    My teacher spend a combined 5 minutes explaining this and moved on smh. I’m sitting here in lab trying to figure it out myself now, thank you!

    Working on my school assignments and have no teacher as I’m working on the road- this has been very handy to help calculate my box fill for the questions at the end of the chapter- thanks.

      I appreciate your comments!!! I am glad you liked it!! I am working on building my own work books on Dwelling calculations and also no dwellings. Keep an eye out for them. They should be ready for the summer!!! Thanks for watching!! CM

    I believe the 2020 calculation on grounds is different now. I believe after 4 meaning the 5th ground you need to add .25 to the fill.

      Yes this correct, i was confused because the video is different from my apprenticeship classes. He’s going off older code.

    Count the mounting screws for your devices (yolks) so a switch is “two to mount - two to count” a dryer receptacle is “four to mount - four to count”.

      @craigmichaud-electricalins4602  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      For 2 device yokes it will be 8 cubic inch. 2 x 4 =8. If you need more explanation please email me at sparkyinstructor@gmail.com. CM

    So what if you got more than three gronding conductors entering a junction box. Does it still count as 1 ?

  • @SkyDaLimit925
    @SkyDaLimit925 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I got a 66 yesterday on my general electrician exam I had a quite a few box fill questions. I thought I did most of them right but great video. There was one though that was 8x8x6 how many number 8’s can fit in that

    • @michaelhinchey
      @michaelhinchey 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I believe multiplying the box 8x8x6 = 384
      Then take the size for each wire and divide it into the 384. 8 Awg = 3. Equals 128 #8s.

    Do these same calculations apply for a service main or are these only applicable towards jboxes?

  • @denvercharlebois709
    @denvercharlebois709 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I thought two wire nuts counted as one? I read through my 2018 Canadian electrical code book and it says to count two wire nuts as one conductor size.

    • @craigmichaud-electricalins4602
      @craigmichaud-electricalins4602  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I am basing my video off the National Electrical Code 2014. This is very interesting as I knew there were some differences but was not aware of this. Honestly I dont understand why they are not counted as they still take up space in the box. Thank you for this info. Learned something new today!! CM

  • @skilltradesmanco.8636
    @skilltradesmanco.8636 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    So if it’s 3 internal clamps, they count as 1

  • @glennf5381
    @glennf5381 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    What if there were different size wire going in? What cubic inch number do you use as a multiplier for the yoke and clamps?

    • @michaelhinchey
      @michaelhinchey 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      You need to add a different size for each wire in the box. Unless its a ground. For the ground up to four you only count the largest ground in the box. Do not count splices or the device ground. For the yoke and the clamps it is double the largest wire attached to it per 314.16(B)(4). Hope that helped.

      I have this worksheet I was given asking. What size box is required for twelve #10 THW cooper conductors and ten #12TW copper conductors?

    • @rogertorrez1798
      @rogertorrez1798 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      How would I solve it?^

    • @craigmichaud-electricalins4602
      @craigmichaud-electricalins4602  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@rogertorrez1798 Okay all you have to do is go to the table talked about in the video and add all the wires up. For example a #12 is 2.25 x the number of wires and then do the same for the #10. Hope that helps!! CM
