I was taught to run a service loop for wiring from an old journeyman in 1970 it has served me well, carry on young man. good content

I use a hydraulic crimping tool with marine grade butt connectors when I have to crimp stuff. It seems to work acceptably for most larger wire sizes (#10-#4 for my purposes). Connecting a submersible well pump with that setup and some real good water rated heat shrink tubes is commonly a trusted connection, and that's underwater!
-
The black coating on that wire is specifically made to be cut off so its a black or white wire. That's why it's just a thin cover nit actual insulation.

This was very interesting and you explain things very well so people can understand. Thank you.

Lol, I love that you left your wife on the right side of the screen even though her part was done. 😂 Great wife!

Ben, I like the idea of using the lugs instead of the crimp connectors, I don't think I would have thought of this. I have been researching this particular setup for a few days now for a customer that can't use a generator and I'm glad I ran across your video. He wants backup power for his computer system and a few other things but it needs to be bigger than just a regular UPS. This may very well be the solution he is looking for. I'm glad you showed how it operates after you showed the installation. I like your work.

Great job. Funny wife.

I like to use plastic entry clamps/fittings… they work like Chinese finger cuffs and work great, they’re cheap and code compliant.

Good job. Like it that you do not talk 100/hr. Hi to the Mrs.

I like you using the screw lugs instead of the crimp on connectors. That way a DIY Does not have to have the special tool required to crimp the connector on to the end of the large gage wire. Nice personal touch, that your son and wife was there with you.
-
Smart to use those lugs.
-
Awsome presentation 👌
-
Great Job!
-
Nice job. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
-
Real good one !!!
-
Awesome job, brother!! Always very interesting, and you are knowledgeable.
-
Thx a lot for the vid. The CTs should be facing towards the panel not the grid.
-
I wish I had your skills. I would save a lot of $$. Keep up the good work!

Great Video. Thank you for sharing

Your idea for the main panel automatic transfer switch islanding is definitely technically possible as essentially that’s what the Anker switch is doing, it just was designed with the 50amp limit to keep costs down vs a system like Enphase’s Smart Switch which enables the autoswitch and microgrid formation. But Enphase costs 10x this solution AND when it directly interfaces with the main grid connection there are a bunch more regs/permitting issues vs an essential loans panel which is probably why they avoided it at first pass. I would bet that adding an Enphase Smart Switch and treating the Anker system as “generator” might work so long as Enphase plays nice (they’ve not had the best reputation interfacing with non-Enphase components).
