How to install a new circuit breaker

[ARTOFPATIENCE]

[intercourseflavor]

thanks for the excellent lighting cant see a damn thing

[krackerlives]

aim high electrical look for us on you tube

[ejaime55]

This is the Blair Witch style of installing a breaker!

[hoagtech]

God you fuckin nerd. Speak up. I cant hear or see a damn thing. Thumbs Down

[francblack]

you're kidding right ? Can't hear, can't see ... what's the point ?

[alwaysthetomboy]

too dark :(

more light homie

[Generation3electric]

We just made an up dated version the is not as dark

[kinscoe]

Video is too dark

[akbarblanchet]

@eddie1278 i don't see why not. anyone can be anything if they put their minds to it.

I'm installing a 220V 3 prong 30amp outlet in my garage to run a welder. I bought 10/2 to save some money over 10/3 wire since I couldn't use the ground wire since I'm using a plastic box. I was going to wrap the white wire with black electrical tape to designate wire being hot and using the ground wire as the common/neutral wire. Would this be an acceptable approach (within code) or do I need to go buy 10/3?

[jessestylex]

install 2 breakers in a panel already covered with drywall. wanna see what it involves.

[ve2zzz]

Looks like this video was produced in the USA... In Canada, this is sightly different: The Neutrals have their own bus-bar and the grounds have their own, screwed on the metal case. and THEN, the Neutral bus-bar is tied to the metal case (ground) at a single point. Both measures are as efficient as the other one but regulations are different and you have to stick to the regulations.

[boyjuicebox]

Neutrals should be seperate as well, under its own screw!

[waterfordjim]

....This one time, I was masturbating and I had a real money shot. The projectile ejaculation covered my breakers, tripped EVERY circuit on the service panel and I was left standing in the dark, holding my happy man-meat..... DAMNIT....

[Ezzequiel2517]

Hey, wsup... I bought an old house which has no circuit panel box... All the wiring goes to a box that has 2 fuses, and a lever if so I would want to cut power to the entire house... How do I wire it in order for each room to get a separate circuit breaker?... Do I have to discard the old cables and run new lines for each room?

[Fatherscouse]

@Ezzequiel2517 Hi Ezze, check the total ampage coming into your property if it's less than a 100 amps then if I were you I'd call a qualified electrician. As you will need to have a heavy up done and that needs permits pulled. You may want to get 200 amp panel and heavy up installed this way your house will have more than enough power for any future remodelling. Also check the condition of your existing wires they may not need to be replaced (unless they are Aluminium).

[MrTodd198126]

What a mess, hardly any sleeving insulation on the earths.

[U124IXB]

how about a bit more light on the subject.

[timehrhart01]

what would happen if you switched the wires up and ran black to the ground bar and put wite on the breaker?

[wiley0714]

He should turn on the breaker and use the power to make all you whining bitches a nice hot cup of shut the .... up!

[tonyandlyn]

Hi Mr Eletrical Pro =)

I'm intalling a double oven that requires at least a 40amp outlet. Right now I have a 8 guage black, white, and ground electrical line for a 50amp line. would you be able to show us Youtubers how to install a 50 amp breaker or 240volt using just the black, white, and ground. Also on the outlet end how to add a red line to accept the 4 prong outlet. thanks very much.

[discgolfer33500]

this is to eelnitsud. why dont you go and work for the pmrc or the fcc. its information you dont want out there. what are you the electric police?

[redsquirrelftw]

Good to see you turned off the power. I see people do this stuff live all the time in the corporate world because they don't want to incur downtime. While it can be done live safely, it's just not worth the risk.

[eelnitsud]

An electrician with any sence would not make a how-to video for any dumbass to watch and feel confident to try it, You should know the danger this work entails enough not to promote people to learn electrical work from your ratty how to video. Dumbass

[dinoLomedico]

Turn the lights on and thank u for the videa

[kcphotoman1]

First rule of "how to" video production. Turn on a freakin' light! Actually that's the second rule. Take of the lens cap is rule one. At least you got that one Mr. Spielberg!

