I really hope this is for demonstration purposes only. You put a square D breaker in what I assume is a GE panel, since all the other breakers are GE. That’s a no no, and would fail electrical inspection. You have to use the same brand breakers in a panel. We know some fit others, but some seem like they fit, but actually do not. I think that should be mentioned here, since a lot of beginners are watching this.

Excellent...Amateur here (since I wired my whole house in 1986). My main panel has the combined neutral/earth bar on the left of the panel. That means I am going to have to use extension neutral wires for A: the pig tail and B: the circuit neutral. It can soon look like a bird's nest if I do not use plenty of wire and route the 2 neutral extensions right round the rim of the box ... Comments ?

Mr. Michaud thanks for this very informative video, I do have a question, can the gfci receptacles be pigtailed or they have to be in a daisy chain? For instance can you connect the two neutrals and make one with pigtail, same with the two hots so you end up with two conductors only neutral and hot and the two conductors be connected to line of the receptacle?

Great video. Can the neutral involved in this hookup also serve as the neutral for another hot wire that is on the other "leg" of the service coming into the house? Or does it have to be dedicated, so the potential difference you referred to as the cause of tripping does not occur?

No. Neither a GFI or AFCI breaker will work on a shared neutral circuit. The current on the shared neutral will be out of balance with the hot wire of either circuit. This causes shared circuit breaker to trip off. I know this from both theory and experience.

Hi, thanks for the videos. I had a question. I'm building a food truck and a guy on a video mentioned that he has tampered resistant outlets and he says if you use tamper resistant you must use a gfi or use a gfi breaker. Should I use just gfi breakers or use all gfi outlets or use just one gfi outlet closest to the breaker to cover the other outlet? Thanks
@portertaylor945
2 жыл бұрын
GFI protection should be present for any receptacle within 6 ft. of running water (like a sink, shower) in a residence. This protection can be provided either by a GFI outlet or the breaker on that circuit. This is independent of tamper-resistant outlets. TR outlets should now be used in any livable part of a residence. I cannot say what the rules are for a food truck, however.

Craig I have a question. Why would a GFCI outlet read good for wiring. Then you plug something into the outlet and it trips the GFCI breaker? I’m new to GFCI breakers and apparently so is the electrician I am working with. The issue started when I had a regular breaker in my box. Everything worked great, no problems. Per our city code we had to remove the regular breaker and put a GFCI breaker. Now every time I plug something into an outlet that is connected to a GFCI receptacle the GFCI breaker trips. Why? I’m guessing it is the way the neutral wire is hooked up. Can you help me?

I built my house about 25 years ago before these things were around but over the last 10 years I've added a few circuits to my house including a sub panel for an AC unit and also wired up a couple other houses where I remodeled the interiors. I did the wiring on them including replacing the main panels but I specifically didn't use these as I had heard horror stories about these things causing nuisance trips and the fact they are about 4 times more expensive than a standard breaker. Are the stories about nuisance trips real and/or have these things been improved where they don't cause issues anymore?
