    @hermancando You do realize you can’t file a complaint on a house that isn’t yours right? If this is his house, he’s legally entitled to do his own wiring at his own risk, if it’s someone else’s house and he allowed him to do this he did it at his own risk.

    I am a master electrician and I was looking for advice for an upcoming project involving a photovolaic system, but this video is a total joke. The MC cable is not rated for exterior use (among other issues with his install method) Also everyone seems to be wrong about the ratings, no. 12 conductors are rated at 20 amp max, all conductors for line voltage systems (120/240 volt) are actually rated at 600 volts. Regardless, this is simply the wrong material for the project.

    Hah Ha He used a Romex connector on that MC, & why even bother with a connector
    at all, He doesn’t even have it bonded to a J box….nice tight install by Jerry’s Jerryrigging Inc

    40 volts dc isnt gonna worry anybody unless your on the roof holding both ends simultaneously covered in copaslip. I`ll admit theres no sign of a jointbox, weatherproof or otherwise, but I`m sure that 200volt or whatever domestic cable will stand the 3amp or whatever its carrying! worst that can happen is rain will corrode the connections and will go high resistance and hell end up with fuck all at the other end!

  • bergsteinlife says:

    @stevegoff420 i was wondering why he wasing that BC cable outside ?

  • solarpanels3 says:

    The cable this guy is using is rated 110 volt max 15 AMPS
    Does it tell you somethink …………..

  • solarpanels3 says:

    the only reason I would not use mc cable becouse its expensive and reistance (one string)

  • solarpanels3 says:

    This guy have maybe max 20 amps max from his panels @ max 40 volt.
    People you dont know what you are babling about.Seal the conection with some silicon
    ground the shield and you are OK.The only think that can kill you is loosing your balance. Mc cable are not for outside use becouse it is for 110 – 220 Volt.
    40 Volt DC max 20 amp is perfect. 100 of times I been hit by 25000 volt from tv picture tube and I still living..
    And learn about OHMS LAW,

  • solarpanels3 says:

    12 to 40 volts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!listen you morrons.
    this cables are overkill but is Ok
