    For a non electrician nice work! Don't see much to criticize I was impressed you knew the difference between a sub panel and a main in reference to the ground and neutral.

    I was just talking about this to my husband bc we had no power for 3 days, but we were able to connect our fridge and freezers to our generator. We were one of only 2 neighbors that we know of who didn't lose all our cold food. I even offered up my half empty deep freezer space to some neighbors but they assumed the electric was coming on soon and so no one took up my offer. By day 3, they had to start throwing stuff away sadly! This 1 power outage made my generator pay for itself!

    I'm comfortable with doing electrical things in the house (switches, replacing outlets, installing new outlets, fans, chandeliers, fixtures, etc...)
    I stay away from the panel. I bought my electrician buddy 2 cases of beer to put one in.
    He put a 50 amp inlet box with 6/3 cable.
    I cooked some good steaks on the grill while he was working.

    In my opinion (you probably figured this out first time you used it) your inlet box is mounted too close to your service panel door. When you plug your generator cable in your inlet box you won't be able to access your breakers in your panel without disconnecting your generator cable first from the inlet box. Other than that, it's a nice job.

    Good video! Thanks for posting. I recently installed a 30 amp receptacle for my generator hook up. I searched everywhere for a n interlock to fit my panel. Could not find one so I made my own. Works well and does the job but it has no warning stickers. I'll need to post a sticker and instructions (what breakers to close, etc.) in the box for the generator hook up. Although this video doesn't really apply to the generator itself, I think it important to note the neutral bonding. In this video it is obvious you have a bond between neutral and ground at the panel. The bonding on the generator should be a floating neutral or bond.

    5:21 yes its hot up top and the main leads coming in are at the bottom , the red , white and black is what is feeding that box . you kept putting your hands wright next to them and you cut the Romex casing off 7:52 , I am still cringing just thinking about what could of happened , your very lucky and good luck opening the panel with the cable plugged in . By the way 9:19 those breakers already in the panel have a lot of copper showing , I'm surprised an inspector let that pass when the house was built our the box was updated, that's a sure sign there was no inspector I hope you used 10 / 3 and not 12/3 , just some constructive feedback.

  • @KingdomUploader

    I'm hearing folks refer to that Interlock thingy as a switch. I can't see that it is anything more than a safety measure, right? If all it does is lock out one breaker or another, then me over here, living alone and having an understanding of which breaker is which and if i know to always turn OFF the main first and when the power comes back on i know to turn the gen breaker off and the main back on?...i mean, isn't it just that simple? What am i missing on that front? Thanks

    • @SwellNelman
      @SwellNelman 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      You are correct- the interlock is a safety mechanism. But, the code requires it so that any future resident/user will not accidentally operate the panel in a way that causes a problem. You can’t assume (even) you will always remember to turn off the main power. So it is safety first.

    I ordered a generac system. Simple goes on your meter. Plug and play. Only problem for me is it will take 4 months to hook up. Our hydro company is way behind . It's a 15 min hook up . No switches nothing. I have a generator hook up but limited to certain circuits. With new system I can run whole house up to what my generator can handle. 9500 tri fuel generator is what I have.

    Wish you had shown a closeup of the generator male plug type and the new generator inlet female socket type.
    That detail is Online somewhere I’m sure.
    I have a generator
    Dunno if my city power IN breaker is a single power switch, like yours, or if I have extra breaker spaces adjacent to it for the lock-out plate and generator IN breakers but the brand new breaker box was installed in 2019.
    I have a 100 amp service, and no 220 power needs in my house, but I did add a 3 phase 220 power outlet, that is separate from the mains breaker box, just below it. Big round plug with the 3 locking 1/4 round 250v plug ears, it has a lever (leaf?) switch, for its outlet. I put it there in case I hook up a 220 volt trash pump, because I have a slab foundation (stone house built in 3 separate phases 1880-1940) and the ground behind my house is 6-8” higher than the floor is, 110 volt sump pump right where water could come in the adjacent back door. New gutters installed, and bingo, California gets a huge deluge, sump pump is barely needed now as a result!
    If not for the city power lock out, could that switched sub 220 box be also used as the power inlet for the generator? hence my plug type question,
    simpler if not safer to bring the generator IN power with that 220 switched sub box
    I think I’ll hire an electrician 🙂

    @michaelfunk5951 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    There's back feed on the grounded conductor even for lineman working the system to restore power. The correct way is to isolate the ground/neutral also not just turning it off at the main. Remember it's AC current not DC!

    • @LTVoyager
      @LTVoyager ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Not if the service entrance is installed correctly. The neutral and earth ground should be connected at the service entrance. The neutral is also connected to ground at each utility pole typically. So, there is no danger to the utility workers unless the service entrance wasn’t installed correctly or the ground connection has gone bad. Otherwise, this main lockout switch would not be a code compliant installation and this will pass inspection.

  • @atb2003
    @atb2003 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Romex should not be used inside of any conduit due to heat effect from the romex having a shedding around the wires. You also cannot remove the shedding and install the wires inside the conduit since the wires do not have identifying label on the wire itself which comes back to the same comment made on here requiring THHN wires.

      The buss bar alternates from the top down to the bottom in each breaker slot. A phase, B phase, A phase, B phase etc. When he installed the 2 pole or “double” breaker, it connected both the A and the B phase.

      I was curious about that. So it shouldn't matter if the 2 pole breaker is installed top or bottom?

    Gasoline engines are only a temporary solution (short term). Then there is the issue of storing dangerous gasoline. A Solar Generator can replace your Gasoline Generator, Its safe no harmful fumes and its quite no one will even know when you are using it to power the things you need. IMO I would throw all my disposable income toward a Solar generator, and use Gasoline only as a backup if it clouds up for more than a week.

      @@mannyfragoza9652 Vast majority of outages are short term (hours to 4 days) where gas will perform better and deliver more amps throughout the day. A TEOTWAWKI or SHTF event requires a different set of rules and investments. Solar is a fantastic option on the survival boards that I follow, but incredibly poor performing for 365 day-to-day power redundancy in a temperate climate.
