The electronic passage (and there are others in that area) brought back some happy memories. When I was an engineering student, I used to get all my parts from that area because they were affordable. I would never expected to see you there. Nice video, you should have shown the breakfast before the plates were clear :)

Although this video throughly covers most of the up-to-date installments, this isn't the case for many buildings or houses in Turkiye (unfortunately). The old porcelain light switches (the ones that become a bit too "energetic" if your hand is humid or wet before contact) as well as some electrician oversights (unnecessary fuse placements for devices that demand high current for the first moments) are still present and maybe even continued. On top, the RCDs sometimes arent tested properly for safety. My teacher once said he went to a kindergarden for inspection and although the principal was "very proud of their RCD installment and general safety precautions", it didnt take him long to realise that RCDs were only tested via their test buttons to see if there is a mechanical problem; they weren't even connected to the infrastructure. But putting these issues aside, I'm happy to hear your opinions about the infrastructure. As an upcoming electrical engineer I'm happy that I've managed to find your content.

Excellent video Mehdi. We hope to see you again. I've been utility locating for 25 years in the US and Turkey, the real mess is below the ground. Popping manholes is a little more challenging than fuse boxes, there are also more convenient spikes to look out for.

Welcome Mehdi, please feel at home. The establishment of the Turkish grid and debates on AC/DC is a compelling story. I strongly recommend a book/report called Türkiye'nin Elektrikfikasyonu (Electrification of Turkey) by Refik Fenmen (1935). For instance, Fenmen's team has visited the Niagara Falls Hydroelectric Power Station (Westinghouse), which is the first large-scale application of Tesla's AC system. Inspired by Niagara Falls, a small-scale hydroelectric power plant was established on Çaylak Falls in Susurluk/Balıkesir (I am working on establishing an industrial heritage museum here).

In Turkey RCD are mandatory somehow. But the buildings electrical setups are so old in order for RCD to work they have to find every single point that might trip the RCD. So, they dont want to deal with that and just put the RCD but they dont connect properly. You can understand that by pressing test button it doesnot work :) My dad is an electrician from Turkey thats why I know.

In Turkey, people don't particularly like residual current circuit breakers (RCCBs) because they constantly trip downwards. This is due to the lack of sensitivity among Turkish people regarding electricity. They don't pay attention to damaged or stripped insulation cables. So why are RCCBs in the fuse box? Because our electrical regulations require us to install them, but as I mentioned, after installation, people often bypass them and take the phase directly from the fuse, disabling the RCCB. Additionally, in densely populated areas, power transmission lines are underground. The reason you don't see overhead power lines while driving is because of this. I hope you had a great vacation! :D

Of all my travels I met the nicest and friendliest people in Istanbul. Great place!

When an rcd doesnt trip down sometimes turning off the connected circuits and then flicking it on and off a good few times can fix it as they get stuck internally when not operated occasionally.

10:26 I once fixed a coffee machine where the over-temperature sensor was stuck. Sadly I plugged it in to measure voltages and I accidentally grabbed the chassis and some live part inside. I felt a shock and a weird feeling until I eventually let go of the coffee machine because it fell from the table. Power was still on after that because we don't have a GFCI in our basement. Luckily I survived, but it wasn't a nice feeling and I shaked after that.

Istanbul is such a beautiful city, crazy hectic in the summer but still so beautiful. This is making me want to go back. For anyone visiting I recommend Kadikoy on the Asian side, not as touristy, very local and loads of alley ways with shops and bars you can chill in.

It's usually recommended to test them at the beginning and end of daylight savings (because testing them will mess up any mains powered clocks and on those two days you need to set them anyway). Each European country has different electrical regs (although usually based on the same harmonisation documents, just with loads and loads of national amendments and changes) but the basic designs are similar, it's the details that are different. The UK and its former colonies are most different but some things have changed there as well. Ireland, apart from using UK sockets, is much closer to continental practices anyway because of close historic ties with Siemens Germany. I'd say generally speaking there are only two types of electrical setups in the world: European style and US style. Perhaps you could add old UK style as a third (rewirable fuses and all that).

Having done electrical work around my home, I can say with pure belief that people like you exist for a reason. My breakers are a mess. it took a week to get one circuit up to code. Calling up an electrician and seeing him work his magic across 24 circuits in less than two days without starting a fire was a sight to behold. My guess is that the previous owner just found a live and neutral wire whenever he wanted to hook something up, paying no mind to the circuits and where they run to

Here’s a tip from a fellow drone pilot, Whenever a bird is interested in/chasing the drone, go upwards really fast. They will most likely be scared as no bird can perform such move.

Hey Mehdi! I went to Turkey 2 years ago with my family and went to the same place where you went! I'm glad you got a chance to go there! I took my vacation there for 2 weeks and had fun there! And we are in the same hotel!!

