every one of those home run boxes jumping to another power box are connected one and wired one by one ? and leads back to the power box ? or some of them you have found ways to connect them if they seperate wired to the power box, which is apart from the other ones in the garage?

[@DailyElectrician]

each wire and box has a specific purpose. you have to know the purpose so you know how to wire it accordingly. some are "home runs" to one box and stop. some hit the first box then jump to others.

And today I more or less learned what a home run is, something that connects directly to the breaker.

[@makesaveinccomm]

Hi guy some one please tell me the different between home depot 2 gauge thhn copper wire and Lowes wire. They both made by southwire but why does lowe list it can only carry max 110 amp while home depot listed on their site 125 amp max. If I don't remember wrong, I think in store even said 130 amp. I plan to run 25-28 feet inside conduit over head inside garrage ceiling. 125 circuit breaker box. Thanks

[@uhjyuff2095]

Check NEC code book and look at the 75C column. The reason for 75C column is must use the lowest value for the entire system and circuit breakers are only rated to 75C.

[@luciferianjesuslover9453]

are there any videos similar to this explained in a more clear way?

[@anthonyesparsen7776]

is this is a home or a commercial install I see all branch circuits are in the metal cable which is commercial grade wiring usually home wiring is done all in nm cable throughout the home why is this home in commercial-grade wiring, this is a heavy expensive thing to do

[@finessearmstrong5963]

Why did you have to run conduit inside of walls instead of romex? Im in Ohio and thought conduit is not required inside of walls.

[@elgavilandelsur7254]

I guess he charged pretty good and added the bells and whistles

[@jonlehman2671]

Well first off it's called MC not conduit. Second just because they legally could use romex doesn't mean the prints said they could. MC is way stronger and harder for a stray screw to damage it. Also critters are not going to be able to chew threw aluminum but they definitely will chew through plastic

[@tylerweigand8614]

And in Chicago here we have all hard conduit not bx or romex. MC or flexible conduit we can only use less then 6’ I think. To like an appliance or for remodeling and moving electric..

[@lindawoodworth9346]

Was noting the quality of your line cabling, it's called 'BX' cable? Is that right? Here in Georgia they only use the plastic coated wires. But out in the country where we are, sometimes 'wildlife' gets in, and they like to chew on cable. So I wish we had the metal-clad stuff like you are installing in the video. Is it something I need to ask for when having new wiring done?

[@Nick-bh1fy]

You can ask the electrician to use Ac90 cable, it’ll just cost more money to do the job

Why call Ac90 to bx

[@DailyElectrician]

this is a commercial kitchen so its in MC (bx) you can have it installed in houses just more money

[@anthonyesparsen7776]

be very careful going into home wiring all the codes take effect here, its not like commercial wiring where you have plans and an engineer telling you everything you have to do spec by spec on the plans, most of all the new codes come into effect in the residential fields

Why is it a bad idea to take the output of a Honda EU2200i and bring it into a house via the 240-volt GENERATOR INLET? I realize that it cannot power the whole house. I am only looking to power one circuit. I also realize that the generator only outputs 120-volts. However, can't 120 easily be converted to 240? Simply encouraging me to just run extension cords through doors/windows doesn't answer my question. I want to understand why using the generator inlet (NEMA SS2-50P) is a bad idea (or impossible). If it is possible & won't hurt anything, I would much rather use the inlet vs. running an extension cord through a window.

[@kipster-ll6po]

I just discovered that a variety of products exist on the market that are aimed at doing what I described above. Should I gather from that that what I am wanting to do is perfectly safe & legitimate? I also have this question: Many of the adapters I have seen only have one 5-15P feeding them. Should I assume from that that what comes out the other end is only 110v? In other words, 110v exiting from a, let's say 14-50R, which is obviously designed to supply 220v? If so - if only 110 volts enter the house via the generator inlet, what issues (if any) would that cause?

Now unions are usually fast to get you into an apprenticeship if you pass their exams with very good scores, non union schools help out a lot if you wanna get a job fast but as an Electrical Trainee.
