INSTALLING AN ELECTRICAL SUB PANEL FOR SHED

Do we need to ground the box? I have a ground from my main panel. It all attached to a 30 amp at the main and I'm powering a 12x15 office lights plugs etc didnt think I would need a copper bar here also? Dont have one fro my other sub panel but I do have a thick copper wire going to the main from that sub

[@adammoir]

why is the panel facing outside. would you not want the access to the panel to be on the inside of the shed ?

[@mrkraymnd]

If it’s inside then it’ll take up wall space, which he doesn’t have much of. In the last video he explained this. The panel is designed to be used outside

[@lawnrebel]

Yes. Takes up too much wall space

[@scottbulow33]

The panel doesn’t take up that much space. It should e on the inside. Now it’s a pain in the ass to get pipes out of the panel! And you should never cover up an LB like that. You have to rip open the wall if you ever have to access it

[@lawnrebel]

There will be an access panel on the outside

I'm .. confused. Are you building the shed joined to that build you were in or did you install that sub panel backwards! ?

[@mkzenthusiasts]

Connor - you need one of those fancy liftmaster openers that attach to the spring bar that way you won't see an ugly opener in those beautiful windows and you can check with the app if it's closed or not.

[@lawnrebel]

That's the plan. I've been planning on getting one of those openers. Just been waiting for electricity

[@PinchTune]

This is really good. I just finished running a subpanel to my basement. However, just today I'm planning on running power to my shed. Was debating about putting the subpanel inside, but I also don't want to deal with the space this will take because it's a small 120 sq/ft shed. I think I may just do it like you did here with a nice Eaton panel like that. My shed's not insulated, so my plan is looking like I might attach it to the studs, facing outwards and cut a box hole in the siding to expose it, then seal around the edges so that only the is exposed. This is more or less how the house itself is done. I do want to add hardy siding at some point so I might have to leave some room for that.

[@virgilhubbard2847]

What size wire did you use?

[@lawnrebel]

Pretty sure it was #2

[@KevinCoop1]

Other than being silly and running it inside the shed and then running it outside the shed, you have two important NEC violations. The conduit from the LB to the panel must have a connector. None installed. Article 225.30 states that when you feed a building from another building you must have a means of disconnect. 225.31 tells where it must be located. You installed directly to a MLO(Main Lugs Only) panel. You should have a disconnect or a main breaker to be compliant with NEC.

[@pld8993]

He also ran Romex through a 1"+ hole with no connector; missing a ground rod (need two); the ground rod he installed was only 5' long before he cut it (too short); conduit must be complete before you install conductors, you can't slide sections onto conductors the way he did it; didn't mark the feeder EGC; incorrect color on the neutral (it looks like a yellow stripe to me, but it's white then it's fine). I understand that DIYers do hack work all the time, but they shouldn't be putting videos of their illegal and potentially dangerous projects on KZbin. Do NOT run power to your shed like this.

I AM NOT AN ELECTRICIAN, but On the sub panel, I don't think you connect the ground and the natural bars together. Easy fix if I am wrong, but I like it that you do it your way man..

[@jaycahow4667]

You NEVER connect the Ground and Neutral on a Sub Panel, only on the Main Panel!

He did not connect G&N. Both bars are ground. Not on plastic, straight to the can.

Why mess around with liguid spray on fertilizer. Get a broadcast spreader and Winter fertilizer from IFA and just start walking. No muss, no fuss. A drop spreader is a pain to get your rows right and the proper overlap. Get the big broadcast spreader.

Where the service comes into the sub panel the edges are not protected. Those cables will change over time and cause a nasty short.

[@lawnrebel]

I will protect them with a plastic grommet or foam insulation

[@jameswillett118]

Great vid mate

[@JohnColombo]

Hay there... just a couple issues there. Not making fun of your work or being obnoxious about it just want y'all to be safe and somewhat code compliant. First you have no connector from your lb into your panel... That's a big time no no as the wire is free to rub all up on that metal, and yes things do move. I would suggest a threaded metal lb so you can put a close nipple in there and get a lock nut on it then a bushing. That would keep your depth as you want and be compliant/safe. Second you can not cover a LB with anything (and be code compliant), like drywall, so you need to have a access panel on the back side there to access it.

[@petersidhu8721]

also the ground he has coming from the main panel to subpanel. should that not be disconnected as he already has a new ground rod and wire coming from the new ground bar that ties into the ground bar?

[@SkyroofNova72]

I'm no builder so my curiosity has to know why the shed sits below grade. I remember it built from wood, not a concrete pour with stem walls. I guess in my mind I'd be worried if it flooding. Someone educate me please.

[@lawnrebel]

I'm worried about it as well. It keeps me up at night.

[@SkyroofNova72]

Connor Ward oh good, I thought it was just me

[@anthonyesparsen7776]

Don't forget you need permits ok building and electrical

[@kingranch51]

You need an access panel to that LB you plan on burying in the wall by code. Ground rod is a bit short but it’s supplemental. Other than that it looks good. If that wire ever goes bad That pull is gonna be a bitch with the added 2 90s on the end. Pretty Unlikely scenario though.

[@lawnrebel]

Yeah for sure it's gonna be a pain to re pull it if I ever need to. Not likely to ever happen. I plan to have a hinged door that will be a part of the siding plan to access the panel and breakers.

[@jaycahow4667]

@@lawnrebel He is talking that you need to be able to access the LB you have on the inside of the shed.

Conner have you ever used that Northstar tow behind Sprayer on the Lawn, if so how did it go?

[@lawnrebel]

No. Not on the lawn. It's not great quality wise

[@rupe53]

This project is near completion so my pointers will be to people wanting to use this for ideas on their own project. If you are doing an outside panel then do a surface mount instead of a flush mount. This way you can come straight out of the ground with conduit... so much easier. When wiring a shed always use a slip joint on the feeder conduit so any settling or frost heave doesn't break the pipe. The conduit could also come straight up on the outside and use an LB to feed an inside panel. The conduit must be continuous all the way to the panel and must have a bushing where the wire goes into the panel. There should be no gaps in conduit! If you want more wall space you could always put the panel by the light switch because the switch needs to be clear anyway. (a small panel will fit in the same bay) If you are tight for space you can use a "spa panel" which is only about 6 inches wide with 4 slots. That can provide a welder outlet and a pair of double breakers, for a total of 6 circuits... but they are small so things will be tight inside.

[@javiergiraldez1647]

Why used Tandem breakers if you have enough room for regular breakers and balance the loads. The way like you did ,15 amps breaker are sharing 1 phase and the 20’s too. If you install regular breakers, no tandem, A phase goes with one 20 and one 15 and the B fade one 15 and one 20. Balance loads. With your tandems you did phase A with 20 amps and Phase B with 15. In a full load situation, you will withdraw 5 amps to neutral and somebody can be shock.

[@thomasmarable6818]

Your math is wrong if the breakers are fully loaded it would be 10 amps. Also it is not A phase and B phase, its L1 and L2 can not have 2 phase on a single phase service.
