Great video! Very clean & neat install!! Ontario, Canada installers take note! The ground wire goes to the Neutral bar to bond the Neutral to Ground. Then a green ground screw (factory installed) connects the grounded Neutral to the metal box. Electrical inspectors up here will reject the main grounding method shown in this video. Also branch circuit wiring (yellow & orange shown here) CANNOT be run through the main breaker compartment for safety reasons. There is an exception to this allowed if there is a main disconnect switch ahead of this box near the meter box.

Thanks for the vid! A couple of comments for others watching and reading. It doesnt matter which hot wire goes to either of the two lugs on either side of the neutral lug for the two 120 volt 'hot' service entrance conductors. Also, grounding (bare copper) wires can be directly attached to the neutral bars (No need for separate ground bars) if the service goes directly back to the meter (grounds only need to be separated from the neutrals for auxiliary panels). Lastly, the 'goop' he put on is an anti-oxidant so the aluminium wires do not corrode.

@TammieFulmer10 ай бұрын
I am pretty sure he said the main wires go back to the meter, so if that is true, the panel he is working on is the main, so that means his ground and neutral should be bonded together unless his meter can also has breakers. So after this main panel if he was to add another panel somewhere else in the home that would be a sub panel witch the ground and neutral should be separate. He should also have plastic covers over the two hot legs terminal and its a great idea to keep neutrals separate and you can double tap your grounds if the wire is the same size if your inspector agrees with that but absolutely a very neat panel and excellent keeping the wires labeled.

Ryndon, First of all I want to say nice job, I am a Master Electrician and have been for 35 years. Overall I think you did a nice job clean, defined and secure. I just would like to clearify a couple things we do in Maryland and of course people should realize the National Electrical Code are minumum requirements. The Load Center you installed is what is termed a sub panel that is why you have Isolated the ground from the Neutral and you installed 4 conductor feeder cable. People should know in an installation such as yours the main service is located near the Electric meter and feeds this panel also if it were a Main Panel there would have to be a Identified Green Bond Connection either a green screw or a Green tie connecting the Ground Bar to the Neutral Bar. If it were the main panel you would have used a 3 conductor Service Entrance Cable and you would have to have the panel terminate immediatly upon entrance to the house in Montgomery County Md the accepted code is within 5 feet. Also We are not allowed to intall a Main Panel on a interior wall unless it is Isolated with fire rated drywall. As I said you did a fine job I just wanted to throw my two cents so people realize there are differences where in the Country you do the work and whether you are installing a main panel or a Sub Panel. Thank you for helping people understand what a Load Center Installation entails.

I like you video Ryndon, you seem very enthusiastic and energetic, the kind of guy I would hire. If I may say, most electricians will pick apart a video of other electrician because they may think they know a lot. If you don't want to be one of those guys that gets knocked around by those know it all's, take a little time to learn a bit about wiring a panel board, or any thing for that matter. Understand what a service grounding conductor is used for and why the neutral and grounds are separated in a sub panel. Use the right terminology when referring to the ground terminals verses ground rods. Grounding conductors are not typically used for current caring conductors. There is some truth in most of the comments below, but don't take it too hard, there just trying to help. I noticed your panel was flush with the wall stud, I would set it out to the thickness of the wallboard you plan on installing, this will save you looking for longer screws to mount the cover panel. One last thing, double wiring grounds and neutrals is fronded upon, specially with the neutrals my friend. Stay Safe!!

***** Wrong jurisdiction, but most of our code is identical to the US, or behind. Canadian Code says neutrals must be terminated in such a manner that they can be disconnected without interfering with other neutrals [4-028(d)]. Therefore, double landing is prohibited. It's dangerous because while I'm removing one circuit's neutral, and incidentally break contact on the other neutral, and that other neutral is shared between 2 phases, then I have made a floating neutral situation, putting the loads in series across 240V. That can be colossal failure if those 2 circuits were imbalanced and supplied expensive equipment. Law trumps manufacturer. Law may sometimes state "as per manufacturer", but manufacturers always state "install in accordance with local laws".

NEC 408.41 is an exception for "parallel conductors" as when you pull feeders in parallel to ease cost and difficulty pulling due to wire size (imagine pulling two 3/0 as the neutral (or "grounded") conductor for a 500 amp feeder). Needless to say, that implies the same circuit which means you placing neutrals from separate circuits under the same terminal is a plain violation of 408.41. Grounding electrodes (grounds) can be terminated under the same lug if rated. Guess you got some lax inspectors out there.

Home Depot used to have a display of how to install a service.. Until non electricians began getting killed and the lawsuits started coming.

***** When I lived in cali(5-10 years ago) a 100 to 200 amp service upgrade was 4000-5000, now in arkansas area the same thing is 1000-1500(which will be going up starting next year when AR adopts 2014 code)

Because people burn houses down when they try to do something over their head like this. Leave it to the professionals.

I did in fact learn more in my first day as a apprentice than what I just seen. If I inspected this you or someone would be doing that panel again the right way. I would list your mistakes but if you read the comments you will find most of them lol.

Well done, man. Good job. This isn't perfect, but it's far from disappointing. This is probably one of the best and most concise vids on YT about Main Panel installation. Not sure whether you WARNED people that your service wires were not connected yet. Those hot wires can and will kill you.

If you have to do anything else in the main panel besides installing new or replacing circuit breakers (NOT the main c.b.) make sure the meter is disconnected, even if there's a disconnect before the panel...don't trust your life to a switch that might have a blade still connected when you think the switch is off.

Diesel Boy, Which means he's violating code with more than one neutral wire connected to a neutral bus block terminal connection..

My compliments to the well-spoken moderator and producers of this nice video on basics of modern service panel installation. Thanks for saving us from ponderous tutorial points by speeding up and editing appropriately. I would have appreciated some elaboration on the requirements of wiring for AFCI (arc fault circuit interruption) breakers; I'll have to dig elsewhere to answer questions in my mind, raised (at about 9:00) by the moderator.

Finally a good intelligent young good American man who knows exactly how to wire a breaker box and shows it in a very intelligent manner and explains everything without wasting a person's time talking about hearts and fingers and holes. If I had the money I would send this young man $100,000 for Christmas for helping so many people.

Thanks for making the video. I know you get a lot of critical comments, but it seems like most of them refer to items that vary based on local codes. I work in high voltage substations, and I bet most electricians would have a field day criticizing some of those installations.
