Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money.
Synopsis:
This is one mighty “Part 1” for what will be a beautiful kitchen remodel. The tricky thing about electrical work is that you often can’t do it all at once; in this case, we need to dial in appliance receptacles, counter-servicing receptacles, overhead lighting, under-cabinet lighting, auxiliary pendant lighting, and some mysterious old circuitry without the appliances, counters, cabinets, or pendants in sight!
Here’s how Jefferson Electric “roughs-in” a kitchen-to-be to avoid future headaches for themselves or other tradesmen, all while identifying existing wiring and solving panel circuit limitations.

You’ve got the tools and the willingness to solve your own electrical problem, but are held up by a couple ominous details. Rather than hiring out the whole project, get EPro’s own Joel Walsman on a video or voice call here: electric-pro-academy.square.s...

I recently remodeled our kitchen. I used the ideas of dedicated circuits for microwave, toaster oven, coffee pot, insta pot. Also, as you did, dedicated line for fridge, dishwasher, and disposal. All used GFCI. One suggestion is to use an outlet with USB charging ports. I wired these into GFCI outboard so they still are protected. Thanks for a great video.

As an British apprentice electrician it’s really interesting with the differences between uk and American electrics their is a few things that horrify me (mainly lack of rcds/gfci, wire nuts, the lack of any sleeving on the cpc/ground and the state of some of your distribution boards. But it’s not all negative as theirs a few things that I’ve seen that I wish we had in the uk the colour coded second layer of installation to tell you the size of the conductor seems like a really useful thing that the uk should pick up on.

@@helmanfrow yes I know you use rcds but they seem to be a lot rarer that’s obviously fine as you have different regulations but it would be interesting to see how they change in the future As for earth sleeving in the uk it’s a requirement as it could cause a short when putting outlets into back boxes between live and earth that causes faults

@helmanfrow Жыл бұрын

@@adamdavis2788 A bare ground coming into contact with a live conductor is a distinct possibility but I don't know how big a problem that is in reality. Maybe it's a huge issue of which I'm unaware. I'm not an electrician, after all. The Canadian Electrical Code now requires AFCI protection on nearly every type of residential outlet except lighting. It requires GFCI protection on any outlet in locations considered "wet". Protection can be at the breaker or outlet in most cases, although the breaker is preferable for AFCI unless you're running shielded cable. If you ask me it's mostly BS designed to sell expensive breakers and line the pockets of manufacturers and the regulation makers.

@adamdavis2788 Жыл бұрын

@@helmanfrow just had to do a bit of research into what afci outlets are and it’s interesting that the uk is similar in the fact that affds are now becoming more required in installations but rcds are required on pretty much every circuit. It seems to be that they are both equal in the amount of protective devices required but the uk has arguably gone for the slightly safer option but in ether one I can see it all needing to be installed in the next 10-20 years
