I like watching new installs but really respect seeing existing stuff and the upgrade process. Also really enjoy your discussion during the videos talking through what's happening for non-electrician people like me.

@electricianron_New_Jersey 3 месяца назад

I’m glad you enjoy the videos. I never knew how much people would appreciate these videos.

@garycunningham8478 12 дней назад

Good to know. I thought you had to change the whole thing out. Thanks for the help

@FrontRowOrBust 3 месяца назад

Perfect way to end the weekend, another upload from Ron👌

@electricianron_New_Jersey 3 месяца назад

you're da man BRO, always nice things to saY!

@mackfisher4487 3 месяца назад

Great job Ron, You follow the code do the best job possible in the shortest amount of time and show respect for the customers property. Your videos are entertaining and hopefully keep a few do-it-your selfer's out of trouble.

@Michael-qv9ku 3 месяца назад

Hey Ron, what are your thoughts on flipping the panel upside down so that main breaker is at the bottom. I know a lot of people have mixed feelings about doing that. I just don’t see it done enough with a lot of people. Great job as always, love the content.

@richc3437 3 месяца назад

I really enjoy watching your videos especially the panel upgrade videos. In this video, I noticed that the surge protector is installed below one of the breakers. I have a Square D panel with an installed surge protector. Square D wants the surge protector installed in the top position in the panel. It's interesting that Cutler Hammer doesn't have the same requirement. Does it really matter where it's placed in the panel? Keep up the great work. I am really glad that you are back to publishing more frequently on RU-vid. Your is one of my favorite channels.

@Merescat 3 месяца назад

I "think" surge protector is to be installed as close to the main breaker as possible / practical.

Thx for video. I enjoy watching all Your panel upgrades. It doesn’t get old 😂

Persuade the panel into place-love that one. Great job Ron. 👍now game 7 tonight! Love my hockey also, unfortunately I’m a Rangers fan for too many years.

@TheTubejunky 2 месяца назад

One of the code reqs for home power systems (battery backups) when installed in the garage are required to have heat sensors installed that communicate with the homes smoke/carbon monoxide detectors.

@electricianron_New_Jersey 2 месяца назад

@@TheTubejunky oh yeah? What’s the NFPA section?

@TheTubejunky 2 месяца назад

I think it's actually part of the building code but the electrical inspector says the Building inspector isn't looking for that (or WON'T) so it's up to the electrical to cite it. Also the batteries when installed in the garage must have 3hr burn ratings on the drywall. Not sure of the codes sections but this was from two different inspectors on the East Coast.

@Lucio.. Месяц назад

Good job Ron .curious,So that meter that was there was a 200 amps ? And how the you find out that the service was good for a 200 amp panel? Thanks

@nickk05281982 3 месяца назад

That is crazy how they ran your service drop inside that socket. I have never seen a crew run it backwards lol

@nickk05281982 3 месяца назад

Plus because of inductance we aren’t even supposed to cross the load side wires

Man you're a beast! keep on grinding dude!

@andrewteichman6939 3 месяца назад

Forgive me if you covered this in the past but can you explain your system for keeping track of the circuits, also which requires what breaker. Is it all by wire size? Do you label circuits or run around to see what turned on/off to relabel? It seems effortless for you and I could see getting bogged down in the bowl of spaghetti. Thanks.

@fiehlsport 3 месяца назад

Is that a Kia EV9 in the thumbnail? Just got one - 48 amps is definitely a requirement for this huge 100kWh battery!

It might be.

I love your videos Ron but I'm going to say you're supporting the wrong team. I think the Oilers are going to take the cup tonight in game 7. Nonetheless, keep up the great content.

@electricianron_New_Jersey 3 месяца назад

The home ice will be the difference. Florida will jump out to a 3-0 lead and hang on to win 3-2.

@rainmaker3700 3 месяца назад

You can run SEC exposed like that into the bottom of the meter enclosure in Jersey?

@howardrfrank 3 месяца назад

also was surprised to see the SEC exposed outside of conduit. Wasn't aware that was permitted?

@electricianron_New_Jersey 3 месяца назад

Look at the NEC. SEU is normal here in the northeast.

When the 2023 code adoption hits you will have to install a disco for a panel change with the new note In 230.85. In north jersey some inspectors are requiring it already

@electricianron_New_Jersey 3 месяца назад

The North Jersey inspectors? Rules apply to all of NJ, not just Bergen, Essex and Passaic counties. The Uniform Construction Code which supersedes the NEC does not require an exterior disconnect for panel changes. It's only on "full service upgrades" and spells it out clearly. There's a link to the UCC in the description of every video I post.

@wirenut9062 2 месяца назад

Would you havppen to know where that is in the UCC?@@electricianron_New_Jersey

@marsman716 3 месяца назад

do you ever show your videos in the classes you teach?

