That is the best video on this topic, you made it real simple to understand. Thank you so much... Every home owner should be watching the video and know it by heart.
I have searched ALL OVER for what you presented here. Thank you! Q: (from this video) WHY a “2 Pole” 40 AMP Breaker? 2 pole is the Double Breaker, right? Last Q.: (happened at my house) An electrician looks inside my 200 AMP Service and says, “Your BUS AMP TOTAL IS 240 AMPS.” What did he look at and figure up in his head in under 60 seconds to KNOW the “240 AMPS” BUS answer ? Thank you!
your bus should say what it is rated for, however to figure out how many amps your particular panel pulls he would have needed to get his multimeter out
I have a 300-amp service with two 150-amp panels, and I need to add a car charger, how can I calculate which panel to use based on the breakers in the panels?
Formula for 2 phase 240v is : P= V x A x 1.41 so A = V x 1.41/ P P= power, V= volts, A= amps , 1.41= square root of 2(2 phases) for 3 phases 1.71- square root of 3
Hi, I want to install Ecosmart 18 tankless water heater, it needs two 40 amp breakers, the main panel already has full spaces of three 50amp and six 20 amp breaker. Can you tell me where I can put more two 40 amp breakers for the water heater? Thanks
The next standard Breaker Size from 30 is NOT 40, there is a 35 amp breaker. (240.6) However, the 35 amp breaker would not work because it only is good for 28 amps on lighting and outlets.

@@TheVirtualElectrician this is great stuff! I just thought that it was ME, who was helplessly stupid
You explanation was immaculate
thanks!
great video,connected alot of dots together for me.
Thanks for watching!!
WOW! You made that so easy to understand. Thanks!!
Glad it was helpful!

I can do a load calc for you. Go to thevirtualelectrician.com and schedule a call with me
OMg finally a quick No BS video!!
thanks!
Concise and to the point, thanks

schedule a call with us at www.thevirtualelectrician.com
Those the 80% rule on the breaker apply to all loads in general or just continuous loads? I'm kinda confuse
please schedule a call with our virtual electrician at www.thevirtualelectrician.com
Continuous loads. Breakers can run at 100%, otherwise
The person that runs the channel doesn't know,
How to calculate total load if we have Both single phase and 3 phase motor?
please visit www.thevirtualelectrician.com
Great job!!
Thank you!
your video editor he/she is awesome
thanks!!
Can I get softcopy of ugly electrical reference
sure thing
Great video ! , just one suggestion , include NEC articles to provide further context.
Great suggestion!
@@TheVirtualElectrician SO, answer the question, please.
How does the length of the circuit affect breaker calculations (i.e.long run to power a light at the end of the driveway)?
voltage drop..... every 100 feet you need to upsize your wire
i thought the 80% rule is only for continuous loads....
check out all the calc videos at www.thevirtualelectrician.com
It is. This video is mistaken
Disregard power factor?
we are not doing a whole home load calculation here. We are simply sizing a circuit based on FLA

i was wondering when someone would point this out
right and wrong
what is wrong?
This would be helpful if it wasn’t solely just a dude talking at us…
you dont have to watch
Bad intro music....critique.
intro is 🔥
You just talking, you never shown any number.! You think all people can understand you???
Thanks so much
You sounded rude. I understood everything. Maybe you are a bit slow?
