    • It’s all basically common sense use the correct breaker with the correct wire the correct outlet the correct amps amateur that’s never done it. Yeah I could say no don’t do that but I’ve done panels more than enough times and they passed inspections with no issues because it’s all common sense . i’ve heard the phone dead shorts that electricians couldn’t find wire in grounds that was not grounded. The electricians didn’t put in. It’s all simplified there is nothing hard about that. That will just take several hours to do that. Type of panel just have to have every line marked what it’s for and go down the line slow

  • Looks great! Well done! As a best practice I like to install the highest ampacity breakers as close as possible to the main breaker. This does two things, it lessens voltage drop across the buss, reduces the chance of flicker artifacts in lighting circuits when large loads are switching on/off (ie. air conditioners, hot water tanks, furnaces…) and with the currents panel orientation as you’ve shown it inherently lengthens each branch circuit conductor within the panel and gives the most amount of cable to play with while still being manageable to help with juggling and moving circuits around at a later. That said I’ll still leave a spare for a full sized 2-pole breaker (in a single phase installation) on each side of the panel should somebody later need to add a large breaker like a 60, 80 or 100A to provide service to things like a sub panel, feed to an auxiliary building (shop), substantial level-2 EV car charger… etc

  • I love your organization! I am an industrial electronic tech, not an electrician. But I have worked in several panels and I love when someone takes time to organize their wiring. I do this as best as I can when I wire. Yous looks far better, as you are much more practiced than I am. It makes troubleshooting so much easier. Not all managers want to allow you the time to do quality work like this, but they don't realize how much time it saves later. One thing you might look into to prevent accidental contact is cover up blankets. I work for an electrical utility and we use them to prevent the exact thing that happened to you in this video. They can be cut into smaller sizes if needed.

  • I have a lot of respect for the attention to detail and the pride you display in your work. When you are separating your left and right side circuits, do you also try to do an imagined load balancing as well? I've learned that this is more important than most electricians realize, and not for obvious reasons. A few years ago, I was speaking with an industrial electrical engineer who shared some valuable knowledge with me. There's basically two electric meter manufacturers in the world, and all of these meters are set up to report electric usage the same way; that being if there's 40A usage on L1 and 10A usage on L2, the customer is NOT being charged for 50A usage, but rather being charged for 80A! How they do it is whichever leg has the highest KW usage gets doubled for billing purposes. So armed with this knowledge I always try to do a preliminary load balancing when installing a panel, and then I check the balance again after the panel is energized and the homeowner is using electric as normal. Of course, this involves a bit more work, but I don't come cheap either. A good reputation is worth gold.

  • Forgot to add… during my first few years in the biz, I was working for a custom home builder in NJ. He was building 10-25,000 sq ft homes and was meticulous about his work. He insisted I label all wiring with the tags with numeric codes and he had his “structured cabling” guy create and laminate index cards to be added to all panelboards. I bought the Dymo/Rhino 5000 and it worked phenomenally well. Im guessing there are a ton of such label tools nowadays. The “structured cable” back then was UTP CAT-3 for pbx phone systems and for “Lantastic” SLOW p.c. networks. CAT-5 was just coming out. Things certainly have improved!

  • Glad to see that, like every professional, you use your precision tools as your "technical tapping tool" because it's to hand ;-) My hammer is sometimes impact driver battery, sometimes my wire stripper (which obviously are also my conduit reamer), and for really heavy duty knocking-in-to-place I have my pliers, like you!

  • I like to number my circuits so the number is showing on the sheath and I can easily tie in in numerical order and then my directory is done at the same time. Couple critiques, tie your hair up, eye protection is a good idea when tying in, seen eye accidents before, wear a tool belt or proper work pants with knee pads. Also get a bigger step ladder. Trust me, 20 years an electrician over several continents including North America. Apart from that you're obviously a great worker and would be a great asset at any company or on your own work! Edit: just seen the arc flash and wow, if you're not able to switch off that mains then take extra precautions. Also use a drill with a clutch not an impact.

  • Karl, you do excellent work on that SQ D Homeline panel!!! You must be in because that is exactly the way I was taught by my father over 60 years (60) ago!!!!!! That is the same way I have taught 150 apprentices, plus my own kids too!!! I have 6 tradesmen, 1 journeyman, 1 master plus 1 master plumber, carpenter, roofer, mechanic they all work together in my business. I have been a licensed electrician for the past 51 years, and I worked with my father,uncles learning the trade starting at 6 years old, and I got my journeyman at 18 years. I won't strip the romex until I had all of them in the panel. Start stripping all the back romexs first, then finish with the front romexs. You are extremely talented and have a very neat workmanship in your trade!!! By the way, I am a little over 70 years old, too!!!!! God bless, go with God's Speed in your travels!!!!!

  • Nice work but fully agree with some others here never need to work on a live panel, unless if your testing with proper safeguards. If you are not allowed to pull a meter then you should not be doing it live you have to schedule a shutdown with the electricity provider. Shorts like you had would be very common with the amount of straggling wires when you rewire. LOTO is there for a reason, NFPA 70 and NFPA70E stipulate it. Your work insurance also would not be valid if you got hurt. Understanding electricity makes no difference - safety first. Gloves and eyewear is a safeguard against nasty eye incidents and cut hands. Keep safe.

  • Interestingly I bet making the panel this neat actually sped up the job as there was little to no wire to wire thought about; how long, where's it's neutral, which breaker and fishing a wire out of a wad of neutrals, grounds, and hots. A veryn efficient process that itself, leads to a very clean result. Love it!

I have seen a panel the exact opposite (on a boiler, not a db), so stuffed full of unmarked wires that the door was pushed open as soon as the latch was released. Took half a day to diagnose a simple fault, having to trace the wires. SO frustrating. Such a pleasure seeing your work.

  • Clean job, just a bit concerned that you called the panel not live knowing full well the feeders were hot to the main. Glad your ok but don’t put it off as nothing just because you understand electricity. Use it as a learning experience and never have power going to a main like that. No reason to have live feeders in that panel. Work safer and keep up the clean work, all of it aside from the excess DNA.
