Tips for Estimating Circuit Breaker Installation on Energized and De-energized Panels.

June 7, 2019 By John Kelsey

Disclaimer: This information is NOT intended to suggest or give advice on safety standards for working on energized panels. Your company must determine your safety standards for live work.

The goal is to give you the electrical estimator food for thought how to cover the cost for installing circuit breakers in energized and de-energized panels.

You estimate according to your company’s safety standards when estimating working on panels.

When estimating remodel jobs, circuit breaker termination labor requires estimating working in either:

  • De-energized panels
  • Energized panels
  • Panels that must be de-energized during a scheduled shut down.

Estimating circuit breaker termination in de-energized panels.

Estimating circuit breaker termination in de-energized panels takes the least amount of time.

Simply input each circuit breaker.

Example: Estimate Circuit breakers in de-energized panel.
1 – 1 Pole 20 Amp circuit breaker
1 – 2 Pole 40 Amp circuit breaker
1 – 3 Pole 50 Amp Circuit Breaker
1 – 3 Pole 125 Amp

Example below shows circuit breakers input to Rhino.

Notice Red Rhino shows labor for each breaker.

Estimating circuit breaker termination in energized panels.

Some companies require 2 people to be present when work occurs in live panels.

In that case you would add extra labor for 2 electricians to suit up with Kevlar suits and get set up with safety equipment needed.

Example: Estimate the same circuit breakers in energized panel when 2 people are required to do the installation.

In the example above 3 extra hours were added for time required for electricians to set up safety equipment needed to install the circuit breakers in a live panel.

You the estimator must determine how much extra time it will take.

Estimating circuit breaker termination panels for scheduled shut down, after hours.

Note: This information does not cover the actual process of scheduling a shut down.

Often times, written notice is required and someone actually has to sign off approval of the shutdown before it can occur.

Find out what is required and cover the cost.

In this example: The same number of circuit breakers need to be installed but.

  • Your company does not allow work in live panels.
  • Circuit breakers to be installed during shutdown after hours. (Overtime)
  • 2 People are required to do the installation.
  • Minimum hours you are required to pay electricians is 4 hours each.                                                                    

Note that 2 men at 4 hours at time-and-a-half equals 6 hours each. A total of 12 hours was added for the shutdown.

The cost of a shutdown makes installing just a few circuit breakers an expensive process.

Your results will vary but the goal is to cover all your costs when estimating installing circuit breakers in any condition required and to cover your cost.

How to Factor Labor on Conduit & Wire using Red Rhino Conduit Wizard

April 11, 2019 By John Kelsey

Factoring labor for conduit and wire is when you adjust (increase or decrease) labor due to diffaculty and job conditions.

Red Rhino Estimating Conduit

When estimating electrical work, production of installing conduit is influenced by several factors.

Of course, the higher the conduit is mounted off the floor, the more labor hours (time) it takes to install.

High work, tight spaces, concrete or fire walls and other obstacles influence productivity.

When you are estimating conduit runs in hostile environments, such as in factories or areas with a lot of barriers, you, might want to add or increase labor for conduit wire.

In this video John Kelsey will discuss ideas on how to factor labor for installing conduit and wire using the Conduit Wizard with Red Rhino Estimating Software

Factoring labor for conduit and wire when using the conduit wizard speeds up the estimating process.
