- We visited mosques, churches, castles, shops, alleys, ships, stuff in Istanbul, Türkiye! And I barely saw anything out of order in their electrical system, other than usual… Should I have looked harder? Let me know in the comments!

HEY! Sorry for kind of irrelevant music. They are still from from middle east and I tried to find things as close as possible, but Turkish music has a distinct flavor and unfortunately CZcams library doesn't have good ones in there, and I can't be bothered with copyrighted music!! CZcams needs to have a more complete library, somehow.
U can use " saz " i think.
Ok
don’t worry i forgive you 🤓
I didn't mind it I thought it added to the ambiance nicely. the drone shots and editing were also incredible.
Note only u can’t put music on clips from inside a mosque 👍❤️ (as i am a Muslim) like as an act to show respect 🫡
I'm working at the hotel that he and his family stayed. In my 17 years of life i would have NEVER think of seeing him in person. UNTIL HE CAME INTO THE HOTEL IM WORKING AT! His family was very kind and sweet, and as expected he is just as energetic and kind. And if you ever see this comment Mr. Mehdi, i'm keeping that 10 Turkish Lira at the back of my phone, and i parted the rest of the tip to my colleagues. And as i said when you were about to check out, please keep doing what you're doing. Thank you very much for the content and always being so kind.

Mehdi traveling with his family to inspect the electrical system of different counties should be a Netflix series.
That's a really fun idea
Just like Philomena Cunk, Mehdi could interview random people and ask them stupid questions. lol
Would totally bingewatch
Like “idiot abroad” but with more electrical explosions
Its already a good series. Don't involve Netflix to ruin it.

The electronic passage (and there are others in that area) brought back some happy memories. When I was an engineering student, I used to get all my parts from that area because they were affordable. I would never expected to see you there. Nice video, you should have shown the breakfast before the plates were clear :)
I just realized ElectroBOOM is the Anthony Bourdain of electricity.
Mehdi: **goes on a vacation**
Hotels in every countries (except Canada): *Something's wrong, I can feel it*
I like to think Canada has very good electrical standards because Mehdi lives there.
so when i was in malaysia my brother and i were joking about what if mehdi was there and messing with the electricity
@@stratta_ytThey are largely the same as the US, so ... No we do not. They are just what Mehdi is more used to.
he forgot to check the socket short circuit current! oh he accidentally did. nevermind.
Canada's huge, he'll probably do a video on it at some point, a lot of beautiful landscapes to see, thus plenty of hotel wiring to harass.
It’s really nice to hear compliments about my country’s electrical infrastructure from an experts perspective, I hope you enjoyed your stay
Although this video throughly covers most of the up-to-date installments, this isn't the case for many buildings or houses in Turkiye (unfortunately). The old porcelain light switches (the ones that become a bit too "energetic" if your hand is humid or wet before contact) as well as some electrician oversights (unnecessary fuse placements for devices that demand high current for the first moments) are still present and maybe even continued. On top, the RCDs sometimes arent tested properly for safety. My teacher once said he went to a kindergarden for inspection and although the principal was "very proud of their RCD installment and general safety precautions", it didnt take him long to realise that RCDs were only tested via their test buttons to see if there is a mechanical problem; they weren't even connected to the infrastructure.
But putting these issues aside, I'm happy to hear your opinions about the infrastructure. As an upcoming electrical engineer I'm happy that I've managed to find your content.
no its no real
@@efehanyq could you elaborate?
In Türkiye, for a short time, you must feel the electricity in your body before the breaker pops. This is how exactly we learn that playing with electricity is dangerous. 5:10

Welcome Mehdi, please feel at home. The establishment of the Turkish grid and debates on AC/DC is a compelling story. I strongly recommend a book/report called Türkiye'nin Elektrikfikasyonu (Electrification of Turkey) by Refik Fenmen (1935). For instance, Fenmen's team has visited the Niagara Falls Hydroelectric Power Station (Westinghouse), which is the first large-scale application of Tesla's AC system. Inspired by Niagara Falls, a small-scale hydroelectric power plant was established on Çaylak Falls in Susurluk/Balıkesir (I am working on establishing an industrial heritage museum here).
Kesinlikle okuyacağım
I even didn’t know that as a Turkish citizen. Thank you for it.
Feel at home of the genocide deniers
I hope you succeed in your endeavour. I think it is a very important and beautiful idea.

