I would like give a great thank you for your work done on RUclips. With your instructions I was able to pass the master Electrician exam, in VA. Thank You Michael D Lewis
Just wanted to let you know, you and the electrical code coach got me through my apprenticeship, I've been a journeyman for 2 years now and I'm refreshing watching these videos to take my masters. Thank you for all you so craig
Really appreciate it brother .I’m slow at these Calculations and understanding the layout sometimes, and these videos are very helpful. Love every video you put out .Please keep it up it’s always good to go back and refresh on some of the other videos. Definitely spreading the word about your videos to others. 👍🏼🇺🇸
Thank you Craig! This helped refresh my memory on this table. Also, don't forget about note 4 which means you can use this table to size your branch circuit load, your range.
10:40 had me for a second. I was asking myself, where the hell did the 1 come from 🤷🏻♂️. Maybe it’s just me, I feel like doing the 1200w plus 8kw, first and getting that down, would have helped me understand the 1 a lot faster. I appreciate the video, I was stumped in a practice book I have and you helped me get through it. God bless!
Appreciate you and the way you teach is amazing! Thank you for your help and keep up the great work! I’ve learned better from you than books with this stuff in them.
The best explanations ever! Like I was wondering where does the #1 comes from. Also you me realise we're talking about service size & not for the actual oven-range lol i really reallylike how you or brake down from book phrasing - wording to real life language in the actual field, i can install entering but to understand this code book 😴. Please continue like this so peeps like me can understand. I am electrician for some years, but when it comes to read books it's a mess lol thank you, thank you. Have a blessed day. Marcelo from NY
Love what you do brother ive been in the electrical field for 5 years now and still learn new things almost everyday! Wish you made videos more often!!
I am working on new videos and will be gearing up for a more consistent schedule in the next month!! Please stay posted!! Thank you for your support!! CM
I’m currently studying for my journeymen exam… Mann you been really helpful in my journey. God bless you, I love how you guide us through the process. You make it easy. 🙌🏼👍🏼
Thank you!! These video's are not the video's that excites people. They are here to help people. That is what I enjoy doing, helping guys understand the code!! Thank you for watching!! CM
@@craigmichaud-electricalins4602 @Craig Michaud- Electrical Instructor @Craig Michaud- Electrical Instructor Question: what is the purpose of the neutral pigtail on the GFCI breaker? Why does the neutral from the circuit have to be directly bonded to the breaker but the neutral pigtail gets connected to the neutral bus bar? This is the only thing that I don't understand.
@@KenKaneki-xh7by it works just like a GFCI outlet. It reads the the difference in potential from the ungrounded and grounded conductors. I will do a video to explain it in the future!! CM
I'm currently studying in preparation of sitting for the journeymen exam, and your videos have been essential in that process. Thank you so much, I've learned more from your tutorials, than I did at school. Thanks!
Ok Column A and B are used as multipliers to get a new Kw sum, but column C is the number to be used in the calculation (8,11,14,17) etc. Thanks for the great content!
Hello Craig I love your videos and the way you teach and I really would like to see more videos explaining the nec by article starting from article 90. Thanks.
Thank you so much for this video Mr M. Love all your videos. Do you think you could make a video talking about grounding & bonding & the difference between them. As always thank you
Around 1:25 you talk about a equation, but stated you already made a video on that. What is that equation and could you provide a link to that video please? It would be very helpful.
Very Good break down . I have one question for last part of column C . So to make sure I understand your over under on 12kw . The question is even if your 15kW and you calaculate your 15% your still starting the calculation at 8kw and not 15kw ? Always calculate with 8kw , in column C ?
Yes you are correct!! You use the 8000 and multiply the 15%. I also just take the 8000 and multiple it by 1.15 and get my answer without having to remember to add it to the 8000. Glad this helped you! CM
Just to clarify if they are all 12kw then you just use the number of ranges in column C. That would be 14000va as the demand for all three!! I know it seems confusing but as long as you remember the rules in each column then you will be good!! Hope this helps. Great comment!! CM
What if there are three different appliances with three different ratings. Like when you have double wall ovens but then an induction cooktop as well. The two ovens are the same and under the 8k rating but the cooktop is under the
I have not but I am going to be doing a lot of calculation videos in the future!! It’s a lot of prep but I will add this to my list of things to do!! Thanks!! CM
@@craigmichaud-electricalins4602 thank you for taking the time out to respond Happy New Year I enjoy all your videos do you have an online DVD course test study from the Masters. I live in Florida
Im studying for state ca commercial inspector exam . This was super helpful . What about 1 range at 40 kw? Notes only mention up to 27k . This is a practice question I ran into but scratching a quart of ice cream over it
Just wanted to touch base to find out if you offered classes online and how could I sign up. Just took my exam, I needed a 70% but got a 63%. The testing center believes that I'm week in these areas Service and service equipment and feeders. If you offer online classes I would love attend.
What do you mean by sizing service you mean the home run for the stove-range or the main service entrance to the house- dwelling. Can you explain or say it again? Thank you
So I'm understanding a little bit but I'm very lost on if you have more than 26 ranges for example if I have 27 12kw ranges could you walk me through that?
Hey Craig which book should I buy to study for my Electrical masters license exam for va ? Is there any special or just the NEC code book. 2017 or 2020 book? Thanks for everything
Hey brother I’m sorry to bother you but I was just wondering my local IBEW isn’t taking applications at the moment and even if they do I don’t know if I’ll be able to get in. Is there any other option for me to become a licensed electrician without the IBEW? Could I get the same sufficient schooling somewhere else without their apprenticeship?
Absolutely there are more ways to get schooling and an apprenticeship. email me at sparkyinstructor@gmail.com and I will get back to you. This way Would be the best to contact me. Thanks. CM
Good instructor really made me understand Table 220.55
I watched this video 3 years ago and it was alot to me. Now I watch it and I played the video on the fastest speed and I understood everything. Thanks

With bad knees lol
Do gas stoves count in this calculation if not then is it counted it at all
They do not as they get plugged into the small appliance circuit!! CM
How do you calculate conductors and overcurrent for welding machines?
So if all three ranges are 12 kw exactly do you add them up then minus the 14000 how do you go about that it I’m lost

Hey Great Video, What about if you have two Range of 7500 W and 15000 W how you solve that?.
awesome i was like a deer in the headlights for sec.. But now it's all coming together..
could you do a video That calculates demand loads on multiple ranges like with say (3)9kw and (3)14kw ranges.
Hello can you help me wit this exercise
A custom home has a 16kw range what is the minimum service demand that the load requires?
how would I calculate column c where i have more than 41 ranges?
More videos please 🙏
