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.

@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

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

@seanseanseanseansean I think thank you !

can 220 volt cause death

[DominickDiy]

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

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

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

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?

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