Welcome to my first KZfaq video!
As requested, in this video, I give an in-depth tutorial of how I tie-in a main residential panel.
I am located in British Columbia, Canada and follow the Canadian Electrical Code.
The panel in this video is a 200A Siemens Panel and I am using Siemens 15A Dual Function, 15A, 20A, 30/30A, 40/40A and 50/50A breakers.
Be sure to checkout my website to find my other social media accounts: karlythesparky(dot)com

I am in IT so I truly appreciate a good cable job and terminations at the rack, but rarely do I see such a clean job on the electric side. Awesome!

If you work non union or work around scabby outfits maybe you don't see nice panels. However in my experience, people in my union take pride on their panels.

​@MrGuideElk very rarely you will need to replace cables in panels such as this one. The only time you will do is during a home gut remodel but that cam take decades. My home is built in the 1940's and I still have the same cables in the walls. Copper doesn't go bad.

I’m a drywall painting contractor, but I always take a peek inside a panel if it’s cut to see wether the electrician takes pride in their work or not. My neighbor is an electrician and he takes the same kind of care that you do. He cut my box for me and it’s a work of art!

Really? Do you think a terminator knows how the system works, absolutely not, I was in the trade for 35 years and I know many terminator and they don't have any idea how the system they are terminating works.

I was an electrical apprentice back in the early 90's. I never got to learn how to dress a panel before me and the industry parted ways. Later, I got into low voltage. I tried to keep a "tidy" panel and I improved over the years, but it never got to this level. I will be taking so of the stuff you showed here to improve my dressing and hopefully when I do the rewire at my home, my panel will look half as good. Thank you for sharing and keep up the good work.

As a former WE Installer, everything had to be to exacting standards, including how to dress cables. We actually had our own quality inspectors check our work at intervals before the job was signed off. It's a pity how after divestiture other companies would outbid us and do totally crap work. Sad part was whenever we had to do an install after our competitors it was almost impossible to make it look like a quality job.

an extra hour of care makes for a lifetime of service ease. My company we ensure our panels are clean and well labeled, we aren't the cheapest but we usually are the best option on the repair for the low bid regretting homeowner. keep up the good work, maybe one day i'll have a offer for you to come out to alberta and show the old dogs women do it better.

Nice that you're in Canada too. There are many different ways to wire a panel and do a nice job. This is certainly one of them.

That panel is a beautiful as you! A work of art. My son, with over 25 yrs of experience, occasionally sends me photos of his completed wiring jobs that show how much pride and care he also puts into his work. Most of his are large commercial and industrial jobs, often with huge wires and massive panels.
