Ok BOOMers! Just make sure to do this kind of electrician work, consult with your local regulations and licensed specialists before setting your house on fire! I might be missing things here or there in my process... hopefully not!! And see my video at @Mehditation on how I chose the heater: ilworld.info/flow/ha2e03e6q4ezn4o/wyd-w
you're funny.
@mareks raibacis It will probably be boring for Medhi because such an installation is an absolute NO in Europe
In Texas that power bill would be your net worth
MY Physics teacher! I saw Chinese people especially like you!
As an electrician I love this channel
That nail in the breaker box is just the electrician's one simple trick for repeat business and job security :)
Everytime he touches something i get butterflies in stomach
"Dad, i have a boyfriend" 4:07
14:18 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
That 240v electric socket is for your Tesla super charger now right?
This guy has such bad luck that his wires caught fire underwater
14:17😂
Here there is no 120v so 240v with Single phase 6a Three phase 32A Total house breaker connected to power lines And 40A breakers ganged version
At 14:32 we see a woman in the back is that your wife??
as a german electrical engineer this youtube wiring videos are just pure horror!
seriously I love your videos but I can not watch this
Surprisingly relaxing for one of your videos.
This is such a stoner move
There are different categories of breakers for how much current you need for them to trip. Most houses in Australia have a C type circuit breakers installed in which need 7.5 times the rated current to trip instantly.
i have found that living in a country that has incredibly high humidity and heat, the breakers tend to get very twitchy when they sweat - if you want to up the reaction time, try heating the breaker and spraying it with a fine mist of water a few times and then repeat the tests you were doing. Obviously this is not considered a safe, regulatory test method, but it does work! wear rubber gloves if you intend spraying water near your DB!!!!
We all need to mehditate
Okay, .. THIS guy is HILARIOUS ..! Sooo worth clicking "subscribe" and "like". Dude: if you wanna TOTALLY eliminate wattage, voltage, breakers, electrical , wiring etc, .. then do a video on Lil' Timber patio heater (it takes wood pellets and warms up everyone and everything in its path). Google it and better yet --> youtube search it .... you're welcome. (oh, .. and it heats for pennies an evening)
meh
This is EB’s most disappointing video ever: great job, sensible methods, solid parts, succssful outcome and he didn’t electrocute his fingers even once. Now I am going to be grumpy all day.
great video. reminds me of the times I used to install various electrical fixtures with my dad.
Hmm. Screwing something that gets hot to a flammable material like wood. 🤔
4:55 my heart stopped beating watching this
14:33 who that on the window
Isn’t that 240v (120 - 0 -120) outlet for your future Tesla?
I just got an AD about one
3:02 *P O W E R*
Ok now i understood . He installed a 240 v plug to charge his tesla. Well olayed
5:12 😂😂😂
14:35 electrowife?
Diodegonewild was right about the shower head running without water
wow north américan wiring is strange compared to UE norms
As an electrician, you need to stop with these videos. I counted a number of code defects during this install.
Such a brilliant mind and yet so funny !!
This is everyone's crazy construction uncle
Being from Europe I am always amazed about how much current is normal in America.
Does the Switch control that outlet too?
I live how serious and careful he is with something like his house but with other stuff he's so reckless
i learned most of my knowlage about electricity from electroBoom Thanks
man that explosion freaked me out....@ 14:20
RIP showerhead of doom
Wait, that jazz id from DankPods isn't it.
Props to his Alligatorclips 😂
30A breaker for 16A load, seems like a bad decision to me. Sure, thicker cable is ok to use. No big deal just more money to spend for possible higher load device, but breaker breaking at 30A or 20A is kind of a big deal. You could go with 20 and when you get another heater switch it to 30A. Oversizing the breaker like this leads to longer switch off times. Sure, not that much longer but at these amps, you are going to feel every fraction of the second.
Breaker should pop right away Breaker: didn’t pop Showerhead of doom: *FIRE*
How did you add the MC flex connector when you started from inside the panel? Seems like you would want to run nylon ‘fishing’ sticks from the panel to the hole in the wall,and pull the MC flex ( with connector attached) from the wall to the panel. Personally, if I am using a metal switch box, I like to wrap the switch terminals with electrical tape to ensure there is no contact between the two. Are you planning on adding any temperature control to your heater? If so, which one did you pick? The only ones I have seen are over $500.
