As of 7/27/2021 this video still has not been corrected. I appreciate that this video was made as it was the only instructional video I could find for this specific box, but in this video both the neutral and one of the hot wires are connected to the neutral bar. The neutral should be where the left hand hot wire is (parallel with the hot wire on the right) and the second hot wire should be connected to the other end of the hot circuit. In this case, the second hot wire connection should be all the way to the left and slightly above the right hand hot wire (if you install the box right-side-up it would be all the way to the right and slightly below the left hand hot wire).

For future people watching they incorrectly connected the neutral and hot together on the neutral bus. They fixed it in their next video yet I don’t think they ever mentioned their huge and dangerous mistake. If you have one of these square D sub panels do not do what they did.

The older guy says "He was an electrical contractor in another state" Is that where he learned to land a Neutral and a Hot wire to the same buss? You may wonder why they didn't show a circuit test at the conclusion of the video! This video should be flagged for removal due to dangerous and incorrect procedure.

yeah, you put your hot onto the neutral lug that has plastic around it on 3 sides. The first hot lug is up to the left of that. I almost thought the same thing when I installed mine.

It's also now code that the breaker "ON" must be up not down like here. The panel has been installed upside down. It would be fine if the breakers went east/west the "ON" can be either left or right.

Every day is a chance to learn something new. Read through the comments and many people question many things..... Is the panel mounted up-side down? Can you mount the breakers so off is up? Was th panel marked. "THIS END UP"? Did he physically get the wires in the correct place? Does the building require a seperate ground rod and ground wire? What about a building disconnect switch near or on the outside of the building? This may vary based on your local building department. Another videoer got a permit for his "pole bar" as an "agricultural building" which added extra wiring requirements based on NEC 547 (I BELIEVE). Specific wires or conduits based on expected animals housed/stored there. The building department or your local Electricians are great esources to get everything correct. Inspectors go from jobs items to job site and see many different ways it was done and your locals may have solved a problem last week that do not even know you have. Take care and be safe.

Should have been titled, "How NOT To Wire Your Main Wires For Sub-Panel Electrical Box For Home Garage Pole Barn." Totally rookie errors for "dad" being an electrician.. As soon as that 70 amp breaker in the house "blew" they should have reshot the entire episode. I guess KZfaq doesn't protect us from negligent activity, just "naughty" subjects... Panel was initially installed upside down. Ungrounded phase conductor and neutral (grounded conductor) landed on neutral bar. Where is the GEC and Grrounding electrodes? Never was addressed.

No grounding electrode conductor or electrode? Violation of NEC!
@KevinCoop1 Жыл бұрын
10 months ago I commented that there should be a ground rod (grounding electrode) connected to this panels ground bar as required in Article 250. No comment from anyone! If you do not test the rod to prove 25 ohms or less resistance, then you are required to install two ground rods. The ground rods are for the purpose of sending lightning to Earth, not ground fault in any way.

@@brutally_honest yes it is wrong, electrical panel is up side down, but by code it’s still ok, specially if it is place outside under the elements of Mother Nature, but if panel is installed inside it doesn’t necessarily has to be upside down… as far as wiring goes, he installed the main neutral wire to the neutral bar instead of the neutral main slot and then he installed a main hot to the neutral slot, this is wrong… the first hot he installed should’ve have been installed above the neutral main slot the rest was fine.
