Good job. My house was built in 1983, same 100 amp service. Ran o0ut of circuits years ago. Last year, I had a new 200 amp panel installed but kept the 100 amp service. Just too expensive to upgrade the wiring from the electrical provider. It's a small house anyway so not a big load. I also had a whole house gfci breaker installed and the electrical hookup for my generator. Fortunately, I haven't needed the generator yet but it can be used if needed.

@electricianron_New_Jersey 2 года назад

For the solar, it's likely going to be a back-feeding situation which would wold be 40, or a 50amp circuit breaker back feeding onto the busbar. For the generator too it would be a bit more complex because you have "lock out" the DC from the solar and prevent it from back-feeding onto the standby generator.

@bluegizmo1983 Год назад

Man, my house could sure use a complete rewiring. But it would damn near cost more than the entire house is worth! This house is a three bedroom plus a large den that was also converted to 4th bedroom. The house was built in the 60's or 70's I believe, and it only has a 100A panel. To make matters worse, my bedroom (the large converted den) which uses quite a bit of power as I also have a small server rack in my room, is ran on a single 15A breaker along with most of the kitchen and the outdoor patio area! Most rooms in this house seem to have at least one or two outlets that share breakers with other random rooms. It's almost getting yo the point these days that if your a handy DIY guy, you might as well just go get your electrical certifications so you can "legally" do the work yourself, as it would probably end up being cheaper lol

Actually The company “General Electric” is one of the bestest electrical panel manufacturers although they feel like they’re junk. Also the bestest electrical panel manufacturers are Square D, and General Electric. but the company “ eaton“, they make kind of middle of the road electrical panels and breakers. I am A kid and my name is Caleb and I really like doing electrical work. Once when I was visiting my grandma Bob came and was fixing electrical issues in her garage I came to help Bob , I saw a burnt reseptical and plugged in a plug tester and it said that the hot and neutral wires were switched around and I fixed it.And if you were wondering who’s Bob,Bob is a person that goes around and fixes problems in peoples’ homes. also I am 9 years old.

In New Jersey it is a state law to not have to pay your contractor in full until after final inspection. There’s no specified amount but for me it’s usually the cost of the permit.

I like to see electrical services and the differences between countries, it's always good to learn. It took several videos to understand the acronym GFCI, I had to use Google. Where I live, the acronym is IDR, which in Brazilian Portuguese goes to "interruptor diferencial residual" which only acts on leakage current and DDR, which in Brazilian Portuguese goes to "disjuntor diferencial residual" which acts by leakage, overload or short and both are installed in the electrical panel.

@aaron74 Год назад

Over in the UK, they use the acronym RCD, or residual current device. Seems "residual" is the preferred word outside North America

@lazaruslazuli6130 Год назад

Great video, my only concern is that when you removed the meter, there were no safety blockouts or anything to protect someone from the live lugs where the power came into the box from the service weatherhead. That meter box was exposed for 8 to 10 hours and someone could have come along and come into contact with energized components. Or, you could have had the power company disconnect the house's feed lines from the transformer.

@electricianron_New_Jersey Год назад

I was there the entire time working with my van parked 10' away from the work area. I appreciate your concern for safety and if someone came along and poked their hands inside an electrical meter I kinda feel they deserve what they get for being stupid.

I love your videos. Thank you for sharing, very thorough and down to point. Btw, I have to research what year the NEC began requiring 20 amp circuits for bathrooms, but I remember when I was a young boy, my mother having a hair dryer that was like 1500 to 1600 watts, that wattage seemed very common in the 1990s when I was a child, then later on, like around the late 90s/ early 2000s, 1875 watt hair dryers became very common and now that seems to be the de facto wattage, except for the smaller, travel style dryers. I kinda feel that's one reason the code no longer allows 15 amp circuits for bathrooms like the 1980s home in this video. What are your thoughts on this matter?

