Installing the electric service in my garage with battery backup

[@FarmCraft101]

I've never seen that mule tape "winch" trick before. That is freakin' genius. Nice work as always.

[@ozzstars_cars]

I've been in the trades professionally for 25 years. Your forethought and attention to detail is excellent. My favorite part of the video was the "heavy" electrical explanation, the inverter stuff. Thanks for sharing your knowledge! 👍 -Glen

50:54 While watching this series on your shop build, I realized that all of your used/rebuilt equipment seems to be just what’s needed for the job. Congratulations on your long term planning and performance! Fun videos for an old retired geezer.

[@chadlers]

I just want to give you a compliment on your level of skill and knowledge. I always joke I'm a jack of trades a master of none but your level of multifaceted master class knowledge is exceptional. Thank you for making the videos you do so guys like me can learn more!

[@yonimerosoyola7840]

C'mon man! It is 8:49am for me in my time zone and I haven't gone to sleep yet. I just finished watching Ants Pants video for his today's upload and as I was getting ready to go to bed I see your newly brewed video Jesse. There is no way I am not watching this right now, I won't be able to get rest over this video thinking on what went down today with your build. Definitely not complaining, all what I'm trying to say is that I would need a freshly made cup of coffee! Cheers to you all.

Man I had my breakfast like a little kid hopping to finish it right away so I could come to my desk and get ready to spend 3 hours in front of my computer, just to find out I was fooled, LOL.

57:24 pro tip, taping those ends of lines unevenly, it helps to make the whole thing more sharp pointed and bendy, less likely to get stuck to internal edges in pipe.

[@caveman31750]

My man is on top of it with the "For FORTY YEARS!" and the "put some of that Hauk Tuah! on there" Great video thanks for sharing!

[@KevinCoop1]

Very nicely done electrical video. You are very knowledgeable of the system. It is always a pleasure seeing someone doing it right! Some comments. When I did my shed, I put all the receptacles at 48” so I can put counter tops anywhere and not block them with objects sitting on the floor. I use a #2 square Robertson bit on most electrical termination screws. For future reference, long bends in pvc conduit, opposed to factory bends, causes way higher pulling friction. Conductors on conduit sidewall while pulling for many feet instead of a couple feet with a fitting. NM cable must be protected from physical damage below 8’, so conduit or wall covering. Hopefully you are not 6’3” tall. Maximum height to center of breakers is 6’7”. Please show in your next video, installing #6 bare out to and connected to two ground rods from the ground bar. Again, very good video!

[@eloleddie]

Looks like an impossible task for ME, but you have done this once or twice before and the physical strength, in addition to the track on the excavator. I am astonished by how you have accomplished this task! Congratulations!!

[@gurban333]

if heating in the winter is critical. you will be well off air sealing and getting as best of a CI break as possible

[@tylerbarrett6652]

Wow, Jesse - when you design a test, you REALLY design a test!! Nice job with all of that... and CONGRATS on getting power installed in your shop. Thanks for sharing all this with us.

[@jeromekurtzsr878]

I’ve never seen anybody pull cable with an excavator track before in my life and by doing that it was probably 1000 times faster….that was absolute genius.

[@nicclark9791]

I did 2 of my shops where I core drilled the floor, no pipe for the lawn mower/plow to hit and the fact didn't want to see it, no matter its all good, nice job on the shop.

[@Nonsense62365]

Great Video Dude! Much appreciated. I’ve watched lots of reviews on back up lithium battery and Lipo battery systems. Yours is the best other people had the same product on their videos and they failed miserably. You covered a lot of great stuff that most of years don’t know how to cover don’t have the equipment you have or just don’t have the technical knowledge. I think it’s a great plus that you’re a master electrician because you understand this stuff most people don’t get it and never well, thanks so much for all the explanation about the model numbers of the various wire that was also great so kudos to you. Keep up the great work love your channel. It’s awesome.!

[@robertjennings5357]

Jesse you are WAY smarter than me! Hats off to your abilities!! Wow!

[@freddieslaughter1107]

This video has been so interesting to watch what it takes to wire up a garage with high voltage wiring with solar panels as a backup. You explain everything as you go which is also helpful.

[@TheMgcracka]

Another great video Jesse. Keep em coming. Thing's are coming together on your shop. Congratulations

[@richardkaufman1643]

Well done video. Your explanations are very good, even a 40 year master electrician like me, can pick up some pointers.

[@jmuller86]

I appreciate that. electrical work on youtube seems to usually bring out the know it all's . I havent seen too many this time though lol

[@celticsoldia]

I love that the HAWK TUAH made it into this video.

[@maxvanrunkle1052]

Hey Jesse thanks for all of your videos, you are certainly one of the best on KZbin........I don't usually comment, but, having been on solar at our place for 22 years (and I have been a working licensed home builder for 40+ years) I want to recommend putting solar panels on racks outside instead of panels on the roof. At your young age you are probably going to outlast your shops roof and having to deal with solar panels when re roofing......or if you have any leak at the roof and you have the panel support system it could get complicated even if you do own your own lifts!! Just a thought, keep up the great work! Thanks!

