"Stay safe, take care, do good electrical work, and take care of each other."
"Whenever you're going to be adding a subpanel, always add the largest panel that is practical to afford. If you were thinking that you needed six circuits, make sure you put in at least a 12 circuit because you're always gonna need more than you thought you were going to need."
"Somehow you decided that cutting it at a half inch away from the plug was your best course of action."
"We're back to the dismay of actual electricians across the world."
"Whenever you're dealing with power cables make sure that the voltage is going to work."
"If you're unsure about what you're doing, don't work on it because there is a shock hazard. So if you're following along, you're doing so at your own risk. Just take care."
"It's our job as electricians to always try to minimize risk or eliminate risk because it's either that or you just your kid doesn't have a dad anymore."
"You want to make it safe for your electrician when he gets to the job site. He should be able to know exactly what turns this off, exactly what turns this switch box off, exactly which two breakers turn off this 12-3."
"Safety first, my friends. Always prioritize safety when working with mains voltage."
"Friends, don't forget to turn off the power from your breaker before you work on any electrical."
"Electricians are like, 'Who wired this panel? This is Jerry Rigged!'"
"I'm going to show you how to go from Joe Blow to wiring like a pro."
"Get that out of the way, and that exposes your positive and your negative wire."
"Enter an enclosure with extreme caution that we don't know is completely isolated from the supply."
"The first clue that you're overloading a wire nut is it's going to be very hard to get all of the wires to actually seat up inside of the wire nut."
"Wire nuts when done properly are one of the cheapest and most effective ways to join wires."
"So in my opinion, the first step in adding electricity to a shed is just to call a local electrician."
"So I'm using these in junction boxes, I'm using them in receptacle boxes, I'm using them just about anywhere."
"So he added an outlet so I could have a real lamp in this corner and I made a pleated lamp shade."
"Before you touch anything, make sure the power is completely off to everything that you're gonna be working on."
"On a double pole circuit breaker like this, there are a couple of ways you can handle this, but to make things simpler as far as color coding, I decided to install the neutral and the line, which is the black right into the circuit breaker itself."
"So the bottom row in this case is the incoming power. The right terminal is your ground. The middle terminal is your line or the power source. And then the left terminal is the neutral."
"I am not a licensed electrician, I am just a handy homeowner."
"To find the wire that's coming into the back of the breaker box, you're going to find that 30 amp breaker and then trace that wire back to where it comes out here and you'll have a corresponding 10/2 with a ground wire."
"...go ahead and turn off the power whenever you're opening up an electrical box like this that maybe potentially has a loose connection inside or you know has high voltage, kill your power first."
"So I'm connected to run in common with my alligator clips which coincidentally on rusty terminals makes a big difference because you get more contact points can be really tricky to do it with just the terminals."
"If you couldn't splice service conductors you know these are service entrance conductors coming out of the house and they're spliced to the service drop or to the overhead service conductors so you can splice service conductors that's fine."
"I'm not a trained electrician although I would consider myself a competent person to install such a light fitting."
"When you see the voltage is no longer present, you'll know the right circuit breaker has been found."
"So when you're connecting all this wiring together you're going to need something called a lug or a ring terminal or also a ferrule."
"A wire Tracer can help you quickly and easily locate wires that are hidden behind walls, ceilings, and floors."
"It can also help you identify which circuits are energized and which are not."
"I grouped these sockets in such a way that I had three different groups with three different circuit breakers."
"The most important part to doing electrical work is safety."
"So as soon as the light starts riding up a little bit it senses that you might have voltage on your neutral which you shouldn't you can't it's supposed to be bonded to your ground."
"Your new socket doesn't have to be at the same height as your old one."
"Just make sure you're getting your wire nut nice and tight make sure the wires are even."
"So now I'm just going to remove it from the GFCI outlet and make sure that the standard outlet that's downline is still getting power as well."
"I can crimp as hard as I want because I don't have any other insulation in the way."
"if this is disconnected and it's not connected to the panel in any way, then you can safely work on the rest of your system knowing that there's not going to be any accidental situations where the breaker is going to get turned on because the wire is not even in the panel yet."
"To really do this right get yourself a little bit of dielectric grease too. It's really cheap. Put that on each one of the tabs when you're plugging them in."
"If you need any more wires in it than that you're going to have to step up to a 22.5 cubic inch box."
