You can. He catches details like derating the SER because its a feeder and securing the romex within 1 foot of the panel that most electricians I know miss.

I'm an electrical engineer but not an electrician. I've wired several houses and various projects but don't do it enough to remember all the details. These videos are great for that, especially from someone who is a professional everyday person. Everything he's done is exactly how I do it and that's refreshing knowing I'm doing it right. Funny story...my dad, also an electrical engineer, but not an electrician was wiring an addition to the house, and I was helping. I was around 12-13 and for the next 20 years thinking "white" was hot and "black" was neutral. I was changing a plug on the 2nd floor and didn't bother killing the circuit. Instead, I just remembered to NOT touch the white wire. When it came to the black wire...well, I was "shocked". An electrician friend finally clued me in. Fast forward another 10 years and while talking to my dad, I told him what my electrician friend told me. He started snickering and said he ended up going back and rewiring the addition, black to hot. Needless to say, I was "shocked" again and told him my experience asked if he didn't think it important letting me know he taught me wrong, instead of me learning the hard way? He kept snickering....

55 years in the trade as a State Licensed Journeyman Electrician / Sub Contractor and the only time that I have ever used Aluminum Wiring was for a underground feeder from the Outside 120/240 VAC 200 Amp Meter base on a Power pole to a Main Panel ! And that was a USE Triplex Direct Burial cable approved by the Power Company and AHJ . I sleeved it in 2 '' Schedule 80 PVC Conduit buried 24 '' below grade for a 50' run .

I'm thinking I would have come out of that panel on the right side and relocated (2) of the circuits to the MLO panel on the left so that all of the sub panel feeders are derived from the same feeder from the main. Sad that someone would wire a sub panel without an EGC but it's rewarding to know that good electricians can identify this issue and make it right. Nice video I enjoyed watching it.

Great video. I added a line to a QO 100amp sub box to power a GFCI and a security light and the first thing I did wrong was I got the wrong breaker. After getting the proper QO circuit breaker I was stumpped on how to wire it correctly. I was going to make the same mistake as this video. But I decided to look for a video explaining how to wire a the circuit breaker to the sub box. After looking for a half day on KZbin and Google. I found your video And it is the most extensive of all the videos on KZbin. Tomorrow I will be finishing the circuit breaker install. Thank you

Greetings - Nice video but there are some things folks need to consider. I will detail them here for your viewers. 1) The abrasion bushing is not required for use with cable, while it is above the minimums it is simply not necessary as the clamp will secure the cable in place. The bushings that are mandated via 300.4(G) or within the specific raceway articles are for abrasion while doing the install as well as after the install. Notice that 300.4(G) makes no mention of cable. 2) The use of Anti-Oxidation Paste is optional unless mandated by the manufacturer. In fact, none of the UL 67 listed panelboards require or are testing with anti-oxidant compounds. Now, that is also optional and above the minimum standards so the reason I mention this is not to let an inspector tell you otherwise. However, we at Electrical Code Academy, Inc. encourage its use. 3) You really should mention that all terminations MUST be torqued to a specific inch pound or foot pound depending on the termination size, this is part of 110.3(B) as the manufactures state these values on the labels in the cabinet but also as required in 110.14(D) as well. This is vital to the longevity of the termination due to conductor thermal expansion and contraction over time, too tight is equally as bad as too lose. 4) The panel your "electrician" is using is improperly wired as noted. However, he made a statement that he would come back and install a separate equipment grounding bus (terminal bar) but to do that he also would need to replace that SER Cable between the two enclosures since that would need to take place first before any new EGC bar was added otherwise it defeats the purpose and doesn't remove the improper case to neutral connection of 250.24(A)(5) from taking place. 5) Never use anything to "bang" in a circuit breaker. Just firm pressure as it could be a gapping issue that "banging" it in could create more issues, such as arching and poor surface contact due to gap displacement so push firm but never "BANG" it in place with the back of a hammer. Just some things for your viewers to think about......as the NEC is a minimum safety standard and going above the minimums are fine but maintaining the minimums are required. Semper Fi Soldier.

