You can. He catches details like derating the SER because its a feeder and securing the romex within 1 foot of the panel that most electricians I know miss.

Thank you so much for this video. I'm doing a travel trailer remodel into a tiny home and we are ditching the distro panel for a breaker box so we can run more power into the unit and have full size appliances. This gives me the confidence to take the project on!!!

Great video! I like how instead of you telling us what you think is correct, you have the professionals who KNOW what is correct doing the instruction! Time to go check out some of your other videos now!

Best subpanel installation video I have seen! Thanks for all the amplifying information and shopping list. Most people at the big box stores do not provide the information.

Yep watched a number of them and they were missing something. This is THOROUGH 😊😊😊

This is an impressive video. Very organized and thorough and well thought out. I really like that, instead of just adding the usual "I'm not an electrician" disclaimer you actually brought a professional electrician in to do parts of the video. It's also very well filmed.

I learned alot watching this guy do his work. He obviously has done this before. Thanks for making this.

Great video. I added a line to a QO 100amp sub box to power a GFCI and a security light and the first thing I did wrong was I got the wrong breaker. After getting the proper QO circuit breaker I was stumpped on how to wire it correctly. I was going to make the same mistake as this video. But I decided to look for a video explaining how to wire a the circuit breaker to the sub box. After looking for a half day on KZread and Google. I found your video And it is the most extensive of all the videos on KZread. Tomorrow I will be finishing the circuit breaker install. Thank you

Thank you for consolidating all of this information into a very professionally made video. I will have to be doing this installation soon, and this reference seems to be a good trustworthy one-stop-shop. As a courtesy for your efforts, I've also liked, subscribed, and clicked the bell for your channel. Thank you

I have done Electrical 35:23 Engineering but didn't work in the field. Starting watching the video and it's helping a lot. Thank you very much. Keep up doing a good job.

Absolute amazing video, lot of information and well explained, I’m impressed, I looked everywhere to find information about this. I’m very grateful. Thank you do much.

Thanks for making this video, it was just what I needed to see how to wire a sub panel in my garage!!!!!!!! Great job !!!!!!!!!

This was a really good watch. Very informative, especially for someone that's a little too scared of electricity.

Dude your video is amazing. I just saw it and you give practically all the info: what you can do and what you can not do according to the NEC. Thank you

I have severe ADD and usually learn by watching. I have to say this video and demonstration is so good I feel confident I could actually pull this off! Thank you for posting a great video! New subscriber ! ☺️

Great electrical instructions. Very precise and easy to understand and especially without dumb music in the background.

Great video..accurate and informative description for the novice do-it-yourselfer would like to see more for different type panels..

A lot of great info being presented in a way that is very easy to understand. Well done.

I just started watching this video and I paused it just to say Thank you. Great Job!

55 years in the trade as a State Licensed Journeyman Electrician / Sub Contractor and the only time that I have ever used Aluminum Wiring was for a underground feeder from the Outside 120/240 VAC 200 Amp Meter base on a Power pole to a Main Panel ! And that was a USE Triplex Direct Burial cable approved by the Power Company and AHJ . I sleeved it in 2 '' Schedule 80 PVC Conduit buried 24 '' below grade for a 50' run .

For example Main House panel to Workshop 100 amp sub panel the direct burial cable you would use is "Triplex Direct Burial"? That is only 3 lines, I do not need four like this video talks about?

I like this video. It's explanations are simple and logical to remember.

Excellent work and demonstration Gents. Thank you

I'm thinking I would have come out of that panel on the right side and relocated (2) of the circuits to the MLO panel on the left so that all of the sub panel feeders are derived from the same feeder from the main. Sad that someone would wire a sub panel without an EGC but it's rewarding to know that good electricians can identify this issue and make it right. Nice video I enjoyed watching it.

I just love the use of a torque driver on the connections.

Most underated electrical video

Always wear gloves and tape all of your screwdrivers to the hilt. And NEVER PILE TOOLS BELOW THE BUSS BAR IN A HOT PANEL..... BOOM.....you'll thank me!!!!

This is an AMAZING amount of material... you should be an instructor! SO well done!

I like your video. I put labels directly on the circuit breakers so I know which breakers are which even when the cover is off. (It only took me 20 years to figure that out!)

You're in my hood! I recognized this Lowes and the Lex Athletic Club as soon as it panned through. +1 sub - looking to put in a sub panel soon, thanks for all the info!

Kudos to you for catching the derating. Your deox isn't required on an A8000 series alloy, which all aluminum wire is required to be since the 80's. It isn't bad to use though. It is only required when reworking old actual aluminum connections. And you got the supports within a foot of the box.

James, I followed 2020 NEC from 310.14.(A).(3). To annex B and only found references to outside the NEC. I suspect his advice is both accurate and conservative and like you, would love to see a chart or way to calculate this. I suspect something use to be in the code books. If you find anything please let me know.

Thanks for another cool video, one thing I have to mention though is that how the sub panel is grounded is never mentioned. Yes the neutral is isolated from the box and a new ground bar is added but the box and that ground bar need to be connected to a real ground- ground bar into the earth, I.E.