Bro you were such an inspiration to me becoming an electronic and electric engineer hopefully you were deservingly well treated in the city that I was born and raised keep up the good work and thank you
to 1:00 → these sockets are called "Schuko" which is short for "Schutz-Kontakt" (Schutz means safety).
it was invented almost 100 years ago in 1925 by the german Albert Büttner from Nuremberg, Bavaria.
So these are from germany? Schuko always sounded like something japanese to me.
@@alexturnbackthearmy1907 well the japanese don't use SCH for that sound, it would've been Shuko then.

In Turkey RCD are mandatory somehow. But the buildings electrical setups are so old in order for RCD to work they have to find every single point that might trip the RCD. So, they dont want to deal with that and just put the RCD but they dont connect properly. You can understand that by pressing test button it doesnot work :) My dad is an electrician from Turkey thats why I know.

Excellent video Mehdi. We hope to see you again.
I've been utility locating for 25 years in the US and Turkey, the real mess is below the ground. Popping manholes is a little more challenging than fuse boxes, there are also more convenient spikes to look out for.
5:30 in the modern fuse box, you have to reset (small reset Push-Button) the fuse after a short circuit - just to be sure that you have solved the problem, so first reset and then put the fuse back into operation.
Or switch it off completely as some breakers trip only halfway (the lever will be in the middle) and cannot be turned on before turning them completely off first.
I believe the plumbing at 2:40 is for in-floor heating.
Red is hot, blue is cold, so I'd wager hot and cold water for the taps.
@@anotheruser9876 No, it's the heating system, red coming from the central heating and blue going towards it.
its collectors for central heating system it can be in-floor heating or just the radiators could be one of them
@@anotheruser9876 Nope; look at the arrows. They show that the hot water comes in and the cold water goes out. I've never heard of a water tap that sucks up cold water instead of dispensing it, so I'm willing to bet that the heated floor theory is correct. Hot water flows into the floor tiles to warm them, cold water flows out to be reheated again. Makes sense to me.
@@Psythik in-floor heating and cooling of course..

10:57 I have been talking with the Istanbul Municipality and the Fire department for some time now for this problem. They told me that they will be calling the agency who deals with the electricity, and that is was not under their jurisdiction unfortunately. I think they should be extra careful especially in such a touristic place like that !
7:09 they probably gave you that room on purpose for you to check the GFCI for the hotel.
For sure. One of the guys knows him like he said
@@TheAdriyaman Who is probably the inhouse technician
@@MrShadow1617 If it was inhouse technician he would have replaced that breaker during cleaning hours and left a note :)
As a proud Turkish/Armenian person i felt obligated that those noodle cables you saw in grand bazaar are for telephone/internet cables. In Turkey ALL electric distribution to any building/complex routed under the ground. Actually it's little bit frustrating when something goes wrong with that distribution you have to wait for the city electric company comes to find where it is, dig the ground, fix it, close the ground and give back electricity. And that sometimes takes 3 to 8 hours.. 😅
Kind of strange being proud of a nationality that has spent centuries enslaving, genociding & trying to erase your ethnicity (along with Greeks, Kurds, etc.) from the face of the earth.
Not in the entire Turkey mate. I'm in Şırnak right now, everything is out in the open. You can see unprotected thick cables even on the sidewalks.
@@EFOZM forgot to say "I major cities" since in 2010 while on my military service pulled 240 from a poll to the new build-up single story construction 😅
I also remember, that the cables there overground in the city of my grandma, but they put it underground, because too many people stole electricity.
@@EFOZM Well, before AK Party it was almost the same in İstanbul. Thick cables were running on poles and on small metal towers

