Canadian electrician here. In residential they do use center tapped transformers to obtain 220-240v. Also, we frown on using the push connectors. Especially with the introduction of arc fault circuit interrupter breakers being code now. The contact surface area in the push connectors is so small that it can easily arc or become loose, corrode, etc. It causes the arc fault breakers to nuisance trip, or trip because the push pins arc. Its always best to use the terminal screws. Under Ontario electrical code, you are allowed to change your own devices. But best to call a licensed electrician if you are unsure.

What's your take on cutting the wires everytime the outlet is changed out. He cut twice in this video. Eventually there wouldn't be enough service length left

@shawnhuk

6 жыл бұрын

Vernon PGros Morne - I will usually cut unless I feel the loop is salvageable. If it's pressed into the quick connect you're better off cutting than trying to stick some tiny pointy object into the release. If on the screws, I'll cut if the copper is nicked or marred. That's a possible break point if the wire gets bent or twisted, which is inevitable when pushing the plug back in. As far as the wire getting too short, that is exactly why it's code that there be slack left in the line just outside of the plug. Allowing you to pull more wire into the box, strip it back, and have a usable wire length. If you're stuck replugging a 100 year old house where the wires don't even protrude beyond the box, and there's no slack in the wall, which wasn't practice back the, you can connect a jumper wire. Just marrett on a longer wire and push the connection deep into the back of the box. If using marretts in a box, don't tape them.... Just twist them tight enough that they don't come off... Oh, and, don't ever listen to the guys at home Depot.... There's a reason they work at home Depot and not in the field. I don't know how many times I've overheard bad advise... Only once was it bad enough that I actually interjected. Usually, I try to not get involved... Liability is a big deal...

@TheEulerID

That's only true in those countries that use the Schuko connector. It's a weakness of that connector that it is not polarised as it means that if an internal fuse in a device blows there's a 50:50 chance it's still live. It also means that single pole switches, such as those on table lamps, always break the live side rather than it being a 50:50 lottery. Several other countries, like the UK, Ireland, Malta have polarised outlets as well as some non-EU countries, like Switzerland. The original North American outlet wasn't polarised either, and the feature was added as a safety feature via a wider blade (although it maintains compatibility with unpolarised plugs where that isn't required).

@TheLukasz032

Nope. In Poland we have mandatory Polish Norms which do specify the live wire shall always be at the left side of the protective earth contact, and the neutral on the right side, with the protective earth contact above them. This way even if the receptacle is rotated, wires still are oriented the proper way.

3:28 I'd also like to point out that the two share the same ground, so it isn't necessary to connect the scope ground to the neutral.

I didn’t read every single comment to see if this is posted or not, but the reason that homes and small buildings have 240V and large buildings (including large apartment complexes) have 208V is because the large buildings get 3-phase power sent to them. The phases are 120 deg apart on 3 phase, so if you take 2 of the 3 phases, you get 208V. For smaller residential, they use the dual tap transformers as you said, and the phases are 180 deg apart, so you get 240V instead. Most devices that require “240V” in the US are also designed to work on 208V, although they will be a little less powerful when working on the lower voltage.

I've always heard that most electricians use the screws rather than the holes. I assume there are reasons for that. Also, if you're going to do this, or if you just want to know, you should probably get a socket tester to test your outlets. They're like $5-$10 and can let you know if any of your outlets are messed up or ungrounded.

Abbreviated Reviews The set screws provide better grip and electrical contact. What Mehdi did in the video is called "backstabbing" and this is frowned upon by most professional electricians including myself.

@merlinmagnus873

The only outlets I'll buy, which are the commercial grade ones, don't have the backstab holes. They also grip the plug much better and are designed to take more abuse. They cost a couple bucks more than the cheap ones. The quick way to remove wires from the backstab holes, by the way, is to take a pair of channellocks or vice-grips and just crush the outlet. The plastic breaks and you get a good look at just how cheezy those backstab connections really are.

*DEMONITIZED AGE-RESTRICTED*

Hilarious videos (plural), BUT as far as stabbing the wires into the holes in the back of the outlet, it's called 'backstabbing,' and it's become a no no in the trade. I have so many pictures of the negative effects of backstabbing... mostly due to the fact that electrical wires vibrate (unnoticeable to the human eye) and eventually the backstabbed wires work their way out of the back, resulting in an arc which results in (at minimum) burning up the outlet. Most companies will fire someone for doing that these days. It's best to kill the power at the breaker, loop the wire(s) around the mechanical screw(s), then tighten down the screw(s). It's safer, and it is very difficult for the wire to work its way out. Just a safety tip for any DIY people out there. ;)

We have those as well, GFCI/AFCI outlets typically have those style connectors and they are awesome! just strip according to the strip gauge on back of wire and then tighten the living nuts out of them although some devices have cheap metal that I've broken from over-tightening. Just think... people have used AL wiring in backstabbing scenarios. (I called it Stab-Lock in my comment... another HORRIBLE technology) @@markokrsmanovic1080

Hello Mr. Boom, even though you might not see this, you have inspired me to become an electrical engineer. People like you and Great Scott have been a big inspiration. I knew from when I started watching your videos I knew I was hooked. Keep the great videos up. And keep inspiring people. I love what you do. Thank you

You mean that was shocking.

I remember I was doing some work in my bathroom with the light switches, and I called a couple of my license electrician buddies for a few questions. I told them I had to put the phone down to go turn the breaker back on. They told me "ooooh, you're smart and went one step further and turned off the breaker!" I responded, "well how else am I supposed to do this?!"

Real youtuber doesnt exclude mistakes. Great video mr. Mehdi

Ikr. That’s why u should *always* tighten all the screws n wrap the electric tape around the outlet after installation. But as long as ur not touching the neutral/ground and the hot at the same time u should be fine, given that u are well insulated from the ground (the earth).

As an electrician I can tell you now do not use the hole in the back to plug the wires in make hooks and tighten them down around the screws

I was always told that over the years, warming and cooling can loosen the connection and eventually cause resistance... leading to more heat, etc etc... same reason aluminum wire is a bad idea for internal wiring. Best to do it the hard way and clamp them down good with the fasteners

besides any safety issues, it's just more convenient to unscrew and pull a loop off later if you ever gotta replace it

Thanks for the funny and educational videos! One small request: Could you make a video about LED? Once I started watching your vid for learning electrical science, I realized other videos on KZread are much harder to understand what's really going on.

In Mexico you can't be sure :D Even retail products that I had to cut off their plugs have their wires inverted and/or no color code. Also pretty common in houses over 20 years to have all their wiring build with the same insulator color.

Dude my heart raises every time you shock yourself 😂

the act of just pushing the wires into those little holes instead of using the screws to secure wires is literally called “back stabbing”. Personal preference, I don’t trust it as much as when someone uses the screws on the sides. The contact point of the edge of the metal tabs in a back stab seems flimsy and is a smaller contact point, resulting in what I’d think would be more heat when using high amp things (like vacuum cleaners or power tools). Please test this out in a video sometime. I’d love to see your take on trying to catch an outlet on fire in that context.

I'm questioning how you are still alive at this point

North American plug sockets suck. U.K. sockets are a lot more secure and safer 🇬🇧 The only disadvantage is that if there is a plug on the floor with the three pins pointing up and you stand on it.. It really, really hurts 😛

For these type of outlets the screws are more or less color coded. The neutral wire is white and goes on the silver screws. The hot is black and goes on the brass colored screws. If you use the holes, make sure to use the ones on the same side as the screw color as appropriate.

I'll be at Maker Faire and glad to be of assistance. Let me know.
