- Thanks so much for watching the video!

If you were wondering: This is a SUB panel! That is why there are no larger loads. And because this panel only contains lighting circuits and a couple of basic receptacles, I didn’t spend the time labelling each wire inside of the panel like you typically see me do. :)
Let me know in the comments if you took something from this video OR if you have any advice for other viewers!
Cheers,
Karly

I am an electrician in Germany, very interesting how people im other countries do their job. Thank you for your video!
I think that is one of the first residential panels I have seen with zero 240V breakers. 👍🤠
Nice and clean without going ridiculously overboard like some videos I see where they are clearly just wasting time. I like the service loops! Great job!
That's not electrical work, that's a work of art. 👍
Thanks Karly on the tip about shaping the wires will be trying it have a great weekend be safe
Male or female. Thats the type of craftsmanship everyone should stride for. Kudos
As always, another amazing video! I really appreciate your content, as it helps me improve my work & knowledge as a up and coming apprentice who graduated high school about a year ago!
Please keep the videos rolling! Wishing you a life filled with boundless joy, endless happiness, radiant health, and countless moments of love and success! :)

Appreciate the kind words, JZ! Glad the videos are helpful!
Amazing great job, your dedication to work quality is really astounding in todays world
Nice and neat work
Amazing video as always here Karly
Nice and very good and organised work and good luck
Beautiful job!
One thing I miss about working in the US after coming back to the UK, the panel size. So many customers here want a 14 way panel and they're like 12-18 inches wide by 12 inches tall and it's just not enough space for future circuits or even terminating circuits with a decent amount of slack cable.
Thank you so much for this great video! Been looking for a good way to make the panel neat and organized.
Gorgeous panel
That is cool, neat and very professional...
Well done. Keep up the good work, and thank you for sharing. I greatly appreciate your tips and tricks.
Very nicely done!
Excellent job 💯
A very good Saturday morning to you all from Wellington Somerset in the UK 🇬🇧
Amazing content
Thanks for the excellent info speedy Gonzales
Wow! You are speedy! Especially when doing the second half! I’m out of breath 😮
Wow nicest panel I’ve even seen!! 10/10
Super thanks good job
You make it look easy.
Work of art
Amazing lady ❤🎉
Carly love your panel almost looks like mine only difference is I do services loops on my neutrals also. Hugz Pamela
Beautiful work, Karly! Thanks for showing us how it is done.
This is what I need more of to learn
Lovely because I love electric since I was born!
Great job. How much actual time invested from start to finish?
so speedy on that second half much wow!!
This is truly an art form even Michelangelo would like this
That is real fast work.
It’s called editing..
87 Years working electrical, started when I was 7yrs old. This is exactly how we used to do it.
I don’t know that I believe you 😂, but if it’s true, congrats on a long career
What 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 you started college at 7 ???
It was definitely a little different then with screw in fuse panels
Because I imagine if you start somewhere in late 30s or early 40s you installed fuse boxes for your first 20 years, most breakers started being installed in mid 60s .
My mom has to sign for me to start at 7 years old. My brother lost his hand the year prior at age 5. No labor laws back then. Can barely read and write today but I don't regret it. Only have vision in one eye now but at least I'm not a soft handed wussy like my friends
Best electrician on youtube. This was awesome. Thank you for sharing and making it quick and easy with enough explanation to understand.
I just figured out you live in the same city as me hahah! Lets gooo! Keep up the great content!
Hello my friend your electrical video's awesome ❤
why did you not land the pig tails on the arc fault breakers?
Clean af. Great video
I hope that electricians in Canada and the US appreciate the amount of real estate you guys have in your boards. In Sweden, and most countries in Europe, we basically have no open area apart from just under 2” between the breakers. All wires are behind the breakers and are basically impossible to see or get to when the breakers are installed. We have the option to remove the mounting rails but it’s not easy to do with between 12 to 18 breakers mounted and wired in.
I don’t get why we can’t have bigger panels, they’re often recessed into the walls in residential buildings so they could have given us som more space for management of the wires.
Is this a regulation thing, though? Or just being cheap? Boxes and rails are what you make them to be. Anything to lo lower costs. Also historically there might have been less electrical apparata to connect, so as time goes by, new stuff is added into existing boxes.
@ it’s not a regulatory thing, it’s just what we have available on the market. In all boards the DIN rails go from side to side, in very few cases there’s a space of less than 1” of space on the sides. Proposing a bigger board to a customer just to make the installation look good, never to be seen, and to make a very unlikely fault finding easier is a hard sell.
@@kristiangoransson6104you’re wiring is like germanys yea? Mainly DIN mounted and industrial looking?
wow, this looks amazing. How long does this normally take you to wire a panel like this?
Great work! When you land the neutral wires, do you order them the same top to bottom as the breakers? So that the top neutral wire would match with the top breaker?
Great !!!
This appears to be a sub panel, much easier to bring the wires in through the top of the panel with the mains at the bottom. Can you show us how you wire the main panel? There’s nothing larger than 20A in this panel. I’d be interested seeing how you terminate the teck cable feeding this panel. Also how you terminate wires coming into the sides of a panel, which is much more common on the main house panel.
If u think the house might get solar. Leave a spot for a big breaker furthest away from the main which is usually at the bottom.if the service is coming at the top.
Love that you are wearing safety glasses!!! Top notch job
😂😂😂 hur dur
Damn good looking .... panel 😊
Karly this is great. Keep making these videos! I teach construction at a youth corrections facility for girls. I already have some of your videos in my electrical playlist and use them in my lessons. My students need great female trade role models like you!
Real time video 😂awesome!
Any thoughts starting the breakers bottom to top?
Would it make it easier to add circuits in the future?
I like your working style karly desde pr
Looks neat and tidy As a uk spark do you have to coordinate your earth wires and neutrals to the live .ie the live in breaker 1 corresponds to the earth and n in terminal 1 or are you allowed to do it randomly
Awesome 👌
do you organize your neutrals and grounds in the same order as the breakers? Making troubleshooting easier in the future.
Art work.
Nice 👍
wiring asmr perfect
Beautiful work. I noticed you did not leave the sleeve labels on. Wouldn't it be better to leave them on for labeling and for future service.
I have seen her do that before and I have seen her use a label maker designed for that. She probably just didn't show that step.
Nice
Good work and looking lovely girl ❤️
Your work is amazing! I’ll be starting my apprenticeship soon and this video is super helpful.
❤❤Karly❤❤
WOW !
How often you replace a panel
You are so smart Karly.
how many hours?
How long does this whole process take you?
Are panels laid out this clean typical of pro electricians or is she a stand out in that way? I'm ignorant to the trade, but I'm fascinated by the process. I put together as a hobby guitar effects pedals, and I struggle with wire organization (on a much smaller scale).
This is not typical of residential work in the US where production take precedence over quality. Commercial is a different animal. Karly is a tribute to her craft.
Most residential sparks don’t give a shit how it looks as long as its code. I mean nobody will see it anyways
Much more difficult with stranded 😊
wow and peace be upon you from me
🎉🎉🎉🎉

