Really nice explanation.. All parts were nicely & patiently explained.. The repeating of important points during videos was very helpful for a layperson like me.. It gives more confidence & better understanding of the concept. I am less afraid of the electricity box now 😊. Thank you sooo much 👍👍🙏🙏
Thanks for the pointers. After reviewing several hours of DIY videos (such as yours), I was able to install my tesla gen 2 HWPC. It was a total pain in the..... but still saved me about 1k doing it myself. I'm going back to all the videos that I was able to get some key information and leaving a "thank you".
@@chezchezchezchez I had zero electrical experience so I had to start from the very basics. I downloaded the install instructions from Tesla then whatever questions I had, I simply "googled" or "youtube'd" for answers. I had to buy all new tools since I didn't have any. I ended up doing a lot of overkill on my setup....I used 6gauge wire which really wasn't necessary..... used a 240 load circuit breaker which was also overkill. It took about 1 week of research.....2 weeks for parts to show up from from home depot (wire and circuit breaker) and maybe 8hrs for the actual install. After installing, I do recommend having an electrician come by and have everything checked out.
@@rmcfadde1 The electrician charges $120 to show up, and $80 an hour. If I’m gonna have them just check it out, I might as well have him install the damn thing. Right?
@@chezchezchezchez In my case, the install was going to cost $1400... that wasn't the issue. The issue was they were backed up by 3 months....I didn't want to wait that long....I was ready to drive/charge my car asap. If you are driving a 40k-80k vehicle... just pay the $120 or $200 to have your electrician do a buddy check..... or don't!! Like I said, I didn't know what I was doing so I felt I needed the double check. Good Luck and take care!
He is working on a sub-panel. Grounds and neutral must be separate in a sub, but nit in a main panel. Some inspectors want the breakers to be made by the panel manufacturer,
It's a really minor issue, but a picky inspector might fail a DIYer for installing the NEMA 14-50 receptable upside down or for putting it too close to the floor. Ground terminal should be at the top of the receptacle, not the bottom. This is so that the range/dryer plug cable will go down towards the floor when installed correctly hence why it has to be a minimum height above the floor. Since this was installed so close to the floor, I suspect it was installed upside down on purpose so the plug's cable would go up instead.
as an experienced electrician i say everything he says is right but would never send people operating this equipment without proper qualifications, youtube is great for diy ers but some stuff is too risky to try from this video alone
What is too risky about this? As long as you make sure nothing is hot as you work on it, this is not rocket science. Yes, there are other electrical repair/installs that are more complicated/dangerous but this sure isn't one of them.
@@Redandranger dont know where you are from but where i am we understand that even after a successful installation over time problems may occur, there’s a code to go by, wiring methods . this video alone doesn’t say everything. i know the bill can be high but at this point make sure a professional is performing the work. i use youtube to learn stuff and when i do i watch more than one video, that way i make sure i know what i’m doing
Good overview. 1. The ground/neutral does not come from the electrical company. It comes from the ground stake into the ground. 2. General Electric and Siemens are not compatible. May fit bit not approved UL method and should fail inspection. 3. May want to lockout the main to prevent a family from switching it on while you work.
The neutral come from the transformer of the electrical company. The ground is a wire connected to a cupper rod or a water pipe which are in the ground at least 2 feet. 2. It is incorrect. GE breaker is preferable but not a must. I had an inspector. Any breaker sold in US must be according to the electrical standard In the US. 3. The house was empty, if it was not I would locked the box.
Joseph K thanks for the response! Sorry it is a matter of perspective. I see often the neutral bonded to the ground at the service entrance. / As for the breakers unlisted on the panel label, I did not know of the other allowable provision you stated.
Good video. I have a 3 car garage/ man cave fully insulated, ceilings too and even the garage doors. Garage is about 660 sq ft with 8ft celing hight. The lowest tempature during Christmas will be 37 degrees farenhight. My questions is if I install a 5000-7000w electric heater, I have to installed a 240v outlet too right or it can be just hardwired?? Eventually I will buy a minisplit system and be getting rid of the electric heater. Will I be able to use the 240v outlet previously installed for electric heater when I install mini split in future?? Also we will be getting an electric car down the road so I will need a 240v outlet to charge car so what will be the correct pathway for my projects, install a 240v right now for electric heater so I have heater in man cave before Christmas or maybe just use propane heater just for that day🙄 until I figure out what minisplit system to buy?? Sorry for all the questions
Great video! I have electric stove 40 amp breaker. However the cable is 4 wire just like the one u have on video, I was wandering is it ok to live it like it's?
