What happens here
The creator prepares the electrical connections for the outdoor unit. He removes the necessary knockouts from the unit's electrical panel using a screwdriver. He then strips the ends of the flexible electrical conduit ('whip') wires (two hot, one neutral, one ground) to expose the copper conductors. He mentions picking up a new 20 amp breaker for the circuit.
Goal: Prepare electrical wiring for connection to the outdoor unit and breaker panel.
