Easy way to explain Line & Load that I find is to remind people that the 'IN' in Line represents power coming in, while the 'O' in Load means power going out downstream.

I'm 81 and after 4 minutes of this gave it up because this guy doesn't know how to side-wire this outlet. I'm not going to explain. Look around; there must be another 50 vlogs on the same subject (many of them incorrect as well?)

@@jackriley5974 You don't have to side wire a GFCI, it's called back wiring and it's just as good. The plates clamp down as you tighten the screw. Leviton now has Wago style recepticles that take 3 seconds to wire. Decora Edge. Side wiring will be obsolete soon.

@bobpond7973 Жыл бұрын

IMPORTANT: Leviton GFCI's have "Line" terminals at the top. The model shown in this video (including the wiring diagram shown) has line terminals at the bottom. At 3:35 in the video you note something like "If you are replacing an old GFCI with a new GFCI then it is easier to do as you just place the wires from the line terminals of the old GFCI onto the line terminals of the new GFCI." Strictly speaking this is correct, but only if you use a voltage tester or actually read the labels on the back of the old GFCI and the new GFCI. If you are unfortunate, your old GFCI may have the line terminals on the top while your new GFCI has the line terminals on the bottom. If this is the case and you simply move the top wires from the old GFCI to the top terminals of the new GFCI and move the bottom wires from the old to the bottom terminals of the new then the LED of the GFCI will light up green, suggesting that it is active, but the GFCI will not reset, the outlet itself will not be live and the downstream circuit will not be live. You may then think that you have to call an electrician to track down a (non-existant) ground fault. The bottom line (no pun intended): when wiring a GFCI, you MUST read the labels on the back of the outlet (or read the installation instructions that come with the new GFCI) and make sure to connect the live wire from the panel and the neutral coming from the panel onto the terminals marked "line" on the back of the new GFCI outlet.

I'm not an electrician but I think the correct way to do it would be to to remove the old outlet, cap the hot wires, energize the circuit and then voltage test. Reading the old outlet is assuming the previous installer did the job correctly, which isn't something I would do.

A good one to remember is line in and load out for power to a gfci. Also where you have old knob and tube wiring with no ground, if you run a ground to the first outlet and install a gfci like the example in the video, every plug after that will be gfi protected even though there's no ground.

@2Truth4Liberty 2 жыл бұрын

Is there any benefit in running a ground from the GFCI to the downstream outlets rather than just using "two-wire w/o grd"?

@thomassohayda3375 2 жыл бұрын

@@2Truth4Liberty definitely, having a direct to earth ground on every plug is ideal. Alot of folks can't afford a complete rewire, so adding a gfci like I suggested is a temporary solution that works and is within budget for most.

@DiffEQ Жыл бұрын

No mnemonic required. If you don't know the difference between LINE and LOAD, then you have no business working on electrical systems. It's also just EASIER to remember what LINE means instead of having to remember a mnemonic which renders zero understanding. Why do you speak on things you clearly don't understand. GFCI protection is ground independent and NO GROUND IS REQUIRED for GFCI protection. Period. If you have three-prong receptacles, then it's dangerous if there is no actual ground because the device you're plugging in is designed for protective ground if it has a three-prong plug. Stop giving advice as if you KNOW the subject when it is clear to those who do that you're ignorant.

@DiffEQ Жыл бұрын

@@2Truth4Liberty Don't listen to this fraud. GFCI protects downstream devices and no ground is required. Period. If you home does not have protective grounds run, then GFCI is a great way of protecting people from electrocution because it senses very small (1-3 mA) current differences in the HOT and Neutral conductors. You need to be very careful, though, that there is no other neutral path downstream or the GFCI will trip every time since both the HOT and Neutral need to be connected only to the GFCI on the LOAD side.

Very interesting, thank you. I just needed to replace a broken GFCI, and somehow stupidly got the bottom line neutral wire crossed with the top load neutral wire and it didn't work, so I had to pay an electrician to come out to move one wire! But I had put a voltage tester on both load and line wires and got voltage, which was confusing. If I turn off the circuit breaker, what's the best way to determine which are the line wires? Of course going forward I learned to mark the two line (or load) wires with tape to ID them, as in my case the wires shifted when I disconnected them from the broken GFCI outlet. Thanks for the clear video instruction.

Great video. My question is about the size of the GFCI. I've had instances where replacing a regular receptacle with GFCI, I find it's sometimes really difficult to "stuff" the new GFCI into the box and worry that the wires will get pinched. Same thing happened when I replaced a standard receptacle with a USB version - it was much larger. In that case, I actually ended up having to buy a deeper box and replace it. Any tips for stuffing these things back in the box without worrying about pinching the wires? Is it even something I should be worried about?

@michaelmasztal7871 8 ай бұрын

I can sympathize. Especially if you're doing a reno project and adding GFCIs where there were none before and you have shallow box. You could use a box extender (looks weird) or install a GFCI breaker in appropriate slot in the panel. To answer your last question, pick up a VoltClaw to manipulate wires in the box. I use one frequently on the renovation I do.
