It worked! I fixed my roommate's hotplate using this video. Thank you sir.

[@bandq]

Woo 👏 You're the roommate of the year 🏆

[@danieldaniel-iw5rh]

You should have stressed how important it is make sure the damaged plug can no longer be used or plugged in . They should not be re used if damaged . I know a person who re used a damaged pug , when she went to plug it in the cover slipped off exposing the live terminals . It blew a hole in her hand .

[@purplepantheradk]

WHOA! Yeah, that's pertinent information to know.

[@bappyfaisal9146]

Cheers dude, I've fixed my Iron just now. TY

[@dmgladden]

the live should be tight (as short as possible) in case the cord grip fails the first wire to disconnect is the Live making the appliance safe, should the neutral disconnect first it leaves the appliance live but in a false state of being dead, if a earth is the first to disconnect it would leave the user acting as the only earth in the case of a fault.

[@shalinibharti9954]

Thanks

[@mierazizie7401]

what is the name copper infront each cable?

[@bandq]

Hi, the caps at the ends of the wires are called ferrules. They can also be known as 'crimps'. You will find these on our website here - bit.ly/3WfLoyq. I hope that helps 😊

[@mrmcfinn5347]

Thanks for this

[@SaraH-gi4pm]

[@ervinvastag7551]

I have noticed that you did not replace the black safety sleeve that was on at the beginning. Is it not necessary?

[@ervinvastag7551]

Thank you

[@elena6048]

Thanks alot!

[@liamdraper447]

I got something that’s American so it’s plug type A, can I change it for a type G

[@grassytramtracks]

Check that somewhere on the appliance it says it's dual voltage (if the range of voltages marked goes up to 230V or 240V. America uses a lower voltage and not some appliances work on both voltages, but not all do

[@aeris2001]

Life saver!!!

[@fitimismani1201]

I have a blue and black, which one is neutral

[@bandq]

Hi there! We'd always recommend consulting a qualified electrician regarding any electrical advice.

[@steve_oo]

Can you use any plug that fits an appliance as long as it has the correct fuse for the appliance? e.g I lost my cable for my tv, it’s basically similar to a kettle lead and I found another one that fits. On the plug I found it says 3A printed on it and it has a 3A fuse. So i took the 3A fuse out and put a 10A fuse in, as I 100% know the tv needs a 10A fuse. Is this ok to use as I’ve put the correct fuse in the plug for the tv?

[@alunroberts1439]

If you look along side of the flex it should be printed on it what it can take look down the side also might have 0.5 mm2 That is 3 amps Up to 720 Watts 0.75 mm2 6 amps Up to 1440 Watts 1.0 mm2 10 amps Up to 2400 Watts 1.25 mm2 13 amps Up to 3120 Watts

[@okaro6595]

I doubt any TV requires over 3 A fuse. 3 A is 720 VA, even with a power factor 0.5 that would be 360 W. Few TVs use over 200 W.

[@Haytham-Ali]

Great one Just used to regain my ac from death

[@TheNintendobomb]

Thank you so much :D

[@es4666]

What if im trying to replace an eu plug for a uk plug. On a table lamp.

[@wahhaby9998]

I'm flexing my flex wire

[@chiedzazambe5871]

so helpful

[@znet9452]

i’m in quarantine so i can’t fix anything

[@KiroVencenzo]

why just change the fuse even for the old one , instead buying whole new cord

[@syaz4380]

Its a plug

[@archiehutchinsonhutchinson8326]

SyazTYT's other uploads yeah but can’t you just take the fuse out and put a new one in?

[@syaz4380]

@@archiehutchinsonhutchinson8326 I actually dont know why they didnt change the fuse. Maybe they just want to change the whole plug?

[@archiehutchinsonhutchinson8326]

SyazTYT's other uploads yeah I guess to get the 2 in 1 video maybe?
