Looking at the sawmill in the background makes me homesick. I had a lot of spruce on the backside of my property and when clearing ground stacked it and other types of trees so to be used in the future. I saved thousands of dollars on forms as I used trees from the property and made my own forms as the bakelite forms are expensive. I made all my foundation forms and some sheds that had poured walls;; I had everything out of pocket and to start out with house and property paid for was a large step into the future of my business as a mechanic. I put in my own shop and it was big enough to have three lifts and room to park a few disabled rigs needing repair and my service truck. Took me a long time to unpack my "suitcase" or service truck as I worked out of it long enough to buy my place. Three years after I was permanent and truck was gone, a forest fire put me homeless again... a sick feeling

As a welder I have had to hook up 440 welding banks and also done some wiring on my house. But I have never put in new service. To a house, the 360 rule on the conduit is something I didn’t know about. Again very nice 👍 job.

Nice Job Jesse! That was very interesting to see how the electical Power is Wired in the US. I´m Electitian too, but in Germany. Here we put in every House/ Appartment 3 Live Wires and PE/N. Usually we have 230V between L and PE/N and 400V between L1 and L2 for Example. AC at 50Hz In my House, the Mainfuses are 3x 63Amp (for the 3 Live Wires), also a 3x 60Amp Meter. Then it goes to a Subpanel in my Appartment and another Subpanel to my Garage. The normal electric Plug for Vacs, Fridge or TV is fused with 16 Amp, 230 V AC. Then there are Power Plugs for Machines like Concrete Mixer, Wood Splitter, Lathe or Cranes. These Powerplugs have Conection to all 3 Live Wire. The smallest has 3x 16Amp (11kW), then the next bigger has 3x 32 Amp (22kW) , 3x 63 Amp (43kW) and 3x 125Amp (86kW).

I'm Electitian in Russia, now we do the same. 230-240/380-400 But here i don't understand the scheme here. The transformer output must be L1-L2-N, where 220 between L1-L2 and 127 between L-N. Here i see it. But for working like this it must have L1-L2-N 7kV at input. And i see only one phase cabel with grounded braid. I dont understand how we can get two phases at the output.

It is nice when the primary is a higher voltage, I am at the end of a run just about and it is stepped down we used to have so many issues when we ran the big pump motors. Now it is just residential on the run and it stays nice usually 122-124 VAC. When the neighbor turns on their pump you can still tell sometimes the drop and brown out is sad. I did electrical for equipment rooms and res panels and I just followed what that inspector wanted. I kept a card with notes for each inspector in the area because they did not agree on things. Just easier to give them what they wanted. Nice video.
