What is that white deal you have plugged into the outlet to simulate the braker?

I like you how explained it with drawings but used actual parts along with it. Very informative and easy to understand. Well done!

Nicely explained! I wised to work in Telecom and powered up with low voltage for BBU and radios for 4g 5g before loading SW on BBU and integration and testing. I really didn’t have much detail as this video explained by the gentleman.

Helpful - I wired my shed using this information. Did a test on it before I put it through the actual breaker downstairs, yeah, everything works!

We had a lot of these outlets at our house in Maryland built in 1957.

VERY nicely explained .. much appreciated .. some folks just have a way of simplifying concepts elegantly - encore encore bravo!

Thank you for making sense of a confusing situation. God Bless you and yours.

well explained, thanks

This was an EXCELLENT explanation of wiring circuits! Thank you for this! I’ve watched a lot of videos trying to understand basic wiring but they all seemed to be missing a critical step. Your use of visual examples was what I needed. I hope you keep making videos of whatever you are doing. You are an excellent teacher.

Hey man, I really appreciated this video. Really helps break it down to understand a concept that most people don't have the time or colors for lol

Can these be dissasembled? Moving a state down but gotta squeeze this thing in a compact SUV

This is GOLD, so many questions answered and I am only half way through.

Nicely explained

Thanks, I finally understand the hot and neutral

Thanks. Now I think I know how to wire an external outlet for a fountain that can be turned on or off through a switch.

My wife plugged in an Iron to the outlet upstairs, a spark came out of the outlet, and all the electricity upstairs went out. Got it fixed, found out the Iron was always plugged in on Max settings causing a small white flash (Spark), tested it on other outlets and caused the same thing, said just use it at a lower setting. The technician noted some of the outlets have different thickness wires, so can't handle some things on max settings (I'm assuming the copper wire thickness?). The technician fixed it so fast, but it was an eye opener for me, showing me how clueless I was, so I decided to look up more info. Came across your channel first on my search, you are absolutely amazing at explaining everything. I learned more from your video than my entire physics course in undergrad. Thanks.

thanks for your knowledge

Man best videos 😮😊

I am beginner, and you explained it really well.

Very informative. We're working on a house and upgrading ungrounded outlets and the research we did showed that ground wire pigtail method was the appropriate way to do it. As we progress to possibly adding circuits, I need to better understand how outlets and switches operate on the same circuit. It reasons turning of a switch would turn off outlets downstream (which it in fact does on one outlet in the living room).

Thanks man, I’m taking a trade class now and we’re practicing wiring up single pole switches. I was having a hard time grasping a few things, but This video really helped a lot!

Thank you! You are a good teacher

You’re a bad ass

Pretty simple. thank you.

I was trying to take an existing outlet that is controlled by a switch and make one outlet controlled by the switch and one outlet hot. Is that able to be done with an existing setup?

well done young man.

Pro tip: don’t just pigtail grounds when passing through. Be sure to twist the grounds together to make a tight braid. Leave one ground longer to be able to slide a ground wire nut over it so it can be grounded to the box.

I really appreciate the simple visual example, your video was alot easier to understand, thank you so much!

1:24 No electricity really is dangerous, Especially if you don't pay attention or mess around with it. Lineman die every year, Usualy the younger people who tend to skip safety steps & rush into the job before they do all the math. Like all things it should be respected as its not a toy, & is more deadlier i would say than a gun is, hence why the chair was the prefer method rather than a firing squad. If its something the person is afraid of i would say get someone else to do it, Because its more likely in that fear your going to mess something up. It also doesn't take much to burn down your house. But if you learn about electricity prior its pretty simple & only gets easier.

Very clear and understandable. I was reading about how a very small amount current "leaking" causes the GFCI to trip. Now, based on the toaster example, know what is meant by leaking current monitored by GFCI. Thank you.

I moved into my house all my plugs in kitchen dead I eventually discovered my gif I died and killed all my plugs if I pig tailed all my plugs and didn’t use one guck plu but put individual guck plug I would avoided a full two days od]f grief. I’m not an electri but a sertious dyi not rich but not dumb. Gfcis are cheaper now…this guy is smart but line loads are not worth this now a days

This helps a lot thank you!

muchas muchas muchas gracias!!!

great job in explaining everything

"Please don't put it in the comments" Comment got my Like!!!!

This was one of the best videos on explaining electrical wiring I’ve ever seen. Thanks so much!

This video is a masterpiece!

I went from understanding 0 to now understanding this. Thanks!

Tow logs from the front backwards. Easy to flip over towing them if they get caught

10:28 SF2!! I see you are a man of culture!

AUTOBOT DOSEN’T HONOR THEIR WARRANTY! My unit failed 9 months after I purchased it on Amazon. I contacted the company and proceeded to send photos and proof of the installation. Additionally, I hired an electrician to check the breakers, and took my car in for service to eliminate every possible problem before asking for a replacement. The electrician confirmed, that the unit had failed and a needed replacement. On July 3, 2024, the company agreed to send me a new unit and thanked me for providing the evidence of the failure. Unfortunately, after multiple promises and apologies, they refuse to send the unit. They claim to have a hassle free 1-2 year warranty and I went the extra mile and provided them with the documentation they asked for. This company has ZERO integrity, and shouldn’t be trusted, you have so many options out there and can do much better than this company.

Thanks for making this video!

Great explanation 👍

Do you always back stab your outlets?

I have been looking for this explanation. . .thank you

The only thing I don't understand is what size wire and amp breaker do I need for 120v 12k BTU. What do you gain from having a 230v vs 120v, is it based on how much space you have in your panel? Because I only have 2 spots left in my 100 amp service.

Based on my experience with the 1300 watt variable speed reversible version, you're going to find it very useful. I run it with Slugger coolant mixed 9:1 with water. The coolant works great. Feeding from the inside it has no place to go but ought through the hot teeth so it's very efficient at keeping the bit cool which will help them last longer. It will be especially good to use it on yours which spins quite bit faster than mine does. Based on how well the annular cutters performed on the Vevor I bought an R8/Weldon adaptor for my mill and transfer the Vevor coolant reservoir to the mill when I used annular cutters there in combination with the DRO to make a drill jig for creating my own fixture table. The chuck that came with mine turned out to be quite good with surprisingly little runout. The OD of the chuck just below the chuck key hole has a runout of ~ 0.001". The shank of a chucked bit is +/- ~0.002". IMO: That's beyond good enough for drilled holes.

Love you

1 min 16 seconds in n love this video already!

Dang... Mine was 15 bucks. Only a year difference from yours.
