*After **10:00** I lost footage of terminating the other end of the ground wire to the ground bar in the panel. So sorry about that but it is very easy to install. Install them to the rest of the existing ground wires.*
Excellent tutorial. Looks like the ground cable question was already addressed. Detailed, straight to the point, and pointed out all safety issues. Thumbs up.
Just what I was looking for, THANKS! Someone might have asked already, I am not an electrician but as a homeowner I find CAFCI to be over-sensitive. Maybe your use of this breaker type was just for demonstration?
You failed to mention where to put the ground wire in the panel. Goes in the bus which is probably easy to tell but a first timer may just leave it unattached no knowing otherwise.
I've been searching for this kind of video. In my home that I've owned since '01, I've have never used one specific outlet in my garage. Never. Just never had to use it. We'll a few months ago I did need it for once. I plug in a tool and nothing happened. I thought the outlet broke. I put those outlet testers you have and nothing happens. I take off the outlet and there are NO wires in there at all !!! The outlet box and out let were just installed but not wired at all the fuse panel. It's decorative? Lucky for me it's about 3 feet directly under the fuse panel. I still want to research other videos if I find them before I attempt what you did.
Haha that's funny. Either they forgot to pull in the last wire and just put in the plug on so it looked finished or ran out of time. Remember to turn off the main breaker. Stay safe 🍻
@@KevinPon. ok thank you 🙏🏽 our home is older and breaker keeps setting off in this heat with our ac running so I wanted to add another outlet just for Ac because the one I have in room shares a breaker with another room
Some areas require you run a conduit of some sort by code. It's a good thing to check your area and make sure your allowed to have the Romex showing outside of the box it not.
They're metal. They don't melt. They're a pain to get the wire back out after. But they do provide a foolproof connection compared to the screw where I've seen them screwed down to where they push the wire off. Most likely they are not secured and pop off when the outlet was pushed into the box
Umm, you're using box connectors with no clamp both inside the box and the breaker panel. Isn't that against code? You mentioned you're an electrician below
@@KevinPon. I'm not an electrician, but I do have Google. NEC 312.5 (C) says the cables must be secured. Common sense also dictates you don't just want to protect cables from rubbing on the edge of a sharp panel box, you also need to protect them from pulling out of the screws by clamping them at the box. It looks like your loomex have no clamps and are just open conduit.
