Electrical Wiring Basics

Oh gosh! Thank you so much!!! You explained it so very well. I think I finally understand how it works. Thank you!!!!!

To clarify the wire labeling, 12-2 w/G means 2 current-carrying conductors and a grounding conductor. The purpose of the round, as you stated is to provide a low-resistance path to ground for safety. It is usually attached to the metal parts of an appliance so that if the hot wire should come in contact with the case it will trip the breaker before shocking a person touching the case.

You're the best, thanks for taking the time to teach us in this easy way to understand...

How to connect a dimmer switch ?

Thank you my guy this is been very helpful as a complete beginner I got to take some really good notes and I'm starting to feel like I'm getting it thank you for your efforts and keep up the good work!

Your the man

This is a way better method of learning versus trial and err.... bzzt! Trial and err... bzzt! Trial and err... bzzt!

J/k - Great video. Thank you!

Why dont American sockets have on/off switches on them?

Great lesson.

Imma say this, in a time where the attention span of most is less than five minutes, and your video has that many views with long form content, great job! I feel your passion to teach with everything you say, thanks again.

1.5 years later into my hvac trade and someone finally explains this properly. i swear i wasted months scratching my head in the beginning trying to understand great technicians explain this. it wasnt their fault, they werent teachers. you nailed it

I’m starting electric school Tuesday . I know completely nothing hopefully it goes good 😊 I’m watching your videos to learn basic terms to be ready for the 6 month course . Thanks

I just figured out 3 way switches boys. Fuck yeah, it feels good to understand. I hated being in school having no idea what was going on

Great explanations!!

Thanks man, that was a great video. i learned a lot. please make more because i subscribed to your channel, especially about the complicated outlets and switches.

Great explanation, that cleared it up for me. Thanks a lot. 👍

I've been playing with wires without a clear explanation for weeks. I've been shown and know how to find "hot" but I don't fuckin understand how I decode a rats nest inside a box. This was beyond helpful and I'll absolutely be back to watch it again.

Great video. I don't think you can make it much easier than this. 👍

Thank you sir

I had a hard time with learning basic wiring and electricity in school, and now that I’m 21 and looking into trade school, becoming an electrician has become a real possibility for me. This video was incredibly informative and comprehensive to someone who feels like they know less than nothing, so I really really appreciate it!! Thank you so much

this video gave me a understanding perspective of how basic electrical current works. I.m starting electrician curses through my union in march 2024 and will be taking more notes from your videos. thanks.

amazing, thank you

Wait, so you don't splice the two neutrals? Beginner here lol

Thank you

Thank you for your time sir! This was a straight forward answer to my question

Well explained, looking forward to your next wiring class.

Thank you so much. Really helped me start understanding this topic!

Excellent instruction. Best I've seen on any subject.
Thank you.

Pittsburgh pa in the buildings love brother u literally are a life saver

Subscribed, you’re fantastic at teaching this and your way of explaining things made it easy to understand.

The color code lines and explanations were very understandable good job.

Let me buy you a coffee and a doughnut brother.

Thank you!

awesome

Love the explanation it’s really helpful but the outlets you did are wired in series I thought it’s supposed to wired in parallel

Thank you so much my friend

This is the first video I've watched that made it all make sense for me. Thank you!

Awesome brother i got a pops n brother who are electricians but I understood what u said lol

very nice, made good sense.

I'm an old school dik head electrician and was here to ball bust ... but buddy hell you understand these methods better than 75%of the subcontractors that are wiring multi million doll hair homes ... nicely done I'm actually going to pass this on to my new green horns because I'm about to choke the life out of them... I've explained shown and even had them wire them,,, then weekend hits Monday morning its like their brains are wiped clean... but nice job fella ... P.O.B pat on the back

The wire we use depends on the application in which we are installing it ie industrial commercial residential wet damp location underground pvc emt or explosive resistant... and using the neutrals as a switch leg or hot was practiced for many years as it was easier for the methods of the time... codes have changed as well depending on which code areas have adopted all junction boxes require a neutral from that circuit no more dead end 3ways or 4ways or California 3ways ... we only count the ground when doing box fill

The best explanation ever. Thank you good sir!

great explanation and simple

Congrats on what is the best beginner electrical video I have seen! I really like the electrical diagram COMBINED with actual switches and wires. This helps visualize the theoretical with the practical real life appliances. Thank you!!

Awesome keep the videos coming 👍🏼