I dont think they used a selective differential before the 30mA one. A nice transient to 1A could trip a 300mA leaving the 30mA on! First differential should be a Selective from which secondaries feed. In this case you can be sure your fridge is still running when a fault outside happens(during rain). Nice when you travel a lot. Also a selective diff may not be used as a source for automats without a normal differential breaker. The AREI also states that 30mA is for wet environement sectors when groundresistance is blow 30 Ohms. Otherwise 30mA is used for everything in old buildings(new buildings neer resistance below 30 Ohm.

One thing that is common and I have seen it in actual panels is that usually at shops and businesses they install those protective breakers and what happens is that the breaker starts doing its job. Then they have to figure out where the problem is (usually fridges and AC units) but because they have to reset the breaker every now and then, they will bypass the breaker which IS ILLEGAL.

THANKS BRO

welcome bro i hope enjoy Turkiye...

The thought of Medis wife scolding him behind the scenes everytime he pops a breaker at a hotel lives care free in my head.

Well, hotels have some standards. :D And our main lines are not bad actually. But an old residential apartment flat would be like a dream for you. :D In Turkey, before 1982 grounding was not a must. From 1982 to 1991 grounding in kitchen and bathrooms was a must. After 1991 all house should be grounded. After 2003 or 2005 GFCI became a must. When making a residential renovation in Turkey, nobody checks what you are doing. So, let's say you bought a 1972 model apartment flat and renovated it. You can change it's electrical system, or if you don't want to, you don't have to. So, you house can be grounded or not grounded or partially grounded, or fully covered with gfci. :D Also, in many of the apartment flats, grounding rods are very old and does not do it's job. My office's apartment was like that. I was installing a laser cnc machine. So I checked the grounding and it was seriously bad. I told the apartment. They did not care. So I ran a grounding cable to the ground rod of the boiler of the apartment and connected my apartment flat to ground. :D Another thing: in juction boxes we generally don't use pogo connectors or any type of connector. We use pliers and electric tape. :D My house is 1977 model. I renewed the whole system with better cables, better grounding, GFCI, around 35 automatic fuse. But in my junction boxes pliers and electric tape is used. :D

Welcome to The City man. Best time to come to Istanbul, it's Ramadan holiday(for entire week) and everyone goes to south side of the country. It's not crowded and traffic is low, best time to enjoy the city for me. Enjoy your trip!

I was there on the end of Ramadan till Eid and it was absolutely full😂 Never in my life I saw so many people

I've been there in 2014, and it was already like that, clean and beautiful. And yest it was so strange to see all "same type shop" all in the very same area! I was also near the Galata tower and was visiting EXACTLY the same places. The hardware market is BIG, and the Bazaar is SUPER HUGE! Great memories: and for an Italian like me isn't so immediate to be fashinated so much by other places. But this was special...

Shouldn't it be the norm? Much like a market, you place same type of products close togather so you don't travel all over the place looking for them. It also simplifies logistics. Rare stuff is more easily found because shops are next to each other.

The video i was waiting for.

Unironically this is the trippiest thing I’ve ever seen. The streets once I saw for hundreds of times and there is a person commenting in a language other than Turkish. You’ve made us feel like we have a good place in the internet. Appreciate the video🇹🇷

oh my god. i never thought you would come to turkey. i wish i could come face to face and say hello to you. i hope you had fun times. if i had a teacher who explained electricity and electronics as fun as you did, my business life would definitely be at a different point. thanks for all the fun and educational content.

Great Video ! Usually each main circuit breaker protects 3 to 4 branches, so in this hotel, every 3 rooms have a common main circuit breaker, which is rated for 300-500mA for current leaks and 15A to 45A in short-Circuit. Although it was there to protect the wires between the main panel and the room's panel, fortunately it acted as a double protection preventing fires, but not electrocution. As for the room's GFCI that is rated for 30mA in current leaks, I don't think it's faulty, sometimes technicians bypass it, when it detects current leaks every now and then, instead of looking for the leak/faulty component.

I honestly don't have much interest in electric engineering but those sockets in Turkey look so good and some wires where I like would fit so good in those sockets. It would help so much with the cable wobbling for our electrical kitchen and other appliances.

10:00 metal objects that is not earthed should be double insulated inside, a damaged or loose wire should still have one layer of insulation separating it from the metal outside. Double insulated things is marked with a symbol of a square inside a square.

Yes, I do believe that a lot has improved in terms of electrics in Turkey. But you can't be too sure either, sometimes you find really hair-raising (pun intended) installations. The mentality is also a bit more relaxed. My grandparents are from Turkey and when we visited them, you could feel contact currents when touching their gas stove - my grandpa's answer was: "then just wear slippers with rubber soles" lol

I always bring resistors and a multimeter when I visit other countries! * Excellent video.

Ah yes 6:54 In Argentina, it is recommended (only that) to test the thing once per month because of that