Speaking as an Turkish Electric and electronics technician ; Im glad to see you in my country. We do our best to adapt our electrical system in a safe and well working for everyone. Thx for great views of our city. Great that u didnt skip the part of stray cats 🐱
In Turkey, people don't particularly like residual current circuit breakers (RCCBs) because they constantly trip downwards. This is due to the lack of sensitivity among Turkish people regarding electricity. They don't pay attention to damaged or stripped insulation cables. So why are RCCBs in the fuse box? Because our electrical regulations require us to install them, but as I mentioned, after installation, people often bypass them and take the phase directly from the fuse, disabling the RCCB. Additionally, in densely populated areas, power transmission lines are underground. The reason you don't see overhead power lines while driving is because of this. I hope you had a great vacation! :D
Wouldn't even surprise me, if some of our people would get a high voltage transformer, so that they can connect directly to the high voltage line, only to avoid paying for electricity.
@@thebamplayer Well people do that in every country with electricity.

btw, you can usually also pop the ground fall protection, if you connect neutral to PE. That is due to a slight offset between neutral and PE in most systems. You know... that happens, if not all 3 phases are used equally and you have some littpe resistance between N and PE ...

Sick drone footage
Electroboom travel vlogs is something I would've never thought I'd see.
6:30 in Germany we have similar GFCI systems and its not unusual that they don't pop. Therefore it is important to test them once in a while (2 to 3 times a year). And it is possible to "regenerate" them by plugging in more current.
And probably Turkish electric system based on German standards as in many other things.
@@cemyildiz7842 yes, thats possible If you look at the manufacturer: SIEMENS
Actually often they are just stuck closed, never turned off since installation like 30 years ago.
Clicking them off-on-off-on a few times may be enough for them to start working.
@@cemyildiz7842 Yep, everything with a DIN mark on it.
It's usually recommended to test them at the beginning and end of daylight savings (because testing them will mess up any mains powered clocks and on those two days you need to set them anyway).
Each European country has different electrical regs (although usually based on the same harmonisation documents, just with loads and loads of national amendments and changes) but the basic designs are similar, it's the details that are different. The UK and its former colonies are most different but some things have changed there as well. Ireland, apart from using UK sockets, is much closer to continental practices anyway because of close historic ties with Siemens Germany.
I'd say generally speaking there are only two types of electrical setups in the world: European style and US style. Perhaps you could add old UK style as a third (rewirable fuses and all that).
Nice to see you in our county. I hope you and your family enjoy your visit.

They have to have an active part in the video in order for them to be considered "actors" and are therefore a business expense!
One thing that is common and I have seen it in actual panels is that usually at shops and businesses they install those protective breakers and what happens is that the breaker starts doing its job. Then they have to figure out where the problem is (usually fridges and AC units) but because they have to reset the breaker every now and then, they will bypass the breaker which IS ILLEGAL.
10:50 the Grand Bazaar is going through an extensive restoration on a slow pace that’s why the cables are out on plain sight. They should be taken care of sometime.. God knows when
When an rcd doesnt trip down sometimes turning off the connected circuits and then flicking it on and off a good few times can fix it as they get stuck internally when not operated occasionally.
Welcome to The City man. Best time to come to Istanbul, it's Ramadan holiday(for entire week) and everyone goes to south side of the country. It's not crowded and traffic is low, best time to enjoy the city for me. Enjoy your trip!

