What happens here

After all electrical connections are made, and enclosures are secured, the main power is reconnected (by the utility company for the meter socket, or by flipping the main breaker for the indoor work). The newly installed GFCI outlet should be thoroughly tested using its built-in 'Test' and 'Reset' buttons to ensure it functions correctly and provides ground fault protection. A final visual inspection of all installed components ensures they are secure, compliant with codes, and ready for safe operation.

Goal: Verify the functionality and safety of all installed electrical components.

What they say

Hide

now installing the outlet and as you can see, I ran a new circuit. Here is my single pole breaker and my hot wire, my neutral wire, my ground. I ran 14-2 Romex to the new outlet and boom, guys, it's all finished. Both jobs complete, customer satisfied and that's what a day looks like as an electrician.
