Hi there, I have an automatic transfer switch, hooked to a back-up generator. If I turn power off to main board, the generator will kick and it is like I havent done anything. How do I lock out a transfer switch so the generator won't come on?

Cool video.. I took electrical course at school and i forget half of these stuff.. Electrical no joke and thing happen and peoples died from this stuff. Doesn't matter how much year of experience you have, and you could still get shock and died. IFyou don't know what you doing on wiring, don't do anything otherwise you can blow the whole fuse box or even burn the place down.. .. Sh*T

[malimbestfilez]

Great guide, but you need to mention that this won't work for wiring a 220V Dryer and other equipment that uses both 110v and 220volts. In those circuits, you require to use 4 wires. 2 hot wires, one neutral and one ground.

Thanks man... You make it look easy! Peace

Great video man, thanks!!!

BROTHA!!!!! I BEEN PLAYING UR VIDEO OVER AND OVER AGAIN...

BROTHA !!!!! U LOOK LIKE "BEN BAILEY" FROM CASH CAB TV SHOW...

220v is no more danger than 110v, It's the amperage that go through you that will stop your heart. They transmit electricity at higher voltage to reduce the heat generated in the wires as higher volts mean lower amps therefore giving the same wattage. Ohm's Law Watts = Volts x Amps. That's why 30,000 volts isn't unusual in substations, they reduce the volts to 220/240 and then there will be more amps but the same amount of wattage. 110 milliamps is roughly what it take to stop your heart!!

So ground is going to be coming in white , neutral is the touching the box and a phase is black coming in? Can i get a quik response before i die?

[fl0r1svdk]

220v ac isn't that bad you realy need to be stupid to kill yourself with it

[pyrodownhiller]

haha 240v is standard in Australia, i had fun putting in 3 phase 415 v ;)

[truebassB]

Btw,i would care more about the condition of the place it will shock me than if the voltage is 110 or 220v. Double the voltage double the trouble as with a fixed resistance the ongoing current will be the double,but skin resistance varies inch by inch and minute by minute,on your finger you might be able to get killed by 50v household AC while 110v in your palm would be barely noticeable,the same as sweaty hands on 110v vs perfectly dry leg on 440.

[truebassB]

Don't forget that the 220v will be at 60hz while almost all the 220-250v AC devices are rated for 50hz,it will change the power and torque output to motors,etc but most of the devices will work just fine.

Thanks for doing this video. Very helpful. You're a good communicator.

[madddman1324]

this got me more interested in wanting to be an electrician. the only thing i fear is getting shocked. Accidentally ive gotten shocked by a regular 120 volt outlet and i can only imagine what a 220 volt outlet would feel like

[VooDooAssassin2]

hi i have a shop in my back yard and it at one point had a 220 volt wire running to it it has red white black and copper. It was cut by the previous owner and i have no idea what breaker in the house it is to turn it off. I also cant shut off the whole panel because other people in the house using power.

[MrFilmchen]

Hi there, I am a german electrician Master and I look a lot of this vids and every time it is a new adventure. You can't imagin how strong the German VDE-Rules are! Actualy I am a leader on a buildingside and today our electric savety officer had a look to our installation.

I thought we had some little problems. But when i will show this vid he get a mind blowout ;-)

But ohter countries other rules :-) one thing is good! u use the earth wire to protect the human.

btw. great video, thx

[givmedew]

I was scared to do this because when I went to install it and I saw that all the other ground wires where insulated and the range cable was just a bunch of uninsulated wires I got worried and didnt know what to do. After watching this video I was certain enough to connect it myself.

Also as for your comment about running the wire yourself. I definetely agree. That is actually what I had done first but then when the guy wanted $100 to install the breaker I said FORGET ABOUT IT!

[superdau]

Electricity is nothing to mess with. But I still find it funny how everyone in the US seems to think that 220 is a "killer" and 110 is "safer". Most of Europe runs 230 - 240. I came in "contact" with it 3 or 4 times in my life, and I still live to tell. Heck, we got several 400V 3-phase outlets in the basement for power tools.

The only time I hear of someone being electrocuted, it's idiots climbing trains and coming too close to the overhead line (which is a whole different league). ;)

[sarazbanjo]

Thanks!!!

[ronzandroid]

Right to the point. Safety drilled in. Why can't more DIY video's be like this. Thankyou.

[infidl]

Great vid! Thanks for putting in all the effort with these. I loved the "zap" sound-effect at the end. Coincidence, I was going to have a 220v line put in today for a new range, but at the 11th hour decided to go with gas. So now you're going to do a vid on tapping an existing gas line, putting in a new run, and hooking up a range, right? :-) Just kidding, way beyond me and probably illegal. Would make a fascinating vid though. Nice new studio you've got. Thanks again for all this work.

[DominickDiy]

@infidl Thank and glad I could help. Yeah that gas line idea is a good idea. I'll put that on the list. Thank you

[seanseanseanseansean]

Thanks for doing these videos for us. I watch a lot of these and have wired stuff and junk using your tips.

[DominickDiy]

@seanseanseanseansean I think thank you ! 

[wwe107]

Thanks. This would be a lot cheaper to run 12/2 over 200' to a garage for an air compressor or welder than using 6/3 or #2 for a 100 AMP Sub. I could probably run another 30 AMP sub the way the well sub panel is rather than splicing into the one 15 AMP for the air compressor (it doesn't start up enough on it's own using the 15 AMP outlet from the well sub panel). Thanks. THHN with conduit or direct bury?

[megawatts390]

@wwe107 You must now calculate voltage drop.

[jrschoaf]

Thanks agian Dominich, but please kill the background music.

[iamaGod357]

can 220 volt  cause death

[DominickDiy]

@iamaGod357 Can it yes, but the real danger is with any AC voltage and ground.

[carter102]

@iamaGod357 110V can cause death, although your chances of dying are not as great as 220V. 220V will cause severe burns if you survive.

[coryenderby]

Dominick Rocks!

[DominickDiy]

@coryenderby LOL, thank you.

[drychalice]

Excellent video

[DominickDiy]

@drychalice Thank you so much

[dynomike1964]

Thanks  big help.

[DominickDiy]

@dynomike1964 Glad I could help..

[ontap55]

great video..thanks

[DominickDiy]

@ontap55 Thank you. 

[EvaBongoria]

Keep the videos coming, brother.

It's honestly greatly appreciated. 

[DominickDiy]

@EvaBongoria I sure will. Now that I have a much bigger shop. I'm going to making a bunch more on how to make things from wood. Furniture type of stuff. Thanks again.

[goldcoast1100]

Direct Clear Complete Valuable. Thanks!

[DominickDiy]

@goldcoast1100 Thank you so much

[SkullOnRoses]

Finally something useful on YouTube! Thank you Dominic! Nice wall!

[DominickDiy]

@SkullOnRoses LOL well thank you. Yeah I did it with a green screen. First time..