Kudos to you for catching the derating. Your deox isn't required on an A8000 series alloy, which all aluminum wire is required to be since the 80's. It isn't bad to use though. It is only required when reworking old actual aluminum connections. And you got the supports within a foot of the box.

i am now in a program to learn to become an electrician's apprentice. When ever I mention to my instructor (an old school electrician about the work in my house that I have done (including wiring a sub panel in my walk up attic) and that I have learned of a few things I could have done better, she reminds me that should only do work under a certified electrician. So I do appreciate that you discussed at least pulling a permit for things like the sub panel. The one thing that I think was bad though was the guy with the beard in the beginning who indicated that even if you don't know anything about being an electrician, this video will help you be able to do the job yourself. If you were to remake this tutorial, I recommend not saying that, and constantly reminded people to always work with the power off at the source, and then to check with a voltmeter at the new sub panel that there is indeed not power coming into it. Good mellow instructions though.

Be very careful sir. Insurance companies can withhold payments in the event of an electrical caused disaster if the legal paperwork (permits/inspections) are not done correctly. It might be possible for the legal payout to fall on the person that did the work along with the knowledge that your work may have injured someone. See if you can get your instructor to talk on that subject for a few minutes. That talk may save you and your classmates more than just money. Thanks.

Thanks for another cool video, one thing I have to mention though is that how the sub panel is grounded is never mentioned. Yes the neutral is isolated from the box and a new ground bar is added but the box and that ground bar need to be connected to a real ground- ground bar into the earth, I.E.

Great vid, but there are a couple things that would be a great add, explain why are the breakers all on 1 side in the subpanel..(does it matter?), also what is the gauge on the wire from main to sub?, also How many breakers can you use in a sub box and how is the breaker amperage determined when choosing the breaker for the main box? Placement of the wires in the main box in terms of where does the Red hot go vs the black? …these would be great adds

Pretty reasonable demonstration. A few comments: - I don't like all the extra RX inside the boxes - I usually get a length and cut back the RX THEN insert it into the panel or box so you're not reaching in trying to clip that stuff off in the back of a box. - Could have covered a few other things like how close staples need to be on the cable after exiting the box (a box that does not have internal clamps). - I also never liked putting more than one RX under a single clamp - I know its done all the time - but if I have the space - each run gets its own or I use the double clamps.

Excellent info. One point of contention: Think hard about whether you might expand the service (eg add circuits & more load).With the price of electrical supplies skyrocketing, its not so smart to just oversize stuff. In my first house (600 sq ft cottage), we used 12 ga romex and 20 amp breakers for outlets even though 14 ga & 15 amp was standard. I never used any of the extra capacity so it was really just a waste of money. We also put in a 200 amp panel but 100 amp would have been more than enough for my little cottage.

Ok, but now you sell, the next guy adds on, and you made it easy on him, or you decide to add on yourself later. Oversizing is almost always a good idea as long as you don't make it ridiculous. Case in point, the electrician in this video is adding a subpanel to a subpanel; if the guy had oversized by just a little, he wouldn't be hiring a second electrician to put in a third panel.

Also, a 200 amp service adds value to your home over a 100 amp service. When you going to sell a home, people are looking for a maximum sized panel with extra available circuits.

I live in New England and the guidance here is good. Where I diverge is that this work should be done by someone who is licensed. We have to work as apprentices for some time before we can do this type of work. There are many variables that can make it a hazardous installation if you are inexperienced. At minimum all the mains should be torqued to spec as well as branch circuits. Is the average handy guy so equipped? Just saying. Personally I would have used a MLO load center.

The video is good but it is important that the board is as balanced as possible in terms of amperage so that it does not overload and, if necessary, when using the appliances that consume the most, the Breakers do not trip.

Very informative video. Thank your for sharing your knowledge. Question: In your video, you run a 4-wire cable from one subpanel to another subpanel. I take it that doing that is OK. Am I right?
