I just purchased a shed and plan to convert to office/workshop. Eventhough I have replaced light switches and sockets over the years. Wiring the shed made me very leery. I do have a local electrician that will help with wiring from the main house but wanted to do some myself. I am so glad to have found this video which is very well explained and will be a very good starting point for my project.

This video was extremely easy to follow. I loved that you took time to give such detail. I worked as a maintenance technician for several years and was pretty familiar with doing a lot of electrical work. However, I could never grasp how each breaker was wired line/load to each outlet or light switch. I truly feel confident that I will be able to do the wiring on my building. I had an electrician upgrade my circuit breaker from a 100amp to a 200 with a sub box outside to eventually add power to my exterior building. I am turning my building into an art studio. I've had to wait to do the electricity until after I have my new doors and windows in place.

I am impressed that you chose to use what looks like commercial grade switches and receptacles, kudos to you. As others have pointed out two grounds may not be fastened to the ground lug, one must use a pig tail in those circumstances. The other issue I noticed was that wiring receptacles that are switched requires the use of 12ga. wire to be code compliant.

I also noticed that the stripped conductors we're only placed underneath the screws. These should be hooked for security. I took an electrical wiring class, so I know what I've learned. Lastly, as a good rule of thumb, always connect the grounds first (pigtailed as needed). Aside from those things, great demonstration and a refresher because I'm about to wire my shed. Thanks for this visual!

Sir, for the most part you did very well. Yes, there are some minor discrepancies. There is one issue that you really need to fix though. Putting 2 ground conductors on one screw in the receptacles is not per the NEC rules and is unsafe. Code says that removing one device will not disconnect the ground conductor. They need to be spliced and then connected to the device. Best wishes! Be safe, the life you save may be your own. Kevin

Pretty good job, but there are some mistakes that should be corrected and viewers should be aware of. For grounding on the receptacles you should use a green wire nut, a crimping ferrule or a pigtail. Only one wire is allowed under one screw. On the switch box you have 5 cables coming in and 3 switches. You need to connect 8 ground wires, one from each cable and 3 pigtails, one to each switch. That's alot for one wire nut. You can use 2 wire nuts with a jumper, an 8 position push in connector, or two 5 position Wago lever nuts with a jumper. I think you said that there are 2 circuits in that box. The neutral wires must remain within their circuit, so they must be connected separately. I think you did that, but it wasn't clear.

Is your studs 16" or 24"? If they are 24" how did you insulate the building ? I am having issues figuring out the insulation as the rolls from 15" for 16" spaces. I will be using this video to help me wire my building.
@SouthernCountryLiving
@SouthernCountryLiving 5 жыл бұрын
Thanks for watching, this is my son's building and I think his studs are on 24 in center. They make insulation that is 24 inch wide for this setup. He has not insulated his building yet. On your question about the circuit breaker it was a 100 amp. It came with the panel that we bought. If you run your own wire to the building be sure to get the four wire setup. Home Depot told us to use the three wire setup. It works fine but that was the code for several years ago. The new code requires the four wire setup.
@jtltet
@jtltet 5 жыл бұрын
If your studs are 16"oc, the space between the studs where the insulation goes is 14-1/2" so the 15" wide insulation fits snuggly in between the studs. They make 23" wide insulation for studs that are 24"oc which means the space is 22-1/2".

Thanks for watching Jim. I helped my son with the actual wiring but he purchased all of the materials. He didn't actually keep up with the cost because he was buying woodworking tools and other items together. I don't know how much the materials cost total.

I just bought a 14 x28 . I’m trying to re remember how I wired my old barn many years ago . At Lowe’s I got 12-2 roll of 250 feet for around 65 or 68 dollars. Mine is yellow out side so I hope I got the right wire .mi need to get the white covered wire for my lights unless I can use the 12-2 .

Just wondering, why not just run a wire from your main box circut breaker to the shed and branch off From there, why put in a sub panel.

He wanted to have enough power to run whatever he wanted to run without tripping the breakers. In my personal shop that I built about 30 years ago I wired it the way you described. It has worked fine for me so far. I run an air compressor and table saws in it also. I have never tripped a breaker yet.

For the purpose that I use my building for, yes I would. I have lights in it and I use electric tools. I don't run an air conditioner. Sometimes I run a small electric heater. On my sons building he wanted to run air conditioning and bigger power tools.

Can never have too many outlets. When I wired my garage my goal that no matter where I stood I wanted to be able to plug something in reach along the wall without stepping.

I'm not an electrician but I do have an associate's degree in industrial electricity, I'm pretty sure code requires an outlet every 6ft of wall space anyway. I'm planning to wire up my 12x24 shed I just bought this week, so this video has given me some pointers. Thanks.

Thanks for watching. Using the armored wire is good if you live in an area that has a problem with rodents. It will increase the cost of installation considerably. We don't have a problem with mice in our area so it is not necessary for us.

I am running a 125 sub to a detached garage. NEC code instructs separate ground and neutral bars with no bonding. I think the need of a ground rod and ground wire from main is code as well. The sub box appears to be energized. Am I wrong?
