    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

    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.

And yep you watch his interview with keysight hes very explicit about how its staged and how its funny to him the newer viewers who dont know yet ...make sure its on voltage and not current? The wiring is very explicitly different for V vs I on the DMM it has nothing to do with setting (different sockets). And the I input is fused with a pretty low current vs currents you might encounter in industry

    We used to do this all the time at the entertainment lighting company I used to work at. It was super janky, but we had a box of 2x5-15 to 1xL5-20 adapters to run 220v moving lights that we used far more then should probably be admitted for home wedding or small corporate event type shows. 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.

    I have an entire setup in my workshop to run European tools. Schuko outlets installed over the work bench, an entire DIN rail distribution board, complete with RCBOs for the branch circuits. Line to line here is 240v but since we are served by a center tapped open delta 3 phase system, we also have a high leg available that is 208v to neutral. So we have 3 phase 240, 240v L-L, 120v L-N and 208v L-N available all in the same panel.

    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)

    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).

    What also sucks is when everyone just starts and just like you said you can't figure out the question. 20 seconds later you hear people flipping pages. That always puts pressure on me

    Okay Mehdi I admit I was shocked at the power coming out of the owen outlet , that shock actually grounded you for a second I hope it did not damage you to much as you propperly know the larger the plug the more power it gives :D and that is a giant plug.

    Most important lesson: Whenever possible, don't work on live electrical equipment. Which means unplug it or flip the breaker, and discharge any large capacitors.
