Did you catch my typo "Fauilure" in the video?! hopefully not! I should check my texts better!
Your fauilure is success
@Jamesee777 Hi. Thanks for the reply. I have to say that I am from Germany and might spell some words wrong. Sorry for that if it happenes (:-). Here WAGOs are standard which I am a great fan of. Most importantly if you take such "wirenuts" off of a cable the wire-ends are pretty damaged and you have to cut them off most of the time. So your cable gets shorter and shorter every time you change something in that circut until you are left with a like a 1inch piece of wire in your "connection-box" (in Germany we call them "Abzweigdose") (I don't mean fusepanel). Thats where WAGOs are significantly better. You can take a wire in and out of a WAGO for dozends of times before it's beat up. Another advantage is that WAGOs are much smaller and you can use the space available much more efficiently. Also what do you do if you have a flexible (stranded) wire? As far as I know wirenuts aren't allowed for that kind of wire. In WAGOs they are. I would like to know your thoughts about this topic and the things I just mentioned. Best regards from Bavaria
@Michael Huber That's the norm here. But I must say, they work great if used properly. I've used WAGOs before too but it's rarely used in the field here.s. If I had to choose, I guess it will be WAGOs for ease of use. In my house, wire nuts because I know how to use them correctly and my own body weight won't be able to separate the wires. lol
@ElectroBOOM Why the hack are you still using these horrible connectors ("wire nuts") over there??? I live in Germany and here WAGO-terminals are the STANDARD. They aren't expencive at all, small, very easy to use and most importantly very safe. They are like 10$ for 50 or 100 WAGO's. Please try them and you will realize what pieces of junk you have been using before.

Anti short bushing we like to call em redheads 😃
I need a mutimeter
His house has not burnt down yet. good for him
in germany we call it "knorzen" whitch is iligeal
👁 👁 👃 👄
your channel is very good at both educating young electricians and instilling the fear of death in them
Have you ever heard of cold electricity or teslas easy to reproduce hair pin circuit? Whats your thoughts on it?
I learned so much from this video, it's nuts. Thank you for doing this update.
8:06 DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME
Official member of the Romex on the outside of your house club now!
You and Michael reeves are like long lost brothers
Dammit you puth it sideway's again
imagine some americans complaining about heating outside with a super efficient infrared heater; while their whole country literally does the same thing all year around with super inefficient air conditioning systems.
No gas emissions, oh btw my electric comes from coal.
Basically breakers are there to protect only wires and not equipment attached. Burnt wires are hard to replace and in wooden building burning wires pose a serious threat. Breakers protect wires. There are cases when you want to protect equipment too, but most probably equipment manual describes how to do it.
Are the anti shorts those weird plastic things on pole wires during construction of buildings?
Hello pls say the reason why don't you respond to the comments?
European (German) here. What is the name of these silver "thingies" around the wires that go from/to the outlet? It's like a protective sleeve for multiple cables. I'd like to look up if we have those too (never seen one around here) but need the name to research.
you mean the armored cable its like your underground cable without the outer steel braid and rubber sheath think like metal flexie? and yes it can come with a rubber sheath for wet locations and underground. its called mc (metal clad armor cable)
No you can not leave it 30 amps, check the cec. There is a specific section for heaters. Also if the outlet is still sharing the same breaker as the heater that is also a code violation
FWIW gas heating is more environmentally friendly than electric heating IF your electricity comes from fossil fuels
Bruh, soon you might start having lightning powers the more you electrocuted yourself. Lol
4:50 ahhahaha
9:37 What are inside those "High Quality Instrument" boxes, straight from China? :) Maybe... some GIVEAWAY? :) givmidascope! :D
I am here watching these videos because I was not able to get time to watch them. Forgive me MEHDI for I have failed you.
If you open your breaker box more frequently then keep it open so you can fall in love with the components, specially for Mehdi
It's so funny when he gets electrized and makes me laugh that I fart 😂😂😂😂
"Short" comings? I sincerely hope so
Electrical engineers and electricians are two very different kinds of people.
You are the best and funny
Bruh! I got frightened again due this explosion at 8:06 .😭
Finally a video in which MEHDI didnt get shocked...😂♥️♥️
HOW ARE YOU ALIVE MAN
why does mehdi look like a balding simon cowell
Your wiring is nothing like in the UK. I understand some of the ways you do it. I do like the metal clad wiring.
its a lot like the uk we just split our transformer for two 120 lines but we can combine both phases and use your appliances provided they can run at 60 hertz i use a gb kettle and hair dryer. also i use your outdoor outlet and enclosure with a special home made adapter you should see the looks of pple when they try to steal my power their little plug trying to fit lol. same principle neutral, hot leg and earth. except most of our 240 appliances are balanced and dont need neutral . o and where not fannies we dont mind a little jolt and ash from plugging and unplugging no switches on our outlets and we just started to use shutters on them lol
I, Robot: 7:28
Hey, please do more Latitty
I want to become an electrician, and this guy has taught me more than my high school can.
