A thing about potential transformers is that their 'PT use' power rating is small for their size to keep the potential ratio as close as possible to spec (120 to 1 and 150 to 1 in this case) as the PT is usually feeding things that want to know what the primary potential is but would turn into angry expensive arc flash hazard of doom fireballs if fed that primary potential directly. They can be used for higher powers (some even specify this 'power use' rating on the nameplate or in the transformer documentation), which is especially important for niche applications like needing up to a few kVA of 120V (in the 'Murrica/Canaderp case) angry pixies and all you have is a 69kV or higher transmission circuit.

This is such a lovely explanation!! 👍👍 If just more people would see this

[@ChaoticGoodChris]

You're welcome to share it with anyone, or any group, you wish. :) I'm trying to Educate, Inspire, and Entertain. Part of that is building an audience.

What happened to the channel?

[@ChaoticGoodChris]

Life happened. We're back in production and new episodes are coming out soon. :)

[@kaiser7637]

@@ChaoticGoodChrisvideos like this on your personal channel would be awesome too. Obviously this video was pretty basic but I’d love to see you explain more complicated concepts with the same unhinged humor

[@shawnbutcher1153]

I was loving this series!

[@ChaoticGoodChris]

New episodes coming soon :)

[@tedlahm5740]

My 1972 pop up toaster works exactly like that. Glowing wire. Increased voltage. would eliminate the toast. No glowing wire.

[@lewerim]

That was one of the best demonstrations of Ohm's Law I've seen. It really made it click. Oh, and I i saw a number of things that were Cool.

[@Tyler-yn7im]

Good job and good explanation... I have one question, should my MOT be hot after energizing it and having no load hooked to it? My mot gets quite hot. I am thinking it's normal caused by Eddy currents within the windings and plates. Can i heat sink it or fan cool it? I noticed all microwaves have a fan blowing on the transformer.

[@TheRenaissanceBuilder]

Would you believe me if i told you i perform the same process with btu’s in a hydronic heating system?

[@hopsta]

I saw a peak of 22 amps on the meter. So 22 amps x 120v= 2640w. After the first transformer (i.e. Over that wire) is 2640w / 14400v = 0.18333 amps.

[@Vrchat_video]

Bro they use to do nerf things💀

[@michaelardai9703]

You can get nice thin wire by taking a single strand from some zip cord or other stranded wire

[@ChaoticGoodChris]

That's a great idea! I tried going that route when we shot this, but the best I had was a single strand from some 12AWG THHN.....which is about the same size as this. In this video I ended up using a piece of Cat-6.

[@familiarspider6400]

Hey what happens if you make fulgurite with magnetic sand? Also organite?

[@jame358]

watching this i gotta admit, thats pretty cool.

[@mathysgobeil1592]

I think the 14,4kv side was at around 83ma. Anyway that’s another great video of that series. Even a hv beginner could understand these fundamentals knowledges. Thanks and keep going like that

[@TheFriskyComiskey]

And that's pretty cool.

[@Nakkiteline]

my late father was an electrician. i always wanted to understand electricity because my dad understood all of it and often spoke about it. i tried to understand but he wasn't a teacher like you are, Chris. now i start to finally understand, your style of teaching is just perfect for me and i'm very particular about it; i learn nothing if the approach isn't right. BIG THANKS!! i'm going to use your channel to learn about high voltages. electricity is almost witchcraft, that's what makes it so inheritently cool! cheers from Finland!!! 😎🤘🏻🇫🇮

[@greensteve9307]

Where is the link to Ohm's law?

[@LtKernelPanic]

Looks like peak draw was 21.62A (at 10:08) but since you were stepping down from 14,400 at 150:1 you were only getting an output of 96v instead of 120v for a total of 2075W or about 144mA across the wires. That's assuming you had 120v in to the PT and it was outputting 14.4kv to your step down transformer.

[@allanwatson3550]

This is an awesome demonstration - it’s one thing to here these things over and over in a classroom or book but just seeing in action like u just did wraps it all up nicely

[@Egress.]

what ended up happening to the air raid siren the geek group had?

[@ChaoticGoodChris]

It fell off the roof during demolition of the building a few weeks ago. Thanks to Joey's exceptional build engineering it survived intact. :) Thanks to the help of a couple dear friends we recovered it and it will be appearing in future videos. :)

[@SaintNicholas322]

Good video 👍 You're wrong about Tesla though but I still learn a lot from your videos keep it up!

[@NickHorvath]

120v * 120/150 = 96V output * 23A max load = 2208W / 14400V = 0.15333... A on the HV wire.

[@SamSitar]

your experimentation is easy to follow. off camera sounds like you were using the angle grinder to dismantle the transformer.

[@tedlahm5740]

Volts time amps equal watts. Is this Ohms law? Pull amps by lowering the resistance in the load. (Ohms law);

[@jodroboxes]

This is great, can't wait to see where this series is heading.

[@NotAClueWhy]

well. this comment aged.

[@bobbyg6438]

One of the better videos ive seen on youtube in a long time, Was great to watch and cant wait to watch more!

[@littleshopofelectrons4014]

Good demonstration of how a few small diameter high voltage lines can carry the output of an entire power plant.

[@greensteve9307]

"No matter watt" ...no pun intended?

[@canral]

I got busy with life and came back to a dead channel. I was keeping up with the high voltage stuff until like 2 years ago, Episode 15. He was always saying he was teaching the basics, so he could continue on with the more advanced high voltage projects later.

[@ChaoticGoodChris]

New videos are in production right now. :)

[@canral]

@@ChaoticGoodChris Wonderful, this is great news.

[@ChaoticGoodChris]

It's going to be a little weird at the beginning. The series is getting a MASSIVE upgrade. The shooting style will be different, but I think you're really going to like the changes. It's such a big change that I may be starting over from scratch. There will also be a LOT of supporting materials to go with the videos. :) You're in for some big surprises.
