  This is an idea.... but then you have to do the entire house in those bigger plates, or else they look weird.

  Depends on your location In Nova Scotia it s actually no higher than 46 inches to the top of the box for wheelchair accessible, which is deemed by the building code. Not the electrical code.

  If you plug in a new smoke detector without turning the main breaker off.. the interior of the detector will give you a fabulous light show! It’ll still work tho, just a little disconcerting

  Missed one test at the end @19:25: Check ohms ACROSS all combinations of male terminals, just to be CERTAIN that there are NO SHORT CIRCUITS. The end-to-end tests and the short-circuit tests should be performed on ANY cable that you buy, have built, or otherwise obtain. You don't want to find out there's a problem with live power energizing your cable!

  What if you don’t have a pipe. I have a meter on the side but then nothing. It goes straight from the meter into the house into a breaker box. I don’t even have a main breaker either. I just have a bunch of small ones that have 2 switches with 30 on them. Then I have a double with 30 and a double with 40.

  Need a little explaining. In the first example, the fire is started in the rag pile using a “rinky dink” extension cord powering multiple high draw appliances. Check. But in the second example the extension appears to be a higher quality power strip and the fire is initiated in the wall plug, not the power strip or the cable. Isn’t the primary problem is that you’re drawing 28 amps through a 15 amp socket? Would the same result happen if the power strip were replaced with a suitable heavy duty extension cord?

  ​@@thewhitefalcon8539 you're right. I think its crazy that homeowners will push things so far. It really does take a good bit of negligence on the homeowners part for this too happen when all other things are correctly done. It just seems crazy to me people will push things they don't understand so far that it catastrophicly falls, when it's their's and their's family's live at risk. It's good to see someone actually showing people how this happens instead of just saying trust us.

  Great information in the video for DIY'ers thinking about "adding power". But a real wall fire would not have a completely exposed back side, hence the oxygen available would be limited in real construction and would take significantly longer than the video. Building codes add precious time to escape and are designed to keep the fire to a smoky smolder rather than a raging fire like at the end of the video. 1/2 drywall alone is rated to 30 minutes. That means this fire would be oxygen deprived for up to (and most likely very close to) 30 minutes before it would break through the drywall and get oxygen and begin to grow and look like the end of the video. Its possible it could self-extinguish. The 2x6 blocking is rated to 60 minutes so the drywall is the weak point. For example, this is why modern codes require drywall finishing under staircases, even in basements. It gives you like 5 times the amount of time to escape out of what might be your only exit. A wall with a plexiglass sheet on the "viewing" side and fireblocking foam on the cable entry points would better simulate a real wall, up until the plexiglass melts. Best I can think of is a sheet of borosilicate glass but that would be hundreds of dollars.

  The insulation kept the heat in and let the heat soak into the wood whereas the cords were in open air, outside near to the ground and could draw cool air onto and convect away from them - IR cameras are great for showing issues like this. If a fuse is overloaded it will show hotter than the rest or damaged wire will be hotter at the damage

  Good information and well presented. My house was built in the 40's and I'm upgrading all the cloth 2 wire with 12/2NM-B. Since where I live requires no permits, I'll use what makes sense and ignore what doesn't. Adding outlets is a must since in 1940 they generously included ONE outlet for each bedroom but the new outlets will be at the same height as the existing ones. "The code is more of a guideline" to quote Captain Barbosa.

  Boss, please see this! I stumbled onto your video in a moment of desperation. I'm currently without roughly 40% of power throughout my house. I'm unsure if it's a GFCI fault, wiring, or whatever it could be.

• 
  @conquerallelectricalАй бұрын

  Depending on your location in the world some power utilities will come check out the meter and wires coming into the house for free so you should check on that first. That will eliminate the possibility of a loose connection to the house. If that fails and you have checked all gfci resets, any tripped breakers of fuses then unfortunately I think you may be into a service call to an electrician. Hope this helps a little. Have a good day.
