A lot of green apprentice electricians ask about how panels work, and more specifically what the roll of the circuit breaker is.

Thanks for this very informative
keep it going man.
Thank you for explaining this without making the viewer feel like a dumbass!
ohhh so even if you use just one breaker, and one receptacle, the resistance of the wire in the building is enough to slow down the current so it doesn't blow up? Is what I gather.
But a direct connection of those large wires would not offer much resistance and so you get hella motion
You say "a difference of potential between these two hots" – isn't it the hot and the neutral that have the big difference in potential? I thought the two hots were just going to different sides of the panel but with around the same voltage/potential. If you connect the two hots, would it really explode? I thought it would be connecting one (or both) of the hots directly to the neutral that would cause chaos. Thanks for making the video!
Edit: Is it because the power from the utility is AC and you'll end up getting a positive voltage on one wire but a negative voltage on the other?
Great video !
U need to do a video working on a live breaker panel explaining the dos and don'ts for people withe least experience .
Huge Help Thx
If I have everything brought up to a 200Amp rating except for the wire (currenty rated for 150Amp) between the two panels and use a 150amp breaker in the 200Amp rated main panel and a 200Amp breaker in the inside 200Amp rated panel, do you see any problems passing inspection?
DUSTIN, try to make a video lesson about how to troubleshooting breakers that are causing "Nuisance trip" but how to find the breaker on a panel that is causing the nuisance trip is the hard part to narrow it down. The problem is NOT the breaker that is causing the Nuisance Tripping which is the RCD residual current flowing in the circuit. What is causing the breaker to falsely trip is not the breaker but the circuit that is connected to the breaker that is causing the RCD. What are some troubleshooting techniques to narrow down and finding the RCD residual current flowing that is causing the Nuisance tripping issue?
Great Video!
Pretty understandable . I just recently got interested in electricity as I opened my mind more to it now . And man I’ve been really interested in learning this . I’m a interior guy o fox walls and frame paint texture what not but been wanting to learn a little bit of electrical also
I’ve watched countless videos about breakers and never really understood it’s purpose until I watched this great video
Nice!
If you make a sequel to this video you have to call it Breakers 2: Electrician Boogaloo
Good video,…. Would be more professional without f words
Awesome knowledge. Greta explanation.
very good video and description! 😊
I bought an OLD home recently and I am mad about some idiot taking advantage of the elderly 100+ years old homeowner….. They wired a light to two different circuits…. Shut off the breaker to the lamp and still got a shocking surprise! The more I remodel the more bs I find…
I have a weird issue that I am looking for a solution for. I have a microwave above my stove on one dedicated normal 20A circuit breaker, when the microwave runs, it pops a AFCI breaker on only one of my bedrooms most of the time. The microwave circuit does not have an issue in any way or time, but the bedroom pops most of the time the microwave runs. The circuitry has not been modified at any time, and the bedroom has a computer as well as the internet via cable modem. The bedroom has no issues at any time except when the microwave turns on. I have checked the conductors in the outlets both in the microwave and bedroom jacks. I will be looking at the neutral and ground bars in the box tomorrow.
Do you have any advice on this situation? I checked the phases these two breakers are on and they are both on the A circuit (Microwave in on the 5th slot left and the bedroom is on the 9th slot right side).
Hoping you might have an idea to check on..
thanks!

"It slows it way way way down…."
So from 300,000,000m/s down to 299,999,997m/s 😂
Thank you for being the sole no bs source of information without all of the "it's too complicated for you plebeian non-electricians to understand and I can't even attempt to explain xyz in common terms" embellishments, and thank you also for not being cringey.
breaker wiring ofcourse
