      @eDoc2020 Před 3 lety +8

      In the US (probably Canada, too) the standard is as follows:
      Green (inc. with stripe) or bare is ground
      White or gray is neutral
      Literally anything else is live
      Usually in 120v land black is the only color used for live unless there are different live wires in one place. Red is usually the second color, often used for the second live in some 240v circuits or for switched live in regular 120v circuits. Blue is the usual third color but is much less common in residential applications.

      Thats exactly what my partner always laughed at, on our first summer hoilidays on southern european islands: Me making more photos of those weird, messy powerlines and transformators than photos at the pool or beach.
      If you want to become an electrician here, the first thing you learn is, that current can only flow through wires if they are 100% straight and all turns exactly 90 degrees. Powerlines of course have to be digged properly in the the ground to prevent birds from sitting on them in messy formations and poop on our clean roofs and gardens ;-)

    as a chemistry student, I love seeing 8:21 where copper ions are being ripped off the positive terminal and the electrode is interacting with the salt ion solution in the water creating the brown/orange color in the solution.

    If you want tips on making your hydronic baseboard heating system more efficient you change the boiler out for a full modulation condensing boiler which are usually 95%+ thermally efficient. You should also install an outdoor reset control for even more efficiency, a lot of older homes do not have them. Outdoor reset should net you 20-30% fuel savings on top of using a condensing boiler.

    Hey Mehdi, on the point of the outlets I presume the UK system of shutters on power outlets wouldn't work on North American outlets because the (normal) UK system demands an earth pin on the plug to enable the shutters on the line & neutral to be opened - therefore two pin plugs don't exist in the UK system, whereas elsewhere (including North America) two pin plugs are common for powering devices which are Class B (double) insulated. The mainland European outlets (both the French & "Schuko" systems) have their line & neutral holes covered by shutters in the same way that the outlets in your new house are, whereby equal pressure is required to be applied to both holes for the shutters to open. Incidently, the UK standards do allow for "equal pressure" shutters on the outlets as well but in my experience this is very uncommon compared to the "earth pin" displacement system.
    So are the new outlets in your new home "safer" than the old, unshielded outlet? I'd say yes, definitely. To defeat the mechanism you'll need two small mental pin things that are pressed in at the same time in each hole and the average toddler or small child likely won't have the understanding or the cognitive ability to do this by accident. It's not 100% idiot proof, but neither is the UK earth pin displacement system whereby the holes for the line & neutral are big enough, should they defeat the shutter mechanism with just one object stuck into the earth hole, for a baby or toddler's small fingers to go into the line & neutral holes. Thankfully, in the UK such stories are very rare.
    Sorry for going on one!

      Yeah I understand its better for toddlers, but it is usually older kids sticking stuff in there! Toddlers can't aim! UK outlets better in that at least the kid needs to shove one thing in ground with one hand, and so would have one more hand to shove in live tripping the RCD. In north America they have to shove between live and neutral, which means nothing will trip either! I don't know, I have to design my own safe plug!

    In Germany nearly every house has power supply under earth. The electric system is also different at all. Areas of a few hundred houses are supported by one transformer. This transforms 20 kilovolt to 400V between 2 phases and 230V between a phase and neutral. So 4 wires go to each house. The different phases are used for different electrical circuits in the house. Or all 3 phases are used for big electronical devices.
    This seems a lot safer to me.
    It has nearly the same impact whether you get a 110V or 230V electrical shock. For this cases yust safe plugs or fuses do help.

  • @megamangos7408
    @megamangos7408 Před 3 lety +42

    For those wondering why it's so expensive, the argument of which party that covers the cost from Line-to-Meter depends from place to place. And I'm genuinely glad you were forced to replace the incoming power line as it is true that a lot of older houses have a live line that's grand-fathered in where you can literally just grab it. Safety first.
    Also, from my limited though fairly extensive work with a power company: with a dense area like that, a 200A meter could possibly require a bigger pole transformer to keep the current stable. And a bigger transformer might require a bigger pole. And a thicker pole, depending on what's currently there , might have to be taller to meet pole sway/safety regulations. And a taller pole means the entire line of poles will have to be taller, or else the 1-PH line would be strung too tight in that one spot.
    So in short, in order to install a single 200A meter, one transformer and several poles, and of course their own transformers, may have to be replaced. Working on these old radials can just be that much of a bitch.
    And while I would almost humor the idea of taking a 1-PH from the pole to an underground transformer and then running a line to a 200A meter on the house, that would probably be too expensive for what it's worth, even if they could get a bore back there. I don't envy the designer for this, as my previous company HATED meter-poles. (Mostly because of the fights about "who owns what?" if that pole breaks)
    Lastly, that radial power line should be designed to meet a certain specification, probably an old average of 100A per house. So, if you're ever building a new house, you'll probably hear that 200A is the minimum now, but again, that depends on the area.

      There's Pros and Cons with regulation. And yes, it does make sense to want to catch these outlining cases. A Utility Should be a service to the people after all, and should catch as many cases as it can. Even if the data shows that the majority won't use over 100A.

I've also used the wand to detect where power conduit is run in a wall, and one time I picked up an (AM?) radio station when I was toning out a jack for some reason.

    Getting upgraded to a 200A service is expensive in the states as well though not that much (even in USD). An electrician friend who is a master electrician but works a day job and only takes the jobs he wants to do for side income told me he wouldn't be able to upgrade my house because the job would require his entire day most of it waiting around for the power company to disconnect and reconnect the service and install the new meter.

    I think the reason why the receptacles have two doors for live and neutral is backwards-compatibility with 2 pronged plugs (I have several things which only have 2 prongs instead of three).

    Wait I had a thought in my mind as medhi says as long as your not connected to ground or touching neutral and are completely floating in air you wouldnt feel any electricity flowing through your body? So if I get hit by a lightning in mid air if I was hypothetically floating nothing would happen?

      Interesting question! You would die! Because if there was no path through your body, lightening wouldn't jump to you in the first place. If it jumps to you, it is because you are in its plasma channel-way!

      @@ElectroBOOM I really like your question Mathew. Sheet lightning (intra-cloud) might not hurt you, neither would hitting the ground. However if you were unlucky enough to avoid seizures, immediate cardiac arrest, and severe burns due to ionisation of your skin, and depending on height of fall, a broken bone or ten dozen, etc... maybe somebody else might notice something happened.