That’s pretty interesting, every single breaker I’ve messed with usually has a set current to trip at. Let’s say you have a 20 amp breaker, if the current reaches 20 A or more, the breaker will more or less immediately trip. This might be some sort of special breaker I’ve never heard of. I even searched an educational video on the topic, the video explained that a breaker will trip immediately if the current goes above its rating, or is directly shorted. Am I overthinking this or this is just how breakers worked all along, and if that’s true then none of the breakers I’ve installed worked that way.
most breakers have two types of tripping an immediate rush of current like a dead short will trip an eletromagnet switch and if your gradually pulling to many amps/watts there is a bi-metal temp switch tht heats up and trips. this is a great channel explains a lot in simple terms roworld.info/done/video/1Wjeg4yypc5rbag
Mehdi and us are learning new things from each others... As long as that is happening... Medhi will be my teacher... always will be... This is why Mehdi deserve lots of subs
I must admit to initially being confused why you'd need 30A for just 4kW. Then watching the video realised you're not in 240V-land.
roworld.info/done/video/y4DTiKG-mpl_p5c he technically cld have used 12 gauge wire and a dble pole 20amp making it a 4800 watt circuit using 16.7 amps
Why the hack are you still using these horrible connectors ("wire nuts") over there??? I live in Germany and here WAGO-terminals are the STANDARD.

they perfectly fine if you twist wires first and use wirenuts as an insulator only unfortunately pple use them as a connector. i myself prefer copper crimps and plastic sleeves roworld.info/done/video/tp22mZPXhtCQiso i have started to use wagos for earths and fixtures easy to remove and reuse
Nice! So in canada, it's okay to do your own home mains wiring and have it approved by the youtube ESA inspector, eh?
same in most of the usa and some areas you dont even need a permit and inspection( to bad my state is not one) but nowhere near as bad as some lol
Do that microwave thing that u saw on reddit and u promised to us
Do flash graphene!
4:35 mech-uh-niz-um
Electroboom both hilarious and informational 👌👌
Happy birthday Mehdi! It's on 13th January so happy birthday
Now you need to replace all those Connector Nuts with Lever Wire Connectors.
US/Canadian electric work is just funny compared to european xD In eastern europe "live lines" we only got in main breakers like for whole apartment block from 1980's, big fuses, you even cannot tie together two breakers. only thing better i see is that you have an metal cord saving from drilling it, we mostly use plastic
o dont be fooled we use mostly plastic in n.america only real craftsman will use mc but i prefer to use ridged softwall conduit (saves a ton of clips and looks neater and easier to paint)or schedule 40 pvc for underground or wet areas we have rubber vinyl coated mc for flexibility areas like connecting to appliances
Global warming & Corona pandamic....... Please just keep to what you know (electric engineering) instead of promoting propaganda BS.
BooM👍🤓👍
Never hier electroBOOM to fix ur house wire.
Never hire this guy to grade spelling work.
Too good than 5min craft
Big fan man
Comedy videos 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
5:20 That makes no sense. Are you guys trying to tell us that there is a significant chance that electricity will jump to the wood INSTEAD OF THE GROUNDED METAL BREAKER BOX.
no not electricity sparks or flame some of us will try to seal up gaps or use metal connecters to make a firestop. i prefer to use cement board all around panel/distribution board but thts overkill to most
Turns out you did it all wrong and are going to have to demolish the whole house and start over
so many code infractions. No you can't put a 17Amp load on 30Amps. 80% non continuous duty and over current is for protection when it fails...not operation. You haven't bonded the armour of the cable to All boxes which is a shock hazard. Worse, and no there is no special code for you...you cannot combine a 30Amp receptacle with a heat circuit. It's called too much load....and when you forget that your jankie EV changer circuit is running and your kid turns on the outdoor heat...over load...fire...neighbours house burns too...old neighbour grandma doesn't make it out...no insurance...bye bye house and pray when the coroners inquest takes you from your family because you posted proof on YT.... "engineers" no nothing about installation...leave it to the electricians....and stick to electronics....at least you do that safely.
looool
The saddest day is when electroboom get electrocuted :(
awesome video as always m8, wish i had an electrician like yourself here to fix some..well..things..in my house :P
After rewatching this i want that $0.10 giveaway
m.roworld.info/done/video/2aase32nlbxpqMo
Omg first world problems.... Spark flying on the wood? I've been an electrician for 10 years now and never had any problem with that. If sparks are flying inside the power box, wood is the least of your problems.
