Its time to install the off grid solar wire inside the shed. I run some 14 gauge wire that was given to me so I can save cost. I install several receptacles and some lighting.

Real wiring. Just what I was looking for. I am currently off grid. I switched over all of my lighting to 12-24vdc. Standard screw in bulb base(rv style). Very low amps, approx .7@12v per bulb approx 8watts. No regulation on low voltage dc. Wire is cheaper, and no inverters. Working on my 120v soon and need a brush up. Thankyou :)

You should never cut across the insulation that "protects" the wire / wires inside... Very big possibility for arcing / fire to start..

Fair dues for showing people how it's done and putting me out if work 😃 Why didn't you just wore the lights directly without a socket? And why not run the cable along the rafters rather than free hanging, easily pulled by accident? Great job otherwise, I appreciate it when people show others how to do any type of home improvement.

@marknadin770 3 года назад

Seth great job but were the wire goes into the metal boxes put a rubber gromet on so the wire can't rub.

@LandtoHouse 3 года назад

That is a good point. I will have to look into that. Those metal boxes can be a little harsh.

@haroldwarner8980 3 года назад

Hey Seth, why not put the electrical boxes inside the studs for a more finished look? No worries of anything banging in to them.

@LandtoHouse 3 года назад

I actually move a few of them in an upcoming video. I build some shelves that need the same space as the outlets.

@tommyschauer3093 3 года назад

IF YOU WERE TO PUT THE BOXES FOR THE OUTLETS ON THE SIDE OF THE STUDS, THERE WOULD BE A LOT LESS CHANCE OF HITTING THEM WITH SOMETHING, (LIKE THE 4 WHEELER HANDEL, YOUR HAND OR SOMETHING.) JUST A THOUGHT. GOOD JOB.

@LandtoHouse 3 года назад

That's true! The full wall shelves will pretty much cover all the electric boxes. So its more likely that a box will hit them.

@stephenmcsweeney7562 3 года назад

Also, in Europe you've to earth all steel boxes incase a short is going through the box. The RCD will trip if the box is shorting. Sockets here are required to be on a circuit protected by an RCD, lights not but it does require that you have them on seperate circuits. Socket cable should always be a minimum of 2.5mm. You can branch lights off a socket circuit but you've to put a fused spur between for isolation. You can't add a socket to s lighting circuit because the cable isn't thick enough at 1.5mm. Not criticizing just helping people be aware of certain european code. 🙂

@pauldymott8991 3 года назад

Hi Seth. A question for you. Why choose mains lights with an inverter. Most of our buildings are lit with 12v led. Therefore, no losses through the inversion process.

@LandtoHouse 3 года назад

A couple reasons. I already had the lights. And a company reached out for an inverter review. :)

@Berkeloid0 3 года назад

It also allows you to run higher power lights more efficiently, because at 12 volts there is much greater loss in the wiring (unless you run massive thick cables which is added expense). Because the inverter bumps the voltage up, the current drops significantly which reduces the amount of power lost as heat in the wires. Even a 10 watt LED like in the video would go from using 830 milliamps at 12V down to 83 milliamps at 120V, so the losses - while relatively small in this example - are still 10 times higher when you run off 12V instead of 120V. You have to do the calculations to be sure, but at all except the smallest of sites the inverter usually works out as more efficient simply because the loss of running it is lower than the wiring losses at 12VDC.

@robertsteich7362 3 года назад

Three things Seth. First do yourself a favor and remove the wire from the face of the studs. I know you’re not putting drywall up. But those wires are exposed to future damage by moving stuff, tools and whatever else. Drill a hole at the top sill plate above each box. So you can run the wire down the sides of the studs. Second, consider installing the boxes to the side of the stud, again keeping it protected. Third, please install these into the knockouts you removed. Not sure what size those knockouts are though, so you’ll have to figure that out. www.homedepot.com/p/Halex-3-8-in-1-2-in-Knockout-Non-Metallic-Push-In-Connector-100-Pack-75105B/100150300?MERCH=REC-_-searchViewed-_-NA-_-100150300-_-N&

Most definitely not a sparky/electrician, I was cringing watching him doing one thing after another what was wrong, for example when he noct out the noct outs on the back boxes he did not use any rubber gromets to protect the cabling. You should never slice across cables, if you are going to slice the cable, slice down the earth lead at the end of the cable and use the earth lead to split the cable by pulling up on it, then snip off the outer coating. If you slice across cables you can cause a short circuit, that is why you should use rubber gromets on the back boxes to help prevent a short circuit. [Edit] Oh and you need a earth rod to earth your electricity distribution, install the earth rod where the subsoil condition is free from rock and boulders, electrical conductivity of the ground condition the earth rod can be specified to achieve safe, reliable and long term earthing protection.

@LandtoHouse 3 года назад

Oh yes. I think that I mention that I am not a pro at one point in the video. The earth ground was actually in the middle of this wire. So when I split down the middle it was on that ground. It also did not help that the temp was so cold. It made it even harder to get the wire ready. Thank you for the input!

@jllaine 3 года назад

@@LandtoHouse 10:12 you cut the outer insulation perpendicular to the wires, which risks nicking the inner insulation. The suggestion is to slice down the middle, parallel to the wires. In fact I just slice the last inch or two and then grab it and peel it back like a banana peel. That way any possible nicks are in the bit you are removing to bare the ends of the wire for the outlet.

Not properly twisting the conductors is pretty bad. Asking for s fire. Should have run conduit if he wanted to run surface mount. No cable glands, yikes.

@@LandtoHouse I think they mean fully circle around but I’m not an electrician and I don’t know much😂

@jllaine 3 года назад

@@LandtoHouse when you used a wire nut on the common/white conductors in the light switch box, you need to use pliers to twist together the stripped ends of the wires, about 2 full turns. This gives you the most contact between the copper wires to carry up to 15 amps in your 14 gauge wire. With the stripped wire only side by side in a wire nut, you only have 10% of the surface contact compared to twisting the wires together. That connection could heat up with more than 1-2 amps running through it, which becomes a fire hazard.

@LandtoHouse 3 года назад

Think you. I am going to rewire All the wire into the Box with The suggested improvements. I will try to get that video out soon

Hello I had a quick question. Does the switch by the door have to be on the on position for all the outlets to work? Or how does that work just curious thank you.