Joseph. Very nicely done video! There are a couple issues you may want to address. Even though we all know Siemens breakers and GE breakers will fit in the other panels, a Siemens breaker was not tested not listed for use in a GE panel. Therefore a violation of NEC. Also, must follow written instructions from the manufacturer. GE will not tell you ok to install Siemens. I'm not sure why you think Siemens breakers are better than GE. The second thing is, NEC and manufacturers tell you do not put two neutral wires in the same hole in the neutral bar. This has been found to cause loose connections, arcing, and melted insulation. It is ok for the ground conductors though. Hoping this helps you. Please be safe, the life you save may be your own. Respectfully, Kevin
Thank you for the input. You can put Siemens breakers in GE panel. There is a standard for breaker that companies follows. Regarding put two neutral wires in the same hole I agree it will be better.
Kevin Coop can you provede the NEC article number if you're so kind? I'm studying the NEC book and would be great to gather that information. Thanks in advance
Ramiro Rosiles I am very happy to guide you. I am referencing NEC 2017. The first part of my comment is about listings. Please read all of 110.3, (A), (B), and (C). Equipment must be installed as listed meaning as it was tested. And also per manufacturers written instructions. As far as the second comment about neutral(grounded conductor) terminations in panelboards, please read 408.41. I hope this helps. Respectfully, Kevin
Awesome thank you very much im actually putting a shore power for my motorhome & its 240v 50 amps and i have a dog bone which converts my 50 amps to 30 amps so when i follow your installation proses i should have power from my breaker box to my 240v 50 amp outlet thank you very much for your video your a very good electrition ill be instslling to day just one question what guage was those wires? And can i find it at home depot? Thanks & God Bless you.
good job..howver, i dont think you want to the hot wires too short on the breaker. having the plastic too far in could cause arcing and therefore overheating on the cable sheeting
Not true. The cable is 50 Amps cable. The maximum current that Range can take is $40 Amps. This cable only start to get hot if the current will go over 50 Amps. But if current is going over 50 Amps the breaker will break the circuit (disconnect power.) By the way the insulation of the wire is fire resistance.
When you're testing to see if the line conductors are energized you tested between the two hots. Wouldn't the voltage be 0 there even when they are energized since they're both at 120V?
By the way, both hot lines should be about 120 volts to neutral. Ground has nothing to do with it, other than that if there's a big potential difference between ground and neutral, you have a screwed-up electrical installation.
What do you do if you don’t have a switch outside next to the meter to turn off the power? Can’t you just turn off the main switch within the circuit breaker panel?
I did not have main switch in the circuit breaker panel that turn off electricity to the panel. If you have a main breaker switch that shout off electricity to the panel you should use it. After you turn off electricity to the panel You must verify that there is no electricity in the panel !!.
Should a 50 amp breaker be used for most ranges? And a 6/3 wire? I have a standard 30” GE Range but it doesn’t specify what to use in the user’s manual
You should use 6/3 wire. Usually a range will take maximum 40 Amp when all heads are on. You breaker should be slightly above 40 Amps which is 50 Amps.
thank you for this video i am now ready to install a 50 amp outlet for my 50 amp motorhome now to find out what size wire i need to do the connection ? ...
ok, I know this video is over two years old but I had a question anyways. anyone can answer for me if t hey know. my Sisters house. its an electric range circuit. it has a 50 amp breaker I wish to replace and the wire on this video appears to be the same size as the one on my sisters house. it is aluminum. the draw of the range is 47.9 amps when everything is on full blast. the wire appears to be the same size but also it might be 6 gauge aluminum. if it is 6 gauge double pole breaker, is this wire ok for the range? also, is the size of the wire you are using 4 gauge or 6 gauge copper?
@@josephk9182 No it isn’t. Your indooor panel is a sub panel. The primary disconnect outside is the main panel. In the outside panel, the neutrals and grounds would be bonded together. On a sub panel they are not bonded. If you didn’t have a disconnect outside, your breaker box would be the main panel and the grounds and neutrals would be bonded together.
VERY dangerous to stand that multi meter where you did! your fingers were VERY close to the left side buss bar. AND the top of the meter is practicly leaning on it. ALWAYS treat that panel like it was HOT! Flagg

Dry wood is a poor conductor and a good electrical insulator. If the wood is dry it should add quite a bit of resistance in the electrical path back to ground.

Not an issue at all.