So when you gonna show us your team
Hi
why even use metal jacket wires ? can anyone explain im from swiss and we just use gum/plastik jacket wire.
ya our codes state(most of n.america) cables cannot be exposed to immediate puncture or stress damage so you cant have non metallic sheathed wires just running across easily exposed walls or floors tht cld be brushed, hit or pulled on or running thru joists in exposed ceilings(pple will hang clothes from them and other items. i myself would have used either softwall conduit or my first choice schedule 40 pvc(you only need a clip every 1.3 meters) to a j-box within .3 meters away from heater than go with a .75meter flexible weathertight conduit to the fixture/heater.(something like this www.homedepot.com/p/Southwire-4-ft-8-2-Ultra-Whip-Liquidtight-Flexible-Non-Metallic-PVC-Conduit-Cable-Whip-55311401/307478862?source=shoppingads&locale=en-US&mtc=Shopping-VF-F_D27E-G-D27E-27_4_WIRE-MULTI-NA-Feed-PLA-NA-NA-WIRE&cm_mmc=Shopping-VF-F_D27E-G-D27E-27_4_WIRE-MULTI-NA-Feed-PLA-NA-NA-WIRE-71700000033102394-58700003868933539-92700048704108416&gclid=Cj0KCQiAvvKBBhCXARIsACTePW_XXVoCydhaMXAwLWDpQ0dzSTHXg5_VkPALWpVrpzXRWdYrQAbJWvAaAitvEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds )his method dose pass code (bare minimum standards) where my method wld be more on the more professional longer lasting aesthetically more appealing looking not to mention you can paint the pvc too
His the old Elon mouk
I love this random giveaway 😂7:22
Tell how to make a uv light for plants
Big fan of yours 😃😊😇🤗
"Does heating outside contribute to global warming?" I do remember one Scifi story where humanity found out cheap, clean source of energy and almost caused global warming event anyway, because everyone stopped bothering with saving energy and waste heat from stuff almost led to climate catastrophe. Then again Clarke probably didn't take into account energy efficient stuff that might be invented in preceding years (or years after his death).
I pressed the like button, for the eyebrows.
JUICY ROworld MONEY ! 😂
Im from EU. Why do you use that metal jacket? Am I missing something?

he mad.
even stuff like this is fun to watch with you in it Also: safety is important
Luv your videos i learn something too and dont mind my profiler picture ❤️
*Hits like at **7:30*
alwese amazed that it is all metal, the cable guards, the power outled houses, etc. even no grounding of the metal outleds. it's all plastic on the other side of the ocean
the anti-short device also works great in a pinch to remove fuel lines on most modern cars...
博士，那是分压电流保險断电器，不累压咔，电压量吸跳断电，，，。
"We use two *janged* breakers" LOL
those metal fitings in electrics are not allowed in europe
the glands they are a lot like your armored cable ones as long as you use the anti shorts no sharp edges to cut into cables hell ive seen a lot of GB panels they dont use any glands or gaskets- cables just bang around into sharp edges lol
Heaters are 100% efficient, change my mind.
its true for every 1watt consumed is 1 btu of heat.
Welcome to the life of an electrician LMAO
My god, American, or Canadian for that matter, cabeling looks so Horrible, poorly made, cheap, and flimsy if you know what it looks like in Germany/Austria.
not the preferred way to do it i myself would have used either softwall conduit or my first choice schedule 40 pvc(you only need a clip every 1.3 meters) to a j-box within .3 meters away from heater than go with a .75meter flexible weathertight conduit to the fixture/heater.(something like this www.homedepot.com/p/Southwire-4-ft-8-2-Ultra-Whip-Liquidtight-Flexible-Non-Metallic-PVC-Conduit-Cable-Whip-55311401/307478862?source=shoppingads&locale=en-US&mtc=Shopping-VF-F_D27E-G-D27E-27_4_WIRE-MULTI-NA-Feed-PLA-NA-NA-WIRE&cm_mmc=Shopping-VF-F_D27E-G-D27E-27_4_WIRE-MULTI-NA-Feed-PLA-NA-NA-WIRE-71700000033102394-58700003868933539-92700048704108416&gclid=Cj0KCQiAvvKBBhCXARIsACTePW_XXVoCydhaMXAwLWDpQ0dzSTHXg5_VkPALWpVrpzXRWdYrQAbJWvAaAitvEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds )his method dose pass code (bare minimum standards) where my method wld be more on the more professional longer lasting aesthetically more appealing looking not to mention you can paint the pvc too
Like your videos . I think a good topic I would like to see is regarding ethernet datacables in wall does and don'ts etc .I know you will uncover intresting stuff aside from the usual
Wiring in Canada and the US looks terrible compared to the UK.
ive seen the same done with plastic flexie from GB sparks looks the same and not as durable as the metalclad he used i myself wld have used a softwall conduit or even better schedule 40 pvc conduit
im surprised that this guys body didnt has already electricity inmunity
Sir please upload more videos ,it help me a lot
MEHDI!!!! PLEASE REVIEW THIS roworld.info/done/video/qanUlGWVmcypeZM
I’m honestly surprised how much this you get shocked and ect and still isn’t badly hurt or dead
also to anyone who comments this I had watched his vids
He did not upload for some time... I am worried.
For normies this was maybe boring, but for an electrician these type of vids are really interesting.
Can you rectify peltier videos
you know this man has peaked when you only have to google "man who electrocutes himself" to find the legend
he truly is legend
HUU I can smell a Tesla soon soon soon :) :)
You're almost at 420 million subs. Nice!