Where are the labels ?
Hey Karly, Fantastic channel. Question? When you bundle and tyrap the wires like that ... doesn't it derate them somewhat? And isn't there a CSA code rule for that? I mean if you take say, I don't know ?, 9 circuits and run say 12 Amps through each of the bundled blacks ... how long will it take for them to catch fire? Usually horizontal raceways are derated even though the heat rises into the air above the bundle but in your case with a short vertical rise ... it has got to be worse? Just wondering? Maybe humour the youtube folks on a cold morning, grab/borrow a bunch of 1500W heaters, bundle the blacks and whites separately for a few vertical feet ( shit I mean cm maybe mm? Canadians like big numbers ) , and sit back and measure the heat rise with that nice new fancy infrared camera I think you were showcasing the other day ( or your cold hands ). And just say some youtube jackass dared me to do this ;-). I really have no idea what would happen and regardless I'd hire you anyways everyday/any day to do my panels like that ( they truly are works of art ) ... my insurance company would never need to know ... huh? unless I make a nice clear lexan glass panel cover to showcase your glowing/infrared radiant masterpieces ;-). PS all of that just humour - have a great week/month.
Have you ever been shocked?
That's real time 🤔
Hm? … I can only imagine the look on the city🕵️♂️inspector when he sees the work you’ve done on an electrical panel for the very first time! 👁️👁️
🥵🔥
Why don’t you show the floor at the end?? 🤔
Отменный монтаж щита
Panel tharmines
Damn. I thought i did my panel pretty decent. Guess not. If your ever in northern Wisconsin u wanna stop by and redo my panel. The inspectors are probably like oh it a karley job no need to inspect the panel
Hope you priced that job by the circuit and not by the hour, seeing how fast you completed it all "in real time" 😆
It’s edited..
Those eyes...
Get a life bro
lies. was clearly in 0.25 speed
Why is everybody using romex??? Where’s the emt
because romex is superior in residential… 😂 nobody fucking uses emt unless there is a need for it. There isn’t a need for it here. You European or some shit?
LET’s GO HALFSIES ON A BABY KARLY ❤❤❤❤❤
anybody and their momma can do a panel, bend some 1" or 1.25" ......pull some feeder wire, 500 if you can ....
That shat is sexy ...noice!!
I wish Romex was illegal everywhere.
Why? It’s far better than needing fucking conduit everywhere.
That's because you're stupid
Pop over to the uk and play with proper electricity not 110
like plaiting your hair
Is the lowest switch in the middle a Main switch ?
how long does this take to complete start to finish? 3-4 hours? and real residential electrician knowing the tight timelines knows there's no time for this.
Tf you going in about?
Incorrect, stupid
