How to Feed a New Panel - Underground (in-depth voiceover)
If you saw my last video, I installed 16 LED lights inside of this barn. HERE is the in-depth tutorial on how we brought power over for the new lights!
DISCLAIMER: ALWAYS HIRE A PROFESSIONAL
THIS IS ONE OF MANY WAYS TO FEED PANELS!!

I get hooked to watching different trades, I'm not even an electrician. I'm a carpenter/welder. Keep up the good work!
Great filming and narration Karly! And loved the part where you mentioned that you wish you had turned the printing on the PVC toward the back to hide it - shows how proud you are of your work and want to make it look neat and professional - great to see!

Some AHJ want to be able to read the markings, especially were schedule 80 pvc is required vs schedule 40
I do solar and we use the same type of stuff. 😂❤ loved you eyeballing your measurements with your hand. I do the same thing all the tike 😂
So why didn't you just go straight from LB through the wall and into the main panel?

I would say because the single conductor in the pvc isn’t fireproof rated to enter a bldg. Same as in the USA, Underground Residential Distribution ( URD ) cable has to terminate at the exterior of a structure.
Since that "Teck cable", ACWU, doesn't have the jacket sheathing the conductors under the armor you are supposed to use a bushing like what is used with AC90 cable. Other than that looks like a good install, I'd prefer the J-box turned a 1/4 rotation so the top of the box is less likely to hold water, and water running off the top will not run down the sides of the box.
Karly; Love your videos! We are always our own worst critique's!
That’s a sweet job! I would like to see a video on wiring up a meter to breaker box and what wires are needed in detailed. Thanks 🙏
Those polaris split bolts have saved me SO MUCH headache in recent years...no more rubber, electrical and tension tapes working together for me. Life lasts, next step in this area would be some sort of compression-insultated way of splicing.
Great job 👏
Nice work.
Very Nice Karly, very nice !!!! 👌
Amazing ❤❤❤😊
Your rocking it young Lady!
Good job & good finishing ...❤
Parabéns Karly.
Acetone is good for removing writing off of pvc

Do you guys put weep holes in the bottom of those PVC J boxes? I put a few 3/16 holes in to let the water out that always gets in by that PVC Male. I have found standing water in those without and joints being corroded.
those polaris connectors are awesome,not cheap tho.

Exactly what I was thinking, so nice and sweet to work with but I believe they like $20-$30 a piece.
Very professional work. Again, what happened to your PPE?
Execellent👍
Hello my friend your video awesome
Hi, would you mind showing how to run a wire for a comfort cove heater. Thanks
good work , but i wanna see some permits
I assume you placed the hub on the seal tight in the JB
Didn't notice any outlet gasket or duct seal compound between the junction box and the hole in the exterior wall.
Use plumbers primer to get the writing off the conduit. Or acetone nail polish remover

Since i'm from Austria and we have different regulations and material i never heard about anything called DB2 before. So i asked google about it and it appears that DB2 is just some pipe thats made of pvc. So if it's already made of pvc, why does your code say you have to change it to pvc?
How many years do you have to work before getting an apprentice?
What kind of boots do you wear
Как мило, пальчиками расстояние мерить! Шапка-огонь!
👍
Your a very smart girl
Why not solder the connections?
잘하네
Did you mention the wires were aluminum? Do you know the reasoning why the conduite has to be changed to pvc coming out of the ground... Great video...

The pipe underground isn’t even listed for electrical raceway, it’s DWV pipe and its diameter wall doesn’t meet the physical protection properties of electrical conduit….hence, the transition

@@GypsyMoFoJoe thats not dwv pipe. its intended for underground or concrete encasement only. it has a thinner wall and is not UV light rated
TIL about underground conduit.
