INSTALLING AN ELECTRICAL SUB PANEL FOR SHED 

OMFG... as a master electrician for 20+ years I just messed my pants watching this...that’s a huge pisser offer...

6:00 - Love the use of protective equipment this time Connor. You're so safety conscious! :)

why is the panel facing outside. would you not want the access to the panel to be on the inside of the shed ?

FYI a ground rod is required at a detached building. Romex needs the be connected with a bushing. The lawn rebel is now the Electrical rebel.

The glove and glasses had me crying of laugher..

Safety squint and gloves! Always a must! Love it! Laughed hard! Your the best man!

Don’t forget to install a romex connector as you run the wire into the back on the panel.

Connor - you need one of those fancy liftmaster openers that attach to the spring bar that way you won't see an ugly opener in those beautiful windows and you can check with the app if it's closed or not.

Shed is looking awesome!! The extra footage is always funny.. “hit it!”

This guy is the new Jackie Gleason of building guys

Nice! Good to see someone doing it right! Don’t see that too often now days.

I'm stoked for more shed action. Hard to believe you didn't do much of anything to it all summer!

I love watching some one who knows nothing about what they are doing ok

I’m not a big talker Mr Ward but I do love your content sir and your work ethic and crazy character ❤️ Thankyou for sharing a bit of your life with us, you are my favourite American RU-vidr by far, I have enjoyed this season with you now it’s my turn to head out into the yard growing season is nearly upon me, this will be my 3rd since I started learning a little about lawn care I’m excited, I never had a hobby before ❤️ bless ya mate from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺 J

I love the “how to” videos.

Conner is goner Pyle in the marines should have his own comedy show guys

It’s all wrong but I like everything about it.🤠

Excellent use of PPE.

This is great comedy time guys

Oh Brother, I just Love your Commentation and your Explanation.....🤣😂👍 It's So Unique 🤠👍

It's one thing to change some outlets but to have confidence to hook up a main supply is awesome...did you work for an electrician before becoming a carpenter

this guy is such a character. Looks like the motto is if it's not going where it's suppose to just force it. LOL.

Thank you for showing us what not to do

Useful tip, put the ground rod nut on before you start pounding it in.

Other than being silly and running it inside the shed and then running it outside the shed, you have two important NEC violations. The conduit from the LB to the panel must have a connector. None installed. Article 225.30 states that when you feed a building from another building you must have a means of disconnect. 225.31 tells where it must be located. You installed directly to a MLO(Main Lugs Only) panel. You should have a disconnect or a main breaker to be compliant with NEC.

Making progress! For a spit second I thought that ground wire was too short, when you cut it.

Great content, Mr. Ward! I missed seeing the usual cameo appearance of the Mrs. though. I thought her dance would become a regular feature of your videos. A little pyro content at the end is always a plus, too.

i have 3 qiestionss. what apmrage are you runing to your shed? and where are you getting the power from? house or power pole? i have the same project

The progress of the shed is coming along nicely. Good work Connor!

I think ground rods have to be 8 feet where I live in Mass.

Do we need to ground the box? I have a ground from my main panel. It all attached to a 30 amp at the main and I'm powering a 12x15 office lights plugs etc didnt think I would need a copper bar here also? Dont have one fro my other sub panel but I do have a thick copper wire going to the main from that sub

Love to see Safety Sally in action! Folks this is truly the best "How-To" Channel on the interwebs! Keep up the great work!

Lawn 🚜 Rebel becomes the Electrician⚡️Rebel!! Keep up the awesome videos Brother Ward!

Nice job, seems pro enough for me. Love the extra's ;-) keep it up!

Nice electrical install “Sparky” enjoying your content! Joyed to see you apply the “anti” to the terminations. Cheers !

Awesome job for a DIYer! As a former electrician I'm impressed 👍

I tried to do all that and the code guy said no..lol..keep them coming!

That box is rated for being approved connection to aluminium no liquid oxidation required, no lax not required ok

Nice to see it starting to take shape 👍

Why mess around with liguid spray on fertilizer. Get a broadcast spreader and Winter fertilizer from IFA and just start walking. No muss, no fuss. A drop spreader is a pain to get your rows right and the proper overlap. Get the big broadcast spreader.

Did you build the shed too. It looks great

Glad I found this. Notifications aren’t working anymore

This is really good. I just finished running a subpanel to my basement. However, just today I'm planning on running power to my shed. Was debating about putting the subpanel inside, but I also don't want to deal with the space this will take because it's a small 120 sq/ft shed. I think I may just do it like you did here with a nice Eaton panel like that. My shed's not insulated, so my plan is looking like I might attach it to the studs, facing outwards and cut a box hole in the siding to expose it, then seal around the edges so that only the is exposed. This is more or less how the house itself is done. I do want to add hardy siding at some point so I might have to leave some room for that.

Hay there... just a couple issues there. Not making fun of your work or being obnoxious about it just want y'all to be safe and somewhat code compliant. First you have no connector from your lb into your panel... That's a big time no no as the wire is free to rub all up on that metal, and yes things do move. I would suggest a threaded metal lb so you can put a close nipple in there and get a lock nut on it then a bushing. That would keep your depth as you want and be compliant/safe. Second you can not cover a LB with anything (and be code compliant), like drywall, so you need to have a access panel on the back side there to access it.

