Just stumbled across your channel again.. You're a great teacher. Clear. Now that I have my license this is going to be a real resource

i was so clueless on picturing what was going on here as i was studying, this made it so clear thank you!

Dave you are a very gifted teacher. Thank you for this information

For the very first time I’m actually interested in learning about Electricity - A big thank you Dave. Truly appreciate your time and effort making these videos.

Another difficult and confusing nec section made easy by Dave .. thanks alot!!!

Dave make these concepts look like a 2+2,man. Im studying for my 02 and this guy is making it easier for me.

I pay $1200 a year for tuition as part of my apprenticeship program and your videos are light-years better than anything my program provides

Thanks for your videos.. please do more, you are a great teacher..

Wow this is what I’m here for!! A thorough and clear description that even a dunce like me can understand. You’re a life saver I wish my teachers could have explained it like this!! But glad I found your channel CHEERS!!

You do a very good job explaining and teaching these codes. Thank you.

I've been studying quite a bit of the NEC in class lately, and tap rules have been my biggest struggle so far. This video made it all click immediately. Thank you Dave!

Excellent explanation of tap conductor rules. You are a gifted teacher. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

I really appreciate your ability to explain in a way that is easy to follow along with. Great instructor. Thank you

Now this is a great video. Thank you for breaking it down so well.

Very well explained Dave and the solution for the 15A protection by upsizing the cable to meet the minimum requirement of the code.

Brilliant. This really explains something that I had zero understanding of. I wish you went on tour to preach continuing education classes. I'd sign up for everything you had.

Thank you for your explanation on 10 and 25 feed rules

Your a amazing teacher. Thank you!

Superb excellent explaining teaching

Dave, thank you! Very informative! I would love to see the concept of this video expanded into city-grids, i.e. in my home town, 400V/300A feeds from the Minor Distribution substations into the neighborhood grid, from which our houses are connected. I never really understoood the full protection scheme in this, with the minor distribution transformers split over multiple 10kV feeders from the Distribution substations.

Your videos have been so critical to my classes

I also teach electrician CE classes, and I have to tell you that you nailed this video. This video (Feeder Taps) would also tie-in nicely to 2020 NEC Article 705.11(C1).

Thanks Dave, great theory and explanation. Easy to understand the 240.

Thanks very much for all this great work and explanation!!

After several videos finally! Excellent explanation1. Following.

This was very well done. I had to brush up on this as I ran into it on a project. Your video was a great addition to the code book.

Always excellent info! I utilize the tap rules whenever I can. Often, it simplifies the wiring. However, it always amazes me how many electricians really don't use them (even when they can), perhaps because they don't fully understand the concepts. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much your videos have made it possible to learn and get ready for the test 💯💪🏻💪🏻

Thank you Dave awesome video you make it very clear and easy to understand !!

This video helped a ton. Thanks for the content keep doing what you’re doing I know I highly appreciate it. Thank you

I'm a big fan of Dave's. Comment please, say anything so this channel can grow and like all the videos you watch. These videos are so out of this world great!!!

Thank you Dave for doing an amazing explanation on feeder taps!

Thank you so much! This is a very helpful video, much appreciated

These lessons are so fun.

Great tap lesson sir!

Am I the only one who watches these videos hoping it will make me a better mechanic?

Great explanations, thanks

Great instruction..thanks

Amazing video!

Excelente 🎉

THANK YOU

Solid gold

thank you

Great explanation. One question. If the overload protection comes after the tap does is always need to be a fuse? I would think not...

Dave, I'm still having trouble with this. For example, Solar installation's are tapping the feeders between the meter & the main breaker. Applying the 10 ft. rule what is protecting the wires that are connected to the feeders ? Even though they are in a conduit which is attached to the solar disconnect, they are non-fused.

you r the best

240.4(D), or the "Small conductor rule" does not dictate the ampacity of a conductor nor does it apply to feeder taps. If you are using the 75 degree column, the ampacity of the #10 should be 35 amps and the #14 should be 20 amps.

You're the best

Excelent

So, are we talking about sub-panels here? If you drop a 6/3 90-c NM cable 35-feet away and the sub panel provides overload protection to the branch circuit, is the 50-amp breaker in your diagram the feeder breaker? In this case, it seems you need to provide great care in calculating loads .

is there a tap on motor circuit example

I’m needing to upgrade a 100A sub panel to a 200A. It’s a 200A service, would this rule be applicable to use if i tap from the main panel into a 200A disconnect?

is the 100amp overcurrent because of the 1/3 rule? 100 is 1/3 of 300

Dave can you do a video on combination DC circuits? The more I study them the more confused I am.

I have a tricky multiple choice question, hopefully someone can with more knowledge can help me out A White/grey wire in a feeder circuit ________: A)Be bonded or have a circuit breaker B)Is the largest wire in that circuit C)Should not have a voltage to ground My notes: On the main panel, neutral is connected to the bar that is BONDED with the panel, the green grounding wire is also connected to the same bar. (so does that mean the answer is A?) In the sub panel, the neutral wire is connected to the neutral bar which is ISOLATED from the metal box with plastic between them, the Green grounding wire is separated and is connected to its own bar that is bonded to the sub panel box. In the circuit that this question applies to, --------- “The neutral wire is going to be sized larger than the Green grounding wire” (But that doesn’t mean it’s the LARGEST in the circuit right? Because the two hot wire could be the same size) --------"The neutral should have no potential difference(voltage) to the ground" (does that mean the answer is C?)

What about taps of unlimited length? Code is hard to understand

Dave is 10x better than holtz, and he’s not charging

Dave, I have a drawing of a three Phase Wye 208/120 secondary circuit...I need help, do you have an email address that I could send it to you. I enjoy your KZfaq classes, However I have no experience with three Phase. Your Three Phase classes has not addressed my problem.
