Joshua Peterson with Peterson Electric, here on the second part of the phase of our video. We showed you this morning what it looked like with our simple meter that was over this spot and the panel in the back. This is what we had to create today. We re-fed power to the panel in here, which is now a junction box, we will show you that, into our brand new panel right here, then to our meter here. Our meter powers up through our new post. We sealed this cap right here. We fed down to an 2 inch conduit, a 100 amps downstairs to feed the sub-panel. We also have our grounding bridge for our low voltage comcast guys, then our ground right here going to the cement, and as well we have a #4 wire going to bond the cold water pipe downstairs. Inside here is our Siemens panel, which has a sticker, which shows it is U.L. Listed. Here is all our new breakers and 200 amp main. This is the setup of what we have done. I will show you real quick the inside of the panel. In the inside is our 2 AWG copper. We ran copper for these guys because they wanted copper instead of aluminum for there feeders, which is fine. It is just a little bit more secure over time. The copper doesn’t expand and contract. Inside are all our grounds that we have, our cold water, our bond bushing that jumpers between meter and the can. Here is our 100 amp sub-feed going down here. Here is all our branch circuits going in here. If they need to add any more circuits, it is really simple. All they have to do is add more wires in there. We still have a ton of space to use up. Let’s go inside here real quick and show you how this turned out with our junction box. Here is how it turned out. We just spliced every single wire with a hot and neutral and re-fed down here to our disconnect box. Basically, real simple instead of that being a disconnect box that is our junction box. We labeled it. Instead of a FPE panel, we have an FPE junction box. All it is “J” box. We couldn’t put a panel because they would have to move the whole door and the wiring and re-framed. So we decided to chase nipple through here, bring all of our wires, that extend back into the home. This house now has 2 junction boxes, a main panel, a meter and a sub-panel downstairs. Let me show you up on the roof, so you can see the full scope of work. Here is our overhead service mast. It goes up 4 foot high, so we have a guide wire and attached it to the truss and tar it. We have a roof jack, our guide cable for our power company tomorrow, our 3 conductors that are copper at 2 AWG for 200 amps, then we even capped this for them, the old feed. Just a simple plumbers cap, radiator clamp and capped it off. We don’t have to worry about it. Thanks for joining us. This job took us about 15 hours just to do, not including all the planning and all the fees involved. Typically, it is about a $4,000.00 job, when we do this amount of work, setting a sub-panel, doing a junction box, the grounding and the overhead service. If you have any questions or need some work done, we would be more than happy to help you. Give us a call 720-641-8866. Thanks and we will see you next week!
