    Good video. You were absurdly lucky that your electrical panel is in the exact spot you needed though.

      Gotta be good to be lucky 😉
      I could have made any scenario work, but I got off easy ☺️ Glad you enjoyed the video 🙏🏼

    Thank you for the info! I was wondering if that installation requires a GFCI circuit breaker. I am sure it will work OK, but if for any reason an inspector needs to get involved, maybe he or she will require that type of breaker in that panel. That is an outdoor installation, but again, I am not sure.

      i believe the instructions for the charger specifically said not to use a gfci breaker.

      You are right! In this case since the charger is "hardwire" there is no need for a gfci breaker. If there is any plug then to my understanding is required. Im not in the USA but the best thing to do is to consult with a licensed electrician if any doubt. In my case the code enforcement where I live is as good as the "rum brand" available for consumption".

    Which way do I turn the key to lock into the bracket?

    My blink charger has 4 wires coming out of it I think I need to take it apart. I tied the neutral and ground coming out of the charger together and it trips the breaker :/

    Does it specify if those are 8 gauge wires?

    • @DailyElectrician
      @DailyElectrician  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      should be 6s i believe, but check the spec sheet/instructions

    • @craftedworkshop

      They are 8 AWG wires on my 40A JuiceBox. The wire from the panel to the junction box, if installing that way, need to be 6 AWG to go along with the 50A breaker.

    • @Goodbrod
      @Goodbrod ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The wires on the JuiceBox were 8 THHN, we ended up running 8 AWG because the highest amperage would be 32 and with the 25% overage allowance, 8 would be great. Wanted to match them with 8 THHN, but running a conduit for those wires would have been very tricky in this case. It came down to either 8 AWG or 6 AWG,( which would have matched the 8 THHN in max amps). To be a little safer just in case, I then lowered the total amps in the unit to 30.@@craftedworkshop

    Can you do a video on running power to a backyard shed? Im a 4th year apprentice and people have been asking me to do this kind of job, it would be nice if you can do a video commentary and tutorial.

      You need to get a license before you're doing illegal side work

      If you need to watch a video ,you shouldn’t be wiring anybody’s shed .. You will be held liable if anything goes wrong !

    Actually, this is a minor detail, but if you look closely at your load center, you will see that the GROUND wires actually are over on the right side of the box, while the NEUTRAL wires are on the left side. The exception is that you have a lot of arc fault / GFCI breakers in there, which have the neutrals attach directly to them. The point is that you said that the neutrals and grounds share the same connection points, and in reality they do not. It's not really a huge deal or anything in a single-phase system like this, but if you have enough of that green wire (and it looks like you might) then you really should connect that over on the ground strip with the other ground wires. In this particular case, there is no neutral. Some 240V circuits will have a neutral, such as a dryer or stove, because these appliances may have an internal 120V circuit (such as that for a light bulb inside a dryer) and they would use a neutral; appliances that are strictly 240V will not need that neutral, hence only the red/black and green wires.
    One other note here is that, although your local codes may not require it, you really should install a quick disconnect box outside (like what's on your air conditioner), connecting that to the breaker panel inside, and then connecting the pigtail on your JuiceBox to the disconnect. This makes for a cleaner installation and also a little easier to work with in a case where you might need to remove current from the JuiceBox in an emergency (not likely, since it has its own internal monitoring circuits, but still this is often code for an outdoor install.)

    Avoid saying "I went ahead and..." It's annoying. However, your video has helped me reinstall my EV power feed.
