey bud I have a question and I know you said running 8 GA so I want your input honestly, I have my shed/man cave wired in 14GA and I want to trench power to it. It's 87 ft I am adding 10 to 15 ft each side so over 100ft what GA you think I should run and size amp breaker from my breaker box

No that's a NEMA 14-30 or 14-50.

Your email caption on the bottom of the video is in the way of the video. How did you secure the outlet boxes to the metal framing of the backsplash countertop?

I like a man that thinks ahead. Unfortunately energy is going to be free, very soon. Wires and meters were never necessary. Just a way to know how much to charge. Along with the control we allowed them to have. No what nesara gesara is, BRICS is changing everything. Know how to think. Not what to think. Worst think you could ever give any inspector, is a badge. I feel sorry for what electricians have gone through.

Just a small remo we aren’t doing much” lol I’m making a shirt!

When I hear "It was 75 yesterday and 15 and snowing today" I thought, huh, sounds like Colorado! Thanks for this video, trying to diagnose flickering in my house and have already gone through a bunch of stuff and still scratching my head. Something like a vacuum starting up on one circuit will cause lights to dim on a different circuit, even with "flicker free" LED bulbs.

2 prong receptacles must be replaced with gfci receptacles and labeled "not grounded" whenever new 2 prong receptacles are not available per code. Cheap house flippers won't spend the $10 even though the GFCI becomes a selling point, and all downline receptacles are protected as well. New code may want AFCI/GFCI combos now.

re run the power from the transformer to a new meter main and get rid if the original. feel sorry for the new home owner.

good stuff. nice catch.

great find. i had something similar. home owner tried to save money on DYI & didnt know why the breaker box was melting

What about when you hook a machine that says something like 120v, and all of a sudden where it’s connected-> the ligh doesn’t flow to that room.

Nice content

Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Hey bud I have a 23500 BTU ac window, just wondering what wire I should be using and breaker.. thank you

Yes but doesn’t the third law state that: A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the first or second law?

Hey I have a question about my lights flickering in parts of the house, the dryer was on but it is it normal for the main breaker in the panel be warm/ hot?

Pretty sure that gfci box is upside down lol

You did not even show how it was wired. From panel to terminal blocks then to the unit.

To be fair, LG should have made that internal wire be white, so the correct thing to do would have been a little more obvious. The wire needs to be moved from under the screw bonding it to the frame and attached to the neutral terminal (where the white wire ends from the cord). It has to be attached to the neutral, it can't be just left taped off, because the dryer likely has some 120v loads (timers and such). It is amazing to me that the outdoor service panel bus was left hot and unattended by the electrician while he went inside the house. I could see leaving the panel open for a few minutes if it was indoors with access to the area controlled, or if an adult was guarding it, but in this situation any curious neighborhood child able to reach that nice shiny bus could be killed. If I was the professional liability insurer and saw this video, I'd revoke the policy. This whole thing is just too much.

love your tester.....did you get it from amazon ??...lol

Thanks for this life saver video...thanks again for saving me this explanation over and over ..lol

Are handyman licensed in their field?

Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Good find

You da man Josh. (Un) Screw that screw!

So the solution is to get a different Keurig?

All brand new and it's messy a.f,and wagos on line voltage? Jeesh!

Heck yea should use anything but osb. Pvc is the best

i rarely do resi shit, and if i get up there and see that old ass insulation, i bail lol. aint worth the money to me, i HATE that shit