Never in my life I saw so many people
A rare occurrence of one disappointed Mehdi after not finding any electrical anomaly, marvellous.
Having done electrical work around my home, I can say with pure belief that people like you exist for a reason. My breakers are a mess. it took a week to get one circuit up to code. Calling up an electrician and seeing him work his magic across 24 circuits in less than two days without starting a fire was a sight to behold. My guess is that the previous owner just found a live and neutral wire whenever he wanted to hook something up, paying no mind to the circuits and where they run to
Unironically this is the trippiest thing I’ve ever seen. The streets once I saw for hundreds of times and there is a person commenting in a language other than Turkish. You’ve made us feel like we have a good place in the internet. Appreciate the video🇹🇷
oh my god. i never thought you would come to turkey. i wish i could come face to face and say hello to you. i hope you had fun times. if i had a teacher who explained electricity and electronics as fun as you did, my business life would definitely be at a different point. thanks for all the fun and educational content.
Yes, I do believe that a lot has improved in terms of electrics in Turkey. But you can't be too sure either, sometimes you find really hair-raising (pun intended) installations. The mentality is also a bit more relaxed. My grandparents are from Turkey and when we visited them, you could feel contact currents when touching their gas stove - my grandpa's answer was: "then just wear slippers with rubber soles" lol
Can I just say your heavily underrated, your vids are so funny without you even trying. I can't wait to see you blow up lol
I laughed at the spike and then sipped coffee and you did the spike again HAHA
Great Video ! Usually each main circuit breaker protects 3 to 4 branches, so in this hotel, every 3 rooms have a common main circuit breaker, which is rated for 300-500mA for current leaks and 15A to 45A in short-Circuit. Although it was there to protect the wires between the main panel and the room's panel, fortunately it acted as a double protection preventing fires, but not electrocution.
As for the room's GFCI that is rated for 30mA in current leaks, I don't think it's faulty, sometimes technicians bypass it, when it detects current leaks every now and then, instead of looking for the leak/faulty component.
İn general technicians who actually apply these stuff do a shitty job. So i wasnt surprised.
I've been there in 2014, and it was already like that, clean and beautiful. And yest it was so strange to see all "same type shop" all in the very same area! I was also near the Galata tower and was visiting EXACTLY the same places. The hardware market is BIG, and the Bazaar is SUPER HUGE! Great memories: and for an Italian like me isn't so immediate to be fashinated so much by other places. But this was special...
Shouldn't it be the norm? Much like a market, you place same type of products close togather so you don't travel all over the place looking for them. It also simplifies logistics. Rare stuff is more easily found because shops are next to each other.
welcome bro i hope enjoy Turkiye...
I always enjoy your videos! That city looks beautiful! I wish I had the ability to travel the world...
These travel videos are the best! All of your stuff has been very enjoyable and helpful while going to school for robotics. Even now, I have a paper on the electrical grids of the world.
You are an inspiration
Well, hotels have some standards. :D And our main lines are not bad actually. But an old residential apartment flat would be like a dream for you. :D
In Turkey, before 1982 grounding was not a must. From 1982 to 1991 grounding in kitchen and bathrooms was a must. After 1991 all house should be grounded. After 2003 or 2005 GFCI became a must.
When making a residential renovation in Turkey, nobody checks what you are doing. So, let's say you bought a 1972 model apartment flat and renovated it. You can change it's electrical system, or if you don't want to, you don't have to. So, you house can be grounded or not grounded or partially grounded, or fully covered with gfci. :D
Also, in many of the apartment flats, grounding rods are very old and does not do it's job. My office's apartment was like that. I was installing a laser cnc machine. So I checked the grounding and it was seriously bad. I told the apartment. They did not care. So I ran a grounding cable to the ground rod of the boiler of the apartment and connected my apartment flat to ground. :D
Another thing: in juction boxes we generally don't use pogo connectors or any type of connector. We use pliers and electric tape. :D
My house is 1977 model. I renewed the whole system with better cables, better grounding, GFCI, around 35 automatic fuse. But in my junction boxes pliers and electric tape is used. :D
Please, get some Wago clamps. They're cheaper than a new flat.
There is a mistake, you have to renovate electricity system after you purchase it otherwise you cannot make a new contract for energy subscription, that's how I had to renovate my house from 1993
yeah hes turkish lol... of course hes loving his own countries wiring
:D
what do you mean?? i thought electrical stuff doesn't work without grounding so every house needs that????
خوش بگذره آقا مهدی عزیز 😊😊
