probably?? do you really think he does not know what he is doing? it's all for show. in the scene in the house when he plugs in the voltmeter you dont see that he puts the to wires (black and red) in a circuit (it;s film in such a way that you dont see it) so that when he connects to the socket it will make a spark. He knows what he is doing. 100% all the time. so it's just a show

[@wormhole331]

At 2:09 the transformer isn't really blowing up. He rigged a undervolted capacitor to the ac lines ,that couldn't be seen, and would blow up when plugged it. Seems to be one of his favorite tricks. Even tho most of the mishaps are staged it doesn't take away the entertainment value for me.

We used to do this all the time at the entertainment lighting company I used to work at.

Then we went to set up some lights 230V for a small show on the USS Midway museum. Despite my best tries and some then baffling multi-meter readings we never got it to work, and had to come up with some 110V lights. A few years later I found out that ships typically use delta power because the insulation performance of the jackets of power cables was not well trusted in marine environments, so the systems were designed to have as low of potential to ground as possible. This means that old ships like the Midway and even many new cruise ships have two hots and a ground instead of hot-ground-neutral like you'd typically see on a 110V system.

4:00 the reason why the meter exploded: as he said his meter was on "current". His 20 A plug is directly shorted to ground with a thick copper wire. Which means, probing the 240 V socket is the same with shorting itself, yields extra power and explodes the copper wire inside. I'm pretty surprised the house's breaker didn't open after a sudden circuit short.

[@TheJugiChan]

@@vladchira521 The casings in multimeters are pretty thick. When stuff blows up inside you just hear a noise, definitively you don't see sparks shoot out. Multimeters have a fuse inside that protects the rest of the electronics and you can only hear a faint click when it blows.

Well, it's actually 220V and 127V. And the reason the lower voltage is 127 instead of 120 is so wiring two phases together gives you exactly 220V, which allows you to do what Mehdi did more reliably (but you probably want to wire up a proper socket instead of making this two plug monstrosity he did).

[@pedrobrito461]

Brazil is a lot of fun: we get 127 V where I'm writing this, but drive north for an hour and 220 V is standard, a legacy from decisions by early local utilities. In some places it's a matter of crossing the street, apparently. Similar to North America, some appliances need 220 V, and homes in 127 V areas can get two phases offset by 120° for those.

[@kennedysama]

In a lot of houses there's rooms that are 127 and another's that are 220,it's really wild

[@tomstdenis]

In Ottawa where i live 122-123V is the norm though I've seen it sag to 118V before and rise to 125V before. I've even had my UPS trip on an OVER voltage from the utility but that was a rare event.

[@lucaskendc]

In Brazil some cities have 220V line voltage (that is 127v phase voltage), other cities have 380V line voltage (or 220V phase voltage) but the 380v voltage is not used in residential applications.

240v is pretty common to single family homes. You have 208v in your apartment because the building gets hi voltage to the utility room, and has their own transformer, and steps uses it for 3 phase power.

[@ScottsSynthStuff]

As I'm quite sure you know, the buildings are fed with 3-phase power, which is why the two phases sent to your apartment are 120 degrees out of phase. Also, it's code that kitchen outlets are split onto separate branches, so that each has a full 15-amp circuit. Because they are tied into a pair of breakers that are ganged, you end up with each outlet on one half of the 240vac circuit. Which again, I'm sure you already know. Have a great Christmas/whatever they celebrate in Iran. Thank you for a year of education and entertainment, Mehdi!

individual houses aren't supplied with 3 phase supply. It is only one of the 3 phases (RYB) that reach a house along with the neutral wire.

[@jide7765]

I think that kind of wiring is specific to North America... In Europe, there is only 1 phase going to houses and appartements. One can ask for 3-phase if one needs high power, like a professional..

[@Zizzily]

The reason for the difference is that in residential, you only get split single phase going to the house, so you get the 120/240V. In commercial/larger residential, you'll see the 3-phase wye 120/208 volts. Sometimes, in an area with mixed residential and commercial, you'll sometimes get 120/208/240V high-leg delta 3-phase, b phase is the high leg so it's 120V phase a and c to neutral, 240V phase to phase, and 208V phase b to neutral since if you run it without the high phase, you'll get the same split single phase. In industrial, you often see 3-phase wye 277/480V.

[@ArshdeepSingh-oc1oo]

u engineer?????

[@brianleeper5737]

Most of the time, in residential areas, the power company only runs a single phase primary on the side streets. As far as high-leg delta, you aren't supposed to use phase b to neutral to run 208V loads for two reasons: (1)single pole breakers do not usually have the voltage ratings for that use (2) it can overload the transformer

[@fromagefrizzbizz9377]

@@ArshdeepSingh-oc1oo It's basic commercial and industrial wiring, commercial and industrial electricians who work with that stuff every day know it real well. Most residential electricians don't.

i brought over some UK style outlets and back boxes and installed them at my place in Canada so I can run my UK and Hong Kong bought devices, they work fine for most things but can cause issues for others due to the frequency being 60Hz instead of 50Hz. The UK sockets are so much safer than the American version so I rather install those than change the ends on the devices, so I installed those right into the wall during renovation complete with a proper consumer unit and RCD protection in every room right next to the N.American 120v outlets. The outlets are so much easier to wire too just strip, put the copper in the hole and screw tight vs. the N.American where you have to wrap the wire around the screw which is extremely messy. another good option is to use a car inverter from a 240v country with sufficient power rating and true sine wave (which needs to be researched or tested as some of the manufacturers tell bullshit on the labelling)
