Wow cmon man. Electricity does NOT want to go to ground. Electricity WANTS to seek its source. The GEC (grounding electrode conductor is there to protect the homes occupants, electrical system and utilities equipment upstream of lightning. That’s it. Period. Shouldn’t post that kind of info about grounding if you do not understand it.
Can't use the panel as a junction box, i.e., the doorbell transformer. We would have been gigged for that here in NC, unless we left "gift" for the electrical inspector.
Electricity doesn't "try to go to the ground." If you connect one terminal of a battery to a light bulb and then run a wire from the bulb to a stake in the ground it won't light. "Well-behaved" electricity (electricity that is deliberately generated from a battery or generator) returns to its source on the opposite polarity. That's why you need to run a wire back to the other terminal of the battery for the bulb to light. The transformer is the source in the case of a house. Non well-behaved electricity like static or transients can be discharged to ground because the earth is relatively huge so it can absorb the excess electrons.
NEC allows branch circuits run through main area of panel? In Canada no branch circuits are permitted to enter panel in main breaker section unless it's a sub panel.

Seems like this video is old. Now, damn near every circuit in a house needs to be arc faulted.
Good real electrician
Horrible
Lose the thing in your ear.
good video
Surge suppressor conditions power eh?
This is why I'm giving being an electrician up
I’m using this as a back up plan if my first job idea doesn’t work out.
No PPE?

Been in the trade since 95
Need a taller ladder and pants
In the UK All LV 400/230v systems are grounded to earth as a refrence point…And has nothing to do with the magnetic pole of the earth..
“Non-metallical” lmao
What a mess. Beautiful house. But horrible electrical work. My opinion Hire Unión Electricians.
Explanation of grounding at 8:20 is complete bunk.
Wire nuts in a fresh installed panel? It's a bonding wire,not a ground wire.What's the height of that main breaker?
How does an electrical "contractor" not know how to wire a couple of 3 ways and a 4 way switch? Lol

I don't like ladders
Mains are to short.
Meter looks low, main breaker and branch looks high. Very messy work in the panel, I would have picked a cleaner job to make a video.
What would you generally price a panel and meter swap cost for?
The panel is so messy, he even knew when he opened it haha.
why do you have your branch circuits running through your main breaker section?
Thanks for the video! If you own a small business check out Markate – My Business App or Markate.Pro

Splices in panels are not allowed
Non union unschooled sloppy hacks drug punks
A fault wants to go back to source not to earth grounding , thats for lighting to be distibuted to ground and for all mtal to be of same potential
Tool belts? nah their better than that.