@electricianron_New_Jersey 3 месяца назад

No. The students know about my channel though. We have a Dept of Labor approved curriculum.

@youshouldknowthis3424 3 месяца назад

I was told that the ground bar only has grounds and the neutral wire goes only on that bar only ?

@rolandmcphail5060 3 месяца назад

they are combined only at the first means of disconnect which in that case it is. if he would have installed a disconnect outside, they would only be combined in that disconnect. any subpanels after the main disconnect panel grounds and neutrals would be seperate

@justin0114 3 месяца назад

Where did you connect or bond the ground?

@TheFacilityguy 3 месяца назад

So that house always had a 200 amp meter can feeding a 100 amp panel? Is that common out your way?

@electricianron_New_Jersey 3 месяца назад

All underground services in New Jersey are required to supply 200 amps. The load side can be 100 amps.

@TheFacilityguy 3 месяца назад

Oh ok, a little different than us up here in CT. That would definitely make some upgrades a lot easier.

@ice4278 3 месяца назад

How do you wire the surge protector that's in the panel. Or should I say what wires go to it. What's up Ron another good job.

@electricianron_New_Jersey 3 месяца назад

This one was a plug on neutral. It connects directly to the bus bar to provide the protection.

@ice4278 3 месяца назад

🎉ok thankd@@electricianron_New_Jersey

@JohnThomas-lq5qp 2 месяца назад

Amazing the ultility company has the ability to disconnect your power at a smart meter but can not install a $5 lockable lever to manually open meter relay contacts so customer had to spend mega bucks to have the NEC mandated outdoor service disconnect. Would never want my branch cirvuit breakers being outdoors nor would my senior citizen customers.Nice neat work. Nice to see you did not instsll another garbage ge jumk panel. Last two GE brand new panels I had to work on neithet door would open more then 75 degrees even after removing them.

@jwardcomo 3 месяца назад

Did you eliminate the extra panel on the left?

@electricianron_New_Jersey 3 месяца назад

No. That wouldn’t make sense to do that.

@350FMC 3 месяца назад

How do you get away with no conduit on the SEU?

@JohnThomas-lq5qp 2 месяца назад

Hotest day I ever did a 100 amp setvice it was 104 degrees for an cheap ignorant cousin that me & my dad did not charge any labor. We asked het for a cup of water twice but ended up drinking warm water out if s gardrn hose. End of job we took off our work boots and sat on her chairs with our firty feetnin her kiddie pool. Following month dhe wanted us to vome over thst day to run a line to s window air conditioner. Told her we were nooked up gor restnog summer.

@nickk05281982 3 месяца назад

So you guys have worked out a loop hole where you just comeback in two trips. Here luckily if you do either you are installing that disconnect. Otherwise you never put them in I just call two companies every time

@curtisharlan9230 2 месяца назад

@edgarmancillas3885 3 месяца назад

You’re a beast man 👌💪 but the SURGE PRO should always be closest to the main breaker 😅

@electricianron_New_Jersey 3 месяца назад

Not a requirement. Only Square D wants that and they won’t say why and I challenge you to provide a solid reason why it’s important other than 110.3(B).

@KRTube75 3 месяца назад

I'm working on my deck down here in SC. It was 94, felt like 100. Absolutely brutal! I lasted 4 hours then went inside and took an ice cold shower. Waited for the sun to go behind the trees, worked another 30 minutes, came inside and took a 15 minute break, worked 30 and so on until it was too dark to work. It's supposed to be 95 the next 2 days then 97

@doc13067 2 месяца назад

Great video! One of the o key channels that shows the whole process. I’m over in Philly and the heat has been unreal. We’ve been in attics doing recessed lighting. Does NJ allow you to put the main at the bottom so you don’t have to run 4/0 from the bottom to the top? Or is that prohibited by that uniform code. We only have the 2017 NEC where I work

@electricianron_New_Jersey 2 месяца назад

Main breaker can be at the bottom. Eaton designs their main breaker specifically for that reason.

@dmo8921 3 месяца назад

Ron have you ever walked away from a service upgrade? Example , Where I live We still have a lot of active old cloth wiring still active in the walls or the Phelps/Dodge with the undersized 16 gauge ground twisted like a pretzel with 6 or more landed on the ground bar and brittle at the device location . People don’t always have the money for a complete rewire . I’m very cautious, once you touch it ,you own it .

@electricianron_New_Jersey 3 месяца назад

Of course. There’s a lot of work I don’t ever want to do and I’m fortunate at this point in my career that I can choose who and what work I want to do.

Loving your videos! I’ve been out of the game for about 16 yrs, got IT working. Are you seeing a lot of work related to EVs? I currently drive a Tesla and they are everywhere down here in Tampa.

@electricianron_New_Jersey 3 месяца назад

The whole year has been EV chargers and service upgrades. It’s a great time to be an electrician!