Seems like you had some trouble keeping that lawn in top shape this year. the lawn looked much better last year... Im so excited, how its gonna look in 2021 :)

Try green links and iron

That there was one informative video!

Awesome Job ⭐

I'm not going to say anything about the ground bar and the neutral you were talking about I'm not going to embarrass you lol.

I AM NOT AN ELECTRICIAN, but On the sub panel, I don't think you connect the ground and the natural bars together. Easy fix if I am wrong, but I like it that you do it your way man..

Those were some stylish safety glasses!

Good job at getting it done. Can’t wait to see the finished product. Glad you wore your PPE. Lol.

This project is near completion so my pointers will be to people wanting to use this for ideas on their own project. If you are doing an outside panel then do a surface mount instead of a flush mount. This way you can come straight out of the ground with conduit... so much easier. When wiring a shed always use a slip joint on the feeder conduit so any settling or frost heave doesn't break the pipe. The conduit could also come straight up on the outside and use an LB to feed an inside panel. The conduit must be continuous all the way to the panel and must have a bushing where the wire goes into the panel. There should be no gaps in conduit! If you want more wall space you could always put the panel by the light switch because the switch needs to be clear anyway. (a small panel will fit in the same bay) If you are tight for space you can use a "spa panel" which is only about 6 inches wide with 4 slots. That can provide a welder outlet and a pair of double breakers, for a total of 6 circuits... but they are small so things will be tight inside.

Say what you will. This guy is funnier than f..k!

why not install the panel directly above where it comes in?? why on the outside?

Isn’t the box suppose to be on the inside of the shed and piping on the outside?

For your sub panel wouldn’t you be able to run your ground and your neutral into the same bus bar. At least I’ve seen it before.

Why not have the panel inside the shed?

Loved the glasses and gloves. You and your family are awesome!

He better be safety conscious he knows enemy kill himself lol

Where the service comes into the sub panel the edges are not protected. Those cables will change over time and cause a nasty short.

I’m wondering why he chose to put the sun panel so it opens from outside? Shouldn’t it be from inside?

Connor you're a National Treasure.

Conners comedy hour

Don't forget you need permits ok building and electrical

Another great "How to" video! 😂👊

No connector in the back of the panel. Not good.

I'm no builder so my curiosity has to know why the shed sits below grade. I remember it built from wood, not a concrete pour with stem walls. I guess in my mind I'd be worried if it flooding. Someone educate me please.

Install the conduit completely then pull the wire.

Good job 👍 I enjoyed your video

Omg recess the panel in the wall omg your supposed to hw1\4' " clearance from your box to wall finish

Where can I get some of your antioxidant cream?

The end of the mowing season is so sad 😞

Enjoyed watching. thanks!

You need an access panel to that LB you plan on burying in the wall by code. Ground rod is a bit short but it’s supplemental. Other than that it looks good. If that wire ever goes bad That pull is gonna be a bitch with the added 2 90s on the end. Pretty Unlikely scenario though.

I thought code says electrical panels cannot be outside!!!!??? Wow!

Where can I buy those insta-gloves? They sure seem handy.🤣

Top hat's u mean ? Can man sand Man🤣🤣🤣.

I thought if the panel was in a seperate building you need a means to disconnect in that building. aka a main breaker on your sub panel. edit: Not tryna be smart with you. Im a cw in the electrical union and im trying to learn

Great vid mate

Your supposed to have 8' ground rods ok

Grounding appears to be incorrect. You're not supposed to ground your sub panel like that.. You are already bringing presumably 6awg Ground from your main panel to the sub panel, so if ground fault occurs, flow of fault current should be all the way to main panel where G and N meets at bonding location, and then fault current should travel through the ground rod and to the ground. By providing additional (parallel) path to the ground, your fault current will not flow through your originally established ground and it will likely flow through new ground path you just created (with lowest impedance) with this installation. This is pretty serious error if you ask me. Ground path should be just one and should not run parallel like the way you have done.

you'll be at 1m subs in no time. keep it going

1st kiwi? Yeah boi!

But are you going to be planting bluegrass or ryegrass in the shed?

Oh the hackery Connor please

Really awesome video

Love that PPE.

Dang. Never seen a panel mounted outdoor. However it is funny seeing you do it this way then wonder why the 90 doesn’t have a seal while it’s being mounted indoor🤷🏻‍♂️. Very confused. I hope everything has worked out for ya.

Next time, use the “like a boss” pixelated glasses next time you need safety glasses! That made me lol 😂

You can't cut your rods they are to be 8' in the ground all the way

Why used Tandem breakers if you have enough room for regular breakers and balance the loads. The way like you did ,15 amps breaker are sharing 1 phase and the 20’s too. If you install regular breakers, no tandem, A phase goes with one 20 and one 15 and the B fade one 15 and one 20. Balance loads. With your tandems you did phase A with 20 amps and Phase B with 15. In a full load situation, you will withdraw 5 amps to neutral and somebody can be shock.

The breaker is off like his brain is lol

People don't do what Conner does ok he is showing you how not to do it video ok

Come on down to Peoria Arizona Sports complex and help us mow baseball fields!!!

Love electrical work. PITTL