@electricianron_New_Jersey Год назад

The individual branch circuit became a requirement I believe in the 1999 NEC but I could be wrong. It was long overdue and was a good update. I get calls often of overloaded existing circuits because of blow dryers/ curling irons etc.

Hello Ron, I have this confusion. When you have a main panel with 100 amp, does that mean you have a capacity of pulling 100amp on each leg? So a total of 200 amp (theoretical) useable capacity? Or is it that, between two legs you can pull a combined load of 100 amp? And how does it work when you have 3-legs/phase?

@RandomTechWZ Год назад

Do you find most wiring from the pole is adequate for 200a service or does that usually need to be upgraded?

@electricianron_New_Jersey Год назад

Zach that’s always up to the utility company. Here, in New Jersey, once the upgrade is approved a cut-in card is sent by the inspector to the utility company notifying them of the service upgrade. If I ever come across a dangerous service drop from the street I would call the utility myself to explain the danger and a crew usually comes out as quickly as possible.

Doesnt the ground wire grounded to the box have juice flowing through it as well?

@nathangalvez9642 Год назад

my question as well!

@electricianron_New_Jersey Год назад

The underground service here was live. Once the meter is pulled the load side of the service become unenergized and I am able to work safely. At the end of the day when the work is complete the meter is re-installed and power is restored. If you are unsure how to do any of this work you should seriously consider hiring a licensed and insured professional electrician.

I saw another video in which the electrician mentioned that with some high tech meters, if you disconnect it, a signal is sent to the electric company and they may send someone out to check.

Nice 👍 you wouldn’t happen to have part number of those Arlington connectors would you? Those are amazing especially if you’re adding a circuit in a rocked wall and avoid cutting it

I am looking at having this done at my home. What is a ball park figure to do something like this? I personally have an outdoor 100 amp panel I would like to change to 200 amp.

Any main panel upgrade I’ve ever installed always requires a new pair of ground rods installed. I didn’t see any grounding conductor installed at all on the panel.

explained a couple of times in previous responses to comments similar to yours. Happy reading!

they won't allow that interlock in Canada due to it can be defeated by simply removing panel cover , I wish they would tho its the easiest , cheapest way to do a generator panel and ya can use any circuit ya want

@electricianron_New_Jersey Год назад

The generator breaker is also mechanically attached to the enclosure so you cant remove it easily.

@TheCaperfish Год назад

@@electricianron_New_Jersey yes I'm referring to the interlocking plate ya can buy (or make yourself for like $1.00 ) that bolts to the panel cover so you can convert your existing panel to a generator panel . No need to replace or add a transfer switch sub panel , but of course if yer upgrading the panel that is the time to put in an actual generator panel .

@chomp54321 Год назад

Nice job on the inside of the panel! So the cables from the utility can already support 200A? Is that always the case?

@Rysdad1 8 месяцев назад

Does it matter where the ground and neutrals are attached in the panel or just the power to the correct breakers?

@electricianron_New_Jersey 8 месяцев назад

Yes.

Being that I'm from NJ, I'm curious about something specific. I thought if you pulled a panel to replace it, code required that you put AFCI breakers in for all bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom circuits. Did this not happen just because a permit wasn't pulled to do the work, or because it wasn't new construction?

@electricianron_New_Jersey Год назад

A service upgrade (which is what this is) falls under the NJ Rehabilitation Sub Code and that does not require AFCI circuit breakers. www.nj.gov/dca/divisions/codes/codreg/

@Leviathan609 Год назад

@electricalron so if I go from 160 amp service to 200 amp service, I don't need to upgrade breakers? That's pretty nice. That was the one thing that was preventing me from upgrading my panel, since I thought I needed to drop 2K on AFCI for the whole house. I'll have to reconsider the panel upgrade now.

@bjmclain01 Год назад

What model/part#'s did you use for the breaker panel and interlock kit?

@electricianron_New_Jersey Год назад

I dont have the number in front of me but it's the 150A - 200A interlock kit made by Eaton Cutler Hammer BR! Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
