This Metal Block Fixes A Common Electrical Panel Problem

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money.

Synopsis:
If you’re a homeowner looking to sell, or a beginner electrician finishing a job, a very common place to fail the electrical portion of an inspection is in “separation of grounds and neutrals after the 1st disconnecting means”. This video will simply and practically show what’s wrong and how to make it right. While we don't recommend homeowners correct this themselves, we hope this video provides a thorough overview with which to understand a quality electrician's work.