[@anthonywilson2346]

Jesse I know I will never use all the bits and pieces of information that you impart to us but it certainly fills in a few blanks in my past. If all else fails them you can always teach the next generations. Keep them coming 🇬🇧😊

[@martineastburn3679]

Nice looking job. For a long time Plasma user - CNC - I suggest you convert the air tank supply to a bottle of Nitrogen. Cleaner cuts and more current to job. Less steam to mess stream.

[@douglasthompson2740]

Plug in lights make sense on several levels. They are all made in China now and many come that way, they often do not last long so replacement is much easier than hard wired. Moving them is much simpler if you find in future that you would prefer them in a different place. I would leave ample room on the circuit in case you wish to step up to brighter lights or more after working under this set up. As you get older you will find more and brighter light is helpful. The shop will really be appreciated come winter!

Don't stop expanding your mind but do take quality time with family and friends God Bless

[@buddyreed2623]

Hello Jesse. So that is what a Master Electrician does for his workshop. Impressive! If Anker does not sponsor a few videos of yours and perhaps a perk or two, I would really be surprised. That was a fantastic explanation of what their equipment can and can't do. They could even ask you to write a manual. Have good days!

[@briansheerin1436]

As usual, AWESOME video! Something to think about- another KZbin channel (can’t remember which one) installed the raised rib inside their workshop with the ribs going horizontal and said they wish they did vertical because all those ribs catch all the dust and dirt when they are horizontal.

[@fastsetinthewest]

Well, another Saturday. I was out repairing my driveway at 6 A.M. I had to grind some bubbles off and do some touch up paint. I painted and sealed up the cracks in my concrete driveway a year ago. The weather here in Texas has been over 100 degrees. I was finished by 9 A.M. Great video.

[@peteysquirrelchaser9028]

Must be a nice change to hammer in boxes and sling wire through regular framing instead of dealing with all that foam.

[@jmuller86]

yes

[@incubatork]

You make it look so easy, everything electrical has to be in metal conduit here(would have thought plastic being an insulator would have been better/safer) for garage and semi industrial buildings, makes it a lot more work not to mention the expense.

[@AmbientNoise404]

25:30 only problem with those mechanical lugs is that they go past the panels plastic that protects the connections from shortcircuit. I would have taped them or something.

Got a 24k mini-split in a garage we converted to appt. Love it. Super quiet and efficient. Not great in sub-zero but that doesn't happen much here. Summer cooling is perfect. Had to replace the main board in the compressor unit outside because a family of roaches took up residence on the circuit board and fried it. But found a new board online and replaced it no problem.

[@BrushyMtnJohn]

Using CTs to prevent back charging the grid is super nifty. I’m gonna use these units to provide my emergency house backup. Anker made a well thought out unit

[@BigMacheteBM]

Very interesting video for solar electric stuff. If you plan to install a mini split for winter time just check if the condensation unit will work in frozen environment, most of them won’t do that in my experience, but maybe you already know.

[@MrTheBigNoze]

Your electrical videos are some of my favorite you put out. As always great planning and execution, would love to see more finished house vids in the future!

[@GICK117]

As I am watching your set up, the only shortfall so far I see is 20 amp for compressor. Maybe rethink that one. A 220 volt would use less energy than 110. And be a stronger unit. And go 220 for hot water heater. Same idea as compressor. Just a thought. Retired GC from California.

[@jmuller86]

The compressor is 240 and 20 amps. I will probably upgrade the compressor next year and run 30 amps at 240 for it

When feeding cables off reels adjacent to each other on a spindle have them coming in opposite directions off the reels. This ensures that each conductor remains taught

Nice work on the install! One thing to consider is adding another 240V outlet next to the large garage door under the panel, just so you can use less extension cords to do any work outside the shop if need be.

[@robertrousseau5264]

Jesse a long time ago you asked where you should put your air compressor and I say you put it outside and soundproof it outside so you don't hear it when you're working inside that's my suggestion and I think you putting in solar is a great idea besides having a regular power and I would also think about putting later on if not sooner a converter to go up to a three phase just a suggestion all right this is Bob from Vero Beach Florida God bless and stay safe

[@josephking6515]

I'll assume and make a _ass_ out of _me_ and _me_ and say that you'll put a ceiling on the rafters which will provide even more illumination via the reflection from the ceiling. It will make the already impressive lighting even greater. You have a nice logical setup there Jesse; very impressive!! One thing that needs to be done and I mention this for my old friend Justin Case on the off chance you haven't considered it and that is you absolutely need to document the setup and how it all works. Going to make is so much easier if you become incapacitated and are unable to repair it if something breaks. Once you have this incredible setup completed your electric bills are going to be far call. I am so envious of this setup and wish I was able to do just some of what you have accomplished and are planning to implement. Really looking forward to when this project comes to being fully finished. *Thank You* for these videos. Bloody interesting, highly entertaining and very educational. 👍👍

I always learn a new trick or two, whenever you do 'lecktricity and stuff. :)

[@glenlongstreet7]

In the inverters I worked with, the DC was changed to a square wave which was then changed to a sinewave. There is a lot of loss in this depending on the quality of the 'Tank Circuit', a combination of a coil and a capacitor. This was over 40 years ago, but electronics doesn't change much on a macro system. Microelectronics has changed so much you can't even see it anymore.
