In this YouTube video, Craig Michaud – Electrical Instructor talks about how to operate an electrical 200 or 100amp panel.
Many homes come with one of the circuit breakers that has a rating of 200 amps. Two “hot” wires, both black and red are able to flow 120 volts through them, combining for all of 240 volts. You can also add a white or “neutral” wire to complete the circuit. “neutral” wire. “Neutral” wire “neutral” wire and “ground” need to be joined in order to obtain the primary method for disconnection. Turn off the switch (usually the breaker is a big black switch) in order to prevent power from reaching the wires or other panels like the bus bars.
Verify that the main breaker is 100 amp. This will enable you to determine 100amp breakers. Additionally, there are two “bus bars” inside the panel and power flows through them once the breaker is switched on. Just like the 200ampbreaker, you have to join the “neutral” with the “ground” to obtain the initial method of disconnect.
Being aware of the various parts and how the power flows through them helps you know what’s safe and. what’s dangerous. dzjm6td3vz.
