Switchable outlet,with the switch hidden..aybe

I was at a customer house discussing what type of lights she wanted.. her comment to me was “anything but boob lights” I almost cried .. that’s what I installed in parts of my place

It’s funny how many think the white wire is never energized 🍻

🤔 im a ahole in RL , not going to silence my freedom of speech to protect someone’s feelings. Although certainly NO sense in being a bully, but if I hear something that’s not correct I have no problem spending time calling them out. There’s an abundance of misinformation on KZbin! Steve, I’d “troll” you if I could, but I can’t! Only trolls can be trolled!

Once I bond my neutral and ground at the main panel why does code make me separate them from neutral bar and ground bar?

Don't hold back perspective observation of etiquette and ethics. For some, they need a little bit of pushback in reality, especially when speaking outwardly intrusive thoughts of ($ PAYING $) customer dwellings, fixtures, colors, styles, etc. ESPECIALLY as a Professional Skilled Trades Representative for YOUR Employer and Your Craft. Pay attention to the house making sure your shoes or your boots are not dirty(use wraps) Make sure to pay attention walking around the household so you don't bump something or knock something off the shelf or wall. Don't let the Household Pets out when using doors, leave the residence as Good or Better when your project is finished. OBTW.... make sure to at least use proper deodorant and possibly breath bits or gum doesn't hurt either. Customers are for all intents and purposes your Kings and Queens. 🫠 😊 🤙

Can you explain me? What happened if I lose the neutral in a house I really want to understand this. I lose a neutral in my house and everything burn out. Can you help me to understand this thank you.

Both dryers and ranges are going to trip those breakers with no faults, the people putting this into code would fail day one electronics.

hey sparky

I want to see more loops😂

One thing i learned while in school with 3 ways is that no matter how many 3 ways you have and how many 4 ways you have in the middle it always ends in a 3 way (starts with a 3 way, ends in a 3 way) 👍

240 / 2 = 120!!!!!!!! It's simple math!

How do you explain it on a 20 amp circuit that doesn’t cross into any lights only receptacles?

Have this same setup on a dedicated circuit 20a 12/3 on a gfci for my washer. How does one repair this mess?

It’s like the loop around Dallas.

So let’s say you ran a 3 wire to let’s say a Hot water heater, you hooked up the Black and Red Wires but you only hooked up the neutral to the panel on the Bus bar could that be dangerous?

😧WTF?

Wrong

You see multiwire branch circuits a lot in 277V lighting circuits. Open a neutral and you’ll get a big surprise!

Great subject and presentation. I understood what you were getting at, but your bench display at the end was really a nice touch. Thank you!! from an apprentice ;)

Great demonstration, I actually guessed mixed neutral in switch box before watching second video. I’ve been doing residential for a long time and multi gang switch boxes are where multiple circuits are in the same box. I’ve also had to correct swapped neutrals in j boxes where all 20 were wrong. Basically this is a back feed hazard via the neutral. You can also have back feed on a hot when two circuits have been tied together mistakenly although this usually reveals itself. Both are shock hazard for the next person’s doing any work. Im an American electrician but incidentally in the UK they use ring circuits which actually return to source intentionally.

If it’s that old stuff house will burn down without it. And if used correctly it won’t hurt new stuff. It’s rough watching wire melt from box to weather head.

And every driver on the road is a potential drunk driver, drive accordingly.

I'll be forgetting about aluminum

Hi can you make a video on the correct way for 15 amp receptacle/ 20 amp receptacle on a 20 amp circuit ?

Good voice-over.

shared neutral not on a 2 pole breaker. easy peasy

Good work like to see it

220, 221 whatever it takes.

In 2023 my inspector called out my dryer, which he would not sign off until I screen shot him a screenshot of a new GFI breaker on a new dryer home run.

I don't know much about electricity, but I do know that 120 is the norm... and that beard is rockin' my friend. Nice lines and good trim.

Doesn't matter what anyone thinks or is ordered to think, it all depends on your service from the right of way zone. Some people measure 118v, some people measure 120v some people even measure 110v. record the proper measurements, SFTU and move on, stop upselling and stealing money from the customer how about starting with that asshat. This is not directed at the page owner but rather all contractor's

Great and now this makes sense, how the F does three phase work?

ty for making these, helpful context

in my jurisdiction, the arc requees replacement of the cable

Looks great. Glad I have a gad water heater though.

Still widely used when I was growing up in the trade.

the same "bullies" that talk shit online are cowards in person. they are miserable pricks, insecure haters who dont talk like that when they're face to face with someone. bunch of little bitc***

Is Romex allowed?

Why aluminum?

Can you be hit of a neutral?

At this point why don’t they put a whole house gfci

KY hasn’t adopted this yet, for ranges and dryers, it til at least 2026

I don't care what the fireman's NEC code says.... White is not, and never has been NEUTRAL. It is RETURN. ALL circuits are circles. What goes around, comes around. If current goes in, it must come out somewhere. White is simply the return circuit for the black hot line. We should stop calling it anything other than RETURN. Calling it neutral gives a false sense of security. (and yes, NEC is a fire code.... look it up. It is written by the NFPA, National Fire Protection Association)

Reminds me of when I bought my house and immediately had to change out an old Federal Pacific panel.. freaking mess!

What’s the harm in using Noalox? Why not go the extra mile for the integrity of the job. Unless there is substantial proof that it makes the connection worse off? I’ve seen aluminum in a salt water environment where it was completely corroded.

14 awg wire!? 🤔🤢🤮

Found you. To badTikTok is done with I guess hope TRUMP fixes it.

As always, thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Yes sir you explained it right.
