100 AMP PANEL UPGRADE W/ GROUNDING AND BONDING UPDATE

[@supercooldude824]

As a young guy getting into this field and learning everything I can about electrical your videos help me so much especially these detailed videos with the code articles and tips in them. Thank you so much pls continue this you may not realize but it’s a big help for me and I’m sure most others God bless you man ❤️

@@supercooldude824 I never get tired of reading comments like this. I’m so happy to give back to the industry.

Most of our new construction here uses a heavy plastic for the water main and most plumbers are changing over to PEX tubing, so the 2 ground rods driven is the only equipment grounding source. We are required to bond the gas service and any SSCT in the home. Great video however! Thank You for sharing.

@@jamescollins8148 The ground rods make up the system grounding, not the equipment grounding.

I'm not an electrician, but I have worked around a couple. Part of me wishes I'd looked at it for a career, it's enjoyable. (I'm sure there are things that aren't great, like all jobs). I really appreciate the focus on the NEC and explanations. Sometimes figuring out what they mean / their intent isn't clear.

Great video, the code commentary makes me feel like I'm watching Mike Holt training videos but in real world scenarios. If you ever do take an apprentice they would be lucky to learn from someone so detail orientated like you.

Hey Ron. Another great episode. The bonding and grounding tutorial you added was really valuable. I bet a lot people watching don't appreciate how much additional time you spend editing your raw footage. Besides being a class-act electrician you're also a damn good editor! Keel em comin, Ron. Thanks again for your time!!!

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

I just try to make each video better than the last one. It does take time too, you are definitely right about that!

[@GlenMacNeil]

Another great job Ron. Always enjoy watching your panel upgrades.

[@gardenjohn1]

New Jersey has a great electrician !!

[@jacksmith827]

looking good so far!

[@benthomas3418]

I came across the same thing on a stove cct the other month. Great job Ron love watching what you get into south of the boarder.

[@carbongrip2108]

I thought it was best practice to install the surge protection devices as close to the main breaker as possible. I do believe this is stated in some manufacturers install instructions of SPDs. 🤔

[@brianbeasley7270]

Nice work as usual and love the professional labeling.

[@vince6829]

Great job as usual. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@rodolfovesga979]

Cool video Ron!

[@mattschoular8844]

Nice work, Ron. Keep up the great content

[@tonydelgrego2906]

Nice professional upgrade. Did you use arc fault breakers.

[@dennishamilton772]

Nice Neat Job Roin. Passed my inspection:)

[@davidmarquardt9034]

Boy, their was no doubt that breaker was gone, it looked like charcoal. Also that disconnect on the old panel was in upside down, you had to push it up into the "OFF" position. As the black you tube home inspector from Texas would say, "That ain't right".

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

@@davidmarquardt9034 Gold Star ⭐️ Inspections! Love that channel! That ain’t right!

Saw this earlier? Re-upload?

[@TheTubejunky]

Morning Ron, Question: Have you ever had an inspector require you to bond before and after that main incoming water valve? I know it's within the first 5ft of entrance to the dwelling but curious about before the valve as we're always told to do so.

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

Nowadays, if I'm there to meet the inspector I won't take any "this is the way we do it here" sort of nonsense. I don't have time for that and I won't put up with that either. If the inspector is unsure but is telling me to do something that I know either isn't required or is just not right, I will stand up and explain to him how the Uniform Construction Code wants it done and why, in a respectful manner, of course.

[@Mke3005]

Hi Ron, I’m putting a 100 amp main sub panel in right next to my 200 amp main. What size aluminum and what size copper is recommended for the 100 amp breaker and what size breaker do I use for inside the 200 main panel to feed it, thanks.

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

@@Mke3005 100 amp breaker with 3 AWG copper.

[@Mke3005]

Thank you

[@AndyKing156]

Hi Ron , I wanted to ask , when you look for ohms , what should your ohms be at , isn’t it supposed to be 25 ohms or less ?

[@Makitafan]

Do we bond the meter can?

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

@@Makitafan normally, the system ground is already bonded to the meter enclosure.

[@craigharrison3674]

You make it look easy, but it ain't.

[@TheTubejunky]

It's easy if you hate easy work........