[glenwoofit]

Don't you do any testing to make sure the circuit your installing is safe to energise? Like Whats the insulation resistance or Earth fault loop impedance, whats the disconection time for the device, Is the device correct (i.e the overload curve) for the circuit, Over here in the UK their would be 4 x A4 size pages of test results, Can anyone play at being an electrician in the US?

[vinnykilgannon]

very dark for a electrican video lol

[gregs238]

call an electrical contractor

[djozonegyds]

That's also the way I put in breakers, does not matter if their in or not . 85% of all existing panel have the grounds and nuetrals in the same bus. That and if you shake from being nervous while working in a hot panel get away from it.

[mdcorreia]

The grounds in the same bar as the neutrals? Where is this?

In 40 years, it is the first time I see somebody inserting a wire to the breaker while the breaker is not inserted in!

Strange stuff! Where is all this?

[AKA27ish]

aahhahaahahahahaha this guy is gonna kill someone hahahahaha

[AKA27ish]

never seen this done b4 in my life hahahaahaha

[FriscoDuck415]

That's done all the time; I was trained that way. But, you're more experienced than I am. So, maybe everyone I've seen do it and who trained me isn't doing it right.

[southeast40]

that service looked fairly new to have the ground and the neutral bonded like that. newer services, installed to NEC standards, are not to have the neutral and ground wires bonded. how old is this existing panel? i hate having to go into an older home just to find out that there's nothing but a 2 wire circuit without a ground wire. it's almost nerve racking!

[lesure4]

Please Re-Do this video I need to see just what you are doing. So I can learn from you. I have to move into a new house asap and I know I will have to make some chnages fast

[ganjar420]

Do breakers just click in liek that ?

[southeast40]

residential breakers are normally just pushed into the panel. they're pretty secure though. you have to literally be trying to pull it off for it to come loose.

[SumDumGuy2]

It's so dark in the video,  why didn't you just turn on the lights?

[realterm123]

Damn video is too dark.

[sparky1234]

love how non-electricians have to throw there two cents out there and try to impress with there knowledge, or lack of. I could throw stuff out there none of you have heard of but why? It's a simple straight forward landing of a homerun. He did a fine job. Even if the breaker was hot he's using a Klein screw driver that is insulated preventing shock.

[dustinfromak]

I love kleins, there fucking expensive as shit though.!

[knighcs66]

get a tripod, a light, and speak up, this is a waste of time

[Boonehillbilly]

ever hear of a flashlight?

[rhblakeman]

You can install a breaker on a hot panel, you have to be wary of the aluminum bus bars in the middle that the breaker snaps onto though. Even if the main is off the ungrounded mains at top are hot so you have to work away from where the fat wires come down to the main breaker attachments. One thing out of sequence - test the circuit then install the cover panel - that way you can see arcs and sparks if they occur. Anyone that has no idea what is in the panel should leave it to an electrician

[tiredofallvideos]

I can't see and I can't hear. Does anybody making these video's actually watch them themselves.

[ericktol]

Great Video Thanks for your help, but i was wondering if you have a video showing us how to install brakers for a domesticall use since the begining thanks an regards from mexico

[sparkyUonline]

That looks to be a "sub panel".If so- you cannot have the neutrals and grounds landed on the same bar.The neutral bar should be isolated from the metal of the panel and the ground bar should be mounted directly to the can.The only place the neutrals and grounds can be connected is at the service.

[Generation3electric]

You are absolutely right. If this panel happened to be a sub-panel, the grounds would be connected to a separate bar than the neutrals. This panel in the video is a main panel, not a sub-panel though.

[bigsidewalk]

@sparkyUonline you are rigth(ibew 11)

[mannhand]

Can somebody please give this man a flash light or something? You cant see anything the video is to dark.

[minutemuffler]

sure is dark in there for a damn electrician

[GregA64]

Was that a Hot Panel or did you kill the main?

[hardyfan215]

he had to kill the main or he could have died

[koalathekid]

no it's just a breaker. he just has to leave it switched "off" nothing major would happen unless he touched the wrong things. and he looks compitent enough not too.

[southeast40]

he should have worked it hot to prove that it could be done that way. LOL. no, seriously, it's best to shut it down at the main. but it would have been fun to see him shake from being nerevous!