I cringed a little when he touched the quartz tube
Metal Box and conduit - must be different in Canada and US. (love this guy, good entertainment and education) - Oh E.B., can I get a Keysight Scope please :-)
You missed the anti-shorts at 13:17. Little red nylon inserts so that the wires don't short to the jacket of the Bx over time
I have never seen something ignite under water what the fuck
hnnnnnnnggg the cover being sideways hurts my soul
Before putting the breaker in the panel turn it on and tap the bottom of it with some force and it should trip, I don’t know if it’s 100% fool proof but it’s just something ol’ timers tought me when I started being a electrician, hasn’t failed yet🤷♂️
and.. And.. AND!!” 😂 😂 😂
This may be the best how-to video on ILworld. Strike that. This may be the best how-to video ever made.
It immediately bursts into flames 😂
Only 4000 watts.. cool… I mean hot
9:40 "Hi, today is the next day"
No inserts in the ends of the mc?
Love Electroboom videos, but as a licensed, master electrician, there are a couple items not to code. But nothing too heinous. (Connector needed at panel enclosure, ground screw for EGC at J-boxes only rated for 1 wire, wire nut the others and pigtail to device. Heater disconnect to be within sight of heater, or breaker lock installed. and I know why there is an empty knockout in the 4x4 j-box. Been there...😁) Good job actually, especially fishing the MC/AC through the ceiling space. Yeah, it can be a challenge! Oh, "1-hole strap" is the term your looking for. Great info explaining circuit breaker trip curves. Many people (and electricians) don't realize that breakers are inverse trip devices. More current, shorter trip time, but not going to see instant results at 31 amps.
I realized something: While watching him mounting the wires to the wall, I felt so much more unconfutable compared to when he does stuff in his room. I knew nothing would happen here, but I also knew that this would end him fore sure in case the wires where live. Somehow we or maybe I developed an instinct when it comes to electricity. It's not the super high sounding volts that will kill you... When the wires are getting thick, then you know it's a zero percent chance only. _I've written that comment while stoned out of my mind and I didn't do any re-reading, so tomorrow I will read it again and so how much sense it makes 😅 _
The way he casually waves his finger around live bus bars... 😬
Jazzy ElectroBOOM
elecricity provider must be your fan 😂😜💸⚡️
سلام داداش خیلی باحالی ویدیو ایرانی هم بزار
He really pulled a Spencer from iCarly
“Plugs in random wire” Showerhead: you’ve used the fire spell
As soon as I clicked on the video I got an ad about patio heaters...
GJ
The plug was sideways 😂
AVE used a bucket of salt water as variable load a few episodes back. You should try some electrolysis next time!
the next two day: neighbor:why the hell is my picture down here and why is there wire coming out of my wall?!
Why is the switch in the garage tho?
I wanna know his electric bill
Wow! Im an electrician and there was some major cringe factor going on with that. When you put the MC cable threw the panel near the buss of the panel i was sure there was going to be sparks.
She****************************
"The breaker should POP right away!" *Showerhead bursts into flames
Imagine if he gets his hands on european 3-phase 400V
you can also use a high amp contactor in combination with a wireless touch switch to switch it on and of from outside
dress appropriately and you won't need a heater at all lol
Thankfully you didn't get hurt today
wouldn’t it have been a better idea to put a dimmer switch of that type of something to be able to control the level of power, seems like it would be a pain to just go back and forth if you want to have a certain temperatures
The lack of earth wire sleeve is triggering me
What you could have done is cut a small amount of the wire ( or used the whole lot) connected to the heater and the breaker and tested if it actually worked (turned on didn’t trip etc). Or used a small out of the wire and something you know will pop it like the shower head and then the wires shouldn’t burn which seems to have been the issue you had when testing the breaker.
Wtf just had an ad for patio heaters! FBI!?
People in america: I'm a scientist People in India: Bijli wala aya!!
couldnt we just pedal a grinding stone with heat conducting and storage properties at the correct locations or somethign rofl. at what point is it less convenient!!! :pp
Did you apply for a permit ???
Why does the american breakers take so long to pop in europe my breaker pops right away someone explain plz
H e knows electronics but can but a breaker in.
why does medhi have 3 fridges
this was a really heated video
When you go against code and you say meh, what’s the worst that can happen
do you know what is like to be shocked by 400 volts ac 50hz
I lost it when the shower head caught on fire lol
The breaker experiment was a missed opportunity to backfeed a CT... or a home made CT that goes boom 😉 .
The kindly cd nutritionally drop because lunch desirably precede throughout a hateful playground. trite, absorbing witness
The breaker part is literally the meme with the burning house: _This is fine..._
You need a Secondary Current injection kit to test the Breakers. Also this Kits are used in testing of Current operated relays and other equipment like CT. I made one as my study project.
Hi, today is the next day.. - ElectroBOOM 2020
*house starts burning* The breaker: yea just give me 10 more seconds
as you live close to Linus you could always Call BRIAN THE ELECTRICIAN to help ya :P
