Took electrical class last semester and what you taught me in 10 minutes took me a whole semester to learn! You have a gift in teaching thank you so much God bless

[@stacywalsh4248]

Thank you! I’m an HVAC contractor (still running my own business with my husband) that recently and reluctantly (frankly because teaching scares me) turned part-time HVAC instructor at a local trade school. My students ask me things, theory-wise, I can’t remember anymore. Thank you for your very helpful content! This isn’t your first video I’ve shared with them. If you aren’t already an instructor, YOU SHOULD BE! Many thanks from Tulsa, OK!

[@cwevo316]

Thank you for revisiting the material to serve your students properly. Most professors are not that diligent.

Man this video just cleared so much stuff up for me! Your gift of teaching is a real blessing to others! Keep doing what you do best man! My teacher I have now often acts like he doesn’t even know what he’s talking about so this was a real eye opener as to what a real teacher should be like.

[@nyjohn12]

I retired from a nuclear power plant in NY. As most people know a Nuke Plant produces electricity. The output of the plant I worked is 1,000 Mega Watts (1,000 million watts). A clean up crew was picking up debris around the site. They were after wind blown garbage and tree limbs. One fellow saw a tree branch on one of the plant's outgoing cables. For some reason only known to him he climbed the fence and ignored the KEEP OUT signs to grab the branch. When he touched the branch he was electrocuted. He was only 35 years old. He died. Because of the change in the plant configuration (the outgoing cable was now grounded) the plant tripped off line (shut down). An electrical component below the room I was in exploded. Even though wood is an insulator the man died because the extremely large amount of electricity traveled through the tree branch moisture. Before acting in a unusual situation, think twice before acting.

[@kennethiman2691]

Dang. Now I want some M&Ms.

[@usernametaken7164]

Since ohms are the measure of resistance, you would want to buy something with fewer ohms. For example, if you were comparing two motors, and one had an ohm measure of 1.5 and another had an ohm measure of 2.5, you would choose the one with the 1.5-ohm measure because it has less resistance.

[@winroywilliams84]

But you also need to consider the purpose of the device

[@anthonyking8898]

When he says I realize it's probly confusing but you just realized the resistance is the object receiving power not like a ground wire or any wiring at all. Lmao voltage is electrons moving and current is how much is moving through like a river 4:45. Me: "Ohhhhhhh!" Him: "I know it just got confusing..." lol nope it didn't. Thanks!

[@georgealbertacanadaeh1038]

how did you make the paper rise up? what did you add to the water?

[@WordofAdviceTV]

It's actually just plain room temperature water. Try it 😉

[@feje6214]

let's see how I say it, ohm's law already says the word law is not specific for direct current voltage only, but it is a general law for circuit calculation regardless of the type of voltage used. Ohm's law talks about current and says the following: the current flowing through a conductor (understand elements of a circuit) is directly proportional to the voltage applied between its terminals and inversely proportional to the total resistance of said circuit, therefore its true formula is I = E / Z, what happens is that in DC voltage the imaginary part of the impedance (Z) becomes zero and only the real part R remains a ver como lo digo, la ley de ohm ya lo dice la palabra ley no es especifica para voltaje de corriente directa solamente, sino que es una ley general para el calculo de circuitos independientemente del tipo de voltaje que se use. la ley de ohm habla sobre corriente y dice lo siguiente: la corriente que circula por un conductor ( entiendase elementos de un circuito) es directamente proporcional al voltaje aplicado entre sus bornes e inversamente proporcional a la resistencia total de dicho circuito por tanto su verdadera formula es I= E/Z, lo que sucede es lo siguiente que en voltaje de DC la parte imaginaria de la impedancia (Z) se hace cero y solo queda la parte real R. para el que no entienda ingles aqui les dejo el comentario en español. saludos

[@davemall1]

How would you use ohms law at work? The math sounds simple enough, but I am struggling to understand its practical application.

[@Remrie]

It comes in handy to figure out if there is too much power being drawn on the wiring or above what a system is rated for. It's more useful for general contracting purposes. Each gauge of wire can handle X amount of amperage, if someone doesn't know what they are doing, they might DIY something and not realize the wiring can't handle the load, or that there is too much resistance for a unit to function properly. And sometimes when doing stuff on the fly without all your tools available, a sticker might tell you a couple of things you want to now (volts and amps), and you can figure out the watts on the fly to calculate how much the unit will cost someone on a day to day basis

[@crazycreator6345]

Hi jay i watched all your videos n help me a lot. I've allready got my EPA certificate last year but i have not started worki g in this field yet n i am scared cause english is my second language so if u can give me some advise pls... Thank u

[@donsimonds5186]

You said it was 6.24 times 10 to the 18th power but then the number you wrote down only had 16 zeros. I thought , to the 18th power ment a number with 18 zeros after it.

[@quantummechanized2975]

since walls are a standard of 240V we could make the 120x7 into 240x3.5 which would give us 68.57 omh with 840 whatts???