"It takes the fear out of doing your own electrical."
"...I just thought this would create a more finished look if I ever do want to add electrical to the cabin."
"i finally got that conduit that was way too damn high at home depot but the goal is for this is to have the positive run through here negative run through here and the data going back and forth from the battery pack to the front where the the motor controllers are"
"...we've got my gloves on, I've carried out safe isolation, I've done my safe to touch, and I've got my fuse out there so I'm all ready."
"Once you have that panel established with a ground and a neutral, this is how you would move loads over."
"Test light is invaluable. It's simple, it's great, it works."
"I'm gonna move my negative lead of the meter from the negative post of the battery over to the positive, so I'm going to do that as I go around and we'll see what the changes are."
"So, we want to make sure that no outlets are miswired, reverse neutral ground, things of that nature."
"First thing you're going to want to do is you're going to want to put the three base wires together and make sure that they are straight."
"Hopefully that made this chart here make a whole lot more sense and you're willing to tackle the electrical yourself."
"...I'll just show you guys in the fuse box what I've wired off."
"It was a pleasure, given the amount of work you had put into this and how neat you were with the wiring."
"So the first thing I do obviously is make all my make all my splices and then tuck them away into the top box there put that box extension on there on each of these boxes and uh there's enough room inside these conductors for a safe code compliant installation."
"...hope you've learned something about wiring and stop being afraid of it because it's actually very um rewarding."
"I love wiring, a lot of our fans do as well."
"Always remove the ground first and reattach the ground last when working on the electrical system."
"Love obviously using this when I'm changing outlets and or wiring up any new anything new that requires a shutdown at the circuit breaker."
"That is a good solder joint; you could put heat shrink on that, you could do whatever, and I cannot pull it apart."
"I love using these Wago wire connectors; they come in various ports, they're very easy to use, you just pretty much open up the lever, insert your wire, and then close it."
"Please don't undertake any electrical work unless you are supervised or you have the right equipment and knowledge."
"Everything's correct, heat-shrink, tinned copper; there's not going to be any issues in this wire job for a long time."
"Make sure that you cut the power before doing any electrical work."
"If you take your time and do a good job and do a little bit of research, you will have a good solid connection that will never ever fail."
"Done with the front bumper, do a little bit of wiring, and call it a night."
"For those who have come here to learn a little bit of trailer wiring and some DC electrical, I hope this has helped you."
"This one I'm going to talk about the tools that you should have day one as an electrical apprentice."
"There's no better feeling than when you isolate that crank handle and the lights go off."
"Make sure that you disconnect your battery before you go working on it."
"A multimeter is a general-purpose tool for electrical work."
"I think these are an essential tool for doing any electrical work around the house."
"We go through miles and miles of wire, thousands of dollars with the wire. Wire is very expensive."
"Safety first, always unplug your machine."
"What hooked me to electrical is turning on a light switch... running the wire from beginning to end, putting in a fixture, putting in a switch and flipping it on in front of a customer. You don't get a better reaction, you don't get a better feeling."
"This is just perfect right here, this cutout around these breakers, I think it just looks really professional."
"Talking trades, we're talking electrical, it was a fantastic day."
"Before you do any of this work, disconnect the negative terminal from the battery, you know, just make sure everything's de-energized and it's just gonna be a little safer that way."
"Luckily, I had an electrical friend who helped me out, and we managed to switch the wires."
"It is important to disconnect all power from all devices while doing any wiring."
"Before you start working on the electrical of anything, make sure that your machine or whatever you're working on is unplugged."
"We are all wired up, we are all reassembled, good clean job."
"If you want to be a good electrician, you have to both understand how to install things and understand code."
"Always unplug before working on anything."
"It's unplugged, always make sure it's unplugged."
"Always make sure that you're always up to date with your electrical codes and make sure that you have the proper permit before starting any type of electrical work."
"If you are uncomfortable in any way working with any electrical work, make sure that you hire a professional and certified electrician."
"The first thing before we touch any power is very important to know: if you're not comfortable doing this type of work, it's strongly advised that you use a licensed electrician."
"I probably did since I've owned the house 20 grand in electrical upgrades, but I did it for maybe a couple thousand over the years."
"We're gonna start running some wiring, and we'll be able to fire this thing up here in a little bit."