[@georgiosivankof7071]

What does the "E" stands for?

[@stanimatorblue]

I’m confused about how you know what resistance is without blowing out the circuit. If current is running through something and you don’t yet know the resistance and if it’s too low while I’m measuring it wouldn’t it blow up and kill me? How do you prevent being killed by electricity?

[@mojo9288]

You can troubleshoot a system with power on or off depending on what you're looking for. If you're not confident in taking measurements when power is on, disconnect power and switch your meter to resistance (omega symbol) not continuity (beep). Reason for that is not all meters can measure high resistance when set on continuity and it may tell you the component is bad when it really isn't. Fear of getting electrocuted is a good thing. It makes you slow down and think before you touch something. Lock out/tag out whenever possibly and never take someone's word that power is off. Always verify with your meter using the probes or NCV setting or carry a small Non-Contact Voltage (NCV) tester. Identify your loads in the circuit, components that consume power, and disconnect them from the circuit before checking its resistance. Each load will measure a certain amount of resistance and there's usually a label on it that tells you what voltage it's rated for and what its Full Load Amp (FLA) draw is. Divide the resistance into the voltage to see if it is drawing more current than it is rated for. Continue the process with all the other loads. If none of the loads exceed the FLA rating then the problem lies in the circuit wiring where a hot wire is touching a neutral wire, loose connection, bad contacts and a miriad of other things to check. You'll know if the load is bad if you get a lower than normal resistance reading, your meter reads "OL" (open line) or you get a resistance reading from any load wire to the load casing (unpainted spot on the load). If you're still not sure after reading this then I suggest you take a basic HVAC coures that will cover everything I just mentioned and go into more detail on types of motors (compressors, PSC, shaded pole, ECM, induction, CSCR, CSIR, single phase and 3-phase power). Resistance readings for 3-phase motors are different from single phase motors and if you don't pay attention to how a 3-phase motor is wired you could potentially break the quipment by reversing the motor direction. Three-phase motors can also be wired up in the delta, wye and delta-wye configuration depending on current draw on start up. This youtube video touches on only a very tiny portion of the electrical you'll need to understand. The hands on portion you learn in school is, in my opinion, the best way to learn. The instructor will take you through it step by step and you'll be able to read schematics and determine if a component is wired in series, parallel or series parallel. Hope I didn't discourage you but peaked your interests in learning more. Respectfully,

[@ahjsky2946]

some who has formal math courses such as aljebra. it is rather annoying circle V, I, R ----- no need. If you have one formula e.g. V = IR ---- you can find R, which is R = V/I

[@caseykelso1]

Could the light bulb be considered the resistance /ohms in a simple circuit ? (battery to bulb to battery) the Watts that it uses is considered the resistance? and we could measured that in ohms correct? WE could change the wattage value to an OHM value .. example: "I have a 100 watt bulb in the lamp" or could I say "I have a 23,000 ohm bulb in the lamp" ? .............or am I totally off base

[@Sctronic209]

AC resistance is different than dc resistance. Which is reactance.

[@WordofAdviceTV]

Yes, thank you for pointing that out! Much appreciated!

[@proanswers]

DC can have reactance -its a short circuit= zero. Commonly Impedance is used as the term in AC resistance. Resistance is always associated with DC circuits so to distinguish DC resistance from AC resistance the term Reactance is generally used as you stated.

[@hunkydude322]

a c resistance you can see it as a sign wave on a ocilliscope, go to automotive dept the measure that all the time.

[@okaro6595]

No watt created the unit horsepower for power. The unit watt was proposed by Charles William Siemens (brother if the more famous Siemens). Nobody names units for himself.

[@classic287]

Awesome lesson for someone starting out in electricity... At my first job as a teen, there was an electrician who tried to teach me some electronics. He was showing me colors of wire as they pertain to ohms. I wasn’t very interested. The only one I can remember right now, is orange, which I think is 7. Am I right?

[@WordofAdviceTV]

Thank you! So you were an electrician in the making at one point! There's still much to be discovered about you Mr. Classic :) I am not sure about the electrician field but in HVAC, the color of wires do not represent any ohm rating/resistance. Or maybe I just don't know about this... Hmm.. Maybe a technician who's experience rivals my age will be able to have a concrete answer for us.

[@proanswers]

thats what apps are for now (passt: manuals, slide rulers, protractors, etc). Any thing that can be looked up by a tool i.e. resistor color codes-really shouldn't be memorized. www.allaboutcircuits.com/tools/resistor-color-code-calculator/. Answer 7 is violet orange is 3- I looked it up! The best teacher is doing not memorizing.

[@hunkydude322]

if your really instereted in HVAC career go to a vocational school, they'll teach you everything from A to Z good luck.

[@classic287]

Word of Advice TV, I wonder what he was talking about then. The numbers were from 1 to maybe 12 or more, I was to memorize the color to the number. ????

[@classic287]

Pro Answers, OK, thank you. As a teen, I wasn’t very interested, and didn’t get far with his electronics lessons.
